Changes look good!
Good job on fixing them maps, only one minor thing left about them - 'blank' or non-specified alpha is 255.255.255 RGB, you used 240.240.240 which is used for the most opaque glass.
I see you trimmed the length, glad you were able to keep the blade shape within smaller dimensions :) However your model is still 7 by 11 by 35 (with 9 by 9 by 35 allowed), those two most sharp bottom and top ends of the blade sadly need to go, and some bits from the bottom of the grip too (circled in orange).
Red rectangle indicates where character hand/arm would be located, more or less. Boomranger has big hands and quite some costumes have extra details on hands too so its usually best to keep 2 voxels free on each side of AP. On your screenshot you can see that top bit of brass grip poking through Knights shoulder, may be it would be possible to position it some other way so they dont clip?
Back to active for minor fixes, hoping to see it back on review soon!

the purple thing in the blade is void, for the evil entities in permafrost, i'll update that! :3c
Hello again! Good to see you keep creating outside of the challenge :)
Sword has a very nice idea behind it, i like the overall shape and colors! Brass grip and handle turned out extraordinary well. Although i cant really place the purple on it, whats that meant to be?
About the technical side, weapons have quite some restrictions because of the way they are used in game. Every design has to fit within bounding box around the Attachment point, else there is a very good chance it will clip through/look weird on classes during animations.
At the moment your sword is a bit too long and too 'tall' (on Y dimension). I would need to ask you to make sure it fits in required 9x9x35.
Another thing, Material maps. They can not overlap, meaning one voxel can not be both Glowing on Type map and Metal on Specular. Alpha map is only used for voxels that are mapped glass/glowing glass/tiled glass on Type map. Image below has the current Material maps on the left side and mapping that would work (not necessarily best one from design point of view though) on the right side.
Attachment point has to be present on all maps in the same location, else game wouldnt know where to apply mapping to. On your Troxel link the Specular map has no AP.
With that said, Troxel has a very easy way to check if your design has any technical issues. Look for Lint and Export button when model is opened. Chose the type of your style and click on it, that will highlight any mistakes and show tips to fix them, if there are any.
Going to set this one to Active for a few. Set it back to Review if you upload updated model :)
