I know it says "don't convert this for other games", but does that include Oblivion? I'd like to have an archer character with this bow, as any other bows I can find for Oblivion just don't look nearly as good.
Oblivion used bowmorphs and not rigging or skeleton like Skyrim does. This .nif won’t work for Oblivion unless you open the model in a modeling program and create 2 different saves One as at rest and one drawn then trick nifscope into creating the bowmorphs for you using Windy’s method. There’s a tutorial floating around I wrote on how to use windy’s method for bows in Oblivion.
If you want to do all that to bring this to Oblivion you have my permission to do so. Upload only to the nexus and keep Dark0ne somewhere in its name as well as credit me for my original work.
Great mod Nico. Iove it, especially with the Dreadweaver arrows...! : ) Is there a way for me to modify your mod with the CK (for myself of course), to make the bow appear when I drop it? Oddly enough, I can craft it, shoot it, hang it on a weapon rack and to top it all off, there's one sitting in yorvaskr - but for whatever reason, when I drop the bow from my inventory, it simply disappears...
This was my bad. It was an issue with the block structure in the nif and export options I chose when exporting. I am sorry it took so long for me to revisit this but it’s repaired in version 1.1 which is available now
That is the damage on his game with his character's perks, and skills. Not what it is in the CK. I don't like overpowered weapons. Takes the fun out of it when there is no challenge. I don't remember exactly what i created this as but I can tell you is isn't any stronger than Daedric. I never make anything stronger than Daedric......NEVER.
Edit: so someone asked for SSE and I looked it up In the CK: Value 1440 ignores normal weapon resistance vendor item weapon Weapon material Ebony Weapon type bow weight 12 speed .6625 (Daedric is .5 Ebony is .5625) Damage 18 (Daedric is 19. Ebony is 17 for reference) Craftable 1 moonstone 3 ebony Temperable 1 ebony 1 moonstone at grindstone Enchantable Yes
Open the file located at steam/ steamapps/ common/ skyrim/ data/ textures/ weapons/ Bow of the Darkone. Find and open file called 'this bow is for darkone.dds' in gimp or some other program that can handle .dds files. Change the white area to whatever color you want. Save (or export in the case of Gimp) as the same name file DXT3 with mipmaps. enjoy
Hi while walking into Jorrvaskr I glitched and fell through the map when I returned I saw that bow laying next to me. Its kind of strange how i didn't download this mod but I manged to find it through a glitch, has this happened to anyone else, or is it just me?

the shape is based on a bow from the Movie Avatar
Just a fun fact :)

Honestly didn't think it would be as well received as it was.
I have gone in and updated the .nif to repair the bow drop issue, and updated the arrow connection point on the string to match vanilla bows.
Glad to see people having fun with it.
It says, "This bow is for Dark0ne" which is who it was created for.
