📋 About This Mod

This mod add new weapons (Silver Bowblade).

Silver Bowblade is based on the idea of "Simon's Bowblade" from "Bloodborne DLC".

Normally, it will be in bow mode.

With a bash attack, it transforms alternately into bow mode and sword mode.

If you are using the "Bow Charge Plus", please use the "Silver BowBlade(Bow Charge Plus)".

If you install the new version with the weapon of this mod equipped, please remove the weapon and re-equip it.

If you do not do this, the update will not take effect.

Dynamic Animation Replacer

SKSE64

Changed to keep sword mode.

Requires skse64.

The state changes as follows.

Bow mode -> bash -> sword mode -> bash -> bow mode -> ....

Sword mode:" Right attack" will do left attack, "Left attack" will do bash attack (transform).

Note 1:

The sword mode uses a script to force the bow's "bowdraw" to turn into sword attacks. Since it is only a bow attack, it will improve your bow skills.

If you use a combat mod with "360°" movement (such as TDM) in sword mode, you will momentarily face forward when attacking.

This is because the "bowdraw" is detected at the start of the attack.

・ About movement motion in sword mode

Sword mode uses vanilla one-handed sword movement motion.

If you want to change the movement motion to your liking, rename it to the following file and Overwrite it.
