📋 About This Mod
In 2022 got back to playing KCD and I shouldn't have added the lockpicking feature and the added inv space. Should have removed those from the file but I was too lazy. Hence I consider this mod outdated but will keep it as it is for those who still want to download it.
1 - Edited the bow mechanics so it sways much less and more slowly, which makes more sense than no sway at all or too much sway, can be aimed for longer, takes less time to aim and shoot. So further shots are easier to make but still require skill to be effective.
2 - Arrows have a more realistic travel speed, range, gravity, and has a bit more damage because of the stated changes, the damage also applies to the enemy bows. The arrows also are affected by wind and will drag a bit, this made archery much more fun for me. can be used with the reticle (but remember, it's affected by wind as well, it's quite fun to hit a far target on a windy day, it travels about 2 meters or so at a 100 meters).
3 - Made lockpicking easier but it's still a minigame, lowered the vibration and the vibration speed
Made two types of arrow flights:
Fast type: One is faster, has more acceleration, does more damage because of its speed, but has more drag.
Slow type: The other is a bit slower, less acceleration, but has less drag, does a bit less damage than the above, but still more than vanilla.
Both are affected by wind and have the same values but might act differently.
Less sway makes it easier to play with the bow and more fun, you don't need the showfirecursor command at all even for distant shots.
(also as a plus changed the default max inv space from 100 to 160)
