HeartSeeker - Archery Add-on

The Zedit patch separates bows and crossbows into 6 different types, each with their own mechanics, pros and cons, paving the way for different play styles.

I'm also a big fan of tabletop RPGs and CRPGs. My favorite mechanic in those games is

There are different types of bows and bows, and these types affect the effective range, damage, detection, critical strike, attack speed, and movement speed.

These different attributes will force ranged players to choose which loadouts they encounter based on the environment and opponents, and will also impact character building.

After the last time I played a ranger campaign (my first time), I decided to fire up Skyrim and try a serious archer build to replicate the joy I was experiencing. What a pity, no happiness came to me. I realize the combat archery in this game sucks. My playstyle ended up with sneak attack x number of times -> discovered, switch weapons or die. I want more variability.

In Vanilla Skyrim, which is nowhere to be found. Some overhauls have been made to address this issue, but the changes are so drastic that compatibility

Become a nightmare. Fixed this issue by adding some PnP mechanics to ranged weapons and using zedit to make them compatible

With all loading orders.

So what does this mod do?

This mod separates bows and crossbows in load order into short/light, long/heavy, and good/siege, with their own game mechanics, layers, and sound sets to differentiate them. Disclaimer: I'm not an FX artist/enthusiast so don't worry

Replace the audio files in the fx folder with your own files.

What doesn't this mod do?

This does not add any weapons or animations.

No more spatially stereotyped backgrounds and descriptions!

perk up change

Changes have been made to Ranger, QuickShot and Eagle Eye (and their corresponding versions in ordinator, vokrii and adamant). They now provide passive incremental buffs.

Valid range:

In PnP, ranged weapons have a drop-off point where the further away you are from the weapon's preferred attack range, the greater the accuracy penalty you suffer.

Effective range is achieved through projectile velocity. Different projectile types/levels have speed differences (you can change the speed in projectiles.json to customize it to your liking.)

Types and properties of ranged weapons:

Each ranged weapon type is divided into 4 levels, except siege weapons and large weapons. The higher the level, the higher the performance of the weapon.

Weapon properties can only be activated when using the same type of ammunition (i.e. short arrow + short bow).

Using mismatched ammo will cause a 50% (i.e. long arrow + short bow) damage penalty, and a 90% damage penalty against large/siege weapons. Weapons will operate to their maximum potential (matching tiered ammo bonus) when using the same level of ammo (i.e. short rounds). Arrow T1 + short bow T1.
