I once attempted a dual DSS project just using the weapon.wil in the old 1.4 files, I got through a few of the different directions but was totally stumped by the armour overlay, and the fact without the source code it was completely impossible without making armours with pieces missing from them specifically for the dual weapons.

I expect this could be done aswell now, and using a serperate .wil file aswell. It's a long process of placing the weapons so that it doesnt look to out of place but maybe one of these days someone will pull it off in a similar style to this.

i already had this working one time but after many thoughts you will come to the conclusion its not possible unless all the armours are redone so the lefthand will swing like it has a weapon and atm none of the armours have the left hand swinging the way it should so yeah its possible to have dual weapons but after all it would be just another weapon in the other hand but will do nothing with it (so imo useless unless the armours has the possible handswing(or when i can create armours:P))

also you dont need to cut pieces out of the armour if youve read what i posted to explain why it needs code

also dual weapons can only be possible with 2 seperate .wil files since the 2nd .wil needs to has his own placements(X,Y) or you make 1 image with 2 weapons at just the right distance with new placements

to make a long story short to have DualWield working flawless you need custom armours(or added movement)



u still goin to be releasin this shield m8? ive thought of a way to add sheilds on TDs files, well kinda!

theres also another shield here if u want it:

so they are finally releasing it for free :P

dont wanna look bad but personnaly i think its a bit off scale

But i guess adding high ac/amc and that one that evades getting hit (Evasion oO) could make it a more realistic shield. (Obviously make it rare)

Release will take a bit longer since some images didnt realy come out good
so have to render some new images and add placements to it


P.S. i took the same shield and applied a new texture to it
please tell me what you think of it as im not sure if i like it :P
if enough people like it i will release that one aswell

example of SteelShield: (i dont have it ingame yet so have to do with this image)

All look good, mind me asking how do you create the images, for the shield wil files, do you just do each individual image in photoshop and then distort and perspective them after or do you use 3d max or something?
