The Combat Overhaul: Old Version

The reimagined version of the mod is now available for all of us!

Right here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609004497&searchtext=combat+overhaul

As of what's to expect: polished mechanics, mob changes, removed weapons and unnecessary gimmicks, and plenty more. Be careful though. This mod is not compatible with that version. Transitioning between mods might also cause pre-existing weapons to be deleted (my modded weapons).

Outdated as in there are some pretty unbalanced, unnecessary, and difficult weapons within this version. The remastered version will fix these issues, removing and polishing features to become more simple but effective. Other issues this version contains have been fixed with the remastered version. Regardless, criticism is the best thing you can give to help (not demand, there's a difference).

Many weapons now have new tricks up their handles. From new fighting techniques to refined visuals and sounds, the things you use to bash, slash, or whack with are now distinct from one another. Some familiar and new weapons also join your arsenal, but the playstyle is all up to you.

To keep track of what's new and what's coming to the remastered version, check out the comments and the "Upcoming Remastered Features" section.

Shogun Showstopper's Sounds: <domyslyn>'s "WAR! Update" mod

The re-upload will have the sounds packed into a custom file, so it won't need to credit <domyslyn> anymore.

Charlie's Voice: "Charlie: Strange New Powers", played by a harp.

Charlie is not present in the reimagined version. She was an experimental asset, but she serves no other purpose.

Other Sound Effects: Don't Starve: Hamlet

The Foundation
The mod was originally an experiment to see how the Steam Workshop would work. As things progressed, more and more features were thrown in to see what happened. It turned out that caused everything to become very unbalanced. Now that I have access to all of DST's mod tools, I will re-shape the mod to become something other than a sandbox.
