FAQ & Troubleshooting
FAQ

  • Does the Recurve Bow replace any weapon?
    No, it is a brand new weapon. It does however replace a few melee weapon spawns on each map.

  • Does the Recurve Bow work in single player?
    Yes

  • Does the Recurve Bow work in multiplayer?
    Yes, but every player and, if using one, the server, needs to have the add-on as sell as the Custom Weapon Base installed. If hosting a lobby Local Hosting needs to be selected.

  • Does the Recurve Bow work on custom campaigns?
    No, the Recurve Bow would have to be added to each individual campaign along with a control script in order to work.

  • Where can I find the weapon?
    Anywhere melee weapons normally spawn.

  • How do you enable infinite ammo?
    Using the sv_infinite_ammo 1 console command (cheat).

  • What mods are incompatible with this?
    Mods that alter gameplay by running VScripts are likely incompatible. That includes the Admin System and CS:S weapon unlockers. The Recurve Bow is compatible with other mods using the Custom Weapon Base. A special compatible CS:S weapon unlocker also exists.

    Some mods with custom sounds can show up as conflicting with the Recurve Bow, including the Shrek Tank mod. The mods are not incompatible and will still work together.

  • How do I spawn the Recurve Bow from console?
    Use the command:
    give bow

  • How much damage does the Recurve Bow do?
    It does 15 damage to survivors, 500 damage to infected.


Troubleshooting guide
  • The Recurve Bow does not fire properly / the bow has no arrows.
    This is likely caused by incompatibility with other mods. Disable other addons, especially conflicting ones. To fire, the button needs to be held in until the bowstring is released.

  • The Recurve Bow does not spawn.
    Disable other addons featuring custom melee weapons or modes featuring mission file replacements. Make sure the Custom Weapon Base is installed. Make sure you are not playing on a custom campaign/map, and that you're hosting the game or playing on a server with the mod installed.

Known issues and Limitations

  • Arrows can sometimes bounce off of infected/survivors.
  • Does not work with custom campaigns unless the campaign is modified to include it.
  • Incompatible with other addons that globally execute scripts.

How much dmg does it do and does it receive headshot mult and if so how much?

Rectus  [developer] 20 Jul, 2017 @ 8:24am 
It does 15 damage to survivors, 500 damage to infected, so it two-shots chargers and witches. I don't have any reliable way to detect headshots, so not multiplier for that.

Yes, they can pierce common infected.

When I used it, it's appeared that the only kind of arrow that the player (me) was able to shoot is the one with 'red' feather. Is there anyway to change or add more colors on it?

The color of the arrow that actually gets shot vaires, but it's always red in the model. It's had to change things in the actual view model, so I havne't found a way to have the nocked arrow match the shot one.

I need to be able to resupply the arrows, because this mod has a bug, that is, in some cases, the arrows cannot be retrieved

You are supposed to be able to resupply the arrows from ammo piles.
