7/7/21: My apologies, but I haven't been doing any F4 modding for quite a while now. Between not having F4 installed, the old selection menu not working, and the new update to the original mod, I'll have to declare this deprecated. If anyone would like to take over work on this version of the plugin, you have my full permissions to do anything you'd like with it.
Whenever I get back around to Fallout 4, I'll come back to this, but I have absolutely no ETA for when that might be. Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies for my absence and the lack of updating.
Current Issues:
Not up to date with current LString
Arrow selection menu doesn't work
I really love the LString Bow mod, but I find that the naming convention, free RR wooden bow and arrows, and unimmersive (IMO) arrow types don't sit quite right with me and my load order. This version is based off the Oct 11 reduced damage 1.3.2 version of LString
Current Changes:
I'm interested to hear feedback about the new ammo crafting requirements, general damage balancing, and VATS range+functionality. Barring any fantastic ideas in the posts, I feel like this is pretty currently near feature complete, so we're in the balancing and bugfixing stage until LString gets updated again.
Modification permissions on the original were open, so here we are. All thanks to LString - John Lai for the fantastic mod. Still requires the original mod, this is just a replacement esp and script.
Anyone who wants to make a variant based on mine, go right ahead.
Huge thanks to contributor davethepak for:
Feedback credits:
Thanks to Osmanovic10 for mentioning Vats Range fix
Thanks to Zoneofdarkness for pointing out my longbow naming error
Thanks to DanielUchiha115 and davethepak for reminding me to forward the "vanilla damage" values from the original mod
Thanks to JohnRandomly for recommending the arrow type restriction and the changes to arrow craft reqs.
Traditional bow version requested by Digger065.
