Rationale

During my first playthrough of Mistlands, the Arbalest fundamentally changed my experience of the game. I love that thing. On subsequent playthroughs I found myself wanting progression-appropriate crossbows to compliment the bows. So I made some 🙂

The reasoning behind the Lighting Bolts and Arrows is similar. I wanted a way to have some fun with Eitr that didn't demand I change armor and weapons.

Lastly, I added the Area Effect bolts to spice things up a bit, give the mod something fun outside the vanilla experience.

Installation

NOTE: Users that are upgrading should delete their config file and run the game to let the plugin generate a new one. Settings can and do change between versions, and old configs may be incompatible.

Manual

Un-zip MoreCrossbows.dll to your /Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.

Thunderstore (manual install)

Go to Settings > Import local mod > Select MoreCrossbows.zip.
Click "OK/Import local mod" on the pop-up for information.

Translations

This mod has full support for translations, but at the moment only has values for English & Russian. If you wish to add a translation, please do the following:

Copy the json file located at $your_valheim_folder/BepInEx/plugins/MoreCrossbows/Translations/English/english.json into a new directory within Translations
Name that directory the same as the language you wish to translate (refer to this list of languages; the name must be exact).
Change the values for all the json keys to what they should be.

Now when you run Valheim, it should see the translations automatically. Lastly, consider sending me the json file (via an issue on github or on discord). I'd like to add as many translations as I can. 🙂

Support me

I spend countless hours every day working on, updating, and fixing mods for everyone to enjoy. While I will never ask for anyone to pay me to make a mod or add a feature, any support is greatly appreciated!

Changelog

v1.2.3

Added customized gem effects for crossbows, loaded if and only if Jewelcrafting is installed. (This change is in tandem with a PR to Jewelcrafting itself, enabling gem effects for the arbalest.)
Slight adjustment to translation naming.
Russian translation added, thanks to Migilian!

v1.2.2

Minor fixes to config, enabled reloading when file changes or when config manager is used.

v1.2.1

Minor bugfix for Surtling bolt.

v1.2.0

Added new AOE bolts
General configuration overhaul.
Damage is now configurable. Defaults are balanced well for vanilla, but those who play on higher-difficulty servers or in radically different environments can now tweak the damage to suit their needs.
Localization updates. Plugin now writes default translations to disk, allowing users to modify/add languages.

v1.1.2

Fixed minimum table level requirement defaults for the later crossbows.
Texture fixes for all crossbows, should now have a more pixelated look, just like all vanilla valheim weapons.

Repo move to accommodate other mod plugin projects.
Minor balance adjustments to crossbow damage.
Increased default create and update costs for Iron, Silver and Blackmetal xbows.
Updated build targets for BepInEx and Jotunn.
