wish this could be remade with scalable init, would like to use this in mod maps as well.

does the crowbar work with the no vr mod?

this mod is NOT broken its just really bad, if you spawn the corwbar your hand dissapears and gets replaced by a crowbar thats imovable, however if you just wait a second your hand jumps back at you with a second crowbar, pressing the spawn button again will dissapear both, you can kill enemies with it but its range is completly messed up, it one shots everything and has a range of at least 4 meters??????

Addon not working

addon is broken. No hands, 0 fps crowbar

1 issue with the crowbar i have idk if cos i have 2 mods at the same time but its usp mod and everytime i use crobar it removes my upgrades

this addon sucks don't download it

it's literally abandoned

actually, that just makes the game better

I just encountered a bug. When I now try to equip the crowbar, and return to my guns, the meapon mods and ammo are reseted. Mind fixing it?

i have the same problems as c4 guy and the mod also messed up my game

bro it appeared when i was fighting the lightning dogs and i had a gun equipped and the crowbar wouldn't go away and i had to restart my whole game. and im not tryna restart all my progress on chapter 7 all because this wont work

Please make a machete mod

I have a major problem, that renders the mod practically useless:
When I activate the crowbar, it appears stuck in the air and my hand is gone. Only when I move, my hand eventually reappears with a "new" crowbar in it in some weird position. To be able to use this crowbar I have to let it go and pick it back up again, requiring me to keep the button pressed. The other crowbar remains stuck in the air until I deactivate it again.
Apart from that, the fact that you can't use the crowbar in your off-hand together with your main weapon is a real bummer. I also don't really like the handling and feel. I often missed swings that should've hit and I also hit with things that shouldn't have.
One more thing I noticed: You can one-shot the armored headcrabs even if you hit their shell. That makes things way too easy.

after i equip it then unequip, the attachments get reset (auto ammo loader on shotgun with 3 or 0 shells, no grenade in launcher, etc) and removes the reflex sight on the pistol

Fix your crobar it removes the entire ammo pack

i noticed, every time you reequip the crowbar, it dumps the mag of the pistol completely.

OWB

Making a half life 2 collection rn for the game, thanks!

dont use this mod it can break your game

is there a command to disable the crowbar or rebing it to another button im half way through my gnome play through and it's completely broken i cant reload or arm a grenade without it activating the crowbar and loosing my weapon upgrades and having both a crowbar and gun in my hand breaking the game.

great mod but it has one fatal flaw, it removes ALL the upgrades you get from abilities to weapons among other things. Essentially reducing your progress to zero. Can this be fixed? PLZ

An update was pushed to the "Beta/Unstable/Playtest" branch of the mod, fixing the issue where Reflex Sight upgrade would not get returned to the player after using the Crowbar.

If you're encountering any issues, try playing on the unstable branch instead here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2751919313

2) The Crowbar requires you to physically swing with your hand in order to do damage, to create more immersive feeling.
I generally recommend to swing with your entire arm, as I've seen people turn only their wrist around when using the weapon, which can feel weirder and might not be as effective, just like in real life.

3) I've heard this reported a few times that when using the upgrade station, the changes to the weapons are sometimes not saved. In order to combat this 100% of the time, simply disable the Crowbar before using an upgrade station and enable it only after you've taken the upgraded gun.

@Yukimare

Hey, thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it.
If you plan on posting longer feedback, please use the Discussion page above, as it has larger character limit.

1) Now that you mention this, It is possible that there might be problems with the first time acquiring of the pistol, as that part of the game doesn't expect you to have weapons yet and if you leave crowbar enabled before you pick the gun, it might not save it properly. But ultimately that shouldn't really matter, as you'll receive the pistol in the parts of the game where you need it.

Things I've noticed so far...

1.) Upon getting the pistol, as soon as you unequip it, it becomes unavailable, even after spamming the crowbar equip/unequip action. This only fixed upon reaching the part where you acquire the Multitool.

2.) The crowbar's ability to do damage seems unreliable and sometimes does no damage while other times it just annihilates. I have reason to believe it has something to do with how the crowbar seems to slow down your hand with swung.

3.) The upgrades seem effectively disabled with this mod on. I say this because I got the Reflex Sight upgrade for my pistol and as soon as I equipped the crowbar, the pistol lost the reflex sight.

Pros: Crowbar
Cons: No shotgun / SMG
aint nobody got time for that

im so sorry i did not know it was you that send the reqwest.

@Coney_911

Hey,

to activate the Crowbar, press the "Arm Grenade" / "Activate Healthpen" button on your dominant hand while not holding any guns.

@BruceWillis235

Hey, I'd gladly see it be used in custom maps. Feel free to contact me.

@Commercialjoe

Hey!

If you want to enable and use the console, there's a handy guide here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2072582215

As for the issue itself - I'd still like to know if pressing the "Crowbar Activation Button" automatically picks up the Crowbar, but doesn't disable/enable it anymore. If that's the case, you can use the command "ent_fire @Activate_Crowbar enable", now that you know how to use the console, and see if it works.

If this is not the case and you can still disable/enable the Crowbar freely, it might be possible all is still working correctly - simply equip and unequip the Crowbar and then try to open the weapon menu(at least twice). That should probably do it, because loading saves is supported and should work correctly and dying itself cannot affect previous saves (unless a rare problem that is solved with the second paragraph occured)

how do i spawn it in?

hey am i allowed use this in a map?

@Commercialjoe

Hey, can you describe the issue further?

How can't you access other guns - does pressing the button not do anything? Have you tried disabling/activating the Crowbar and then trying to equip the guns?
Or does pressing the button make you take the Crowbar into your hand, but it no longer disables/activates it - if that's the case, try using the command "ent_fire @Activate_Crowbar enable".
As a general rule of thumb, I'd recommend to make manual saves rather than to rely on the autosaves in the campaign too.
Also for longer feedback, it'd be preferable to use the Feedback discussion post linked on this Workshop page.

Hey!

Yes, that's how the Crowbar functions - it's just like with the other guns, if you have it active, you can't have other weapons out at the same time. To use the weapons again, just holster/deactivate the crowbar.

Hey, thanks for bringing it up!

I'd recommend to disable the crowbar before weapons are upgraded and only reequip it after upgraded weapons were picked up; there might be a specific timeframe during which the weapon might not get detected.

Unsure about the limitations of modding for Alyx but would it be possible to somehow apply this damage factor to props the player picks up? Would be interesting to let the player use anything as a weapon with damage based on its model/texture.

Back on topic, when upgrading a weapon with this mod active sometimes the weapon mods just vanish when the crowbar is re-equiped. (They don't come back even after doing it multiple times.)

I'll do more testing in the issue above and see if I can narrow it down.

Hey Anya!

This is a known compatibility issue with other mods that force-enable themselves on all maps, but thank you for providing a way of going around it!

I'm happy you're enjoying the mod, thanks!

If you want to use this mod with other mods you'll have to deal with it being frozen in the air, to unfreeze it you can simply step back and yank it with your gravity gloves.

Had an issue where sometimes I get 2 crowbars spawning instead of 1, but sometimes it's fun to cause double trouble!

I think it is something to do with this being incompatible with the resin locator mod.

@lunatic The one before the underground explosive section with flashlight? It seems to be working for me fine.

yes i cant put the valve in its place on ch3

Hello dear players!

How is the mod after the last update? Have you encountered any issues so far?

alright.

@PepeJKnoutsin

Does it happen every single time?

Make sure you have all other mods disabled(Scalable Init Support included) and try again, as this is behaviour some have encountered when there are compatibility issues with other mods.

I have encountered a second problem. i can spawn it, but i can't grab it, and it just floats there.

Thanks man.

@PepeJKnousin

Let me know if everything is working this time around.

@PepeJKnoutsin Thanks for letting me know. I accidentally uploaded a different mod as this one.

the button wont activate the crowbar for me.

An Update adressing the issue where sometimes weapons weren't given back to the player after unequipping the Crowbar has been released. Hopefully it will solve the issue.

If any other issues occur related to the update(for instance the weapons still disappearing), please let me know as fast as possible so I can fix the problem.
