@Major_Mooseman it wasn't and won't be updated for b42.

Does this mod still function with B42? If not, do you have plans for updating it? Thank you :)

@Krizzy This mod is pretty outdated and will not recive any updates.

You should make it so that in spear mode you can attach blades to it like a wooden spear for lolz
Anyway I'm going to be yet another person to ask for SOMW compatibility (if it doesn't work with it, I'm writing this before play testing this)

The spear main player who sees this mod joined the crowbar faction to against the axe moron.

So simple it's genius. Well done.

Will it be hard to add compatibility with Simple Overhaul: Melee Weapons (SOMW)? If it's not could you please add it?

i subscribed to this mod but i can't see it in my mods list

its technically other weapon. . . lel

A shame, but works nonetheless. :V

@Spite, Technicly it should, but Spearform of crowbar will be vanilla model.

Will it will work with Simple Overhaul: Melee Weapons (SOMW)???

@Segaside Shouldn't be too hard, ill take a look soon.

Hey dude, love the mod! Just wondering if there is a possibility of compatibility with this mod in the future: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817558602

As of now, when you use a coloured crowbar, it doesn't give you the options to turn it into a spear. Due to them being separate items.

A hotkey for changing would be lovely, Ctrl + E for example, like in Brutal Handwork (It switches weapon between hands), so that you could actually use it mid battle instead of having to go through menu

You did it man. This mod is f awesome

@Halcyon Ways There is none, as i haven't seen need for that.

what is the hot key to switch between spear and blunt?

Im glad to hear it.

This mod is epic. DAMN!

Finally I meet someone else with the same idea, thank you so much for thr great work

Good mod, respect to the author

@>) @Yummu I've made a discussion now, feel free to post your suggestions, but remember i will see what can be done, but im making no promises.

Thanks for the clarifications! Too bad it wouldn't work with modded weapons, any plan for adding it in the future?

@realnik10 No, Freeman`s Crowbar doesn`t work with common sense

@>)

1) Yea, it works on multiplayer
2) No, this mod doesn`t support weapons from other mods

This is a nice mod for a greedy player like me who likes both the worlds of spear and long blunt, you make my day lol

I have but two questions for you, kind dev: Does this mod works on multiplayer? And does it limits to vanilla crowbar only, or would it applies to tools/weapons added by mods as well? Like Halligan Bar from Tools of the Trade mod and even the smaller, one-handed ultilty bar.

Could you please do compatible with this mod, and add russian translation :3

@Jasdan Right now im working on other mod, but once i'm done i'll see if i can do it.

Could this be compatible with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2929123989 ?

@Jasdan Thats strange, CommonSense author made the patch to remove this interaction with more than one prying option appearing even if you have more than one item that is able to perform it. For me it works just fine but i don't use any crowbar mods. Maybe you have other crowbar mod installed that has compatibility with previous common sense version that makes them appear? You could always try resubscribing, but as far as i see it works on my end, but if you could find what mod could cause this it would help.

@Jasdan Just updated, now it should be fully compatible and work in both states

@Jasdan Only enable one, and for now only vanila crowbar can be made into spear version. I might expand it to other crowbar mods in the future, also there was patch to common sense mod and current compatibiliy does no longer work, so ill be fixing that soon. About damage, there is comment below that says damage values for non low dmg one. Simply put crafted wooden spears are viable if you want high damage but low durability, where crowbar(spear) is medium damage but is very durable and allows you to level up spear skills.

@Jasdan thats right, at that time it felt like crowbar with all these mods became jack of all trades so if someone feels like it they can take this option to idk. balance it a bit (i did use it for quite some time)

@Your Uncle Alex <3 I've quickly checked out popular "Paintable crowbars" mod and only blue crowbar will work with this mod since its using same id as vanila and my mod is based on it. Rest of crowbars (even lightblue crowbar) are additional ones and option to use them as spear wont appear. If thats the mod youre talking about i could in near future make compatibilty patch to allow all of these crowbars to be used as spears, including that multi color one which boosts stats a little. Unless you mean other mod then i would need a name

Hey there! so this is a little random but I wondered how much conflict do you think this mod would have with one where the crowbar's colour can be changed? Thanks for you're great work btw! Peace

@McStabbyTaco3000 The thing is that it was possible with little to no code with Common sense thants to its autor BirBraven, that released a patch that allows to add any item to work with his code with no work from my side (my tries to make it work before that weren't perfect so it was never released). While i like the idea of making it work with other mods my lua knowledge is almost none and its all trial and error, while i do intend to learn it so i can make some of my mod ideas into reality, it might not come in a long time but if i have spare time and no things to do ill check what i can do.

@Bl1tz Harrys better vanilla weapons changes textures and model, so it works by default, but when made into shortspear it will turn into vanila model with vanila texture and when turned back it will be back into Harrys version. I could do addon for that so it uses his model (i have model and texture ready so all i need is to add it), but then i looked at crowbar mods and there is quite many of them (lets not even talk about paintable ones) that it could create quite a mess in near future if someone else would want other mods like that. I'll think about it and maybe come with solution.

pls add compatibility with harrys better vanilla weapons

@realnik10

From my perspective I think the mod is completely fine and optimized with the craft mechanic. It would likely be too much work to figure out how to hotkey the switching modes and add more clutter in the game files and likely mess something up as the game gets updated.

Keep the mod how it is in regards to the crafting mechanic. I think that the people having issues with it are being extremely lazy aswell as misunderstand the complications of modding. You've done a great job and I appreciate the mod how it is in that regard

@RexTollBardYT Could you explain it a little bit more? I dont really understand where the problem lays, but i would like to know your opinion. Is it because you have to right click crowbar and select "Use as spear"/"Use as Blunt", it is considered crafting by game, but you dont use any materials (you can change between them freely and the only downside is that it removes it from your hotbar back slot, but if you had it in your hand it stays there, it also saves condition so there is no way to exploit it), would hotkey for that be better. Did you really switch that often (before common sense compatibilty patch i could understand, but if you use these both mods now you dont need to to pry on doors and can do it with spear form)?

A good mod, but I didn't like that to use the function it has to be crafted, it was to switch automatically if this function is added, I use it again.

@McStabbyTaco3000

It already does and the maker clarified that somewhere

Can you make it compatible with Better Lockpicking's prying mechanic as well?

i was talking about a "steel spear(crowbar) would be more heavy then a wood spear. so it should have more mass per square inch, then a wooden spear. so it should use more endurance then a wooden spear.
just an idea. but dont listen to me x3

@NeinDao Its been some time when i last had used crowbar IRL, but i think swinging it would actually tire you more than trying to push it like a spear.
Base crowbar damage (blunt)
MinDamage = 0.6,
MaxDamage = 1.1,
Modded crowbar (spear)
MinDamage = 0.9,
MaxDamage = 1.2,
Crafted wooden spear damage (to compare)
MinDamage = 1,
MaxDamage = 1.5,
Crowbar spear has less critical chance than wooden spear(for balance purpouse)
@Mossy Oak Basing on a models alone i see that wooden spear is very sharp while crowbar's point of impact while using as spear is a bit bigger and wider (to endure work they were meant to do). I did however took your input into consideration and increased damage a bit.

@Mossy Oak. if you increase the damage due to more mass/weight, then it should also use more stamina when used :3 that could balance it.
Shorter then normal spear. more dmg and higher penetration but higher fatigue cost to use

what are the weapon stats of the crowbar?

Based mod, I understand the ideas about lowering the range and damage but I would like to point out that a metal crowbar is alot heavier than a wooden spear and thus it's penetrating damage would actually probably prove greater. The range should stay the same but I would like to see the damage higher than the wooden spears.

Force = Mass * Acceleration
Force = Penetrating Power in this case
Mass is higher in crowbar vs wooden spear
Acceleration is dependent on the player's arms' motion, which should be consistent btw spear and crowbar

Mass goes up with the crowbar while acceleration stays the same, so the Force should increase proportionally to the increase in mass

Yeah, i understand, but it just doesn't feel right and it takes time to convert. Also, imo there should be the option for people like me, who just doesn't understand why would i use a crowbar as a blunt and not as a spear. Anyway, thanks for your answer.
(i'm currently playing a playthrough with this mod on btw)
