Required mods: Overhaul lib


Adds medieval crossbows. They are balanced as slower but harder hitting alternative to bows.

Crossbows are cheaper to craft and use than firearms, and has more damage per shot compared to bows. However, crossbows has less damage per shot than firearms and cant be stored fully loaded, and has less damage per minute than bows, and less accurate than Bullseye bows. Only the simple crossbow becomes obsolete with progression in game, the other three having their own use cases, so one might consider use cases when choosing what to craft or if to upgrade, because more powerful crossbows have their drawbacks and can be an overkill for specific use case.

For quiver to work requires Combat Overhaul installed

💬 icehorse, May 3rd at 11:20 PM

do crossbows only work with bolts, or would they work with other ammunition as well?

💬 B0YAR, May 2nd at 11:13 PM

Same problems with errors.

💬 MyuriC, Apr 20th at 5:57 PM

Games saying Entity shape for entity combatoverhaul:spear-scrap-ruined not found or errored, was supposed to be at game:shapes/item/tool/spear/ruined/scrap.json. Entity will be invisible!

Am not using CO - only Crossbow and Overhaul lib.

💬 Kridise, Apr 19th at 10:15 PM

Blitzy662, I just had the same issue with a fresh server. Worked fine without Crossbows, and Overhaul loaded and as soon as I loaded both instant crash. I have done several efforts to troubleshoot. However, everything so far points to the two mods mentioned as being the sole culprits.

I hope a fix for this is in the works soon, as I would love to have these weapons on the server but with the crash wall, will have to go without for the time being.

💬 usherman, Apr 16th at 4:46 AM

can you please make a standalone version where you don't need combat overhaul, or if someone has already made it can i pls have the link

💬 Wailwolf, Apr 14th at 4:19 PM

Hi Maltiez, can you update the french translation with that one, please ? Thanks for your mod. 😌

I've no clue what the problem is and can't really decipher the log in my head, if anyone knows and can help then it would be lovely.

💬 FatRefrigerator, Apr 6th at 11:27 PM

Kinda wish that the crossbows had higher damage tiers. The only ones with a higher tier than the longbow are the ones that require Steel, not really much of an upgrade path for ranged users, since you can make longbows super early, and some people never even get to steel. The iron ones should be tier 5-6.

💬 Vesk, Mar 31st at 6:44 AM

I agree with Spyke1021 that would be more fair and intuitive to players if this mod had the "*Requires Bowyer Trait" requirement listed on the recipe for the Latch and Stirrup Crossbows themselves, rather than hidden in a rather obtuse way as a pre-req ingredient (Composite Prod). I do like that Hunter class could get additional work out of this mod, since IMO it is an underused class, but these two xbows are currently portrated they're a trap for that I'm afraid most players will likely fall for, especially since Combat Overhaul encouragines players to go as Clockmaker specifically because of the class bonuses.

Another alternative might be adding Clockmaker as a class which 'can' craft Composite Prods. I think that that would be a reasonable, though maybe that would muddy the class identity between Hunter and Clockmaker too much.

Any pointers?

💬 Spyke1021, Mar 17th at 10:27 PM

I chose clockmaker as my class so I could play with the crossbows and guns from your other mod, but I just realized that I can't make any of the latch or stirrup crossbows in single player because of the Bowyer trait requirement to craft a composite prod. I think adding either another trait requirement or a replacement item may be a good idea as a way to get it without having to play in multiplayer or cheating it in.

💬 duckpond, Mar 16th at 10:57 PM

Is there a way to change the mod so that crossbows can be stored loaded?

💬 Heavy_Mettaloid, Mar 11th at 10:52 PM

Does anyone know what specifically ties this mod to Combat Overhaul?

💬 Heithwald, Mar 9th at 8:02 AM

Hey, Maltiez !

Just wanted to let you know, that using ReShade with your crossbows makes them invisible. Even just the bare fact of patching the .exe, not the specific ReShade effects

💬 Kaschperle, Mar 7th at 1:41 AM

by any chance are you lacking somebody to find the corresponding audio for each of the xbows? Cause I can of dislike them as their is no satisfying sound when reloading. I could theoretically help you with that

this happens when i unequip my quiver

💬 Hydromancerx, Feb 28th at 7:07 PM

Yes please have a version without combat overhaul dependency! Was so good in v1.19. So sad to see it needing it now. Same for Firearms mod.

💬 FallenFeces, Feb 19th at 4:07 PM

I'd also like a standalone version of this mod.

💬 Destroyer_V0, Feb 19th at 1:07 PM

I am curious as to the likelyhood of this mod being made standalone from combat overhaul (Not nescarily from your other mod for ranged combat overhaul, bullseye) once you finish updating that mod to 1.20?

💬 icesharkk, Feb 16th at 3:00 PM

Maltiez

I have a a bug submission and observation that leads into a request as well. love the mod dude!

with the goat's foot cross bow: starting the reload sequence after firing it is difficult/delayed in a way that feels like a bug. I find myself having to press right click repeatedly to get the animation started. its maybe a half to 3/4 second delay but its enough to be intterrupting to the flow.

on a similar note for flow interruption but not a bug: the reload animation for the goats foot does not complete until the lever is put back in your pocket. which makes sense for balance purposes, but the cross bow string is latched to the mechanism part way thorugh the reload. and since your hands are off screen for the end portion of the animation it is hard to determine when the cocking animation is over and it is incredibly easy to interrupt it and have to start all over. this feels really bad since i literally watched the string get lached into place before magically unlatching. is it possible to set the cocking as complete at that point? even if there is this an animation that has to finish before an arrow can be pulled out and placed? I just want the cocking completion to be tied to the actual visual queue so i stop screwing it up and having my immersion broken. 

 

💬 Leozin, Jan 27th at 11:34 AM

Hey Maltiez. It no longer happens in 1.20.3 but I was referring to the Simple Crossbow.

💬 Maltiez , Jan 24th at 2:35 PM

What, what is basic crossbow? No crossbow can oneshot bear

💬 Leozin, Jan 24th at 2:19 PM

Very cool mod, all crossbows are well animated and look awesome. My only gripe with it is that even the basic crossbow is very overpowered, to the point of killings bears with one shot. In comparison the Arquebus (from the Firearms mod) takes 4-5 shots to take down a bear and takes wayyy more materials to craft.

💬 SirDerpface, Jan 22nd at 5:47 PM

If the player dies when reloading a windlass crossbow, they can't move after respawning, only by spawning in a crossbow then reloading it.

💬 Wintogan, Jan 21st at 6:54 PM

I'm sure you've heard this already, but there are no reloading sfx anymore. Just when firing.

💬 Caveira, Jan 2nd at 3:59 AM

How do you store crossbows on the ground? When I try it just reloads

💬 Dude7ox, Dec 28th 2024 at 11:04 AM

So, cranequin when? It does feel pretty advanced compared to our technology in VS, but you can make a very complex recipe for it.

💬 Serpent, Dec 17th 2024 at 5:37 PM

The crafting recipe for the repeating crossbow only takes nails and strips if they're made out of copper, and nothing else. Seems like an oversight.

make sure you have the latest version of the game, CO, this mod, and you dont have duplicates in your mods folder

💬 Slutalia, Oct 26th 2024 at 9:14 AM

💬 Toastul, Oct 23rd 2024 at 7:47 PM

Cranequin crossbow would be cool

💬 Neo_O, Oct 8th 2024 at 10:39 PM

crude flint bolt recipe get a 0 damage with 100% break. they don't break if don't hit a target but if it hit really make 0 damage. is intended dat a bolt that use flint tips dont make damage?

atm the rest of the bolts under iron level work as intended. gj

Hi, how do I send you the translation es-419?

💬 Moon_Dew, Aug 24th 2024 at 7:22 AM

The only thing missing is a stone bow.  A type of crossbow designed to fire pellets made of stone, clay, or lead.

💬 Razvandicoot, Jul 29th 2024 at 11:29 AM

Hi, Maltiez

For some reason I still can't use my crossbow (even with my offhand empty)?

Any thoughts as to why this might be? :/

💬 Razvandicoot, Jul 25th 2024 at 6:30 PM

Maltiez

Oh! Okay, thanks ^^

Not empty offhand

💬 Razvandicoot, Jul 25th 2024 at 1:35 PM

Hello there!

For some reason I can't load my crossbows?

Is there a known problem that causes this?

 

💬 endey, Jul 16th 2024 at 6:52 PM

repeater crossbows do more damage than non-repeating crossbows due to having signifacantly less reload time, i reccomend maybe buffing normal crossbows reload rate to make them a little more viable as they dont provide much alpha strike potential.

also repeating crossbows like to eat stuff like clay, quartz, ore chunks. i dont know why.

💬 heh, Jun 8th 2024 at 11:52 AM

Would be nice if the archer skill from xskills applied to crossbow.

💬 Vexin_Irso, Jun 7th 2024 at 1:57 AM

Hey, I was wondering if these were supposed to do damage? I shoot one at a mob, it does the little ding, but as far as I can tell there is no damage done to the enemy? Anyone encounter this before?

💬 ArchertheArbiter, May 3rd 2024 at 8:13 AM

Hi, having an issue where I'm making a stirrup for the stirrup crossbow, but the stirrup given for the tin bronze varient is bismuth bronze instead (Has a rustier look instead of a clean bronze) when in the forge menu. I have all the parts for the crossbow, but I am unable to make it. This is the only thing that I can see being wrong, as I think both parts need to be either tin bronze of bismuth bronze, not one or the other.

💬 Perdous, Apr 14th 2024 at 2:01 PM

I think I forgot that I had something else in my other hand in game. Problem solved. I am just a bit stupid. Maltiez

💬 Perdous, Apr 14th 2024 at 7:37 AM

Since the Issue Tracker does not seem to work, I will say it here. I just got back into my world/server and there I was unable to load my already span goats foot crossbow. Maybe it is worth looking into that. (the models and animation are gorgeous btw)

💬 Nikkolai, Apr 10th 2024 at 6:53 AM

Man, crossbows used to be OP before guns existed. They still kinda OP if you have some proficiency.

💬 Caydet, Apr 6th 2024 at 7:37 PM

@Maltiez

I know that "Issue tracker" leads to the discord but like I said, it doesnt work for me. Anyhow, another issue is for whatever reason the crossbows are transparent for me, no idea why that is

💬 Maltiez , Apr 5th 2024 at 4:30 PM

Caydet

Issue tracker link is link to official VS discord server

Tbh, I dunno how is it possible to brick crossbow. Cant reproduce the bug. Need more info.

💬 Caydet, Apr 5th 2024 at 3:37 PM

I would post this on the discord but thats not possible since... well either the discord dont exist or, discord is having a meltdown again. Anyways, the latch crossbow seems to have some issues. After dying with it in my main hand it stopped working, only hanging in my right hand, unable to reload it.

 

P.S no relogging doesnt help it.

 

P.P.S It's more spesifically after I died with a lantern in my off hand, while holding the crossbow.

💬 Mythimna, Apr 4th 2024 at 8:19 PM

Love this mod! The new crossbows are super fun. I've found the repeating crossbow to be super useful underground, has saved my butt a couple time now. Thank you for the mod and the updates!

💬 RenayEdor, Apr 1st 2024 at 6:15 PM

@Maltiez We do have the latest version (0.4.1). I've only tested the latest version of Crossbows (0.3.1). I can provide logs if necessary? Maybe it's a conflict with something else we have, which would be a shame, but also doens't make sense as 0.2.2 works just fine with everything else

P.P.S we're on VS 1.19.7 now and 0.2.2 works just fine

💬 Maltiez , Apr 1st 2024 at 2:52 PM

Drakoflame

Make sure you have latest FSMlib version

💬 RenayEdor, Apr 1st 2024 at 2:04 PM

Currently having an issue where the crossbows aren't being registered with the new update. I believe that it is this mod causing the issue, as Firearms itself works fine, but the crossbow mod does not load (on our server all relivant items are black squares with broken names). I'd love to update to get the two new crossbows but at the moment it's just not working :(

💬 TimSithis, Apr 1st 2024 at 1:54 PM

Hey about those Latch crossbow i am not sure if it's because of other mods but I can see my bolt still there when firing and only after a full reload does it vanish and gets replaced

+It seems to also bug out when you pick something up and it lands in your off hand, I would upload some pictures on the Discord

Otherwise love it

Check out mod's post in "mods" forum in official VS discrod server (or even "mods general" channel)

Also crossbows of each age are not direct upgrades, they all have their niches.

💬 GmanAmatin, Mar 28th 2024 at 4:23 PM

Will there be an iron crossbow sometime in the future? Having that gap between bronze and steel for Crossbows is a bit awkward to deal with.

💬 Maltiez , Dec 13th 2023 at 2:01 AM

Falco

I may add this ammo selection feature later

"the loading aid gets put back into the offhand slot after use" - Now you need offhand empty for loading and drawing in case of earlier crossbows

Colecionador_00

I might add compatibility later, currently I dont have time and energy for this

Tsimshianic

I'll make 'Extra' mod later (much later) and add all the stuff that dont fit into main Firarms and Crossbows mods

Riotset

Thanks, it is much appreciated

💬 Colecionador_00, Dec 12th 2023 at 4:08 PM

Hi Maltiez, the crossbows mod, have a problem of compatibilite with mod Xskills?

💬 Falco, Dec 4th 2023 at 10:18 AM

With bullseye there is a key binding (default F) that allows you to switch the ammo for your bow. It would be neat if this could also be done for crossbows?

Also it would be nice if the loading aid gets put back into the offhand slot after use.

Would also be neat if it tied into xskills' archery system.

💬 Tsimshianic, Nov 26th 2023 at 9:18 PM

I would love to see a Repeating Crossbow (Chu-ko-nu)

💬 Riotset, Nov 2nd 2023 at 3:26 PM

I really love all your weapon mods, they are so high quality and it feels like they should be included in the base game. I just want to say thank you for all the effort you put in these gems.

💬 TheNiteFox, Oct 29th 2023 at 9:13 PM

@Maltiez Yup, that is totally true! When I was loading the crossbow it definitely felt real cause refiling it was so slow! But that is how its supposed to be xD Its really cool you managed to capture that in this mod! 

💬 Maltiez , Oct 29th 2023 at 8:29 PM

TheNiteFox

I'm happy you having fun with these mods.

Crossbows are finicky intentionally, so I can make them deal more damage without harming the balance to much. Btw irl most of the time that you loose loading muzzle loader or heavy crossbow is spent fiddling with ammunition and loading equipment.

💬 TheNiteFox, Oct 29th 2023 at 7:42 PM

Yup totally understand, and yeah the error is 100% harmless it doesnt even make my computer run hotter lol. I did try out the mod and though loading the crossbow is a little finicky I absolutely love it! I just recenelty watched the British Musketeers and both your mods kind of have the same vibe as the weapons in that show haha ^_^

💬 Maltiez , Oct 29th 2023 at 7:11 PM

TheNiteFox

Missing recipes are for bolts. There are more types of arrow heads than types of bolts (cause gold and silver bolts does not make sense, and filnt and obsidian are not in vanilla... I think). It is annoying to have these errors in a log, yes, but they are harmless.

Iron and bronze bolts intentionally have the same damage. They are same tire of bolts and the reason to have iron bolts instead of bronze is having more iron in stockpiles than bronze, that should be a quite often situation (iron actually is easier to find, at least for me).

💬 TheNiteFox, Oct 29th 2023 at 3:21 PM

On serverside Main.txt Got an error saying the crafting recipe & grid recipe for the maltiezcrossbows in flint, gold, silver & obsidian - could not be resolved. Is this suppose to be another type of crossbow available in-game? If it is then it's not showing up. 

Oh and I just figured out what this error is! The Bolts - flint, gold, silver & obsidian don't show up in game at all! Crude, copper, bronze x3 , iron x2 , and steel are the only ones that show up in-game.

Just wanted to let you know, but everything else is working just fine :)

 

Also just a sidenote - The Iron bolts should definitely do +8 dmg instead of +7, with a break chance between 5-7 maybe, cause as of right now there is now reason to use them, they have the same breakchance & dmg as bronze ones, which should definitely be changed in the future. That is just my opinion though, absolutely great mod though!

💬 Maltiez , Oct 22nd 2023 at 2:19 AM

Shion

Actually, even if it is not drawn, you should have the same behavior. Hold Alt to bypass it (like in Firearms).

💬 Shion, Oct 22nd 2023 at 1:07 AM

Once the crossbow is pulled, you can't place it on the ground or do anything else that is triggered by RMB without having any bolts in the inventory.

Bullseye mod support would also be nice.

💬 Maltiez , Oct 21st 2023 at 5:29 PM

Fynneberg

Fixed in 0.0.4

💬 Fynneberg, Oct 21st 2023 at 4:33 PM

It seems like the goats foot is currently uncraftable, as the game automatically recognizes the nails and stripes in combination with the steel plates as steel plaques in the crafting screen and not as the goats foot despite the arrangement. Is there a workaround for that?

💬 macoto_hino, Oct 21st 2023 at 11:56 AM

Not sure if you mean that all three mods work together, but I just tested it again, and it worked. This was my mods folder content:

  3. maltiezfirearms_0.3.2.zip

Indeed I have the newest version, after doing that it started behaving this way, after changing back and forth between versions and activating/deactivating the crossbow mod with varying degrees of success I'm now successfully playing with the newest version of Firearms and newest version of FSM lib.

💬 Maltiez , Oct 20th 2023 at 11:20 PM

Fynneberg

Make sure that you dont have older fsm lib versions installed as well

💬 Fynneberg, Oct 20th 2023 at 11:12 PM

Looking forward to this mod develop, already love the firearms. Just a headsup, installing the new fsm update and using this mod together with firearms seems to break using firearms (couldn't aim or reload a flask anymore, the reload key bind option disappears aswell as log notifications regarding the loaded/unloaded state. Putting the comment here as the interference seems to be caused by this mod after some uninstalling and reinstalling.
Log in case it helps:
