Silver/Steel +2 Weapons

[MattC]

Hi everyone,

 

I have some experience in modding BG3 but I can't figure this one out.

 

I'm trying to find a way to edit the color of +2 weapons (specifically the shortsword) to remove the gold on it.

 

I figured some +1 weapons have some basic DDS textures but I can't find where they are located, or if they even are DDS, for the +2.

I can't find any LSF editing the colors either, but maybe I'm missing something obvious

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you very much

Weapons no longer use DDS textures, as Larian moved to mostly virtual textures a few patches back. You also cannot edit the colors in the lsx files either, as the textures are fully colored, unlike armor which has RGB colors applied to a mostly colorless textures.

 

My Basket Full of Equipment has recolored weapons, but those were made before the change to virtual textures, and they currently function as I imported all required assets from an earlier patch. This is a problematic solution, that I cannot recommend.

Hmm... Ok that's disappointing

I hold on to some hopes that it will change with the full release, but it looks unlikely unfortunately.

 

Is there any way you would plan to add something like that someday to your Basket Full of Equipment mod ?

I think it would make a great addition if you added a couple of +2 color variants weapons

 

Thank you for answering anyways, I really appreciate

As the only currently available method to recolor weapons would be to import assets from a much earlier patch, it is highly unlikely that any modder would release such mods. So unfortunately we will need to wait for proper mod tools to make weapon recolor mods.
