Steam Community :: Recurve Bow - Campaign Addon (Left Handed)

MarioWalrus [author] 8 Jan @ 6:37am

you can hold it in either hand, this is just for compatibility with the setting in the controls menu since that swaps the controller IDs around and I couldn't find a way to tell the difference in scripting at the time!

Fangoat_8 27 Dec, 2024 @ 5:25am

the base mod works for both so why re make this?

NASERGAMES1 18 Jul, 2024 @ 12:20pm

wouldn't this actually be the right handed one tho? haha

MarioWalrus [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 2:09am

Thanks for giving it another go! I'll double check this when I get some time in case it's been broken by something.

沁染·节制 27 Apr, 2024 @ 9:36pm

I don't think that's the reason, because I just resubscribed, enabled it in the settings, and opened a new gear but still can't get the arrow

MarioWalrus [author] 27 Apr, 2024 @ 1:08pm

That will happen if you don't use the left handed weapon mode in the settings too. Switching it on breaks the right-handed version. Hopefully that's the cause of it!

沁染·节制 27 Apr, 2024 @ 3:54am

The left-handed version of the recurve has no way of pulling out arrows, but the right-handed version can, even if it is regenerated using the console. Bing Translate

MarioWalrus [author] 10 Feb, 2024 @ 5:36pm

@Kilroy5150, nah just the left handed one. Make sure the normal one is disabled if you have that too!

Kilroy5150 10 Feb, 2024 @ 10:37am

Do you have to install both to make the "left" one work? I just can't get it to spawn and it's the only one i have that doesn't spawn.

MarioWalrus [author] 1 Jan, 2024 @ 11:57am

hmm, sorry to hear that. Does it despawn when you do certain things or is it kinda random?

Titaniumチタン🩸ᴰᵉᵛ 28 Dec, 2023 @ 2:33pm

it keeps on despawning can you help me fix that

Atlys with a Y 15 Dec, 2023 @ 2:18pm

Would love to see a Compound Bow

MarioWalrus [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 9:44am

not done any mod stuff for Alyx in a while sadly, if I ever have time I'd probably try to make a mod where you can pick-up enemy weapons.

Norzewolf 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:10am

mario great mod do you do any other weapons would love to get some ar 15 or ak 47 action going on

literally a cat 14 Jun, 2022 @ 9:24am

thank you this really helps!

MarioWalrus [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:05am

@decbue14 are you using the right mod version? This one only works when the left handed weapon mode is active. Go through some of the details on the main mod page if you get stuck. Let me know if this helps.

literally a cat 11 Jun, 2022 @ 7:43pm

i cant seem to draw my arrows how do i fix this?

Cerdo 9 May, 2022 @ 10:47am

Bows are held in the hand opposite to your dominant EYE, not hand. Because that eye is where the bowstring goes when aiming.

Jeff Hickens. 20 Feb, 2022 @ 2:38am

Saw this bow in a video, Really cool.

MarioWalrus [author] 14 Feb, 2022 @ 8:28am

Hi @alex g. Start a new chapter after the intro and it should be there, make sure you follow the steps on the original mod page linked in the description. Do let me know if you still can't find it.

Rehabilitated alex g 14 Feb, 2022 @ 3:59am

where do you find the bow in campaign?

Zigimauss-32 27 Jan, 2022 @ 4:00pm

@Don Minu Yes, if you are right handed, you use the bow in the left hand, just like real life.

MarioWalrus [author] 27 Jan, 2022 @ 3:36pm

@Don Minu doesn't matter if you're right or left handed. You should only use this mod if you have the left handed weapon mode selected in the settings. Hope this helps.

Don Minu 27 Jan, 2022 @ 11:02am

so if im right handed i install the left handed mod?

MarioWalrus [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 10:06am

@LEMONKLAEYZ Hi, this was an intentional choice when the mod was created. I was under the assumption that arrows should be knocked on the outside from how other games did it. Recently someone pointed out that they learnt to draw on the inside (above the thumb) irl. If I get some time in the future I might look at adding the option to switch sides.

LEMONKLAEYZ 6 Jan, 2022 @ 7:41pm

I'm using the regular add on, but the arrow is on the left side of the bow. what the hecks going on? Im right handed, so i hold a bow in my left hand and draw with my right. why does the arrow keep going on the left side of the bow?

Most powerful weapon of all

. I stopped updating all other weapons and now I enter battles without hesitation. Many thanks, @MarioWalrus!

Norzewolf 15 Oct, 2021 @ 3:46am

Ahh ok didn't know it was infinite ammo that makes sense then.

MarioWalrus [author] 13 Oct, 2021 @ 12:39pm

@Norzewolf, Thanks! I didn't even consider adding that since there's infinite ammo. It would still make sense if you could though.

Norzewolf 13 Oct, 2021 @ 12:22am

great mod but I cant seem to store the arrows once i pull them out .

York 25 Sep, 2021 @ 12:32pm

i tried both handed modes

MarioWalrus [author] 25 Sep, 2021 @ 12:07pm

You might have the wrong version of the mod if you're using right handed mode.

York 24 Sep, 2021 @ 5:58pm

No matter what hand I hold it with, no matter what button I press, it refuses to draw an arrow.

MarioWalrus [author] 6 Aug, 2021 @ 12:46pm

@Verda Are you using the correct weapon hand in the settings? This version of the mod is for the left-handed weapon mode. For the right-handed one, try the original mod linked in the description.
Let me know if that doesn't work, it's fixed it for others in the past.

Verda 6 Aug, 2021 @ 12:42pm

not sure why but i cant seem to draw an arrow :(

Nickaholic 19 Jun, 2021 @ 2:58pm

Thank you for clarifying that bows are usually held in the other hand to your dominant one, I was confused when looking at the screenshots

MarioWalrus [author] 5 Jun, 2021 @ 4:05pm

Glad you got it working, thanks again.

Jota333 5 Jun, 2021 @ 2:29pm

it works correctly, I did not realize I played the game with the components activated

MarioWalrus [author] 4 Jun, 2021 @ 4:29am

Don't worry about it. Best way to check, start a new game from one of the later chapters. If you don't see the bow then it isn't working. You can also look in the console to see if it's trying to spawn a bow but failing. Thanks for giving it another go.

Jota333 3 Jun, 2021 @ 8:25pm

still not working, disable all mods, get to the part where you grab the shotgun. but I didn't see the arc (sorry if my english is bad, I'm using google translator)

Jota333 3 Jun, 2021 @ 7:29pm

Thanks I try it and tell you if it worked for me.

MarioWalrus [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 7:06pm

@jstrevezza, there are more details on the main page linked in the description. Start after the intro chapter, disable other addons just to be safe. Let me know if you keep having issues with it.

Jota333 3 Jun, 2021 @ 6:44pm

as i use the mod i install it and activate it but i dont see it inside the game ... do i have to deactivate other mod before using the bow?

James Ramirez from MW2 30 Mar, 2021 @ 12:02pm

ok thanks

MarioWalrus [author] 30 Mar, 2021 @ 12:00pm

On the table to the left, there's a picture of it on the main page. If the bow isn't spawning in any of the other chapters either then it isn't installed correctly. Make sure it's enabled in the addon menu first too.

James Ramirez from MW2 30 Mar, 2021 @ 11:57am

but where at the start

MarioWalrus [author] 30 Mar, 2021 @ 11:52am

@warsaw soldier. Check the main addon page above for more info. Can be found after entering the quarantine zone at the start of most levels.

James Ramirez from MW2 30 Mar, 2021 @ 11:48am

where can you find it

MarioWalrus [author] 28 Mar, 2021 @ 3:42am

@Mr. Blue yep, the "respawn_bow" command should work if you enable the console.

Mr. Blue 28 Mar, 2021 @ 2:59am

Is there a way to manually spawn the bow should it fail to show up in a level?
