This is my first released mod for Oblivion, so I am open to any rational and constructive criticisms from anyone who has tried this mod.

This mod adds the Daedric Katana and Dai-katana to the game.These elegant and powerful weapons can be found on high level (20+) mobs throughout the game (since I didn't want to just hand it over to newbie characters). However, if you cannot wait to get your hands on these weapons, you can find that they are in the display cases adjacent to the Grandmaster's chest upstairs in the Chorol Fighter's Guild.You can either gain the key by becoming the Grandmaster of the guild, or pick the locks (Very Hard and it's stealing unless you're the Grandmaster).Also, Jauffrey carries a Daedric Dai-katana now, so nab it from him if you can (wait until he sleeps).


Install:

Simply extract the zip to your Oblivion directory, and click "Yes to all".


Technical:

I made this mod using the TES Construction Set, MS Paint, and the HHD Hex Editor.The texture I created is based off the Akaviri Katana texture and the Daedric Longsword texture, then mapped onto the original Akaviri Katana and Dai-Katana meshes, all of which were made by Bethesda Softworks.


Bugs:

This is my first texture job and indeed, the textures are a bit blurry.Also, I could not get a glowmap to work with this texture (heck, I can't even open the .dds file for them, any tips on this would be appreciated).Finally, chances are if you walk into the Chorol Fighter's Guild, the first things you will hear are the swords rattling down to the bottom slope of the display cases.I can't get them to stay put for anything!Currently no known conficts, but be wary if you use mods that modify leveled lists.


Misc:

Finally, if you want to use these weapons in your own mod, feel free.Just give me a bit of credit for them!

Enjoy.


EDIT: I just figured out how to get the screenshots up now. I know how annoying it is when someone uploads a mod like this without screenshots...
