alright.. here is a crazy guide to making incredibly awesome stuff.
how to make a "throwing sword"
-first, go into your models folder and make a duplicate of the folder just in case you make some mistakes. if you do, just throw out the model files and you can use the duplicate folder.
-now that that is done, heres the trick. make a duplicate of the sword model.
-throw out the knife model (called throwingknife)
-rename the sword duplicate "throwingknife"
--now your knife is a sword, exept it can do knife moves like puncture and trancheonomy... and you can throw it, impaling them! it is so awesome to see the sword sticking out of his back!
more tricks soon, including a brick to smash people around, a 10 foot sword, a new attack move that looks like a barfight punch, and a new move i like to call the spinning elbow of retribution.

alright, the 10 foot sword. do the thing i did with the throwing sword, exept instead of the knife, replace the staff model file. when you play, there should be a big sword instead of a staff. use this with the throwing sword, and you have lugaru, but with 3 styles of swordfighting instead of 3 weapons. throw, slice or smash, that is the question!

soon i will post screenshots of these marvels.

okay, if u want to make a new punch, do what i did with the sword. same idea, but u go into the animations and copy the "wolfslap" file, replace that w/ the "upunch" file, and instead of that pansy u- punch, you got yerself a bunny version of the wolf's mauling punch that we have all grown to hate so much. by the way, it can't be blocked. if u want to try out new moves, just use the format i used to make your own tricks, and if you crank out a cool one, just post how you did it.

(use this guide to make weird things.. files in here are the ones in models folder)
replace staff.solid with...
cool.solid to make a fruit bowl of doom
chimney.solid to make a rather deadly brick
sword.solid to make the 10 foot sword

replace sword.solid with...
staff.solid to create the chaos chopstick
hawk.solid to make the tiny titan
treetrunk.solid to make the.. tree trunk.

Roflmao!

Awesome I will have to post a "Making of Lugaru" thread sometime to explain why that space marine guy is there.

That's odd. I replaced the Sword model with both a Rabbit model and Wolf model, but instead of giving me a slave to beat people to death with it gave me a reeeeeally tiny rabbit/wolf, like the size of a knife.

How do you couple a solid with a texture?

Me thinks you just give em the same name (before the .solid or w/e).
