Archery Mod [DS/SW Version] [discontinued]

For DST Version -> Click Here


Focusing on bringing more ranged weapons to the game

This mod includes at the moment:
* bow with 5 types of arrows
* crossbow with 2 types of bolts
* magic bow with 3 types of projectile
* quiver
* custom attack animations and custom sounds.

For details about the item in this mod, please go to the DST page of this mod (you should find everything in the changelogs).

You won't be able to attack with the bow/crosbow by itself, you will also need arrows/bolts. You can find the new items in the new custom crafting tab called "archery" right under the "war" crafting tab. A Science Machine is required to craft the bow and the regular arrows. Alchemy engine is required for special arrows. But you can anyway override this config and put the tech level you wish for any item separatly.

You need to craft a quiver before beeing able to shoot. The quiver has its own equip slot and won't take the space of the backpack or the armor. It consists of 1 extra inventory slot which accepts only arrows/bolts.
It is compatible with "Extra Equislots" mod and RPG HUD.
To switch the type of ammo you wish to use, just right click on them while you have the quiver equipped. The arrow will go in the quiver widget at the bottom right of the screen and will be set as the current active projectile.

To be able to shoot with the crossbow you need to arm it (by right clicking on it while it's equipped). You need to do that between each shot. The counterpart of it is that it is much more powerful than the bow.
The magic bow doesn't use projectile in the quiver, it has its own. It works like a fuelable item. It currently accept 3 types of fuel : Nightmare Fuel or one of the 2 new items you will find at the bottom of the "Archery" Tab.
Nightmare Fuel -> Shadow Arrows : Inefficient against Shadow Creatures. Player looses sanity when shooting at shadow creatures
Fireflies Ball -> Light Arrows : Powerful against Shadow Creatures. Player gain sanity when shooting at Shadow Creatures and loosing sanity when shooting at passive creatures.
Blue Goop -> Healing Arrows : Deal no damages. Heal the target regardless of its status toward the player (passive, hostile or friendly).

You can configure the mod to your taste :

-> modify the crafting recipes
-> adjust the damages, ranges, durability
-> adjust the probabilities to be able to recover an arrow after a missed or sucessful hit
-> add and configure a "Critical Hit Chance"
-> several projectile specific characteristics

I will work on adding more weapons and add more type of arrows.

If you encounter any bug or have suggestion, please let me know.


*If you use my mod with Backpack and Amulet Extra Equip Slots, everything will work fine but the inventory bar is a bit too small. This is just a small visual bug. I will see what I can do about it.
* The musket reload animation is corrupted right now. No ETA for a fix because I do not have time to remake it from scratch.


Enjoy :-)
