Would it be aight if I used this for an edit/mashup I'm working on? Just some small edits, an upscale, and assigning these to Edgewalkers instead

@maks052 Late reply, but yeah! Feel free to use it in your mod :)

Hello. Your mod is great! I used it in my maksimum kenshi mod set, I hope you won't mind. I will definitely indicate your mod in the list of used mods. Thank you in advance.
Talonn  [author] 22 Apr, 2024 @ 7:06pm 
@iriemk Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad my little textures could be elicit more than a "Neato!".

Sounds like you're going to have some cool-ass outposts! That's an effort I can endorse (because I'm biased and I do the same thing).

Thank you so much for this gem. It has been inspiring, to say the least. I installed this about two months back and by now, it has spawned a lot of black & red "children". What started with black Samurai Pants with red belts spiraled into a Black Gi top with red crest on the back, a 2nd Gi with different crest, then matching gi pants with red seams; then the "negatives" in red & black, then black getas with red toestring, black & red rattan hat & straight black hats of all kinds & shapes, then 3 different red & black crossbows, finally some fat-*** tier 3 turrets painted pitch black with a red targeting beam, and the wall textures are next on the agenda^^. Until the whole outpost has my new player faction colours!

Few mods have sparked that amount of ideas & motivated me to further customize my game, not with Kenshi or any other game I modded so far. Kudos to you, I love this mod!

@忍者Kha'j Wolf As of right now I'm not doing new textures. But I think there is a mostly black meitou texture somewhere here on the workshop. If I remember right, it's was one of the first 3 meitou textures, so if you sort by date it shouldn't be hard to find. There may be one fitting one your looking for made by a newer author too (I'm just not super up-to-date on the current stuff).
忍者Kha'j Wolf 8 Jan, 2024 @ 5:43am 
Can you make an all black version? So instead of the red just black?
Talonn  [author] 26 Dec, 2023 @ 9:22pm 
@千牧SeNmAK1 No new weapons, just textures. I believe the weapons were from the NWDM weapons pack found here on the workshop.
千牧SeNmAK1 30 Nov, 2023 @ 10:11am 
is it add new level of weapons?
G1uzz 6 Nov, 2022 @ 1:03pm 
@Talonn Mod is in testing phase, hoping to release soon ^-^
Talonn  [author] 28 Oct, 2022 @ 7:09pm 
@G1uzz Yep, feel free to do whatever. Credit, no credit, don't care either way. Cheers!
G1uzz 27 Oct, 2022 @ 10:37pm 
i came to ask for permission to use your textures in my mod with the promise of credit but after reading the comments im assuming its okay? Cheers mate, will give credit of course
Talonn  [author] 4 Apr, 2022 @ 6:20pm 
@Trinity Haha, sounds good! Shit is good sometimes, so shit or not, I fully endorse.
Trinity 4 Apr, 2022 @ 6:17pm 
I'll also try to make my mod not shit :kabuki: idk man I've been making alot of shit
Talonn  [author] 4 Apr, 2022 @ 6:15pm 
@Trinity Honestly, this was my first texture, I just kept editing it till it looked "not shit" LOL. This was mostly on a whim. I wish I could be more inspirational, but that's all honestly. You can take all the creative liberties you'd like there!
Trinity 4 Apr, 2022 @ 6:05pm 
I unironically think the red sabre boss should have this :winter2019sadbulb:
Trinity 4 Apr, 2022 @ 6:05pm 
What's the style you were going for, maybe I can mimic that in the name and stuff, I'll for sure credit you
Talonn  [author] 4 Apr, 2022 @ 5:45pm 
@Trinity Feel free. Implement it however you'd like, no credit or reference necessary. If you want you can grab my textures and use them as your own if its easier. :)
Trinity 4 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
Do you mind if I make a custom manufacturer with these skins? You can pick the name, everything. I'd like to just see this in the game as well as the original skins
一得阁拉米 23 Feb, 2022 @ 3:21am 
Can you make a version that changes the hilt to black
Goosicorn 1 Mar, 2021 @ 12:01pm 
Buddy, im beyond I'm in absolute love with this texture mod. You should add it for the vanilla katanas of the game.
JohnVicres 10 Sep, 2020 @ 6:28pm 
Ay Mr mod owner, would you perhaps still have the old texture's files around? I really liked the handle, as the current one seems like... it's made of demon leather.
TheyCallMeVincenzo 17 Aug, 2020 @ 12:22pm 
Please add more red handles to more weapons.
Doktober 6 Aug, 2020 @ 9:09am 
Weird but cool feature of this; I have a couple mods that add new weapons, some of which that have meitou versions, and they're affected by this mod. For example the hunting saber mod, I snatched it from the Dust King and at the time it was shiny silver. I downloaded this mod and it became a cool black with red wrap on the hilt. No idea how that happened but I'm grateful because it looks awesome!
Falcon_BR 24 Jul, 2020 @ 9:32pm 
@Taloon, I did that, but also founded a texture for a building, deleted all weapons textures, but not of the building, maybe it will bug the game it I did that.
Talonn  [author] 4 Apr, 2020 @ 8:46am 
@TheyCallMeVincenzo

The weapon previews are actually generated by the game itself.

there's an easy fix for that though. However it is a manual fix.

1. Go to Wherever your kenshi install is, Mine looks like this;
steamapps> common > Kenshi > Data > Icons
(This folder holds all the games non UI icons)

2. Search 5229
(All the icons with 5229X are game generated meitou icons)

3. Highlight all 5229s and delete.
(This is safe, as the game generates the icons based on the texture for these weapons, and will just regenerate them with the new textures when you run into them, so if you do uninstall my mod and want them to go back to vanilla, just do this again).
TheyCallMeVincenzo 3 Apr, 2020 @ 7:08pm 
There's a saber and I assume other weapon inventory icons that are still silver. Just hoping you could black and red-ify all the symbols someday. Thanks for the mod broski.
Adrian_Drifter 17 Dec, 2019 @ 7:31pm 
i have both azuchi armor and omo items, but neither of those have a shirt that covers all the body incluiding hands, where did you pick it from?
Talonn  [author] 24 Sep, 2019 @ 5:12pm 
@Waswar Thanks!
Waswar 24 Sep, 2019 @ 12:18am 
These are perfect.
Talonn  [author] 23 Sep, 2019 @ 8:05pm 
@Sinic I've been working on other, higher (but not too high) resolution textures for weapons. The only other one I've uploaded is my Dust Gold take on a recolour.

I thought about different colour combinations for the same textures but, honestly, doing that is a big pain and would flood the workshop with low effort work.
Sinic 23 Sep, 2019 @ 7:22pm 
@Talonn Could you make a different versions of this mod with different colour combinations? Like a red hilt and normal blade, or a yellow hilt? I'd like to try have a unique look for the Meitou weapons, except with less of an "edgy" twist like this one.
Talonn  [author] 23 Sep, 2019 @ 4:08pm 
@Sinic Hmm, I never thought of it that way.
Sinic 22 Sep, 2019 @ 7:32pm 
I always imagine a Crusader-esque white and red design for Meitou weapons, especially considering that the creator is named "Cross".
Talonn  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 5:58pm 
@Isaac Hipkiss Thanks dude!
Talonn  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 5:58pm 
@Ἷcє_Ɲσтє I use both

More Combat Animation
Military craft (New attacking moves)
Talonn  [author] 18 Sep, 2019 @ 5:56pm 
@g0jira The staff's model only have one component, compared to the hilt, blade, sheathe and guard of a sword/most other weapons. Only one texture is used as a result,so it'll look just plain black, same thing for the ironstick and one ore 2 polearms..

Working as intended.
Ἷcє_Ɲσтє 18 Sep, 2019 @ 3:54pm 
Where did you obtain the combat animations???
Deuce 18 Sep, 2019 @ 10:15am 
hmmm i have meitou staff... but it is not changed at all
Isaac Hipkiss 10 Sep, 2019 @ 8:32pm 
Thanks, this mod is great, good work!
Talonn  [author] 10 Sep, 2019 @ 12:38pm 
@Isaac Hipkiss Yep, just load this after it and you'll get that gorgeous metallic shine.
Isaac Hipkiss 10 Sep, 2019 @ 6:22am 
Will it work with weapon metal retexture mod?
Talonn  [author] 2 Sep, 2019 @ 9:01am 
@Brandon It'll still affect Meitou class textures, but it will not affect the new grades they add in.

So, yes and no?
CrimsonPants 2 Sep, 2019 @ 7:50am 
Think this will work with Master Smiths of Kenshi?
Talonn  [author] 21 Aug, 2019 @ 8:14pm 
@oh no Now that is a convenient observation. Thanks
oh no 21 Aug, 2019 @ 2:49pm 
All of the icons for Meitou weapons have "52293" in the file name, so you can save time tracking them down by searching for that sequence of numbers and deleting everything the filter finds.
Talonn  [author] 18 Aug, 2019 @ 8:31pm 
@Jre Zetic Holy Crap, well now I know, however, that sounds as tedious as plucking ass hair with a rusty tweezer, so, I think I'll pass on that. But that is pretty interesting. Thanks!
Zetic 16 Aug, 2019 @ 10:12pm 
And yep, my guess was right. You gotta force the vanilla icons to update by deleting the old meitou textured icons that are likely still hanging around in the icons folder. You can find that in the path steam>steamapps>common>Kenshi>data>icons> . You'll have to hunt them down in the folder since the names for most of the weapon icons aren't actually the weapon names, but that's one way to do it.
