Soulcatcher Crossbow Fix

Soulcatcher Crossbow Fix

⚠️ TEMPORARY PATCH MOD ⚠️ This is a client-side patch for Soulcatcher JC KG Additions that fixes broken crossbow-related gem effects.

The patch will be removed immediately once the original mod author fixes the issue upstream.

---

What does this fix?

In the current version of Soulcatcher JC KG Additions, the following gem effects for crossbows are defined but not applied correctly:

• Hare Soul Power – damage bonus ❌
• Dverger Soul Power – reload speed bonus ❌

This patch restores the intended behavior:

• 🐇 Hare Soul Power → increases crossbow damage
• 🧙 Dverger Soul Power → reduces crossbow reload time

✅ Works with vanilla and modded crossbows ✅ Supports multiple crossbows (skill-based + prefab name fallback) ✅ Fully tested in real gameplay ⚠️ Must be installed on every client (this is a client-side fix)

FAQ

Q: Does this work on dedicated servers?

Yes, but it must be installed on all clients. This patch intentionally runs client-side to ensure consistent behavior.

Q: Will this conflict with future updates?

Possibly. This patch is meant to be temporary and will be removed once the upstream mod is fixed.

Q: Why not patch server-side?

Because reload timing and attack flow for crossbows are partially client-driven in Valheim. This approach proved to be the most stable and reliable.
