Changelogs
Version 1.4
Overhauled the Black Sword's model. Most of the UVs have been redone, and the model itself has undergone a bit of reshaping as wel, mainly with the addition of 3d patternwork on the ricasso
Along with the overhauled model comes new textures! Things are a bit more detailed and slicker now. The scabbard's been revised as well and given a more simplistic, stark look (save for the ankh).
The death effect is now scriptless
The rain of fire ability has been changed to a "ring" of fire, basically a large-radius Flame Cloak. This ring of fire was what it was supposed to do, and ideally I'd have it create a ring of fire hazard around you, but I felt that'd be kind of complex to pull off.
The amount of blackrock needed for the sword has been reduced to 5, and steel is now a part of the crafting and tempering recipes (since the Black Sword's blade is metal, not blackrock). The sword is also classified as Ebony so it can be tempered full-tilt.
Adjusted the soul gem model so it lays flat if dropped.
Redid the textures for the raw blackrock.
Version 1.3
Blackrock now has a new custom model and texture.
Blackrock leveling has been adjusted again, hopefully for good this time. Blackrock is somewhat rare on Falmer, Dwarven Spiders and Centurions, but has a better chance of showing up in those (though it's still more likely on Dwarven spiders and centurions). However, there's a much greater chance of it showing up in Dwarven boss chests. You now, also, have a small chance of getting it out of ore veins.
Rain of Fire ability has been adjusted again. Now rather than using the meteor-style impact, it explodes like a fireball.
Rocky Edition's esp was removed. If ya wanna have the rocky sounds for when you drop the sword, just replace the BlackSword.bsa with the one in the Rocky edition folder. If you do that, extract the Meshes and Textures folders you see in the Rocky Edition folder, as those are for the updated Blackrock model, which isn't in the Rocky Edition BSA.
Version 1.2b
Adjusted the soul trap effect's chance condition
Made a unique instant kill script for the Black Sword, derived from Mehrunes' Razor
Adjusted the damage of the Rain of Fire ability a little
From here on out the Rocky Edition will come with the main file, so you don't need to download a separate file. You really only need to replace the BSA with the Rocky Edition BSA for it to work. Next update I'll remove the Rocky Edition ESP
Version 1.2a
Fixed the soulgem bug where, if you tried to use a filled Black Sword soulgem, the game would crash to desktop.
Black Sword soul gem is now glowy empty or full, due to having to eliminate the filled version for the above fix to work.
Minor under the hood tweaks.
Version 1.2
Fixed the issue where having more than one piece of blackrock would hide the sword in the forge list, making both versions of the Unbalanced Black Sword impossible to craft.
Tweaked the leveling of blackrock a bit more. Now it has a chance of showing up on Centurions, as well as in dwarven boss chests.
Version 1.1a
Adjusted the blackrock leveling, so now blackrock should have a better chance of showing up on Dwarven Spiders, and a minimal chance of showing up on Falmer
Version 1.1
Added a one handed version of the sword. Does a bit less damage, but swings faster. Uses the same amount of blackrock to forge.
