MoreCrossbows

A Valheim mod which adds several crossbows and bolts.

Features

Progression-appropriate crossbow options for every 'age'. New bolts to provide direct elemental damage. New recipes for crafting the existing bolts from Workbench or Forge. Brand new Area Effect bolts, based on the ooze & bile bombs, but includes fire and ice as well.

Detailed list of new items

Wooden crossbow Bronze crossbow Iron crossbow Silver crossbow Blackmetal crossbow Wood bolt Fire bolt Ooze bolt (change config to enable) Surtling bolt (change config to enable) Poison bolt Silver bolt Frost bolt Ice bolt (change config to enable) Lightning bolt (change config to enable) Lightning arrow (change config to enable) Bile bolt (change config to enable) Flametal bolt (change config to enable)

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:

1. Copy the json file located at $your_valheim_folder/BepInEx/plugins/MoreCrossbows/Translations/English/english.json into a new directory within Translations
2. Name that directory the same as the language you wish to translate (refer to this list of languages; the name must be exact).
3. 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. 🙂
