  • Death’s Thalleous: project 64x64, PNG 128x128
  • Soul Broadsword: project 64x64, PNG 128x128
• Kept texture key 0.
• Kept face reference #0.
• Extracted embedded PNGs directly to the exact item texture paths.
• Kept uploaded display placement values.
• Preserved original .bbmodel source files.
