Requesting some swords to be modded into the game

[Muse53]

I've looked all over the place for this mod, or anything like it and I haven't found it, so I apologize in advance if there is a mod already out there that does this. However, I don't think anyone has done it, and if they have, they haven't released it. Not on it's own anyway.

 

There's two swords I would love to have modded into the game. One of them would require SI as it is the Gatekeeper's sword. I ripped the meshes and textures from the .bsa, and even placed it into my game, but I'm not a modder, not yet. I still have much to learn about nifskope and especially, creating havok properties on an item. I tried to learn how to do it last night, but I was lost in a sea of alien verbatim. I also realize that this mesh takes place of the right forearm, so maybe that's why the nif doesn't have havok on it, or why it can't just be dropped into the game and used as a sword. I think the gatekeeper uses some special nif called "swordtouch" in order to hit the player with it. I don't know, like I said I'm not a modder. I also realize it would take some tweaking to make it into a sword, but at the same time I think I'd prefer it as something you put your hand into and have pointed straight out. Again I realize this would probably take special animations to do so, and I would be happily contented with just the sword. It is, in my opinion, an awesome sword.

 

The next one I'd want to be made into a sword would need to be scaled down. I haven't tried adding this one to the game as I can already imagine some nif and textures would have to be doctored up to account for the tip of the sword, as well as the hilt.

 

Those blades that fall from the celling in the Oblivion wastes Citadels, you know the ones that have yellow accents? I have no clue why no one has tried to make that into a sword, but it'd be awesome. Hell, it could even be made into some kind of tower shield if scaled down enough.

 

That's the gist of it. I'd happily work with anyone on a mod such as this. I am a fantasy artist myself, so I don't think textures would be a problem if I needed to make them. I am willing to learn or have some kind of guidance in the field of modding. So maybe something could be worked out.

 

If you know of a reason why this isn't possible, please, feel free to tell me.

For Oblivion Trap Sword, did you search for that through? If not yet, see this.

No I didn't, I guess I should have. It was just an addendum to the first request. Thank you very much for giving me this link though, I'm downloading it already!

As for the Gatekeeper Sword me and Mihnea (also a beginner modder here) have it in one project. But we will begin working on the project only in the summer holiday but as soon as the sword is finished me or Mihnea will upload it. So if nobody is gonna release it untill then just wait for it ;)

I don't know if I can wait! Oh well, time for me to get blender.

Seems that me and Mihnea coulnd't wait for the summer and started a mod named "Gatekeeper Gear". The sword and the axe are playable (I tested them) right now we are working on the mace and the harness. The harness is ready, I made it to fit the player body almost perfectly but I lack the knowledge to make it playable. So right now we are trying to make it playable then we are going to make the mace (which will take very little time to make playable). Also you can get my Gatekeeper Helmet here (which will be included it the Gatekeeper Gear mod) :
