📋 About This Mod

Provides the ability to disable auto-parry, with QoL fixes for things like the jittery head bobbing and hair/helmet visibility for the first-person camera, camera smoothing options, and adjusting the shoulder camera offset.

Description

Note: For the Demo, you must disable the Tutorial Dummy (Options > Game > Tutorial Dummy) if you experience crashing on the press of "Play Demo!".This mod aims to improve the combat experience and camera behavior in Half Sword, supporting both Early Access and Demo. It disables the intrusive auto-parry mechanic by default (the feature that guides your weapon into defending position when being swung at) to give you full control over your arms. The first-person camera has been stabilized to prevent excessive head bobbing and jittering. You can also hide your character's hair and equipped helmets in first-person so they don't block your vision. Additional tweaks include a custom field-of-view override, optional smooth turning, and adjustments to the third-person shoulder camera distance and offset for a better view.

Adjusting Settings

You can easily tweak or disable any feature by editing the configuration at the top of the script file. Navigate to HalfswordUE5\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\ImmersiveCombat\Scripts\main.lua, open it in any text editor, and modify the CONFIG table. If the game is running, use the UE4SS GUI console to click "Restart All Mods" and apply changes immediately.

Installation

Automatic:

1. Download the mod.

2. Extract the zip file and AutoInstall script to a folder.

4. Open the game!

Manual:

1. Download the latest UE4SS experimental release.

If you're looking to create mods, download the one beginning with 'zDEV'. If you just need to download mods, you can get the (usually first) .zip file beginning with 'UE4SS'.2. Extract the contents of the zip (the ue4ss folder and dwmapi.dll) to the game's executable directory at <your game directory>\Half Sword\HalfswordUE5\Binaries\Win64.

Default path for Steam is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half Sword\HalfswordUE5\Binaries\Win643. Download this mod and extract the ImmersiveCombat folder into HalfswordUE5\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\.

4. Run the game. If the console doesn't appear, you can enable it in the section of UE4SS-settings.ini. If the console GUI is blank, change GraphicsAPI in that file to dx11.
