Version 2.2
Fixed Missing Bonus Tags.
Re-uploaded, Fixed Scavenger Hunt Recipes appearing as Legendary Strings in a Non-NG+ mode. Apologies, it was a copy & paste error of the files, Not realised this for so long.
Added Standard Version of Witcher Crossbows Reworked for W3EE Redux - Alpha Release.
Version 2.1
Just a small update.
Added Script file "gameParams.ws" to increase Major Set Bonus to 7 when using a full witcher school set.
Edited EN.Strings, Manticore Crossbow now has a worthy description.
Version 2.0
Total Revamp of the Mod Page - Kinda proud of the layout now.
Name Changed to appropiately reflect what the mod contains in [2.0], to... "Witcher Crossbows Reworked - [WCR]" from "Crossbows Incomplete Edition [CIE]"
Attack Power% lowered on the Base Version of Crossbows, This will make Higher Tiers worthy to find for upgrading. Which also means lower level requirements on the lower tiers.
Please see Images for comparisons on the new Stats and what you can expect with this Mod..
Added in this Version, Viper Crossbow (2 Upgrades) Manticore Crossbow (Single Weapon) Reason for this, well... Viper set in the game is a mess unless modded, and there's only one version for Manticore, so the Mod follows this example. May change in the future but for now, enjoy. Wolf, Gryphon, Manticore, Viper Crossbows have different appearances now.
NGP Itself is still a Work in Progress, I am committed to improving it, though it's a little trickier for how the crossbows are calculated in game. New Crossbows still do not transfer from New Game to New Game Plus, but I am looking into this. For now, I highly suggest using the recommended Mod "Item Levels Normalized"
Translation Strings - Available. Uploaded Polish Translation in the Optional section for both Full and Standard Version of Witcher Crossbows Reworked. Uploaded French Translation in the Optional section for both Full and Standard Version of Witcher Crossbows Reworked.
Version 1.2a
Fixed a Typo in [gameplay... items] def_loot_treasurehunts.xml, which stopped the Ursine and Feline Crossbow from showing in the loot. [Standard Version]
Fixed a Typo in [gameplay... items] def_item_crafting_recipes.xml, which prevented upgrading the Lynx Superior Crossbow to the Mastercrafted Varient - SEE UPDATE SECTION.- Main File still required.
Version 1.2
Increased Pools of Containers for all Crossbows by 1, reports of Vanilla Crossbows not showing, Weird I didn't touch this bit but fixed anyway. If any other parts of the Witcher Gear not showing in the loot containers, please report although my focus is on Crossbows I will increase these, since my Mod edits the file.
Replaced "Monstrous carapace with Monstrous plate in most of the Lynx Crossbow Recipes - this makes it accessible to craft from early game.
Possible Fix for Griffin Crossbows with Spell Power not working as intended, Please Report if not.
Included TR.W3STRINGS with main files, Turkish Translation provided by "Feunard".
Added Grandmaster Tier Crossbows to the EP1 SetBonus
Adjusted the Container at the Bastion [Kaer Morhen] again., (Any Issue's please report.)
Fixed Console Command for NGP Wolf Crossbow Enhanced Schematic. Plus the Bugs for Spawning in Non-NG+ and NG+ in each game mode.
Added Enhanced, Superior, Mastercrafted Wolven Crossbow Schematics to Treasure Containers, They occupy the same container as [Bloodsword, Harvall and Ultimatum] in the Buried Treasure [Exploration Quests], Two of these schematics are in close proximity to the Wolf Scavanger Quest Locations, the other... well it's close at the beginning of Velen. ;) (Any issue's with these containers, please report.)
Increased Loot Pools for Treasure Hunt Containers - Should now get both Steel Sword Variants and the Crossbow when looting the container. - [Full/Standard Version]
Fixed NG+ Wolven Grandmaster Crossbow Stats - They should now be 400+ Attack Power. [Full Version]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've played The Witcher 3 many times, over 2000 Hours on Steam, it's always bothered me that only the Ursine and Feline Set get Crossbows. Two witcher crossbows was not enough, I needed more! So... after creating the standalone crossbow mod "Wolf School Crossbow", I set out to create an overhaul mod, I took inspiration from this mod "Witcher Crossbows Overhaul" by nothinMuch. Though it has not been updated in the last 6 years at this point, very much abandoned. I have tried to contact the Author but was unsuccessful of a reply, therefore low and behold I have created a clean slate version that modifies only the game files themselves for Next Gen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lambert: Hunting's almost a diversion with that gabriel, gotta get me one." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION
Witcher Crossbows Reworked - [WCR] - Full Version All Witcher Crossbows are upgradable from Basic ---> Grandmaster. All schematics can be found by searching the wilderness etc...Witcher School Scavenger Quests[Treasure Hunts]. Tiers Enhanced to Mastercrafted of the Wolf School Crossbow Upgrade schematics are placed in Buried Treasures...Exploration Quests: "Unfortunate Turn of Events"[Harvall Relic], "Inheritance"[Bloodsword Relic] and "The Dead Have No Defence" [Ultimatum Relic]. Two of these are in close proximity to Wolf Scavanger Quest Locations the other well it's close to the "Hanged Mans Tree". In previous versions of the mod, these three Schematics were only available at vendors, due to not finding the right bundle for the Wolf Scavanger Quest. This was the next best thing.Finding the newly additions, Viper, Forgotten Wolf and Manticore!, well let's not spoil things, go out into the wilderness and find them on your travels.
Witcher Crossbows Reworked - [WCR] - Standard Version This one is classic as can be to Vanilla game, it only adds missing school crossbows, no upgradable tiers just the basic.
Witcher Crossbows Reworked - [WCR] - W3EE Redux - Standard Version Same as Vanilla version above, only this one is compatible with W3EE Redux by Kolaris. CHANGES FROM [CIE] TO [WCR] WITCHER CROSSBOWS REWORKED - WCR [2.0]
Total Revamp of the Mod Page - Kinda proud of the layout now.
Name Changed to appropiately reflect what the mod contains in [2.0], to... "Witcher Crossbows Reworked - [WCR]" from "Crossbows Incomplete Edition"
Attack Power% lowered on the Base Version of Crossbows, This will make Higher Tiers worthy to find for upgrading. Which also means lower level requirements on the lower tiers. The changes in New Game Plus [NGP] are the same as base game, because of this, I highly suggest using the recommended Mod listed or any other level scaling mod.
Bonus Tags have been added to Grandmaster Tiers in the Full version and ALL Crossbows in the Standard version. With the latest update [2.4 or 2.5], to meet the Major Set Bonus [7], users must equip a whole Witcher Set including the corresponding Crossbow. To revert back to [6] Major Set Bonus, REMOVE "Scripts" folder or EDIT "Line 341".
Crossbows Name - Attack Power% = Base/Enhanced/Superior/Mastercrafted/Grandmaster Feline = 135%/175%/215%/255%/295% Ursine = 135%/175%/215%/255%/295% Wolf = 130%/170%/210%/250%/290% Gryphon = 140%/180%/220%/260%/300% Viper = 130%/210%/290% Forgotten Wolf = 140%/220%/300% Manticore = 285% * See Images for Comparisons *
All Crossbow's are still Witcher Gear [Quality 5]
[Standard Version] Attack Power% remained Vanilla with a few adjustments.
Wolf, Gryphon, Manticore, Viper Crossbows have different appearances.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CROSSBOWS UNIQUE STATS I've tried to maintain each crossbow to having an unique stat of there own which differs from the other school crossbows.
Lynx School Crossbow = Stun Chance Bear School Crossbow = Stagger Chance Gryphon School Crossbow = Sign Intensity Wolf School Crossbow = Bleeding Chance Viper School Crossbow = Poisoning Chance Forgotten Wolf Crossbow = Bleeding Chance Manticore School Crossbow = Bleeding Chance / Burning Chance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Download & Extract to "...Directory\The Witcher 3"
