Not a big deal, but I am retrieving more bolts than I brought with me.

Point blank support? Thats literally all this mod was missing. Bless your lil' fingers.

@我是一个小菜坤 maybe added a patch for it, seems to work if you put this mod after point blank in the load order

This mod seems to conflict with Point Blank, as I noticed that crossbows deal no damage when both are enabled. When I disabled this mod, the crossbow worked normally again. Hopefully, compatibility can be added in the future... 😕

@Onepunch_Bonnie, @exoduss123 should be fixed now

@inpenetrablegash i might have made item spawn chance too low, will maybe increase it in the future

yeah mod is now breaking sound with guns

I don't think this mod is actually working, I have never found a crossbow or crossbow related item/skillbook.

Tested after you updated the mod and it now breaks the sound of other firearms, makes them silent as if they were suppressed or use the sound of crossbow

Checked with only your mod enabled.

OK

@Paradox try redownloading the mod sometimes it works

@我是一个小菜坤 maybe a mod overrides the same function as this one and it bugs out, will try to fix this in the future

@SDgamer i didn't add it yet because its missing it's model and i don't make those i only do code and textures, zer0 is the one who makes the models and he won't make anything till they readd MP(he plays MP only) so could be during unstable if it re-releases during it

Even with this being the only mod on, nothing shows up.

That's really strange... If you only have this mod installed, attacks deal damage normally. But when multiple mods are involved, it stops working — does anyone know why?

Pardon me asking but, are waiting for Stable to come out or are you adding the Mag Fed Crossbow durring Unstable? As someone who likes the Urban Survival style of game play i really do need a crossbow like that

@OxTailSafu i tthink you could but since most cans of that type are made from aluminum it's very bendable unlesss its a thick sheet so it's penetration wouldn't be as good as the other ones that is if it could penetrate at alll

Yeah no worries! I absolutely love this mod, so I've just been throwing the tin cans. Do you think it'd make sense to allow soda cans to be used as well for arrow heads?

@OxTailSafu i might have forgot to make it consume in the recipe, sorry but i have no pc rn so i can't really do anything until around next week when it is supossed to be fixed so i guess just throw the cans in the trash? will fix when i have my pc again

I wanted to report a bug regarding making a Crossbow Bolt Head with Tin Cans. It looks like the recipe isn't consuming the cans so you can make an infinite amount of ammo from them.

@stevenpiamba96 maybe? i haven't used that mod but some people reported some things from this will behave wierdly when using rains, like bolts duping when killing zombies, or not being able to convert attachments

@浟伊 maybe will remove it from the crude crossbow recipe but it's definitelly needed for the other ones, also forgot to add the stone drill as a possible tool

Helloooo, Can I use B42 Rain's Firearms & Gun Parts mod at the same time as this mod?

Hand drills are really hard to find. Can we replace them with other tools?

Thanks for the fix!

@HergenDergen that's from back when i tried making them have actual reload time but seems like it's tied to animations, only way that i could think of to increase it would be with a custom reload animation which is currently out of my skill level

@Davlon_Valavaern will add a way to make bolt heads with metal in the future

Thanks for getting it working! It's so sick having a crossbow mod in B42 again!

I've noticed after poking around in the scripts and Lua files that each crossbow + String/Wire type has it's own bespoke reload speed value, but after some testing in game in an isolated context, every crossbow and string type is currently reloading at the same speed, even after changing the ReloadTime value in the scripts folder to different values, the reload speed doesn't seem to change in game despite the Show Weapons Stats Plus mod reflecting the altered values.

I would love to know if there's any way to get those bespoke reload speeds from the PWPNXB_crossbowsWire & PWPNXB_crossbowsTwines' ReloadTime values to work as the current blanket reload speed allowing around 1 shot a second feels a little fast/powerful at the moment.

Thank you for the fix.

I do have to say, I'm not a fan of needing to use stone heads on wooden bolts now, instead of being able to make them with scrap metal. I think having both as an option would be better.

Cheers for the update, for some reason it only started working when I resubscribed, but I'm happy, got my crossbow back!

same

In the debug, it shows the error is found in shared/TimedActions/ISReloadWeaponAction.lua, shared/TimedActions/Firearms_ISReloadWeaponAction.lua, shared/TimedActions/PWPNXBReloadWeaponAction.lua.

Yep, it's busted right now. :(

@OxTailSafu will take a look into it something might have changed on the last zomboid patch

@OxTailSafu me to.
After 42.9 update

Anyone else having issues with being unable fire a crossbow? I end up getting an error while using these 2 mods here.

@kelenas_sarkeen it is planed to add a recycle broken wood bolts recipe which will always drop wood shavings while also giving back bolt heads and fletchings with a chance based on your maintenance level also metal bolts too but that will just give scrap metal to melt down into other stuff

Any chance to make broken crossbow bolts useful in some way? Maybe add a recipe that recovers some bolt-heads, making it somewhat easier to craft replacements? Or make it so they can be used as fuel in ovens, fires, and the like?

@penni will take a look into it, might have bugged with the new update

I cant seem to reload the "Crude Crossbow (wire)" i've tried using short and normal wooden bolts as well as setting the crossbow to shoot wooden arrows

In fact when I just did "use short wood bolts in hand crossbow" it vanished my hand crossbow x_x

Can anyone get the hand crossbow to work? I can't get mine to load metal bolts. I have 24 short metal bolts in inventory and short wooden bolts, it won't load either.

I can confirm I found which mod is causing the bolt duplication. Its advanced Trajectory realism overhaul

@dodon1465 will look into this bug further, i think its something to do with the zombie dying event so i'd look for mods that change zombies or zombies loot in some way

@SDgamer probably will some day, i kind of already have some models for scrap guns, just need to add it into the game

Anyone ever figure out what mod is making bolts duplicate when you kill zomboids? Its not the worst bug. I guess I could just only pick up one bolt from the body, and pretend the other one didn't spawn lol.

Since you made the Tinkar mod and this awesome Crossbow mod, do you have plans to make a scrap gun mod? I doubt the Scrap Gun Add-on for The Workshop mod is getting updated again

@Noisy Koi it's not actually a "muzzle flash" since i've removed that(problably why this mod won't work with some gun mods), but the bullet trace still generates light, if there was muzzle flash you'd see it lighting up twice on a dark room, one from the bullet and the other from the muzzle, i kinda like your idea of using bolts as weapons, but idk if weapons can use other weapons as ammo(would require me to change bolts from ammo to weapons in the code), and i imagine using wood bolts as a melee it would probably break from the first few hits unless you hit it perfectly straight and it doesn't hit something hard like a bone, metal bolts arguably better but would probably be dull after some swings, so maybe some day i'll add tnat

also it'd be cool if we could equip bolts as "short blade" weapons, perhaps with a guaranteed chance to stick in an enemy when used in melee?

just noticed the crossbow has muzzle flash when fired in low light.

@상자 yeah the metal bolts bolts are only on forge for now, when i updated this mod for b42 i haven't even played it so its somewhat unbalanced right now, i've been working on a new patch to rebalance some things and also add more recipes like knap bolt heads and file down metal bars into metal bolts

Wait. I don't see a recipe for making metal bolts in the crafting tab, which maybe I can make them at the blacksmith! I wish you had mentioned that in the description.

Very cool. But I think it would be better if there was a description that shows the individuality of each item. Below is the result that I checked.

Comparing the hand and improved crossbow
Attack power, range is higher in the improved crossbow, but

Weight 1.6 vs 2.0
Magazine 5 vs 1
One-handed vs Two-handed
Pistol holster possible vs impossible

Hand crossbow is better for general use. I think the improved one is better for hunting.
I haven't made the crude version. It's almost the same difficulty as the improved version.
It seems like the compound bow is an item that can't be made. I'm thinking of searching places like the hunter's house. Thx for the mod.

@Noisy Koi i have, i just don't know how to make clothes yet, if i someday learn how to, the quiver will probably be the first one i will make

have you considered adding a quiver? would be great as a belt equipped "bag" or even better if it added a new rear belt slot for the quiver

@pallontras I'll try to figure out which one is causing the issue so you can list it as incompatible on your mod page then
