Okay. First of all: pardon my english. Second: it is not really a problem with my pc, but Dark Messiah game posts are in archives already so i don`t really know where i should post this. It is only one small, innocent question, so please do not beat me half to death for it.
During modding game- changing weapon damage, npc health etc. in mm_models_pub I found file named Sareth_sword. According to it`s in-game description it`s Sareth longsword(at least in my language). Nothing much really, plain old longsword, but i never encouter it during singleplayer game, and this is unique weapon, in name at least
So it is either something unused in game, or i am simply missing something, or i did not understand something. Any help would be nice. Even how to spawn it with console

sounds like a mod of some kind.
My version of Dark Messiah does not have the ../mm/model/pub folder. And all my modded weapons were installed in a newly created ../mm/model/items folder.
If it is not a mod, then sadly, the US version will be of no help to you. :\
for the weapon, maybe type via console:
give weapon_mm_sareth_sword
or
give sareth_sword
What version is yours? US CD? International CD? Steam? D2D?

I assuemd that everyone knows about GCFScape. And like an idiot, i forgot, that my version of DM is from games magazine, international version i suppose- i don`t have game in steam folder, only in Ubisoft, in program files, but that only matters if you look for game folder. Rest is prety much the same
But i am an idiot, because i found sword in mm_models_pub- that is not folder(i did called it folder? sorry), only(i dunno, i am computer moron), file, containing every item in game, also animations for weapons, an npcs- for example i did a little simple adjusting, so black guards and vampire knights are more difficult, but ghuls have less health. Part of engine or something?
I don`t remember if it was showing from the begining, but now i use GCFScape, so i can extract things i need, and i think files i am talking about were hidden or something
Anyways in my computer you go to DM main folder/then mm/ and it is there: mm_models_pub
As for the sword, i try yours suggestion with cheats, but if i remember, i did that. Thats is one of the problems- i don`t know where to find spawning list, all cheat web pages do not include sword i look for, so i assumed, that there is some kind of list of spawn names hidden in files, but i cannot find it
And it is a shame, because this little guy have 6 points of damage, by default. 2 times better than regular longsword :)

yah, the cheat i listed did not have the "sareth sword" on the list..i just wanted to see if it would work.... hmm...
Sorry, the assumption was mine...I had been modding the game, and noticed it had similar naming to the folder structure, didn't realize you were poking around a packed database.
Weapons tend to be QCT files...
If the Sareth Sword in the database can be extracted out as a QCT, only two ways I can think this might work:
- Extract it and place it in the proper folders mentioned above: "/mm/models/items/weapons" or maybe "/mm/models/pub"; then try to spawn it via the cheats in game.
OR, if that doesn't work...
- Take the extracted file and rename it to one of the other weapons: for example "sword_silver.qct"; then spawn that weapon in game to see what happens using "Give weapon_mm_sword_silver" which IS on the list of items.
Granted, I am by no means an expert..I just like puzzles. :P

I don`t mean to look like a complete zero... bu it didin`t work. Don`t know how to explain... For example if i want short sword i type give weapon_arx_short_sword, even though in folder i is called sword_short :/ so where the fuss is list(file, or wathever) that says _arx_short_sword??? Please use language, and explanation for primitive :) life forms, like you did before. As i say im pretty dumb in every area thats contains buzzing, flashing light, electric things(if some do something that shouldn`t i run around screaming "broken magic, broken magic"). So please, during explenation, do thing like that: you go to... do this and... then it will do something like that... and voila.
Or something :D
