I could have sworn this mod allowed the cut "empty tin cans" into fletchings. Was this removed from here or something?

please update for nuild 42 ? Would be awsome

this is wicked if your planning future updates and features could you consider adding skill books for bow skill or maybe like a buildable target for practicing archery with a reduced chance of arrows breaking when hitting it? ..
would be good to have the option to focus on learning archery faster from books or vhs tapes for exp and target practice for building the skill in down time / at base

would also help players have things to do mid game or when at base during storms or events

still an awesome mod and i very much appreciate you taking the reins and adding these updates <3

What is the difference between Arrow bundle and "Stone Arrow Bundle" ?

im modder from Fire trail and Wheelbarrow, and love archery, today i create an addon too
as long you have arrow in your inventory, you dont need to reload again (act like quiver)
you can toggle unbreakable bow and unlimited arrow too
Legolas addon

May I use this in my modpack?

Mods que deberían ser vanilla.

@shogun192 A compatible mod actually exists already: Archery Skillbooks

hey it might be a large undertaking not worth it but is there any chance we can get xp multi books for archery? i play with a few mods and i can take a trait for 25% extra to all weapons and then fast learner too but its painfully slow at a point. was hoping we could see some books >.<

It's either a bug or there's something wrong with arrow craft. In Admin menu I can get arrows and they are stronger than arrow shafts but if u craft them as player with all parts adjusted, they are literally same. So unless u get them from admin menu, there's no point to build full arrow.

@R2k this mod doesn't allow you to craft bundles of arrows, only find and unbundle them. It's like you can find boxes of ammo for guns, but can't re-box ammo after taking it out.

@Dr. Hollandaise You need to right-click on one of the arrow parts (heads, shafts or fletchings) in your inventory to get the option to assemble arrows - it doesn't work from the "B" crafting menu.

Hey, can you please explain how to craft arrows? I can make heads, shafts and fletching. Then what?

How to craft bundle of arrows?

@djanico I suggest downloading the mod "Proximity Inventory", it'll let you loot all the arrows at once from surrounding corpses instead of having to click each individual corpse. Works great in tandem with a mod that piles up corpses for you. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847184718

Also @Satuis Aburda any news on when metalworking xp is coming?

Would really like a right click function to "loot all arrows" from corpses. Gets a lil tedious when you have 10+bodies stacked together and you gotta click one by one to loot each arrow.

I think It's about time for an update though, metalworking xp maybe.

hi if there are other items that can make arrow heads, you could try right-clicking on one of those specific items that you wish to get used up. (ive done that before with some specific items that i didnt mind being used up for making duct tape, so that i didnt use the generic Make Fletching recipe for example - i think it was with Credit Cards, so i right-clicked on something else, so that the cards were saved for Zamazon mod trading :)

I went ahead and just removed spoons and forks from the recipe. How would I go about adding Metalworking xp to crafting arrowheads? The arrowheads themselves actually take quite a bit of time to make, which is fine, I make them while I'm resting, but it would be more rewarding if they gave a sliver of Metalworking xp to craft.

I could just edit your mod to remove spoons and forks from the recipes entirely, I understand not everybody roleplays like I do and gives a damn about cutlery lol. Wouldn't want to make it harder for everybody else to enjoy the mod just because I want to keep a set of cutlery around.

that's awesome, and there isn't much a way to do that, I could put spoons/forks/cutlery in a different recipe to make that better.

Cool mod. Would there be any way to prevent favorited items from being used in making iron arrowheads? For example: I keep a mess kit with me containing a spoon and a fork, and I don't want to use my mess kit to make arrowheads with. Favoriting these doesn't prevent them from automatically being used in the recipe.

hello there, :D
Me and 4 guys are making a revamp version of this QOL mod, of the original bow and arrow mod, the kitsune's crossbow and also adding some things of the better belts mod.
I guess you don't mind, but i' figure i'll let you know any way, i'll be taking and expanding your recipes. For ANYTHING you need, my discord is MyNameis_Mati#0612

@KSib destring bow and replace the broken parts.

Is there a way to repair bows?

what is the difference on arrows? I make simple wooden ones and now iron but no visable difference on them

Jarven glass arrowheads, nice. More arrow module things can be added if you want, by as well as adding item script to text file, adding entries for them to \lua\client\MBA_Items.lua. AttachmentConversion for the inventory item and the attachment item. ArrowPartData to say what sort of part it is. AttachmentWeight for its weight.

You craft arrows using the right-click context menu. Craft the parts first (arrow shafts, arrowheads, fletching), and then right-click on any of the parts in your inventory.

Hello!!! How can I make arrows?

Do i only one having problem with arrows crafting, there are no recipe for them, i can still craft parts like arrowheads and shafts but they don't in use anywhere.

@Satuis Aburda Oh, have a good journey ^ ^

I can try, but going on an international trip soon and don't care about much else.

Hello, can you provide some translation interfaces? Just need EN, we will add more languages.

yes, it's tagged multiplayer.

is this playable in multiplayer mode?

@RobRendell I did exactly what you tell me to, and it's worked. Tsm for help.

Re: seeing the "you should not see this" string: you might be using Chill down's "Bow and Arrow Alternate Drawing" mod, rather than Gluten the sensitive's original "Bow and Arrow" mod. The Alternative Drawing mod forked off from the Gluten the sensitive's original mod a while ago, and hasn't been updated, which could explain the reason those strings are still showing for you.

If you like the alternative drawing UX, but want to use the latest version of the base Bow and Arrow mod, you can try using Gluten the sensitive's mod with my "Bow and Arrow Alternative Draw Add-On" mod, which just modifies the drawing without replacing the whole mod in the way that Chill down's mod does.

Beware that Chill down's mod has the same mod ID as the base Bow and Arrow mod, so having it installed can confuse things even if you try to disable it in the mod settings - the original mod and Chill down's mod can't cleanly coexist, and you'll need to unsubscribe from one to use the other.

Sorry about not being able to help, they annoyed me too while they were my problem

@satuis aburda Oh :/ this is sad. But thanks for attention.

Those "mentions" were something I told and got the original Bow & Arrow Developer to remove, and he did, MONTHS AGO. So I have no idea why y'all see those mentions, because I don't see them.

Why do i have the mention (You should not see this) next to most of iron arrowhead recipes ? I can't make any arrow, i need to fix this²

@matzil I've added option to use glass as material for flint arrowheads. You must find file MandelaBowAndArrow_recipes.txt, then locate this part

Make Flint Arrowhead
{
SharpedStone,

Result:MandelaBowAndArrow.MandelaArrowHeadFlint,
Time:80.0,
Category:Survivalist,


Change it to

recipe Make Flint Arrowhead
{
SharpedStone/Moveables.brokenglass_1_0/Moveables.brokenglass_1_1/Moveables.brokenglass_1_2/Moveables.brokenglass_1_3,

Result:MandelaBowAndArrow.MandelaArrowHeadFlint,
Time:80.0,
Category:Survivalist,


Now you can make flint arrowheads using broken glass.
It would be nice to make recipe where you can use any kind of glass (like bottles, mirrors). I don't understand those files enough to do it.

But to be fully honest, for arrowheads you need quite thick piece of glass for knaping tools like in flint.

Hey, why do i have the mention (You should not see this) next to most of iron arrowhead recipes ? I can't make any arrow, i need to fix this.

Ask Bow and Arrow, they control the arrow parts.

Broken glass, similar to flint, is a common source of arrowhead material. IRL: requires denim/ leather and steel to chip it into shape. Worth considering?

Re: bundling arrow recipe creating arrow shafts - wouldn't it just be the reverse of the base mod's recipe to unbundle arrows? So it would take 20 MandelaArrowWoodDucttapeIron and make 1 MandelaArrowBundle? Although there are other types of arrow, so you'd need to define a different bundle type for each arrow type, which might be a pain.

Speaking of which, another custom recipe which would be grand would be a single "make arrow" recipe. The latest B&A mod has the ability to make arrow blanks without fletching, which is great and all, but being able to assemble a whole arrow from arrowhead, shaft and fletchings in a single crafting operation would save some extra clicks if you just want to skip straight to the end product.

FYI, I've now released a mod (with kind permission from Cool down, the author of the Bow and Arrow Alternative Drawing mod) which adds their hold-attack-to-draw, release-to-loose firing UX as an add-on to the base Bow and Arrow mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900287489

yeah I understand 100%, the reason I removed that was because it would result in what was basically just arrow shafts. but I do want to create a version for the alternative bow and arrow mod.

@Satuis Aburda Hi, me again :) The recipe to create a bundle of arrows from 20 arrows seems to have been taken out of this mod with the update to the new version of Bow and Arrow - could you add it again? It's nice to have some spare bundles in my backpack, which I unbundle if I think I'm going to get into a big fight, but I can bundle them up again afterwards after collecting any I used.

Oh, that's a shame. Thanks anyway!

I don't keep a backup of old versions so I'd have to recreate it sometime when I have the free time
