Randomly Generated Bows

Description
This is a mod that adds randomly generated bows, with unique alt abilities, and more functions to their primaries!

Primary Ability Changes:
- Primary has custom cursor animations for chargeup
- Arrows inherit random colours and shape
- Arrows can stick into enemies and deal DoT
- When airborne (off ground) you gain a 1.25x multiplier to all damage on the primary (inherits to DoT on arrow sticking)
- Custom Sound effects for drawing the string, firing and ready pings
- Ready ping occurs just before perfect shot is ready, so there is an audible indicator and a visual one
- Perfect shots have a longer time in between shots
- Energy is used drawing the bow, and holding, no energy consumed upon firing
- Upon running out of energy middraw, automatically fire
- Faster cooldowns
- Forces walking while firing
- Optional extra functions for custom bow creation
- Custom loosed frames after firing an arrow
- Elemental perfect arrows
- Physical pierces enemies and hits harder
- Ice sticks into enemies and slows
- Fire explodes and leaves a fire cloud
- Poison pierces, leaving poison clouds in its trail, and leaving a larger one on death
- Electric shoots at enemies it passes by, by tethering lightning to them, pierces

Alt Abilities:
Dead Eye:
- Mark an enemy and lock on
- Auto predicts where to fire, and auto aims, so that the arrow should hit
- If enemy jumps or moves faster, it may miss
- Works like normal bowshot if no entity is marked, but aims up a little so that the arrow passes through the cursor
Arrow Storm:
- Long charge up, aims upward, similar to zenshot
- Fires a single arrow that splits into 5-10 arrows (different for each bow with this alt)
- Arrows fall and rain down on cursor
- Split angles and such are random for each bow
Backpedal:
- Jump backwards in a flip
- Invincible during
- Smaller hitbox
- Uses small amounts of energy
- Can only recharge when grounded
Blink Arrow:
- Charges up a teleportation arrow
- Teleports player to where it lands
- Charge increases zone of teleportation (full charge wont teleport when aimed near player)
- Explodes dealing alot of damage
- Can teleport player really high up
Nock Alternate Arrow:
- Can nock different arrows to primary fire
- Nock more arrows:
- Increases draw time and adds many more arrows to primary fire
- Nock rebounding arrow:
- Nocks a bouncing arrow for the primary fire

Uniques:
- Artemis
- A large bulky bow that slings heavy arrows that return after a bit like a boomerang

How to obtain:
- Random bows spawn randomly in chests, like normal weapons
- ID's are "neb-commonbow", "neb-uncommonbow", "neb-rarebow"
- Prefixed to avoid conflict
- Artemis is not yet obtainable, can be spawned with /spawnitem neb-artemis

Notes:
- A version of this mod is integrated into FU, modifying all of its bows, along with a bigger variety in content based on it's elements
- This version will not work along side that version, so keep that in mind
- If you find an errors or bugs, or have suggestions for some altfires leave them in their respective discussions
- This mod should be compatible with all other mods

I CAN BREATH!
Hello there... I made this mod months ago, before I lost my pc, this mod contains a lot and is a WIP, if it is liked, and there is enough demand i will add more alts and uniques. On that matter, it is becoming a part of FU because I plan on reworking some of their weapons, to be more smooth and streamlined, like what I did with these bows.

Yeah. Nothing against the mod itself. Everyone still enjoys it. It's just the page on here that could use some visual updating to reflect the quality of work you've done well on.

I am mostly just lazy and semi retired, but anyone who knows me generally knows my quality standard so I never bothered. I did have plans to add more to this mod though, will tweak it then!

Hey, Neb. Thing this mod page could use some touch-ups?
CorbOnTheCob 18 Apr, 2024 @ 6:00pm

It'd be a patch, tho I doubt I'll be making it as modding isn't my forte, I'm only making the mod I'm making right now because all the mods I could find to do the same thing, where out of date and do it a vastly different way, being that they have you craft some sort of token or bag that gives you the item, instead of just straight crafting the item
Neb  [author] 28 Dec, 2022 @ 9:23pm 
If you make it compatible through a patch, this should be fine as long as it requires this mod and you credit me. If not a patch, you are not allowed to though.

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with FU, though it's nice to hear that it isn't as hard as I'd assume! I've actually started working on a mod to generate random items with crafting, so if I can get your permission, and I have the will power to, I'd love to make a Weapon Assembly compatibility mod!
though that does heavily rely on me being able and wanting after your permission is given
