@OttosTheName you can uninstall the mod freely should not cause any issue other than removing all related items, this mod has been discontinued for about a year now
OttosTheName 3 Sep, 2023 @ 6:54pm 
Also is it safe to uninstall this mod from an existing save?

Sometimes when 2 or more zombies are after me and they are walking shoulder to shoulder (pushing against eachother) 1 of them will suddenly teleport forward by about a foot. Sometimes a bit more.

I have only noticed it since installing this mod and I don't have any other new mods. I can't say for sure if it's this mod. Has anybody else noticed the same thing? It's not a huge deal, but not ideal.

Brutal Handwork breaks this.

@R2k the reload speed is a function of your Archery skill, and significantly slowed if your character is panicked, tired, drunk and perhaps a few other conditions. Reloading gets faster as you become more skilled and less hampered by negative moodles.

Hello, I thank you in advance for this mod really interesting, but me when I use it, I can reload the bow, when I shoot there is a flash but no visible arrow and even having the statistic archery to the max via the admin, it is impossible for me to touch and kill the zombies, how it is done?
R2k 12 Apr, 2023 @ 11:15pm 
Recharge speed it very slow. Like 3-4 sec per arrow is meh.

Hi @OmegaFishies
Have you tried reloading (press R). It took me a good while to it figure out too.
Beaslebub 4 Mar, 2023 @ 5:15pm 
idk if it's just me, but this mod does not seem to work at all. It still fires instantly whenever I click, but it doesn't shoot anything or do any damage and still costs and arrow. Any tips?
Wildy 15 Feb, 2023 @ 7:02pm 
Update ?
Zenex_17 10 Feb, 2023 @ 7:59pm

i know its not this mod but i was wondering if the fletchings are fixed?
i cant seem to make arrows because the Fletchings keep saying "(You Should Not See This)"

I was wondering how i can fix this mid game or at all

Hi, if you are using controller please check RobRendell's link below, I haven't had time to play games recently and this mod is still few months old
ParasiticSquid 4 Feb, 2023 @ 11:43am 
@ionaton Same issue for me with controller and mouse when using this. Another thing of note is it happens in single player too and while aiming at a zombie it will fire at the zombie but not aiming at one it fires north by default no matter what direction is faced

Not sure if its your mod causing this error, but it is mentioned:

Jinaie 26 Jan, 2023 @ 10:45am 
can it be possible to have a reduce noise since there is a bug with britas mod ?
ionaton 4 Jan, 2023 @ 7:41pm 
Hi! One of my favorite mods for sure! However, in recent server tests (41.78.7), i noticed that the bow seems to always fire NORTH when the character is on top of a building or in close quarters (like in a hallway). outdoors or inside larger rooms, no problem. I didnt look through all the comments to see if this has been mentioned, so hopefully this isnt super irritating. Anyway, to everyone putting in time on this mod, keep up the good work!

@ParasiticSquid I'm only aware that there is a modern recurve bow named scorpion which you can get by selecting archer trait at the start of the game. It is available in the base mod
ParasiticSquid 30 Dec, 2022 @ 12:53am 
@Chill down Does that one have the compound bow as well?
Vogelmensch  [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 1:39am 
hi Aura, this mod has not been update for quite some time now, maybe try BobRendell's mod down below?
Aura 19 Dec, 2022 @ 4:58pm 
Causes major desync in multiplayer with zombies killed with your bow still being alive to other players and sometimes creating an invincible zombie that gets constantly healed to max somehow. also incompatible with Combat Text (B40+B41) as dealing damage with the bow does not show the HP Bar or any damage text apart from +179 spam when zombies get the invincibility bug
RobRendell 10 Dec, 2022 @ 9:28pm 
I've now released my version which adds the hold-attack-to-draw, release-to-loose UX of this mod to the base Bow and Arrow mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900287489

Thanks again for permission to use your assets, Chill down! I prefer the sounds effects from this mod over the base Bow and Arrow mod (as well as the UX for drawing, obviously!)
RobRendell 9 Dec, 2022 @ 11:14pm 
I'm the one who has made progress on an addon version of this mod. Thanks for the permission to use your assets and code! I'll share a link here when I have something worth sharing.
NalMac 9 Dec, 2022 @ 7:34am 
I'm not the one changing anything. I had asked on discord how difficult it would be to strip your mod from the original now outdated one you use here so that the alternative drawing can function as an addon for the main mod. Someone has already made some progress in doing so. I will point them in your direction.
Vogelmensch  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 7:16am 
note that I made some sound effects and you can use it freely, but for everything else you need to ask Gluten the Sensitive
Vogelmensch  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 7:15am 
@NalMac if you want to use my assets/code go ahead
NalMac 9 Dec, 2022 @ 6:16am 
@chill down Gotcha. Also I hope you don't mind but I reached out to the PZ modders on discord to see if it was possible to take your mod and turn it into an addon that can work along side the original Bow mod so that it can continue to function on newer updates without you needing to do it on your end since right now you have it as an independent thing.

I just really enjoy this way of frawing and saw you haven't updated in a while.
Vogelmensch  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 3:43am 
@NalMac I know but I think it could break some saves if I change it, for the moment I'm leaving it be
NalMac 7 Dec, 2022 @ 3:46pm 
you need to change your modID name. since you made it the same as the original mod it doesn't appear in my mod list.
mikeydmc 20 Nov, 2022 @ 9:00pm 
This mod seems to have a compatibility issue with Brita's and Arsenal mod, it makes the bows very loud when played together.
RobRendell 17 Nov, 2022 @ 1:53pm 
@abbasi No, this mod is stand alone.

That said, the original mod has updated, and unfortunately the Bow and Arrow AddOn mod (mod id 2824362101) has updated to match, and now *it's* no longer compatible with this mod. Also unfortunately, the updated version of the original mod seems to be buggy and going through multiple revisions, so I imagine @Chill down will want to wait for it to settle before updating this mod. I've asked the author of the Bow and Arrow AddOn mod if they'll make the old version of their mod available somewhere for use with this one.
abbasi 17 Nov, 2022 @ 11:03am 
Hello! Do I need the original mod to run yours?
Vogelmensch  [author] 11 Nov, 2022 @ 2:53am 
HolySins this mod use a function that checks each time you press left key, in theory it does not conflict with other mods.
HolySins 10 Nov, 2022 @ 10:34pm 
does this work with crossbow mods ?
Vogelmensch  [author] 24 Oct, 2022 @ 8:09am 
jAstn aka. The Anklertaker I tested the mod without other mods and still works without issue
jAstn 23 Oct, 2022 @ 7:32pm 
@Chill down actually the original mod got a update 6 hours after you wrote this
Vogelmensch  [author] 20 Oct, 2022 @ 6:50am 
Hi, I'm currently not working on this mod, but if the original mod gets an update maybe I'll do a quick fix
Pandav 18 Oct, 2022 @ 10:32am 
@Sham no some mods not working with this mod. Like weapons mods. You must look what. Than i think it must work.
smarin_95 17 Oct, 2022 @ 8:32am 
@Sham the same for me
Sham 17 Oct, 2022 @ 5:30am 
Don't know what changed, but got infinite errors and infinite arrow reload time. Seems an animation got broken or something. Only me?
Blastmetal 6 Sep, 2022 @ 8:18am 
ah ok i missed that
Vogelmensch  [author] 6 Sep, 2022 @ 8:17am 
Blastmetal as the description suggests the B41 Firearms is reported not working with this mod.
Blastmetal 6 Sep, 2022 @ 5:32am 
i had some fun trying to level my archery skill but for whatever weird reason when your bow skill is zero, it will simply not hit any zombies at all even at point blank multiple times at a zombie that was banging a door. Not sure if this is somthing mod related itself, or some other mod conflicting.

I am using FirearmsB41 and better guns mod plus im using the new workshop mod and scrapsmith which all add weapons and ranged weapons to the game so that might be a problem.
Vogelmensch  [author] 3 Sep, 2022 @ 10:32am 
This mod does seem to conflict with the original mod sometimes, due to my lack of experience I must have the same ID as the original mod. I could fix that but I think it might ruin some saves...
darkness soul99 3 Sep, 2022 @ 8:39am 
@Nyanko-Sensei do you have the original installed too? If you do this one won't show up.
Nyanko-Sensei 2 Sep, 2022 @ 12:46am 
i subscribed to this but its not showing in game mod menu
MiltonJ 30 Aug, 2022 @ 8:39am 
Can be added to saved games?
