Rencong from Aceh is in Sumatra Island not Central Java
Sabit in your mod is rather incorrect, Sabit is not a Hatchet or "Kapak" in Indonesian general terms for tools, and Sabit looks like this
for your model of Keris/Kris, i really hope you can mimic this shape
or this one
you can ignore the fancy decorations and unique hilt shape, but the thin blade and its curves are very important as this blade were mainly designed to easily penetrate skin and create wide and potentially fatal wounds which leads to death from losing too much blood
Kujang in your mod is nearly perfect, but i suggest adding a bronze ring that visually locks the blade to its hilt. this applies to all of your weapons ans this is how the blades and its hilt were joined, hiding the tang altogether
hopefully you can continue to work on this mod and good luck
Wanted to tell you I haven't forgotten your help! I've got school and a bunch of other real life stuff going on, plus tons of other mods! I am not happy with the original Keris model compared to the real thing. Because of the cultural and spiritual significance of the weapon, I want to make it correctly this time.
I always found teh spiritual and cultural side of "Asian" martial arts so fascinating. That's why I used to kind of like Chinese Martial arts better then Japanese strong styles. But the effective combat of the Chinese martial arts kind of got mixed out on favor of Opera and Performance.
But some cultures didn't do that. They kept the spiritual side AND the strong intended for war techniques. Awesome stuff.
Being an actual student and teacher for many years IRL of one of these styles, are there custom animations to go with the weapons or just generic stab stab, slash slash, hack. Just asking will be dling the mod anyway sort of a weapons mod junkie anyhow.
