Hello everyone, I'm sort of semi-new (Tom of Diadem of Maunstraut fame helped me start into SoM before my computer went boom) to the whole development process that is creating games by SoM... it's really nice to meet you all and I do apologise if the things in this topic are somewhat hard to make sense of.
I presented a question to Tom a while back about the character potentially 'shapeshifting' to different monster types. He gave a few suggestions about making different versions of maps to represent the change of view as the creatures with stat and item changes, but I was wondering if any of you could give a fresh insight into the idea?
Another question I have is about is it possible to potentially make new monsters using the textures that are already on other monsters (such as the wood texture from the tree stalker monsters on a dragon or lizardman monster)?
With those questions out of the way, I suppose I should get to the main point of the topic which was the request... I'm a really huge fan of the King's Field equipment (I just have to say, the dark armour of King's Field 2 (Or King's Field 1 in the US and UK) was easily my favorite armour and the excellector was easily my favorite sword from King's Field 3), but SoM does not have any real models for items from these games (and it really doesn't look nice trying to remake Excellector and having to use the ice blade/dagger for looks) so I was wondering if I could request model downloads of the items from the King's Field games for those things that really do not exist in SoM already. If they do exist already, that's great (and I'd like to be pointed to them) but if they don't, I am hoping someone will take up the request as I'm not really very savvy in model editing (as you can likely guess). The reason for the request is I have a idea but I kind of need the models so that I can help distinguish for the player what each item truely is (as otherwise, they'd have a hard time telling the difference by looking that Excellector is not a Ice Blade or a Shard Sword)
