This made me think of “Jack and the Three Blind Archers” from Samurai Jack.

If anyone’s interested, I’m currently in the process of PRing this into the main game. With a bit of luck most or all of the changes/content in this mod will be mainlined before too long.

That sounds awesome I hope it works out!

Thus far the existing bows/crossbow have been rebalanced along with their bolts/arrows. The basic attachments (excluding the performance mods) have been added as well.

My basic plan is to leave this mod on here as-is for people playing old versions, but PR everything that still fits with the game. Once that’s done I’ll take all the slightly weird new content (the Bolter, any artifact bows I come up with, stuff like that) and either make a new thread so people can use them or (preferably) mainline it so it comes with the base game.

Sorry for the necro, but this seems to be _the_ thread for the mod – is this integrated into main/experimentals now, or is the open PR still waiting to go in?

I’m just diving back into CDDA after a bit, and realizing I probably have tons of outdated mods in my data folder. Maybe I should just wipe it all and start fresh. 🙂 (no idea what building packs to use, etc.)

I believe it’s mainlined, or at least parts, because I can’t recall installing it but I definitely have a dampening kit on my bow right now.

In most cases, the main game actually goes beyond what’s in this mod. However, there is a couple of items in the mod that don’t appear in mainline. I wouldn’t recommend using this mod with a reasonably new version of the game, but eventually I’d like to come back and revamp it into a content pack for weird bow/crossbow things. I have ideas for a solar artifact bow and some other cool nonsense.

i was thinking of downloading it for that smart arrow, but that got me second guessing…

Very good. – thank you @darktoes – I couldn’t exactly tell what status that big PR was in. I’ll look forward to whatever you wind up building here or any different name 🙂

Just for you (and anyone else who likes the smart arrow and A22 Bolter) I put together a temporary version of the mod that just adds new stuff, improves spawnlists, and doesn’t do any rebalancing. Should be perfectly stable and won’t override any existing parts of the game.  
[Get it here. Or in the OP.](https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkadviddx4eej3f/Expanded%20Archery%20%28Temp%20Lite%20Version%29.zip?dl=0)  
Bear in mind I haven’t got to test if it runs, but I didn’t change much so it should be fine. If it throws an error just tell me with a screenshot of the error it gives and I’ll fix it.

I know it’s been some time, but cdda is already 0.F version and it has a problem with the A22 bolter, as in it dowsn’t want to reload it anymore. The weapon is not in the reload menu, nor it cannot be reloaded from inventory. I am in possesion of a couple fully loaded UPS units and a truckload of different type of bolts, yet I still can’t make that weapon reload. Also it gives a error:  
DEBUG : loaded a nun or ammo\_data() is nullptr

FUNCTION : void item::gun\_info(const item\*, std::vector&, const iteminfo\_query\*, int, bool) const  
FILE : src/item.cpp

What do?
