1.1.5

Hey, this is in the same vein as the Mantle thing people have mentioned.... sledgehammer is also breaking Translocators if breaking a block adjacent. something low as steel is also able to break much higher tier ores like aithril so long as you break the block right next to it. this is in 1.19.3 on a server. 

i've noticed when it comes to the xskills quality modifier for blacksmith if you smith anything that needs to be honed it removes the quality modifier. if the swords have hilts like the zweihander it keeps the quality modifier because the crossguard wasnt changed. Maybe this can be fixed by adding crossguards to the smithing process of all the blades so they keep their quality modifier?

scales for scale armor are missing a smithing recipe

Perdous Poleaxe, Halberd, Khopesh and a few other things are in 1.1.7, gonna be a hot minute for 1.1.7 though, trying to get certain C# things to work.
Wandour Oversight, is there any other things not working for recipes? Fixed for 1.1.7

Probably one of the best weapons mods I have used over the years playing vintage story :D The models and selection of weapons are great so far. If I would have any wishes for it, I'd as for a poleaxe because that is a pretty underrated weapon among plenty of people. But that is kind of it. I really like using this mod and I will be excited to see future updates!

is there a reason why new metal axes cant be used in recipes? like stainless steel axe chopping firewood?

Seems like stainless steel and other new tools of the newer tiers metals arent compatible with skill from xskills such as tunnel digger

so the sledgehammer is deleting mantle blocks when destroying blocks above them. this is probably a code mistake that should be fixed asap, since falling down into nothing may cause serious problems on servers. Zolgrim

i THINK the anvils for stainless steel and up don't work with xskills

its possible to use the sledgehammer to break mantle. this is probably not intentional

are you gonna add stainless steel, titanium etc into the swords items? because I noticed they are used mostly for vanilla stuff and not swordz weapons
(i get some might be so heavy theoretically so not for ranged weapons)

edit, i might've mixed your mod with weaponpack and ancient armory, still consider compatibility if possible ^^;

UPDATE : I discovered the problem isnt your mod, it's Xskills version 0.8.0rc-2 damage bonuses arent working at all even for vanilla

How do I smelt titanium bits, I got bits from smithing and dunno how to remake into ingot; won't fit in bloomery or the ingot mold recipe.
Also what is sparring mode?

ShanaLarisar To answer your original question on Xskills smithing, putting it simply : There is no easy and satisfactory way of doing that, one of the ways would be to simply have the player "resmith" the blade on an anvil again.

As for aithril, I intend on making aithril a meteorite like meteoric iron, but I didn't get around to it for 1.1.6, so as a stopgap I made them a surface deposit, from my initial testing I thought they were rare enough but that'd obviously be incorrect, consider it a "feature" until a future update adds them as a meteorite proper. If the next update doesn't add them as such, I've lowered their spawn rate drastically as a surface deposit failing that.

Is it intentionally to have minerals like Airthril spawning as surface deposites? Seems a little odd to me.They're also really, really common. I've found about 5-10 surface nodes within a 5k block square.

question for you why are most sword worse than a falx ?
at most its 1 tier higher than the falx and 50 more durability
its like there no point to get a sword other than aesthetic

compared a tin bronze to a honed tin bronze arming sword
*note i have yet to  use the mod  and not just compare stuff

can there be a version without the fantasy ores? they kinda clog the help page and are 1. quite outside of the feel of the game 2. not used in any of the weapons, the main draw of the mod and 3. look gross. not really trying to be mean on that last one, just seems like that should be an add on for this mod rather than included.

Would it be possible to allow you to sharpen a completed Blunt/Dull/Sharp weapon, to allow for compatability with xSkills smithing talents that add quality attirbutes to weapons? As it is at the moment, you'll have quality on a blunt blade before it's sharpened, and if you make a blunt sword it keeps the qaulity, but sharpening a blunt blade into a dull blade removes the quality since it's no longer a 'metalsmithing' item. I imageine the only exploit would be repairing the sword, but if you can make it retair durability when sharpened then that wouldn't be an issue. 

Either way I love the mod, thank you for making it!

I highly advice lowering the saturation of the fantasy ores

they kinda blinding to stare at for too long 

maybe lower the saturation by 50% ?

I've only worked with Mithril thus far, but it seems the workable temperature is set to all, so itr doesn't need to be heated up to work.

Hello, do you accept translations? I made one for Polish language.

and now the Unoff file is 0k in size, just a heads up.

You should push a version higher than 1.19.3, because currently 1-click install installs the unofficial version.  

Is the 1.1.5 update only for game version 1.18.15? (1.19.3 has been added to the supported version listing for 1.1.5, thank you Zolgrim)

Zolgrim

I've finally released Swordz (and more) 1.1.5 after working on it for more than a month , this update is of particular note due to it adding a bunch of new weapons as well as other things such as craftable stainless steel, titanium, and three new ores. This update MIGHT cause conflicts with certain other mods and might even cause the game to crash upon loading worlds if 1.1.5 is removed, please read the patchnotes and let me know on any new issues that might arise.

Firstly let me say thank you for taking the time to expand the weapons of VS I've thoroughly enjoyed your mod especially on a server where I play a weaponsmith. Keep up the good work and thank you very much. 

Having used the mod in both multi-player and single player I have noticed some aspects of the mod, at least in the bronze age going into Iron. Please note, I am not a coder nor do I understand the full workings of the VS combat and armour systems so my suggestions that are outlandish can be dismissed. 

1.) Tin Bronze Shortswords are S rank weapons, they are cheap to produce, have 530 durability, 2m range and deal 4.8 damage. However when compared to the honed Tin Bronze arming sword which has 500 durability, 2.8m range and deals 4.8 damage. It is clear that there needs to be a larger difference between the two. 

I am referring to the Honed arming sword as its the highest tier of that weapon, which I understand not everyone will have access to, however it is the best possible version of the weapon and will be compared to shortswords.

I would also like to add that the arming sword has a slower attack speed which is perfect, however perhaps an increase in damage would help accompany that effort into swinging. Alternatively perhaps a cleave effect for multiple enemies though this is a coding aspect which I have stated above my experience with.
I also think that arming swords should have higher damage overall as they are expensive weapons to make regardless of what materials are used, feel free to increase the damage of the steel arming sword to raise that cap. Perhaps from 4 to 7 as metals improve.

As it stands shortswords have a quick attack speed and high damage meaning they are the best DPS weapons in the Swordz mod I have found against drifters, players and beasts. I would recommend a decrease in damage of shortswords with copper starting at around 3 and working up to 5 as you get to steel. Shortswords shouldn't be equal to damage in falxs, they should be dealing slightly less because they swing faster and therefore have a higher DPS. I would also say remove grass cutting and butchery aspect from the shortswords to make seaxs more special. 

2.) Nadziaks and Bearded axes. A niche for doubling up as a weapon and a tool. As it stands its easier to make tools as they cost less in both Bronze and Iron ages so these weapons need to be a bit more damaging as I see little reason to invest a smithed ingot and nails for something that isn't doing much more damage than a tool. I would suggest either making them slower harder hitting weapons with some tool capability instead of weak damage weapon/tool hybrids. Increase damage and slow down attack speed to make them harder hitting and worth investment of nails. 

Bearded Axe: Slower attack speed, higher damage against unarmoured targets/ damage increase from 3 to 5 as metals improve

Nadziak: Slower attack speed, higher damage against armoured targets/ damage increase from 3 to 5 as metals improve. Increased durability to 500 to match Bearded Axe

3.) Warcsythes. Not worth the investment of a full tool, wrench and nails. Range is too low, I'd say bump to 2.8-3.2m. Remove cost of nails and it would be more viable as a long range lower damage weapon. Also like Nadziaks and Bearded axes, let it also still function as a tool. Would make it a little more viable. 

4.) Overall I am happy with the parts of the mod I have played with, I am yet to test all iron and steel weapons in survival, but no doubt I will return with feedback. Thanks once again for the hardwork.  

Yeah, all the weapon animations are fixed, and everything should work in 1.19 now :)

(Zwei has a semi-new anim now btw)

@pyrix

Did you ever test this to see if it does work with 1.19? Cause I am very sad that there's no other swords besides the fugly falx and I'd love to add this to the server if it still does

Just tested it out in a creative world, switching back and forth to survival mode, and forged an arming sword out of iron. It worked fine, using immersive camera also and it works fine. Just wanted to edit in case any one else wanted to know

Is this still working for 1.19?

Maxim_inc Added to the list

Is there any way you can add a Daneaxe?

I see that your currently using what appears to be European middevil weapon sets, any chance of eventually doing more exotic weapons like scimitars or katana style weapons?

Thank you so much. Its hard to find a fun weapons mod. Yours is by far my favorite. I can't wait to see if you come up with any other weapons. The Pila with a quiver would be amazing. I always prefered the spear option. Oh and it works on 1.19 just fine. The only weapon that I've seen an issue with is the Zweihander animation. But that can be worked around until you fix it. Once again thanks for all of the hard work. 

The mod should work with 1.19 but I will not be supporting or fixing any issues specifically within 1.19 as I and my server still use 1.18.15, I'm especially not going to try to fix anything involving an experimental feature.
With that said, I will attempt to fix animations at some point which should fix some of the issues with the immersive FP.

Loving this mod, will it be updated to 1.19?

Players on our server seem to be experiencing a similar issue to Vargur with the immersive first person view showing visible hair. Is there a possibility of an update that might fix this?

Tested this out a bit with the Immersive First-person option, it works well with a couple issues: it causes my player's hair to be visible in First-person view, partly blocking the view. Also since the Immersive First-P option uses all the Third-person animations, some of them don't make sense, like the Ranseur animation stabs towards the ground instead of straight ahead. I hope they can be worked out because all the weapons look great, and their animations are really nice with the immersive 1st option, I especially love having the large weapons leaning against the shoulder.

new arming sword model is cool

1.1.3 has a messer, I might add a großes messer in the future. ASILiara

I'm not sure how you'd make it interesting as a weapon, but I'd be rather interested in seeing a kriegsmesser added.

Is there anyway I can get these to work with Necessaries grindstone?

beagan Hafts in general need some refining, the arming sword model is the vanilla one and will (probably) be replaced at some point.

finally got a chance to test the mod, i love it. couple of requests, some wooden hafts for the mace would also be nice and maybe some crossguards like the zwei has but for the arming sword.

also a lil nitpick, i think the arming sword model is more akin to a bastard sword in blade and handle length if you would like a better name for it but also im just a dweeb. 🤓

thanks for the awesome mod its all i wanted.

Yes and no, It depends on a weapon to weapon basis. Overall I'm trying to balance things with vanilla in mind so Xskills compatability (or balancing) is really not high on my priority list at the current moment and some weapons such as the Zwei would likely be hilariously overpowered as a blackguard with Xskill's extra sword damage (The Zwei is in fact Xskills compatible). Tetsune

Does this have compatibility with XSkills?

Okay, thanks for reply.

Quartal It's due to how the mod/game is set up currently, it's on the list to fix eventually, for now I'm keeping it as is.

Shortsword as well as bearded axes don't have a weapon animation like arming sword for example, which makes them attack really fast Zolgrim

Fynneberg fixed in next update
Quartal not quite sure what you're asking here, do you mean first person?

Is there any way i could make shortswords etc. have a weapon animation or is it strictly bound to them being tools too?

There's a small problem with the bec de corbin crafting recipe, instead of the actual bec de corbin it just gives you back the bec de corbin head while consuming the other crafting materials. Great mod otheriwse!

This is incredible. Everything I have dreamed of in this game. Can't wait to see how it evolves and grows!

Good job. Of course, it is necessary to carry out work to the level of a perfectionist, but I think that the mod is worthy. I haven’t played with weapon mods yet, but next time (in half a year, when 1.19, patches and mods come out) I think I’ll try it. And while FSM mods are being developed to expand long-range weapons, I see you are working on melee weapons. Do you want to expand what the spear counterpart will be in future updates? Good idea. I really hope that the work will continue in the same direction and that you will be proud of your creation.

Bobosaw fixed.

Zach2039 was disabled as there wasn't any recipe calling for it yet, should have the conflict with polished slabs fixed though, let me know.

There might be recipe conflicts with polished rock slabs and whetstones. Also, the granite whetstone isn't craftable.

Hi again. After some testing it seems like the only item that is crashing the game when you look in the H guidebook is the rawhide mantle. As soon as you click it it crashes the game. Hopefully this helps.

Zolgrim

ASILiara Took it out , I'll put it back in, in the next update.

My game seems not to have registered the existence of the meteoric iron shortsword. Real shame, because I was hoping to put one together.

I have a suspicion that it isn't actually your mod that is the problem. Still more testing to do though

Zolgrim

I doubt Tyron will be adding stainless steel. Stainless steel is a modern convention and it is usually less durable than just carbon steel. Stainless is an alloy using chromium and in my experience with blades, it’s usually not as durable.

Zolgrim

This is a really great mod.

"Better textures (lol, lmao even)" 😂

Bobosaw I'm still using 1.18.15 and won't migrate over to 1.19 for a good while yet, hadn't known it was crashing but I did notice a few hours post-1.0.6 that there was a few goofs that I have now resolved for 1.0.7 , these should (hopefully) fix any sort of issues there. I'm going to postpone 1.0.7 as I want to add atleast 1 more weapon on the todo list before publishing.
Edit : 1.0.7 has been released, let me know if issues persist.

Probably not a problem, but I am playing in 1.19.0 rn and whenever I look up recipes that use the seax I CTD. Might be another mod though, will test more. Honestly I love this mod already. Can't wait for more content!

ASILiara Drifers are Tier 0, so higher tier doesn't equate to more damage on them, the only thing it currently affects (AFAIK) is PVP.
As far as damage values are concerned, I'm taking critiques, I'm trying to keep things fair/balanced but that might not always be possible. (E.G. The ruined bearded axe is 4.5 damage but my steel one is 4.0 , I'm under the assumption that whenever Tyron adds stainless steel, following the usual values that the metal progressions have had, the Stainless steel will be that 4.5 damage)
But on note of the shortsword, I was using the Blackguard shortsword as a baseline, The durability of the blackguard shortsword is +1 tier (meteoric) while being +2 tiers on damage (steel) despite being made of iron, The tradeoff to the shortsword is it has half a meter less range (so more likely to be hit) but it's also more expensive (currently 1 leather, might add a whetstone requirement).

Bobosaw Check newest update, LMK.

Couldn't help but notice that the shortsword is just more powerful than the falx, since it has more attack power and lets you butcher. Given that falxes are supposed to be specifically anti-drifter weapons, maybe shortswords and seaxes should have a lower damage tier to reflect that? I don't know if drifters have protection tiers at any level, is the thing.

That's valid tbh. Hats off to you King

Bobosaw Laziness, I make no promises but I might fix it in the next update or two.

Is there a reason why knife crafting recipes can't be used with seax? Not complaining too much, I just want a replacement for the ugly ass knives. 

goes hard

beagan Done.

Zweihander, you say 👀

please sir may i have some longsword

Bobosaw Grass & Cattails yes, recipes that call for a "knife" , no.

Do the seax's and short swords work like knives do with cattails and grass? Or do they only work to butcher? Will they also work in crafting recipes that use knives?

I love it, good job.
