A huge collection of weapons made by me using textures provided by Angelus of the popular UPDATED: More weapons have been added and everything has been given custom icons, instead of using the broadsword icon. Prices and damages have been adjusted to estimate value in dark ages (previously set to modern times prices). More details can be found in the README.TXT included in the download. The new weapons are not shown in the screenshot
This is a custom Vampire the Masquerade Redemption weapon model pack. Mirrored here for archival purposes.

Thank you for downloading the Angelus Blade Pack V2.0
If you are under the impression that your friends NEED to have this pack and the conventional method of distribution is not fitting, you may distribute this pack at your leisure provided you accompany it with this readme either included with the .zip file or with the uncompressed .nob.
NOTES:
Making this readme was almost as fun as making sword-chucks. But it wasn't nearly as fun as _using_ them. 84 Cherry-Flavored Pepsi's were consumed in the making of this pack. 12 after-midnight sessions were spent in production. During after-midnight sessions, 5 times has a parent stepped in and asked, 'What are you doing?'. I received 560 messages on the Malkavian Madness Network throughout the production. I have 36 lashes on my back from Angelus forcing me to get back to work.
INSTALLATION:
Uncompress the zip file, which you must have done if you're reading this file.
Slide the AngelusBladePackV2.nob file into your Main Vampire Directory, which will most likely be Drive:\Program Files\Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption\
Yes, its THAT easy.
USE:
All files are under the prefix Angelus_, to be sure your copy of the pack is untampered, make sure you have 3 axes, 3 daggers, 2 scabbards, 20 swords, and 2 thrown weapons. That's 30 weapons. Now start up the game and, preferably in LAN, make a game to test the weapons. Using the Storyteller mode, click on the Item Pane, turning off the short list, and find Angelus_ in the list, it should be near the top, unless you're alphabet is... different. While I tried to test all of the weapons with all of the different character types, I 'may' have missed an error, if you do run across a mishap or hideously ugly aspect of the pack that makes it not the epitome of perfection, contact me immediately about getting it fixed. Which brings me to my next topic..
BUGS:
Bugs have been fixed.
Yes, fixed.
CONTEST:
This bit is for the awesome Choddy or beautiful Renee LaTroue who is grading this pack for the Contest of Skills, if you're not grading the old stuff, be sure to read the Upgrades section to find out whats new. I'd like to dedicate this pack to you*
MODIFICATIONS:
You are free to edit all of these weapons as much as you like and release the modifications as long as you included me as the original author, your modification may be as insignificant as stat changing and I'll let you do it, as long as I get worshipped for the model, got it? And none of that 'Well he just changed Nihilistic's stuff' because these models come COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH, the textures are digital pictures taken of actual swords that were either stolen by me or by my trusty partner-in-crime, Angelus.
In case you must know, the textures used were from several fantasy sword online catalogues like www.bladestore.com,, and some other places of similar design, without these completely ignorant legitamite businesses, this pack would not have been possible. If you think about it, its sort of like free advertising, and whose going to sue me over free advertising? Someone go buy a $200 sword from them right now, it will clear my conscience.
UPGRADES SINCE V1.0:
*The original pack had 14 items, this one has 30 items, that's an upgrade.
*All original and newer models have been given custom icons, which rock.
*Bugs in the way people hold the two original axes and scabbard2 have been fixed.
*All weapons have been made 1-handed, despite how your character holds it in the graphic, so that you may also equip a scabbard, shield, or prop from any other model packs you own.
*Prices have been changed from rough estimates of Modern Day value, to Dark Age, since I figured you're more likely to run into these babies back in 1150 AD.
SUGGESTIONS/REQUESTS:
If you have any suggestions for new weapons/packs, or want me to make a weapon for you, read further.
-I reserve the right to refuse anyone for any reason I want, remember I'm not getting paid for this, therefore if you're afraid I 'may' refuse your request, unlikely as it may seem, money will get it done for you. Contact me if monetary persuasion is up your alley, I AM willing to negotiate.
-There are certain things I will refuse to do before you even ask me, these include but are not limited to: Whips, Nunchucks, Swords with dangly frilly bits, dangly frilly bits (not necessarily on swords@), chains, character models (ask a skinner), anything to insult or offend someone, be they individual or en masse, anything completely uncharacteristic of the World of Darkness, lightsabers fall into this category, however most sci-fi weapons could conceivably exist, anything that will get me SUED is a definate no-no. I do not do Bent Spears, I never have and probably never will, I don't know why, but just understand its off the list. I will not model weapons that look like sex toys, nor will I make sex toys that look like weapons, don't ask either way.
-If your request has survived this extensive list (The List of the Damned, I call it) you may contact me at ccrc43a@prodigy.net, or on ICQ at 135030881, requests are handled, in most cases, in the order they are received, and my work as a Wodmod modeller comes first before free-lance stuff. (so they don't kick me off the team for showing at developer chats just to cause trouble, see?)
FUTURE RELEASES:
I don't know if there are going to be any, if there are, I may advance to guns, or simply rip off more movie/game blades until I've exhausted the world's supply then I'll move on to Neverwinter Nights to model all over again^.
QUOTES:
For an extensive list of silly little bloopers that came to my head while I was rearranging pixels to look like bladed weapons of trivial destruction, look in the .not file under the 'Comments' of each template.
FOOTNOTES:
*No not Choddy or Renee, I mean the person reading this, however if you are Choddy or Renee, this is dedicated to you. However the true meaning was that this pack was dedicated to everyone who downloaded it, but you knew that..
^Starting All Over Again: 1. The action of ripping previously made models into NWN because I'm still their owner and no one can stop me.
@If you don't understand what I mean, contact me in private and I'll explain it to you, but I warn you that I'm not your father and it may be more appropriate for a person you know better to teach you about this sort of thing.
POLITICS:
I don't care if he has to kill to do it, Collin Powell _WILL_ be president, someday.
