Incompatible with other gun mods and advanced trajectory overhaul

is this compatible with remastered kitsunes crossbow mod?

Hi, Do I need this mod with your mod ?

https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830364476&searchtext=bow+and+arrow+alterna

This is a great addition of a great mod that adding more realism into the pz. Too bad the drawing doesn't consume any stamina which does breaks the immersion for a little lol

@Lynaerys did you every get it figured out? Im having the same issue for some reason

theres this specific mod called weapon modifiers. it doesnt work well with this mod. can you fix

@Lynaerys I'm not sure what the problem might be. How this mod is supposed to work is that you hold down the fire button for long enough that the "draw sound" finishes playing, then let go of the button to loose the arrow. If you only press the fire button for a short time before you release (like if you click the mouse button), you'll only get a short burst of the sound, and it won't fire. Could that be what you're experiencing?

The other thing to note is that this mod requires that you're using the original Bow and Arrow mod by Gluten the Sensitive, not the "Alternative Drawing" mod by Chill Down (which has the same mod ID as the original, so Steam and Zomboid can believe that you're fulfilled this mod's prerequisites if you're using the wrong version). If you have Chill Down's mod, you'll need to unsubscribe from it.

i don't get it. i've got this mod+bow and arrow mod, i can notch an arrow, aim, but when i "fire", there is only the sound of an empty gun being triggered and nothing happens ><
What did i miss?

'Brutal Handwork'(2208315526) has an issue with this mod. The issue is detailed on the workshop page for the OG Bow and Arrow mod(2208315526)...:

"There is compatibility issue with Brutal Handwork mod. Having both at the same time makes bow simply not work. Character tries to shoot it like a gun (with muzzle flash, but no sound) and then nothing happens. Brutal Handwork mod page does say that it's incompatible with mods that "modify AttackHook", so this must be the issue."

@Philippus You have to nock an arrow (using the reload key - "r" by default) before you can fire it. At low Archery skill (and if in a panic or tired) it takes a while to nock the arrow, but it gets faster with higher skill. That's all from the base Bow and Arrow mod.

IRL if you draw and release a bow without nocking an arrow, you're "dry firing" it. Doing so expends all the energy in the bow instead of transferring it to the arrow, which is bad for the bow (which is why this mod damages the bow if you do that).

If your bow has lost durability because of dry firing, you can unstring it, craft a fresh bowstring and string it with the undamaged bowstring to repair it.

I have arrows in my inventory and my bow equipped.

When trying to shoot, I get a message that I don't have any arrows.

How do I equip arrows?

@Chill down
I am archer. That's doesn't help. And no I don't dry fire with my crossbow

@Mandaløre ask any archer if they will END you if you dry fire their bow

@Zufuru If you're missing a file on the client side, your best bet is probably to force Steam to re-download the mod by unsubscribing and re-subscribing.

hola, ayuda me tira error file doesn't existe on client: scripts/bowandarrownsound.txt

@Mandaløre The localization issues with FR and RU should be fixed with the latest version.

yep my mistake

Ah, which is French for "translation" - that makes sense :) Thanks!

traduction

@Mandaløre Thanks for the heads up! I'm not sure what you mean by "trad" though... is that short for "traditional"?

So are you saying that it's using the Spanish text when someone runs the game with French or Russian localisation?

attackData.weapon:setCondition(attackData.weapon:getCondition() - 1)

I changed to 1 because 4 dry shoots to break the bow seems unrealistic but its not working in game

same for RU russian trad

there is a mistake in your french translate. Its writed ES intead of FR and trad doesn't show in game

@MariusTitus Thanks for the confirmation!

@U-boat[BY] You need to craft arrows using the right-click context menu on any of the ingredients, rather than using the crafting interface. Unfortunately the base mod has changed things you can't just create a complete arrow in a single operation, you have to add the arrowhead to a shaft and the fletchings to a shaft as two separate crafting steps.

Do i only one having problem with arrows crafting, there are no recipe for them, i can still craft parts like arrowheads and shafts but they don't in use anywhere.

The riflebow thing was always a thing in MP, comes from base mod

@Rozmer I'm sorry, I haven't done much testing in MP. I've seen the thing where the bow model appears rotated 90° forwards - is that what you mean? That corrects itself locally when you start to draw the bow, but I don't know if that's shared over the network, so perhaps in MP other people continue to see the bow like that? Is that what's happening?

Does it only happen with this mod, or does it happen with just the base Bow and Arrow mod as well?

@RobRendell first of all thanks for your work. I have a question has there been any way to fix the other players in Multiplayer seeing when you hold the bow as if it were a rifle? I haven't found any info on this but it seems to be a bug being experienced on my server.

@RobRendell Yes the other Drawin mod was still installed. Now the bow is working fine but Bow & Arrow mod give me 1 or 2 errors and i don't know how to deal with. But thanks for your answer !

@Easyss @Wetto That sounds like you might still have Chill Down's Bow and Arrow Alternative Drawing mod installed? Chill Down's mod uses the same mod ID as the original Bow and Arrow mod by Gluten the Sensitive, which means that subscribing to both Chill Down's and Gluten the Sensitive's mods can confuse Zomboid - you can't disable one and enable the other like you can with mods with distinct Mod IDs.

Check that you're unsubscribed from Chill Down's Bow and Arrow Alternative Drawing mod, so its files aren't in your Workshop folder, and that you're subscribed to Gluten the Sensitive's Bow and Arrow mod, and then give this mod another try.

Same, the bow (not the one crafted) doesn't shoot arrows & act like a gun. Any solution sir ?

it doesnt shoot the arrow but uses it and it acts like a gun.

Aaah, thanks.

@MariusTitus The reloading time is actually controlled by the base Bow and Arrow mod, not this add-on, which just changes the drawing time. The time to *draw* the bow drops as your skill increases, no matter what your panic level is.

I agree that being panicked possibly overly penalises your reload time, but that's something you'd need to discuss with Gluten the sensitive who maintains the base mod.

Howdy. I like the way you made this, great stuff. However, could the "reloading" be bit faster? It is somewhat slow by default, and once your survivor hits big panic levels it takes him like 10m of game time to reload, which really kills the flow and makes the bow pretty useless. Compared with kitsune crossbows they always come up on top because of this.

@RobRendell Mouse and keyboard work fine for me, it's just with a controller. No clue how fixable that is but makes playing over remote play a pain lol

@La Gran Barba You can repair the bow by unstringing it, throwing away the old damaged bowstring, and stringing it with a fresh bowstring. To get the compound ("scorpion") bow, you can either start a game with the Archer trait, or add the Bow and Arrow Add-on (QoL) mod, which adds Bow and Arrow items (including the better bow) to the loot tables for places like army surplus and camping stores.

@J O N Make sure you've deleted (not just disabled) Chill Down's Alternative Drawing mod, and just have Gluten the sensitive's Bow and Arrow mod installed (plus this one if you want the alternative drawing UX)... the base Bow and Arrow mod has updated since Chill Down's was made, and I suspect that you might have fletchings from the Alternative Drawing mod.

@ParasiticSquid I haven't released a new version recently, so it must have been from unsubscribing from Chill Down's mod. Great to hear that you've solved that issue!

The arrow firing in a strange direction when you're using a controller and not aiming at a zombie is an issue with the base Bow and Arrow mod, I believe. I've even had it happen occasionally when using mouse and keyboard.

@RobRendell Unsubscribing from chill downs version allows me to fire the bow with a controller, either that or you updated and fixed that. Weirdly enough im not sure how they could use the same id when both were in the modlist like normal and I only had the original enabled. Any other mods using the same id would just overlap and not appear last I saw.

But being able to fire it now is good and all but had a weird issue whenever I do by the arrow flying behind me of all things or in the wrong direction. Wasn't aiming at a zombie so might of been that I fired it without doing that since chill downs fired north if not aiming at a zombie every time. Just odd

This mod peaked my interest a while back and i havent enable this mod yet
but i cant seem to make arrows because the Fletchings keep saying "(You Should Not See This)"

I was wondering how i can fix this mid game or at all

Hi, how are you? Two questions:
1) Can you repair the bow?
2) How do you get the "compound bow"?

@RobRendell
Thx a lot =3

@Jinaie There seems to be a conflict between the base Bow and Arrow mod and Brita's which causes shooting arrows to be much louder than it should be. The mod sets the noise from shooting a bow to about 4 tiles, but I gather that with Brita's it somehow becomes 104 tiles. That's something that needs to be fixed in the base Bow and Arrow mod though (or possibly in Brita's), not in this one.

Do bow have sound ? cause i can tell in my server i arrow equivalent to an rpg agro
