Thank you so much for this mod. lol The strongest bows actually look well designed, and not like random tree branches found on the ground. It is so odd, because they are using the exact same models from the first KCD, but, they swapped the stats for some reason. Originally, the Sinew bow, and Yew longbow, which have the stats of the hunting bow in this game, were the strongest. And the ash bows, which are the strongest in this game, were the weakest in KCD 1. I have no idea what they were thinking with that, and it leads me to believe it wasn't intentional. I mean, it was the primary reason I only used the crossbows, because I hated the way the strongest longbow looked. xD... That, and the reinforced crossbow not only looks pretty nice, but is strong as hek! o.o
I´d absolutely Love a version where the Longbows look like cuman bow. I do archery myselfe and use a hungarian horse bow. I mean, using Bane on my arrows i could pretty much use any bow i want and one hit everyone, but sometimes the target needs to die asap (like when an enemy attacks someone else) and in those situations i need the best bow and arrow i can.
Edit: I was able to find out the model type (manmade/weapons/bows/cuman_bow_a_a.cdf), but im too stupid/impatient to deal with .pak archives, so sadly i wasnt able to make a cuman bow version :s
I do plan to separate the bows from the quivers, i'm just trying to figure out how to organise so it isn't confusing. I also have a separate mod that changes all quivers (not just longbow quivers).
I have just uploaded a new mod that allows you to choose your own quivers without changing the bow. I created it using a different method than this mod, it is more compatible with other mods (including this one). Choose your own bow quiver.
I plan to make a proper quiver selection mod for bows and crossbows but I want to do it in a different way that doesn't cause conflicts with other mods. I had a few problems getting it to work but I think I figured it out now. I will upload a new mod soon.
I really like this mod, especially the capon bow version, however, unfortunately both have the arrow halfway clipping into the handle due to the thick wrapping :( Wie schade mein Herr.
I looked into this to see if there was something in the mod that was causing it but unfortunately the clipping problem exists with all the vanilla hunting bows too.
I was making something that someone else requested. I did suggest using the Elm longbow model as a "passable" middleground for realism but they eventually decided on the hunting bows. I don't think it really matters, in a singleplayer game give the people what they want :).

Edit: This is done now and added to the optional files.
I also have a separate mod that changes all quivers (not just longbow quivers).
Edit: The mod is complete now.
Wie schade mein Herr.
I guess then rename them ?
