📋 About This Mod

Marksman combat shouldn't feel like melee with extra reach.

Spiritual successor of my Headshots mod.

Archers should control the battlefield through positioning and distance, while warriors should dominate close combat. Your goal is simple: keep your distance and land your shots.

Feature List

Lua Mechanics

Combat Mechanics (affects only the player)

  • []Damage multiplier based on attack distance (does not affect thrown weapons)[/]

    []Headshot damage multiplier[/]

    []Marksman skill gain scaled with the final damage multiplier[/]

    []Marksman debuff while moving[/]

    []Marksman buff while sneaking[/]

Fatigue System (affects only the player)

  • []Bows drain fatigue when drawing the bowstring[/]

    []Bows drain fatigue when holding the bowstring too long[/]

    []Crossbows drain fatigue when reloading[/]

    []Throwing weapons drain fatigue when they are thrown[/]

Ammo Economy Rebalance

  • []Custom chance for ammunition to stick into the victim

    []Bows / Crossbows - 25%[/]

    []Thrown weapons - 75%[/]

AI Behavior (optional, requires Arrow Stick)

And, of course, every value is configurable.

GMST Edits

    Feature Details

    Headshots

    A headshot counts if an actor is hit within the top 85% of their bounding box. Not every creature can be headshot, but most humanoid-looking actors can, including:

    • []NPCs[/]

      []Creatures that can wield weapons[/]

      []Humanoid creatures[/]

      []Daedra[/]

      []Undead[/]

      []Everyone else who is manually whitelisted[/]

    The detection list is mostly dynamic, so some modded creatures might produce false positives from time to time. If you notice something missing, feel free to report it.

    Compatibility

    Safe to install, update, or delete mid-playthrough.

    Compatible with any mods.

    If there is a mod in your modlist that affects the fProjectileThrownStoreChance GMST, BullseyeGMSTs.omwaddon needs to be loaded after it. While it is not critical, you might experience ammo duplication in corpses. TL;DR: load BullseyeGMSTs.owaddon after any combat-affecting mods or simply last.

    Load Order

    Mods which need to be loaded after Bullseye:

    Soft Incompatibilities

    • []Headshots by me - Already implemented here[/]

      []Sneak Attack Buff (OpenMW Lua) by Solthas - Bullseye penalizes for bowstring holding and SAB rewards. Though, it can be changed in settings[/]

      []Projectile Overhaul - Modular by Mr. Magic - "Faster Projectiles" and "Recovery Chance" modules will override the GMST changes made by Bullseye if loaded after the Bullseye. Same goes for the merged version[/]

    Requirements

    • []Arrow Stick 1. 5 or newer - Optional, load order doesn't matter[/]

    Supported Mods (Headshots)

    Headshot black- and whitelists can be expanded by creating new .yaml files in scripts/Bullseye/config. Here's a schema example:

    # all fields are optional

    whitelisted_models:

    - pc_minotaur_01

    - pc_minotaur_02
