It's impossible to do anything more than change the skin on the sword (although Levbot came up with a sort of partially successful method):

1. rename all sword textures (lightblood, blood, and normal) from thier old thing to .png (you can just retype it)
(((now at this point, the game can't read the swords. so it freaks out, and uses the lightbloodknife.png file as the sword.)))
2.if you notice, the sword has holes in it. that is because it is the editable lightblood knife.
3.Edit the lightbloodknife into whatever you want!
FLAWS-
-there is no bloody versions of the sword.
-when you knife gets semi-bloody, it will turn into the sword texture, of course.
PM me w/ questions!
The difference between the knife and the sword?

This is cool because it allows you to do two things. You can replace the knife with another shape completely (like a chainsaw, or a shiv, or a lightsaber style knife) as long as it fits within the confines of the outline of the knife shape. Or, you can make a semi-transparent or translucent knife, like glass or quartz (or a lightsaber blade). It has one odd transparency flaw (shows up as a darker section, clearly different from the rest) but it isn't that noticeable.
Unfortunately, it has no third dimension like the original knife; it looks like a flat image on a two dimensional plane. When seen on edge, it can almost disappear, while the knife has thickness.
All you can do with the sword is make it look like a different material: stone, bone, wood, copper, etc. Same with the staff, and the staff has an odd “wrapping” feature that seems to distort the skin you put on it. You can accommodate that, but it requires more tweaking if you’re trying to get a staff in a really unique material.
I’ve made weapons in all these materials, and most of them look pretty cool.
