It's my first try and it's made pixel by pixel. Took my about 30 minutes. So, just wondering what you think?
Basically, it's a pipe made of bamboo that fires shards made from bamboo. If any one has dificulty with adding it to game just ask.

Stranded II requires an actual 3D model of your item to display it on the 3D world. The 2D icon is usually created by rendering the 3D model.
To create a simple unanimated model for an item, software like Wings 3D should be enough. (though in Wings it is rather complicated to add textures to a model)
Save the image as 'blowpipe'. Put it in the first gfx folder.
Open items_weapons (in the mods-sys)
Go to the bottom and add this in to it:

### Blow Pipe
id=121
name=Blow Pipe
group=weapon
icon=gfx\blowpipe.bmp
model=gfx\bambooitem.b3d
scale=0.25
behaviour=slingshot
speed=25
drag=1.8
rate=500
mat=wood
weight=200
info=A simple tribesmans blow pipe, light, but not very powerful.
damage=1
healthchange=0
script=start
on:noammo {
speech "negative";
msg "No ammo!",3;
}
script=end
Then go up to the item 'bolt'.
Add this after the word behavior:
,ammo:123
So it looks like "behaviour=ammo:64,ammo:123"
If you like I could post the editied files instead...
Sorry if this post is difficult, I'm tired, I'm angry and I'm drunk (ish).
P.S. If you find this tutorial to complicated ask a question, if you find it too easy it's because I wanted to make it suitable for everyone.
I think I'll make one now.
@24lenox- Thanks for the compliments, hope you get it to work.
@MrCowThing- Thanks as well.
IF I can be bothered tomorrow I will make a 3D render of the pipe. I will then compile it and make it a 'mini mod' type thing.
It's actually part of a larger mod (private) I'm working on, but if you like my work tomorrow I may release my mod to the public.
Bye for now, watching TV for a while then I'll be back on:P
I think the scaled down bambooitem works ok as a 3D model. I figure there won't be a model release. 
Sorry for the double post.

Also I'm working on models, I'm also going to make dart models, regular and poison.
Flying Lizard has written
nope, there's no diference between using spaces and tabs, in S2 pressing tab produces 3 spaces
Really? I kept getting errors until I changed it. Maybe it was something else
Both support importing and exporting b3d models.
I finished modeling and coding the blow pipe, dart, and poison dart. I'm just doing some final testing now.
LOL
Thanks for the tip on the code.
I was also was working on some ammo ( wool covered, regular, poison and pebble tipped), but mine were 4 small bolts, all exactly the same except the stats and the 2D pictures. I hate that I can't 3D model

Sorry for the messy post, I just woke up.
I'll put it all together now.

:p I'll test them now and tell you what I think.
Edit: Very nice, I liked the poison dart. Also the blow pipe proportions are spot on, great job. Have another cookie
I was also rather touched by the read me- it's a really considerate thing to do!;)P.S. If any one doesn't want to cheat here are the codes for making the combos:
