And be more specific why you have that as well to make it easier for modders to help.
B/C you misplaced the .dds file in the materials folder. It wouldn't color black it will be dull gray and the model lining won't be there.
That's why you have a the black color than the original model.
Data>Material folder> place .dds file [EX: Dread1, Dread2, Dreadweaver Bow, Ebony Scimitar.]
Data>Material folder>_define>material>test Place XML files [EX: Dread1, Dread2, Dreadweaver Bow, Ebony Scimitar.]
Data>gfx>char>human>tool place weapon .PMG and re-edit the name if you have to. [EX: Dread1, Dread2, Dreadweaver Bow, Ebony Scimitar.Pmg > weapon_weaponname.pmg]
That's my freebie answer. (working on a effect mod to make it Touhou-ish)
