Requesting Dual Wielding 2-Handers Mod =]

i made a mod years ago that has 2 handed swords, axes and maces as single handed, perhaps can give it a try...

Hi man, thanks for the mod. I had a play with it, and it isnt quite what I was looking for. I was kinda hoping to be able to wield actual 2 handers, as opposed to 2 handers being converted into 1 handers, get what I mean? As in dual wielding 2 handers that have actual 2 hander damage.

I like the idea of half giants and full giants having the racial ability to dual wield 2 handers due to their size and strength.
The only modding experience I have is using the TES editor in morrowind to create new content, otherwise I would try making the mod myself. Think Im going to look into some modding guides for DSII.

Also, do you have any idea if what I want to achieve is possible?

Thanks again for the help

the swords can be made with 2 handed damage. originally that mod was made to make them single handed the lazy way and it used single handed weapon speed and damage, its possible to make them 2 handed weapons one handed with their actual swing speed and damage, just have to change is_two_handed = true;
to is_two_handed = false; in wpn_bases.gas and that would fix them all, side effect is it would change the monsters too... so have to change the 3 weapon files instead and go into each weapon and add is_two_handed = false; to each one to not effect monsters... but then humans, elves,dryads and dwarves could use them, which is not what u want cause u want half-giants and giants only, which i dont think is possible with ds2. so yes you can make it do 2 handed damage, just not half-giant only.

Right, I see. Well, I guess I will just do it that way then I think. What are the three files I have to edit? And I can edit them using a text editor right?
Thanks for the assistance btw =]

I just realised, this would remove actual 2-handers from the game entirely would it not? As in, you wouldnt be able to spec a party member as a 2-h... Hmm...
Well, I had Saran specced as a 2-h wielder, guess I will just change him to a dual wield spec.

wpn_hammer_2h.gas, wpn_sword_2h.gas, and wpn_axe_2h.gas are the 3 files needed and are editted with a txt editor such as notepad, etc. and if u overwrite the originals it would indeed change them so that original 2handers would be gone from game, thus that is why u rename the templates and make new ones that will drop and sell throughout the game, like i did with the mod.

i worked on this yesterday and all thats left is renaming templates, also found a few set weapons and crafted weapons too.

right, I see. and your already working on a mod for this you say? thats awesome, you the man =]

problem im running into now is 2 handed weapons will keep their original names, but the new dual wield have those names too should i rename the dual wield versions?

Hi Where do you exactly find these files wpn_hammer_2h.gas, wpn_sword_2h.gas, and wpn_axe_2h.gas on broken world

The 2 handed weapons introduced in Broken world are located in wpn_ds2x.gas, wpn_crossover_ds2x.gas and wpn_unique_ds2x.gas files.

Link for download this mod?
