README

ImprovedCrossbows

Improves crossbows and makes them more fun to use, without turning them OP:

  • Running pauses your reload instead of cancelling it.
  • Reload progress shows as a ring around your crosshair.
  • The last crossbow you put away stays loaded, even after logging out.
  • Bolts fly toward your crosshair instead of landing low.
  • Recoil is halved.
  • Holding Block zooms in 2× with a loaded crossbow. You move at half speed, zoom faster with higher Crossbows skill, and zoom out when you shoot.
  • While zoomed, a red X warns you when a nearby obstacle would block your shot.
  • Zooming softly muffles sounds.
  • Sneak attacks with any weapon show a big damage number with the multiplier.

Settings

Every feature can be turned off, and the recoil, zoom strength, zoom move speed and ring opacity can be tuned: in-game with a config manager (F1) or in BepInEx/config/Iteravio.ImprovedCrossbows.cfg. The host's settings apply to everyone, except the muffle, reload ring and sneak number, which each player picks.

Compatibility

  • Everyone needs the mod, or they can't join.
  • Works with modded crossbows too.
  • Conflicts with other mods that change crossbow reloading, recoil or zoom.
