📋 About This Mod

Swap between weapons with a button combination. Based on Arctal's mod.

Last year, Arctal made the wonderful Simple Weapon Swap mod. I really like the idea of being able to swap weapons for my mod Weaponlord, but I wanted to make a few tweaks and fixes to it. So I made this. Check the original mod description for details on how it works.

Differences with Simple Weapon Swap

  • []You can't change the hotkey. It's always Switch Weapon Skill plus either Sheathe/Unsheathe or Grab. So, they're the same controls as Rearmament in my Dullahan mod. This means there's no mod menu to interact with.[/]

    []Weapon swap no longer happens while in active dialogue (consequence of the previous change).[/]

    []The system gets completely disabled if you're playing Warfarer.[/]

    []You can no longer cancel animations with the weapon swap. It can only happen when you'd otherwise be able to use a skill or attack. Note that this mod replicates vanilla input buffering to a T, so it still feels good to use.[/]

    []The issue where the weapon gets sheathed the first time you pause after swapping has been fixed.[/]

    []The behavior of the swap slot around shields is a bit more straightforward.[/]

    []Weapon swap FX now correctly plays on bows and magick bows.[/]

    []There are config options at the start of the script to set whether you want the unsheathe animation, weapon FX, and body FX to play when swapping weapons.[/]

I haven't tested the mod with No Job Requirements, so I don't know if any of my changes will cause issues if using that. This was made primarily with the purpose of having two different Weaponlord weapon effects at your disposal. Note that with shields, the inventory menu still shows the wrong shield equipped sometimes.

Known issue (will be fixed eventually)

If you put a weapon that's in your swap slot in storage then swap to it, it'll become permanently locked in storage until NG+. So please change that slot to another weapon before storing a weapon.

Arctal for the original mod, obviously. Even though my changes are small it was hard to change anything without breaking 10 other things. I can't imagine how hard it must've been to figure out all of the edge cases to begin with.
