About this mod

Permissions and credits
This mod is intended for those who use the "The Dark weapons (VGX Trailers)" mod by nayefk93: I loved playing with the cursed blades from Witcher 2 but I found unimmersive the fact that there were no custom inventory icons for them, so I made them :) I also replaced the default scabbards to make their look more "dark" and lore friendly ("scabbard_steel_1_03" for the steel swords and "scabbard_silver_1_05" for silver swords), so...no more akward green scabbard for Anathema! ;)

But...it isn't over yet: I also changed the icons for some swords in the game: these swords are now relics, since they are the "final level" of some sword set...for example: the "Faroe Blade" is now a relic, since it is the "Skellige sword 4", the "Melltith" is now a relic, since it is the "Elven silver sword 2", and so on (in the image section there are all the new icons, the list of the sword that are now relics and their debug console code)

This mod also fixes an error of the original game: the swords "Steiger" and "Faustino", when crafted, equipped the wrong template, and they looked exactly as the "Dwarven Blade" and the "Blade of Tir Tochair"...I corrected the error in the xml file, so now we can play with a full set of Dwarven or Gnomish swords, without having a copy of the same sword :) 

THIS MOD DOESN'T REPLACE THE MODELS OF THE DARK WEAPONS, IT ONLY REPLACES ICONS AND SCABBARDS...IN ORDER TO HAVE THOSE WEAPONS YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE MOD OF NAYEFK93 AT THIS LINK:

use script merger to resolve some possible conflicts with other mods that modifie the xml files ;)



...good news: the description is finished, have fun! ;)

-update: I've noticed a little bug...when you open some menu (for exaple the "dismantle" one) the icons of the Dark Weapons are huge: this is caused by the size of the icons...if I reduce them, they will look really bad, since many pixels would be lost, and this is a very minor bug, so if I don't find a solution the mod will stay like this, sorry :) 

-1.1: added support for "WItcher 2 Weapons-Alpha": now Aerondight has brown scabbard and Vran sword has no scabbard, so it could be used without AMM
