Thanks for the guide. I'm having trouble when I export back to .GR2 and then reimport to check, my armature seems to reposition incorrectly. I've made sure my Y-up and Convert to Y-up are not enabled.
I wanted to thank you immensly for this template as it got me going real fast at making my first weapon mod. However, one thing I noticed was that the tooltip icon from the Atlas shows up empty using the template. I did create a new UUID and added it to the two places and made sure that the case sensitivity of the .dds extension was respected. I tried reverting back to the unaltered mod and the spoon tooltip icon is empty as well. May I ask for some help please?
I'd just like to point out, for anyone daunted by how much effort this takes, this is very much the manual way of creating mods. The automatic way is using something like BG3 Equipment Generator. If you're finding yourself almost instantly in over your head, unable to figure out the manual method, try using one of the mod tools community members have created exactly for people who can't wrap their head around the manual way.
Regardless, thank you Palmaman33 for sharing your methods! I use a lot of your mods. I will also take this time to request from you: more katana mods! :)
BG3 Equipment Manager works for weapons, armor (including camp clothing/shoes/underwear), jewelry and instruments. All equippable items are available to be created in BG3 EM. Make sure you're using the most updated version from Github.
So I am trying to mod a pre-existing weapon mod to include two additional passives to it found on the Adamantine Longsword. But for some reason only a colon is showing up for each passive for both the modded weapon and the in-game weapon.
Also, does anyone know if Diamondsbane is bugged or something? No matter what I strike, it never crits.
It is outdated and incorrect, so you are not at fault. Blender is now in 4.0 and the author of this mod makes no reference to those changes in the guide here (which isnt their fault tbh), and Norbyte has made no changes to their guide either. I cannot offer a solution yet as I have not figured it out myself but when I do I will let you know.

I'm trying to add a spear using your helpful guide, but I'm absolutely stuck. I was able to find the guid for spears but its invisible in game. I messaged a Palmaman33 on discord but its ok if youre too busy. I usually use already existing mods and change the GR2 and DDS, but not a SINGLE soul on the nexus has added a custom spear using a similar format (Generated folder included) to your guide. I went into weapon.txt and also changed it to WPN_Spear, but no dice. PLS help :>
I don't even know how to do a manual download but am interested in modding. How do I get started? can I use a mod manager download? What files doo I open? sorry I'm ignorant.

Any idea what might be the issue?
Anyone know where to find a guide to make custom books and notes?

Lol, I just wanted to make three daggers and incorporate them with that Crafting mod.

Ironically it is your lightsaber mod that I want to tweak. Wanted to add 1 color, make a shorter version for Body Type 1 and a Lightsaber staff.
I am stuck on the Github page to clone and set up pathways. I literally get completely lost there.
