did you can take recurve bow to replace awp or other gun ?
sinwithagrin 16 Jun, 2024 @ 12:17pm 
it definitely takes some getting used to but damn is it satisfying

Would love if a version of this was released where it replaces main weapon -- if possible. It's suuuuper fun!
Oriféz Boss 23 Apr, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
I understood. Thanks for clearing my doubt
Rectus  [author] 23 Apr, 2024 @ 10:48am 
It's possible, but hard to do well. You wouldn't have access to all the features the regular weapons have, like reloading and ammo count.
Oriféz Boss 21 Apr, 2024 @ 12:00am 
Hello goodnight. Recently I was trying to make a customized weapon like the ones you create, but the attempts failed, could you tell me if it is possible to create a really new pistol without it being a skin? It's a doubt that I have, because I don't see people trying to do this
Rectus  [author] 31 Jan, 2024 @ 6:20am 
It could be other mods as well. Something is preventing the script from running properly.

I've turned off all crashing add-ons. But still.
Rectus  [author] 31 Jan, 2024 @ 12:11am 
Try disabling other script mods.

A www. .. now I am sad
Rectus  [author] 26 Sep, 2023 @ 8:40am 
Hard to say, many different kinds of mods can interfere.
Terror of Dimensions 26 Sep, 2023 @ 8:32am 
I have other weapon skin mods active. You think those are what's conflicting with it?
Rectus  [author] 26 Sep, 2023 @ 1:15am 
Try disabling any other mods.
Terror of Dimensions 25 Sep, 2023 @ 11:32pm 
It just becomes an error sign for me.
tools guy-kun 13 Jun, 2023 @ 10:55am 
I feel like this would be a perfect skin over the hunting rifle. alas, my searching has not bear any fruit, which makes me believe no such mod exists. regardless, this is a fine piece of work.

It could be better if this bow could replace some melee weapon
Bcs i dont use some melee but i wanna play with this on custom maps :(
VERY good work btw
Rectus  [author] 18 Oct, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
Of course, go ahead. As long as they credit me, anyone is welcome to include my weapons in their maps. A few campaigns already use some of them.

If you need examples on how to add the scripts in a clean way so that they don't get enabled in other campagins, check out how I did it in Diescraper: https://github.com/Rectus/diescraper_sources
SolexRaeve v3 27 Jul, 2022 @ 8:10am 
all Campalgns weapons?
Rectus  [author] 23 Jul, 2022 @ 11:18pm 
It should work on all official campaigns.
zzombhunter 23 Jul, 2022 @ 9:44pm 
im assuming you can only get this on swamp fever hard rain and the passing
Rectus  [author] 23 Jul, 2022 @ 4:32am 
See the FAQ.
Bikly 23 Jul, 2022 @ 3:09am 
how do u get the bow
Leon The Fox 23 Apr, 2022 @ 1:58pm 
@✠_Isaac_✠: it spawns random for you discover in single player campaign or best servers
Rectus  [author] 13 Jan, 2022 @ 1:06am 
Not sure I understand the question.
✠_Isaac_✠ 13 Sep, 2021 @ 6:02am 
what bow ? give bow ?
Rectus  [author] 2 Sep, 2021 @ 11:59pm 
If you mean the primary slot, then no.
Omeganism 2 Sep, 2021 @ 6:18pm 
can you make this for main hand?
J.D. "Rookie" 2 Aug, 2021 @ 3:00am 
For those of you who are in a sticky situation and out of arrows, fun fact: If you're out of arrows, you can still kill zombies in melee range. Also works if you just tap M1.
Rectus  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 2:16pm 
Yes, you get them back when you walk close to them. You can also replenish them back up to 20 by using an ammo pile.
Joellis 14 Jul, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
False alarm. I tested the bow a bit more and the arrows do disappear when there are only about five arrows left. I guess I didn't notice that. Also when arrows despawn, do you get them back or are they gone forever?
Rectus  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 1:17pm 
Weird, it's supposed to change if you have five or less arrows.
Joellis 14 Jul, 2021 @ 12:52pm 
Oh. Well I noticed that the arrows in my hand don't disappear until I'm completely out of arrows. Thanks anyway.
Rectus  [author] 14 Jul, 2021 @ 12:13am 
There isn't really any good way to add an ammo count. You can see when the ammo count is low by the arrows in your hand disappearing though.
Joellis 13 Jul, 2021 @ 8:42pm 
This mod is great but it's a bit difficult to keep track of your ammo. Can you add an arrow count or make it so that the arrows constantly glow? I just started using the weapon and I learned running out of arrows the hard way.
Rectus  [author] 4 Jul, 2021 @ 11:13pm 
The value is in custom_bow.nut on line 223.
____ 4 Jul, 2021 @ 6:47pm 
How do i increase arrow speed for more longer range?
I know is from custom_bow.nut or prop_arrow.nut but i don't know which one should i modify
Rectus  [author] 2 Feb, 2021 @ 11:39pm 
Holding the bow drawn would be tricky to get working, and I'm not sure if it is currently possible. Everything else you mentioned is already in there.
FloatedTerror32 2 Feb, 2021 @ 5:42pm 
recurve bow is lackluster maybe add the ability to i dont know hold the bow down and actual ammo reserve maybe model an actual projectile and a sounds:demoticon:
FRENZY 17 Sep, 2020 @ 11:32am 
i cant find it...
German Empireball 21 Aug, 2020 @ 1:05pm 
Now That's Cool, It Has Its Own Ammo, Cool!
Blake 23 Jun, 2020 @ 8:23pm 
Managed to fix it! Thank you so much for the addon!
Blake 23 Jun, 2020 @ 7:54pm 
Hi! I don't know if you remember me, I am the guy that asked for the console command... And I came back to L4D2, and I can't find the bow anywhere! Does it spawn by default? Or Do I have to put the console command to use it?
Cass 10 Feb, 2020 @ 6:49am 
i will try, thank for helping :D
Rectus  [author] 10 Feb, 2020 @ 6:04am 
That is probably more due to the arrows not despawning fast enough if you fire a lot of them without picking old ones back up. Currently they will only despawn 150 seconds after they stop moving.

If you want to fix it, the easiest way would probably be to lower the despawn time.You can do it by modifying the prop_arrow.nut script and setting the number on line 267 to a lower value.

If the arrows keep moving around and don't despawn, you would need to add some other method of despawning them instead.
Cass 10 Feb, 2020 @ 5:48am 
Yes, if "n" = 500-1000. My server become lagging :(
Can you help me rewrite scripts. Please :D
Rectus  [author] 10 Feb, 2020 @ 5:34am 
Does that cause any problems?

The only way of fixing it would be to rewrtiting the scripts to either reuse the arrow entities or not run scripts on the arrows themselves.
Cass 10 Feb, 2020 @ 5:25am 
my console spam :
_"n"_arrow executing script: prop_arrow.... more more
can u help me to block it ?
