📋 About This Mod
To use with Ciri 的强化剑和替换冬季之刃模型次世代在巫师 3 Nexus - 模组和社区 (nexusmods.com), delete the script "r4Player.ws" for one of the mod.
Based on 1. 32 and 4. 0 Next-Gen
Iris and Aerondight Enhanced Attributes
Increased the healing effect of "PC Caretaker Shovel"
Iris added burning effect
Aerondight Added freezing effect
1. 5a:Optimized structure to make it easier to merge with other mods;
Add "Aerondight" electric shock effect when killing enemies with a full charge, add Bleeding effect and enhance the effect of SlowdownFrost;
The "Iris" burn effect was removed because it was affecting the original knock down or shoot down shield effect, and add "Bleeding" and "Stagger" effects. Level reduced by 2, base damage increased, now the same as Knight Steel Sword base damage.
Hidden effect description, but can still trigger in combat.
If you want to use the old version of the effect, you just need to update the script.
I made two versions, 1. 4a and 1. 4b;
Modified script: "r4player.ws", "Phantomweaponmanager.ws", "Aerondight.ws", "Inventorymanager.ws"
Contents to be modified:
Co-modified "Iris" steel sword charging mechanism, now only requires a light attack to recharge. When the blade turns red, inflicting additional damage no longer consumes the user's Vitality. "Aerondight" silver sword charging mechanism, light attack points add 2 points, heavy attack points add 3 points; When the charge point is higher than 1, the power increases instead of decreasing when it takes damage. When the damage increase has not reached the maximum limit, the sword with full energy only uses half of its energy to kill the enemy.
For bloodsucking effects, the "green light" and "dangdang" noise have been removed, and now only "PC Caretaker Shovel" has visual effects and sound effects.
The 1. 4a panel is the same as 1. 3, except the level 37 required for "Iris" has been changed to 35.
1. 4b panel has been modified to increase the critical hit probability and critical hit damage, which is different from "Aerondight" and each has its own advantages. Iris base damage increased from 399 to 454, but level has not changed.
我制作了两个版本,1. 4a和1. 4b;
修改的脚本:“r4player.ws”、“Phantomweaponmanager.ws”、“Aerondight.ws"、"Inventorymanager.ws"
共同修改了“Iris”钢剑充电机制,现在只需要一次轻攻击即可充满。当刀身转为红色时,打出额外的伤害时不再消耗使用者的生命值。“Aerondight”银剑充电机制,轻攻击点数加2点,重攻击点数加3点;当充能点数高于1点时,受到伤害的时候,能量不再减少而是增加。在攻击力增加未达到上限时,充满能量的剑击杀敌人时,能量只消耗一半。
关于吸血效果,移除了“绿色的光”和“dangdang”的噪音,现在仅限看门人的铲子具有视觉特效和音效。
1. 4a的面板和1. 3一样,只是“Iris”所需要的等级37改为35.
1. 4b面板做了修改,增加了暴击概率和暴击伤害,和“Aerondight”做了差异化,各有优势。“Iris”基础伤害从399提高到454,但是等级未作改变。
