Hello, I came back to Skyrim after a year and made a new character. I noticed only on this character all ranged weapon now have the rapid fire like the Polybolos. I checked the weapons on my other savegames and even the bound bow, but on everyone else it is fine.

Thank you so much @eveningztar !

Really happy that you like it! :D

I love this mod, thanks. Ive used it so much and often that the game cant really be played without it, in my humble opinion, this should be implemented into the game itself and the game would be improved considerably by it:)

Hmm, load order should not matter for this mod (unless another mod changes same location). If it works better now then I have no clue why but I am glad it does. ^^

okay so im not sure how this got them working, more or less, but i had to unsub from a mod (aetherium crafting) and i changed the load order of the this mod to move it closer to the top. doing so has got the features working properly now, though still a little buggy with the animations, which im blaming the RSE mod for the lag cos its quite resource intensive. sometimes when using cheiro itll give me the reload animation after just 2 shots, even though im still counting 8 shots for the actual reload to occur. maybe its advised for this mod to be higher in the load order to avoid any issues? not sure what couldve been causing me problems, but hope this helps if others have the same issue
FurioRosso May 21, 2021 @ 7:46pm 
its hard to say really, i have convenient horses which adds the whistling and horse call animations with the horns. but beyond that i cant think of any that change animations in anyway (or at least not that i remember, i have 64 mods currently), just new additions like convenient horses. all other mods are either armor, new weapons, change magic or perk system etc. after trying to use the crossbows, polybolos seems to be the only one less buggy for me. animation doesnt always show the reload, but cheiro is still behaving weird, idk when the reload is coming a couple times itll reload then immediately after fire another shot, which im pinning down to lag after few clicks
Ombudsman  [author] May 21, 2021 @ 3:27pm 
Strange... do you have any mods which affect animations in any way?
FurioRosso May 21, 2021 @ 1:54pm 
i dont know if anyone else is having this issue but the semi/automatic fire is bugging for me. with the polybolos and cheiroballistra they seem to choose when they reload by themselves rather than after a set number of shots fired, sometimes the cheiro will reload after just one shot. they dont behave the same way as what ive seen in the videos. and the automatic crossbow is firing in single shots. at first i thought it was an issue with the quickdraw perk but i realised i didnt have it, and still having the same issue with the quickdraw perk. bolt mags or normal bolts dont seem to change anything. i dont have any mods that could be conflicting with the scripting as this is the only one i have that affects archery and crossbows

I'll change the readme so it is more clear. C:
Brady Gunner Apr 29, 2021 @ 3:25am 
alright thanks
Ombudsman  [author] Apr 29, 2021 @ 12:31am 
It works standalone. That is just if you want to make your own automatic crossbows using the scripts.
Brady Gunner Apr 28, 2021 @ 11:39am 
"You need to unpack the BSA archive to get the scripts, use BSAOpt or download the mod from SkyrimNexus."

So this mod won't work as a standalone ?? Will the crossbows work with only this workshop download or no ?

Try subscribing again, this and Mavari and Contractor armor are fixed, those work fine for me again.
mrwwww Mar 12, 2021 @ 8:15am 
Tried the nexus mod, same issue.
Ombudsman  [author] Mar 12, 2021 @ 4:45am 
Strange... Has to be an Steam issue as I have not changed anything in this mod for quite a lot of years.
mrfonzie Mar 11, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
Get it from Nexus, works fine :) Mavari Armor from another author suddenly is corrupted too
mrwwww Mar 11, 2021 @ 1:32pm 
yep, mods corrupted for me, had to fresh install the game after unsubbing to get it to run
mrfonzie Mar 11, 2021 @ 12:07pm 
Hello as of today the mod seems broken showing an error when starting the game and here it shows 0 MB...

This looks like from Van or Ven Helsing 2004 Automatic crossbow vampire scene.
Gabriel Feb 9, 2020 @ 4:07am 
I dont mean with infinite bolts, but one where the burst doest stop untill u ran out of bolts
Ombudsman  [author] Feb 9, 2020 @ 1:48am 
Yes.
You always need to reload weapons, the Dwemer might have been good craftsmen but they could not conjure bolts out of thin air.
Gabriel Feb 8, 2020 @ 4:29pm 
it shows the automtic dwemer crossbow, is this it? I thought there was a fully automatic one, without realoading, nvm then, thanx
Ombudsman  [author] Feb 8, 2020 @ 2:51pm 
help automatic should find it.
Gabriel Feb 8, 2020 @ 2:50pm 
yeah, but i wanted to add it via console, and i cant find it with help command
Ombudsman  [author] Feb 8, 2020 @ 5:22am 
All blueprints can be found at Reachwind Eyrie.
Gabriel Feb 8, 2020 @ 2:36am 
how do i get the fully automatic one?
Ombudsman  [author] Feb 8, 2020 @ 2:24am 
Glad you like it!
Gabriel Feb 7, 2020 @ 6:01pm 
dude, i love the polybolos, dont increase it's dmg, it's perfect, even a bit op with sneak attack or enchantments, buy i loved it so much, i even have to download a mod to craft bolts because for some reason i couldnt
Gabriel Feb 4, 2020 @ 8:37am 
@J3X thanx
Ombudsman  [author] Feb 4, 2020 @ 8:11am 
@Gabriel
Type in 'help Cheiroballistra' 'help Polybolos' to get ID for them.

@Francis
Thanks! I hope to encourage other Skyrim players to continue working on it. Why not see if you can fix that issue yourself? It should be fairly simple! :D
Francis Feb 3, 2020 @ 7:55pm 
A www, I liked this mod, but you said you are done with modding. I was really hoping to get them improvable so a regular crossbow wasn't always superior.
Gabriel Feb 3, 2020 @ 3:21pm 
whats the code so i can add via console?
Koyotl Nov 27, 2019 @ 5:46am 
wish you could get them not gold

SAY HELO TO MA LIL FRIEND
Francis May 15, 2019 @ 8:32pm 
No improving them? Hard to get much use when a regular crossbow does 30x the damage with a single bolt.
ayrton_ May 1, 2019 @ 9:07am 
Thanks a lot , this is great action !!!
Xarxes Apr 24, 2019 @ 6:32am 
I had a problem the first time I went into Reachwind Eyrie, I had an automatic crossbow, but when I went in there all the other times, I didn't have one.

Oh, okay, thanks.
Ombudsman  [author] Jul 31, 2018 @ 11:48pm 
No, that is just if you want to create your own mod using the scripts in this ones.
Keulron Jul 31, 2018 @ 3:32pm 
So...question, if I want to craft the crossbows at a forge, do I need to follow these steps;


"1) Load up your mod as the active file (or create a new one) and j3x-autocrossbows.esp
2) Create copies of J3XCrossbowAutoSpell and J3XCrossbowAutoEffect, let's call them (1) and (2)
3) Make sure (1) is refering to (2) as it's effect.
4) Attach J3XCrossbowAutoScript to a crossbow of your choise, set the crossbowSpell property to (1).
5) Depending on the type of firing mechanics you want, change the script attached to (2) to another one.
5) Edit the properties of the script attached to (2) so it matches the desired clip size and firing speed.
6) Done! - Save and try it out!"?

You are welcome. Sometimes the patrols get lost or gets attacked by other actors.
Alma Armas Apr 5, 2018 @ 5:22am 
Yee I found it, thanks
Ombudsman  [author] Apr 4, 2018 @ 11:23pm 
In the console type in "help Cheiroballistra", this gives you the item ID for it. Can you find it?
