Shikargar .dat Swap

EDIT: Problem solved.

Here's Nicolas Cage.

What is the shikargar .dat? I can't seem to find it anywhere and I want to change it

whats ur race/gender?

Can't find it either in the viewer, but I'm taru male F6A

rom/49/101 dubbed "gold sword" in Altana View.

Would it be the same for Hume Males?

rom/27/82 for hume male

lol, don't think that worked... I'm like this invisible blob now.

rom/30/95 so sorry was looking at wrong item ^^;

Yay, thanks! :)

I've never tried to dat mod an off hand weapon before but since I've got almace, and that looks fine, I'm only concerned about switching out my off hand weapon.

Now I did notice that main hand and off hand have different dats. When I select the "Gold Sword" in my main hand it displays rom\30\95 but on my off hand it displays rom\109\99.

So I figured I'd switch out 109\99 and it'd work fine but the dat I replaced it with simply changes it to my main hand so I have two swords in my main and none in my off hand. Now if I take another dat from that same area, say 109\99 then it works just fine.

Are weapon dats main and subbed different in some way?

I've got a dat for caliburn from Fate/stay night and I'd much rather use that one but I'm not sure it's possible without some kind of modification.

Er, it works in my main-hand, but not my off-hand. Is the off-hand a separate .dat?

yeah

Well, anyone know the off-hand Shikargar .dat?

In my post above.

Are you a Hume Male?

Yep. Though be warned, as I pointed out in that same post, if you aren't getting your dat from the off hand swords dats then it won't work as it seems one hand weapons are hand oriented.

My dat mod was a main hand weapon and won't work in a sub. Regardless of which dat I change (or both) it puts it in my main hand instead so I get 2 swords in one hand and nothing in my off hand.

Yeah, I got the off-hand .dat for it. Thanks for clearing that up though.

Ok, that's wierd. It's an off-hand .dat, but it puts them both in my main hand still.

I'm rather curious how one might be able to port a dat to the other hand. Opening the dats in notepad++ shows that they are quite similar, there's only a few things that are shifted around or changed but I've not the slightest clue what it would take to do.

Guess I'm stuck looking at my fugly Shikargar untill I, or someone else manages to make this work.

What is it that you'd like to change yours in to?

Brotherhood from FFX

I'm almost certain that Draylo has his offhanded.

As you can see from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN0bbK41a9Y

Perhaps he can shine some light for us.

Light the Draylo signal?

Come to think of it, it's odd as hell that Draylo hasn't chimed in on this thread yet, usually he's all over these BLU threads.

Gold sword, hume male, main hand = ROM\30\95.DAT
Gold sword, hume male, sub hand = ROM\109\99.DAT


Don't have one to test myself, nor am I a hume male :P

Got that part, unfortunately regardless of which one of those DATs you replace, the weapon appears in your main hand. ^^;

I assume there's some trick to making a weapon a sub but /shrug. Hell if I know what it is.

._. For the last time, it was yellow.

You really need to stop harassing me, I blacklisted you for a reason.

Older post wasn't so relevant, had missed some from above.
I just downloaded the Brotherhood .dats from the link here, copied HM_Sword-Main_Brotherhood/Sub to 30/95 for Main and 109/99 for Sub over Gold Sword, and in Atlana Viewer at least, I'm not getting that Weapon in two hands thing that was described. Both weapons "unsheathe" to their correct hands, and there's no errors during ws or anything.

Can't duplicate that issue so not sure what could even be causing it, though again this is just in Altanaviewer as I'm not a hume.
Doesn't seem like copying over main and sub would even make a difference, and sadly that was my only idea.

Hope you're able to get this worked out, Shikargar are god awful and Brotherhood does look way better.

Altana viewer does the same thing for me. But I'm not using the brotherhood sword dat. I should probably try that too to see what results I get.

I can see a difference in the dats for the main hand versions of a weapon and the off hand so I'm sure there's something that needs to be done to make it work or make it have the info for "both hands"?

No idea what the cause is but I really like my Caliburn dat ^^;

Perhaps I can get the input of a dat modder. See if there is a difference or if the issue is with my stuff.
