NOTE: THESE WEAPONS MAY NOT BE PUBLICLY ALTERED OR RELEASED IN ANY FORMAT WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S CONSENT. THESE WEAPONS MAY ALSO NOT BE UPLOADED TO PCGAMEMODS.COM IN ANY WAY, AT THE AUTHOR'S REQUEST.

CREDITS AND THANKS: Thanks to graves - I stole your blood effects from Dante's Alastor.

I do have some special thanks to dole out to a certain several people, without whom this pack would have never come to light.

Trauma Sensei: Without your constant support I would have given up early and become a moisture farmer... or something.

Almighty Gir: You got me started with this modelling stuff. Maybe one day I'll be able to create wonderful masterpieces such as your models ;)

Haruki: You're just kind of annoying, y'know? Er, I mean... you were a great inspiration when I ran out of ideas. Pupu and the Blitzball are dedicated to you!

Beta Testers:
-Trauma Sensei
-Haruki Exodis
-HolaPanda
-LukeSky

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Put the PK3s you want into your base folder. If you have no previous sabers added to your SP saber menu, put "ffxweps_sp.pk3" into your base folder (if you want these weapons in single-player). If you already have some sabers put into SP, please see the included tutorial.

INCLUDED PK3s:
auron_kata.pk3
blitzball_thermal.pk3
kimahri_spiritlance.pk3
pupu_detpack.pk3
rikku_claw.pk3
sphere_tripmine.pk3
tidus_brotherhood.pk3
tidus_longsword.pk3
yuna_nirvana.pk3
ffxweps_sp.pk3

DESCRIPTION: This is a group of 9 weapons based on the game "Final Fantasy X," including 6 new sabers and 3 demolitions weapons.

INCLUDED WEAPONS:
-Tidus's Longsword (with staff variant)
-Tidus's Brotherhood
-Auron's Katana
-Yuna's Nirvana
-Kimahri's Spiritlance
-Rikku's Claws (dual sabers)
-Lulu's Pupu (detonation pack)
-Wakka's Blitzball (thermal detonator)
-Sphere (trip mine // laser trap)

SP SABER COMMANDS:
-Tidus's Longsword --> tidus_longsword, tidus_longsword_staff
-Tidus's Brotherhood --> brotherhood
-Auron's Katana --> auron_katana
-Yuna's Nirvana --> yuna_nirvana
-Kimahri's Spiritlance --> spiritlance
-Rikku's Claws --> rikku_claw (right hand only), rikku_claw_left (left hand only)

FIXES DURING BETA:
-Fixed several soundsets which were "off" due to copy-pasting.
-Fixed several shaders.
-Fixed an error with plane transparency on Kimahri's Spiritlance -- thanks Trauma.
-Fixed the blitzball soundset to reflect the consistency of a blitzball rather than a metal thermal detonator.
-Fixed several sabers which did not bounce off of the architecture.
-Fixed the hilt color of Auron's Katana to reflect in-game photos rather than the artist rendering.
-Fixed several missing/incorrect sounds.
-Fixed thermal detonator belt -- now reflects the blitzball.

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES:
-Rikku's Claws are a highly impractical weapon, considering the angle of the blades and their length. Also, they look silly with single-bladed stances, so I suggest using these as dual sabers, should you choose to use them. There are two models - each is marked with the proper hand to use it for.
-Not so much a bug as a personal preference, but the Brotherhood has no blood effects, because I believed they were not needed. Should you decide you want the blood effects, just open up the .sab file and add the following lines:


	g2MarksShader		"gfx/damage/bloodcutmark"
	g2WeaponMarkShader	"gfx/effects/bloodsplat"
	hitPersonEffect		"sword/damage_person.efx"

Then either copy the effects folder from one of the other PK3 files to your "tidus_brotherhood.pk3" or if you have another PK3 with the effects in it it should work as well.

COMMENTS: This is really my first peek into modelling, so I hope in the future to release more weapons (or weapon packs). I was thinking of perhaps doing a gunblade pack next, as I have already modeled (but not released) Seifer's gunblade. For and comments/requests on my next project, feel free to bug me on GamingForums.

NOTE: For instructions on getting sabers into the single-player menu, I have included a tutorial for those who already have sabers in SP. For those that don't, I have included  the necessary files.
