How to add proper skill to sword.

I took one of the Mondain's Legacy elf-swords off of Inside UO, and added a DFN entry as a "Lightsword"
The sword works, all stats appear proper, but my Master Swordsman, (swords 96, fencing 47, macefighting 9.6, tactics 99) rarely EVER scores a hit (tested against simple orcs). It hit once with a "thud" sound. (is it using the mace skill?)
How does UOx3 know which skill-set to place the weapon under?
Here is my sample DFN entry:
Code: Select all
[lightsword]
{
facing West
get=base_item
name=Lightsword
id=0x2d2f
weight=550
value=58,29
layer=1
lodamage=20
hidamage=25
hp=75
spd=32
str=50
restock=10
decay=1
}

Hardcoded. The newest weapons probably haven't been added to the lists which defines hex-ids as SWORDS, MACES, POLEARMS etc in the code yet, so whenever you equip one of them you'll actually be using the wrestling skill.

Yeah, we haven't come up with a truly memory-efficient way of classifying weapon types via scripts yet.
Especially since items can be made without calling the scripts, that tag would have to exist in harditems.dfn as well as items.dfn, and require a harditems entry for every single weapon type.

I've updated the source with the newest weapon-classifications locally, but can't seem to access the cvs to commit the change. Will do so as soon as possible.

The Mondain's Legacy blade 0x2d2f
Is set on 3.6e as a "fencing weapon"
For my custom item using that animation, I'd prefer the Swordsmanship skill.
Is there a way to change this?
I looked in harditems.dfn and it seems to only contain blood splots and "doors" But no weapon section.

Only possible by changing the hardcoded definition of that sword from fencing to swordsmanship.
