Spears Forever

Description
Increases spears durability by an insane amount.

Max condition is left untouched. I simply highly decreased the break chance.

The default preserve chance for the crafted spear is only 2. I increased it to a whopping 50 (60 for Machete and Hunting knife spears).

For comparaison, the crowbar preserve chance is 70 (but it also has 3 time higher max condition).

Yes. This is cheating.
Why do i think it's not that bad : spears are very easy to craft and you get a few just by dismantling a piece of furniture. It's one of the only weapon that is not finite on the map, you can never run out of it. The counterpart is that it breaks really easily and you need to keep crafting them all the time. But if you like to play with spears a lot, you noticed that crafting the spears by itself isn't a challenge anymore, it's just getting an annoyance. By cheating the durability, we can finally breath.
Yes, this is more than just a quality of life. The downside of playing with spears is that it takes a lot of inventory space, for the replacement spears, but also for hammer + saw + knifes requiered to craft them.
Yes, it makes the game much easier.
No, there's no shame if you want to play like that :3

"Yes, this is cheating," I am sold.

Not tested in b42, but the mod is very basic, it's just editing xml configs if i remember correctly.
So, unless these config files drastically changed, i think it would still work.
You can try and let us know here if it's not working.

But I think the entire server has to do it too, so, I don't know if you wanna do it or not

@Snake

You can Modify Realistic Durability files, and delete the Spear one, so it makes it compatible.

I put in a Tutorial on the "Realistic Durability B41" Page, go check it out

(It's on the "Make the Mod Compatible with B41 Firearms" Thread)

i like how they say this mod is cheating but when they whip out there suppressed m16 it isn't cheating huh

i don't think it will have any effect on other weapons durabilities, but i can't tell if the spears durability will take priority on this mod or the other, maybe it depends in which order they are loaded ?
Also, i never tested it on multiplayer, so i don't even know if it works properly there.

Maybe you can do some testing before adding it on your server ? And share your results here ? :p

hi, is it compatible with realistic durabilities B41 ?

i want to add it to our server, but i don't know if it would overide the durability for other weapons aswell, any idea ?

thanks :)
