Fable24Man asked me to make this (even though when I told him how to I thought it was easy enough), so watch and learn. Also note that this video tutorial is for 3Ds Max users only.

http://rapidshare.com/files/55252723/Making_Weapon_Hierarchy __The_Easy_Way.avi.html

You will need the XviD and DivX plugins you play this video.

Youtube: Here. Set it to 720p for better detail.
Rapidshare: Here.

For those who don't understand the video, perhaps this will help. It's a text document I made based off a conversation I had with Ailia on IRC.

weapons are easy as hell

first get something you want to use as a weapon mesh

make simple...tube

export an existing fable weapon from FE

import that into your current document

rotate/move/scale your mesh to where the imported weapon is

pull up the parenting tree for the document and see what the imported mesh is parented to
parent your mesh to the same thing and then delete the fable weapon mesh

anyways on 3ds max 7 the button is up at the top of the screen

see a highlighted cursor and another cursor next to it with a bunch of lines?

click the one with lines

check the box display subtree

then figure out which item on that list is the old weapon mesh

find your mesh and parent it to MESH_KARANA_BRASS_01 (that's just an example)

to do that

select your mesh

click the link tool, should be to the left of where you opened this menu, looks like 2 windows connected by a chain

then click this menu again and select the mesh_katana

export it and import into FE + enjoy beating people with a tube

it probably will throw a fit about an untextured mesh but meh

And that, paired with a video, should teach you everything you need to know about getting a weapon to work in Fable, information on for to make new entry's can be found with a search or two (Blue, perhaps you should make the button bigger so newer people know it's there).

3ds might work, I suggest .obj

somebody might port it, but whether somebody will texture it is another story, I'm busy right now though.

1. Export the mesh for Iron Greatsword

2. Export your mesh from Blender to wavefront (obj)

3. Import both into 3ds Max

4. Click on the little display list button

5. Click "Display Subtree"

6. Rotate and Scale your mesh to fit the Iron Greatsword (don't stretch, just make sure it is in the same spot and the sizes are relative to the sword)

5. Go to the list and select material-_55 and Greatsword2h

6. Press the delete key located on your keyboard above the left arrow on a standard keyboard.

7. Move the different helpers to appropriate spots:

HDMY_AUG_01: Bottom of Blade
HDMY_AUG_02: Top of Blade
HPNT_weapon_pos_a: Top of Blade
HPNT_weapon_pos_b: Bottom of Blade
HDMY_WEAPON_FOCUS_01: Where the handle is held.

8. Go to the list and click on Mesh and Mesh_001

9. Click on the linking button (looks like two windows with a chain between them, found in top-left corner)

10. Click on the list button and click MESH_SWORD_GREAT_BRASS or something like that.

11. Click "Link"

12. Click the cursor button.

13. Either texture map or export. (for texture mapping see this and this and maybe even this)


14. When you export, use Panda Exporter, with normal optimization, uncheck inline, uncheck "include animation", uncheck flip normals.

15. Import into FE, give it a material.


Well there you go, a "step by step" tutorial, including almost every step.

I don't know why that happens, I've only seen it happen with longswords. If you REALLY want a mesh, check out a new tool in the unity section. I tested it with Fable, it works (kind of for me) and (ironically) I had a longsword on at the time, proving you can get the longsword mesh (and the meshes of other items) threw that.
