RELEASED Weaponised Bows - More damage and more loot (Archive)

Now you can craft weaponised versions of all hunting bows, and a couple more that don't exist yet!
This means that you no longer get an inventory full of meat and leather when all you want is PIXELS,
among other items of course. This mod does not replace any existing items, but the upgrades and
resource requirements match the hunting bows in parallel.

The latest version supports Tabula Rasa and the latest modding file structure.

Instructions

Simply extract this zip archive into your /Starbounds/mods folder and you are ready to go. The modding
scene and functionality is constantly shifting and is definitely unfinished, so installing multiple mods
with changes to the player.config is going to be difficult for me to support.

- Tabula Rasa -

A solution which i have chosen to support, is a pretty handy new crafting table called the Tabula Rasa.
It allows you to cook a torch in a campfire to make a new crafting table. This table does not require you
to know any blueprints so all of the items i have added will show up for you. The legacy crafting options
are still in place, so once you pick up the items from the Tabula Rasa, you will learn the blueprints.

If Tabula Rasa is not up to date yet, you can add a .modinfo file for it and put it into the mods folder
with absolutely no problems. There's details on the forums if you need them.

- IMPORTANT -

The player.config file is optional, and i highly recommend you to use the Tabula Rasa. However, if you need
to install multiple mods manually, you can add the following line to your /Starbound/assets/player.config
inside your tier1 defaultBlueprints list.

{ "item" : "weaponisedbow" },

If you are using the Tabula Rasa, feel free to delete the player.config i have provided.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you properly uninstall any files added by older installations of this mod. Due to the new modding
structure, we can all put our files in one unified directory. If you try to launch the game with duplicate
items of the same name, the loading screen will crash and will never stop loading. Be sure to check your
starbound.log to debug any problems you encounter.

Updates / License

I have no plans to update this mod so if it falls out of date, you are welcome to take
this mod and use it for your own purposes. You are free to include it in any mod packs.

You must credit me for all the files you use.

Good luck,

Hi Xu, i have a question. What's the difference with hunting bows and your bows? I compared your bows with vanilla hunting bows, i can't understand which line tells the game that it should drop leather/meat or money. Is it inside the .gun files, or .projectile maybe?

 

I can answer this question. The difference is governed by the bows damage type (or was it the projectiles) - changing it to default gives default drops.

 

Thanks.

 

Damn, someone beat me to my idea

 

Yeah, it took a bit of research to figure it out. If you want to create a new loot table, you have to modify the .monstertype files. These are the files that link the damageKind to the .treasurepool files.

 

The latest version supports Tabula Rasa and the latest modding file structure.

Ive updated the installation instructions and some other useful information. Ive also added these mods to the official mod library. Any further updates or discussion will probably be done there.
