Custom textures for items/props

[Merethif]

I've managed to make some custom texture this week that I'd like to share.
These are mostly things that serve as props/decorations for a dungeon, but shields will also suit well in case of some unique/magic item.

Throwing Hammers. Actually it's a retextured warhammer with new icon, but at least it reminds me of the good old days playing D&D Tower of Doom in the local arcade. Screenshot below shows the differences between warhammer and throwing hammer.

I've made it more powerful but slower then throwing axe to keep consistency with axes/maces logic of LoG. Also, because it's such a heavy weapon it requires some knowledge of throwing techniques to actually use it.

Shields. Shield are looking best when placed on "shield hook alcove" that you may find here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3411&start=150#p36895 (credits to Crisman and Neikun, the shield hook is made almost entirely by mixing their scripts).

So far I've made two textures for round shields and two for heavy shield. Here are three of them:

The forth shield texture was made to fit the item which is called Ranger's Shield. The idea behind the Ranger's Shield is to have a shield dedicated to warrior-mages, who would like to backup sword/axe with an occasional spell (think of the ranger), and generally it can be used to open spell menu just like staves and orbs. That's why I tried to give it a more arcane look:

Ranger's Shield may be useful for a tank mage as well. Of course in your mod you can use this texture however you like.

Gobelins. I've tried to recreate gobelins from Lands of Lore, either the ones for Gladstone Keep or Roland's Manor:

This is how all four gobelins look like compared to original ones form Land of Lore.

All above textures and models can be downloaded here: http://ge.tt/6BmHJQP?c (together with icons for shields)
(The texture for round shields are the same as the ones I've posted with "shield hook" post, but icons atlas is updated with heavy shield icon)

Below comes scripts for your convenience.

EDIT 15.10
Throwing hammer added. Note that you will need to upload Custom Icon Atlas anew and replace old one to use it with throwing hammer. The new icon atlas also include lanterns made by Majd and posted on forum some time ago.
EDIT 20.10
Two more LoL inspired gobelins and Ranger Shield added. Note that you will need to upload Custom Icon Atlas anew and replace old one to use it with Ranger's Shield. Also note that all files for previous gobelins (crimson and green) were renamed. A word "dugeon" was delated from all names, so for example now there is "gobelin_green_torn_dif.dds" instead "dungeon_gobelin_green_torn_dif.dds". Scripts were amended to reflect those new files.

[Neikun]

Very nice very nice.
I like the introduction of colour to the gobelins!

[Batty]

NIce Work! Really like the gobelins.

[Grimwold]

These look really cool in the screenshots.. but I'm having trouble working out how to add them to a dungeon.

I downloaded the 7 DDS files from your link above, and I copied the definitions for materials and items from the alcove thread but I don't think I've put it together properly because the editor complains about missing models when I try to load the dungeon. Anything you can think I might have missed or might be doing wrong?

I forgot about models and, also I forgot about torn gobelins textures. And I promise not to post anything after 2 a.m. never again

Anyway, I've uploaded them now so you may want to download all files again. There should be 9 dds and 7 models. Hope it will be ok now.
I'm adding scripts to first post for your convenience as well.

OK, everything works and they look awesome. Thanks for creating and sharing these.

[crisman]

You are really good in texturing!

I'm glad to hear that.

Texturing is easy. I wish I were good at scripting

I'm equally mediocre at both. : D

Since my childhood days spent in local arcade playing D&D Tower of Doom I have a soft spot for Throwing Hammers.
So here they are (files added to the link in the first post. The scripts are also to be found there). Since I was unable to make new model I tried to do my best with texture and icon.

Yea, I've made javelins too, but they are not sexy enough to share them
