Tweaked Kitsune's Crossbow Mod [OUTDATED]

Sup everyone and welcome to my very first contribution to the PZ workshop!

As the title says, this a TWEAK from the original Kitsune's Crossbow Mod!

I'm glad you asked, kid.
So here's a full list of what has been tweaked and some features I've decided to add just for fun.

NEW FEATURES

• Bolts have a chance of breaking upon hitting a zed
  
• dismantling hunting bows is a thing. They give up to 6 scrap metal
  
• dismantling a hand crossbow now gives up to 3 scrap metal and nothing else instead of Aluminium and metal bars
  
• Zeds now walk around with hunting crossbows on their back after 2 weeks of surviving.
  
• 3 magazines for unlocking crossbow related recipes.
  
• 2 Skill books for getting to level 2 on both aiming and reloading skills faster.
  (you're most likely to find these mags and books on magazine shelves and book shelves.)
  
• Ditched the old crossbow bolt recipes to add brand new ones.
  Said recipes contain the following new items:
  - Bolt Fletching (the far back side of a bolt)
  - Bolt Long Shaft (The "stick" part of a bolt)
  - Bolt Short Shaft (The same as above)
  - Bolt head (That sharp and pointy thing at the far end of the stick)
  
• FLAX IS NO MORE! WHOO HOO! ... *cough* Instead, you can now scavange for scrap metal. But to nerf it a bit, you can only find scrap metal at level 6 of foraging and only 1-2 scrap metal per forage zone.
  
• Custom tab for all of the crossbow realted stuff. (Unpacking bolts and all of that stuff doesn't counts... but if people start complaining I may add them as well to the tab)

TWEAKS

• Crafting short and long bolts now can use a blowtorch as an alternative for glue. (Thanks 2BitePie!)
  
• Realistic crafting and dismantling time
  
• Realistic spawnrate and spawn locations for crossbows and bolts. (Thanks djvirus for the idea)
  
• Bolt crafting now requires scrap metal and nothing else.
  
• Bolt crafting now uses all kinds of hammers! (Now you can craft bolts with your old and trusty stone hammer, you're welcome.)
  
• Wooden crossbow recipe now uses ROPE instead of flax.
  
• Better positioning for some of the original icons that were kind of non-centered.

• The complete collection of weapon-related skillbooks
  
• Super survivors compatibility ( I'll try, I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull that off. )
  
• Hunter outfitted Zed? (Not 100% confirmed but it's been on my mind for a while)
  
• Zeds carrying crossbows and bolts inside sports bag
  
• Further tweaks for spawnrates and spawnlocations

• Items from this mod and kitsune's original mod wont spawn while using "Superb Survivors" - I just found a workaround for this. You just have to go to the super survivors mod folder and delete all of the maps. (Woodbury, hilltop, all of them).
  
• Bolts seems to dissapear randomly when I search a zed's dead body! - yeah well, that's seems to be an issue from the original mod. I'll remove that feature once the next update is ready and when a fix comes out I'll re-enable said feature.

HUGE THANKS TO THIS KITSUNE GUY AND WHOEVER CONTRIBUTED TO HIS MOD. Without any of you, this tweak wouldn't be possible.
Thank you for the amazing modeling, texturing, icons and gun scripting. The whole mod is a blast and certainly adds a new layer of fun to the core survival experience!

So yeah, thanks Kitsune for the ORIGINAL MOD (Click here for the ORIGINAL MOD)
as for the rest of the tweaks and new features, well, that's me.

- THIS MOD IS EXCLUSIVE FOR BUILD 41. if you're having issues with this mod on build 40 and below, then I'm sorry but you're on your own.
- YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THE ORIGINAL MOD FOR THIS ONE TO WORK. Just sub to this mod and you're good to go!.
- DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL MOD AND THIS TWEAKED MOD AT THE SAME TIME. if you do, you'll face some issues.
- I DO NOT own any of the 3D models, neither the textures and icons from the original mod.
- I DO NOT KNOW how to tweak the guns neither I'm planning to touch all of that scripting mess.

- And one last thing!
If you have any suggestion or further tweak/balance you'd like to see, leave it on the discussion section and I may give it a thought or two ;)

and no, I'm not gonna add more crossbows or anything related to weapons since I don't know 3D modeling neither gun scripting. Go ask Kitsune for that.
