Is there a way to make it so that each individual weapon has its OWN visual graphic, rather then one for all weapons. Example, I have a wooden sword equipped, but it shows the default short sword icon in battle when attacking.

I've tried looking for a plugin, but no luck. Thanks in advance.

If you look in img/system folder, you'll find three graphics, "weapon1", etc.
You can edit these to replace the weapon types you're not using in your game with more variations of the weapons you are.

Then in your database, create a "wooden sword" weapon *type*
Assign it the side view image for "whip", or whatever you replaced (and make sure the motion is correct: swing is usual for swords)
And make sure every class / actor that uses swords has both the "wooden sword" and "sword" equippable.
Set your wooden sword weapon to be the wooden sword type.

Repeat for each unique image - you get 32 types out of the box, which should be enough for most games. You'd need a plugin to go beyond that.

Awesome, thanks!
