Tailored gambesons being meteoritic/steel tier is a change that nearly ruins this mod, as now we cannot get some mediocre protection early game, gambesons arent even that great for high tier enemies, I do not understand this change in the slightest.

Could this please be an optional change? I am currently having to spawn in gambesons on my server for people that spent time getting enough flax/linen for them only to not be able to make them for several more steps of progression.

I hope this does not sound rude, I am just genuinely bewildered at this change.

Is anyone else having issues with copper, tin bronze, bismuth bronze, black bronze, iron, and steel Plate Leg Armor missing the textures for the feet. Any fix?

I'm with GalloViking on this one. That was a really poor idea to make tailored gambeson a meteoric iron/steel tier recipe. I really hate these game design choices that lock items behind a forced tier progression rather than what is more realistic. For example, we should be able to make plate molds and such instead of hammering it all out manually. So dumb.

At least make it an optional setting instead of just sneaking it in there and making people waste all that flax fiber trying to get the recipe to work.

No one asked for this "feature."

For some reason CO makes shivers stop and stand still to attack now instead of attacking while moving like in Vanilla. It makes shivers so much more easy to fight and removes the challenge they brought. Now they just feel like slightly faster drifters

Added the mod yesterday to a MP server. I noticed it adds a 1% movement speed to most leg armors effectively negating the xskills trait "light armor expert".

is this on purpose for the point of not wearing pants while using this trait or was this an oversight?

I love this mod but I'm not too fond of the yellow traits it adds, I've looked at config lib and havent seen any options to change them but it would be a nice implementation imo

The armors when layered cause texture clipping, idk wether this has been fixed already and its only a mod mismatch or still a known problem but if anyone know what could cause it let me know.

Could you please update the mod to fix the bowtorn agression bug?

I keep getting killed by bowtorn in my worlds despite haveing creature hostility disabled.

The issue is 100% due to this mod as ive tested every possible combination of my mods and by starting compleatly new worlds with only this mod loaded.

Mod removed/disabled: non hostile bowtorn, Mod enabled: bowtorn ignore creature hostility setting and become hostile.

I dont want to be a bother about this but its dirrectly effecting my ability to enjoy the game.

If you need extra info ill try to provide it.

KIMA report it via VS discord server please, with logs attached

There is no Exquisite armorer trait in CO

> Your flint bullets aren't working. The recepie simply seems unmakable now, making the improvised sling unable to be obtained if you are unlucky and only find flit.

> Put out some damn documentation for what your crafting recepies are and what you changed vanilla ones too. Having access to this outside the game isn't just a guide thing, it helps to figure out if something is bugged.

Just a reminder: this is not the way to report a bug or ask a modder for something.

so i found a tailored gambeson, but checking its requiriment it shows me needing Exquisite armorer trait to make, and  clothier trait to repair ? i don't think it is right 

paulogabbi Yeah, somethig's wrong with that. Copper maces kill surface drifters in 4 hits, unless you're somehow hitting their legs every time. Might need to check the world's settings or your other mods, because that literally does not happen with CO installed by itself.

Is there a way to get it so your directional attack is based on keys or movement? (like back = thrust forward = overhead) With the mouse controls I'm really having a hard time using the attacks I want during a fight and often do the opposite of what I want because I'm trying to walk and aim at the enemy during combat. If they walk left and I have to look left my character is going to take a left swing and hit my teammate when I wanted to thrust. I messed around with the settlings and Googled for a bit but I haven't figured it out. 

Went from 0.9.2 to the Newest CO Update, When was the change made that Plate armors Can't be worn with chainmail at the same time? Unless something bugged in my game and thats not intended. 

I'm expirencing a bug where animations and weapons are locking up mid fight, after a few swings weapons tend to get stuck not swinging only fixed by switching off them and then back on. They just get stuck in the default postion and wont swing.

The animations in this mod look cool in first person but look really awkward in third person. In vanilla the attack animations show emotion in the third person model, but in this only the arms move and not the rest of the body. It feels inhuman to watch someone fight monsters.

Okay so I don't know if this is just me being dumb or something, but WHY did a drifter hit me for 14 damage to my FACE?! Like...I get they're supposed to hit your head, but this seems overly excessive, like it went from 4 damage to my arm and them BOOM 14 damage to my FACE. That was near-lethal damage if i didn't have Gourmand supplementing my health a little. 

Sparkplug04 i am using a mace vs a surface drifter, did not expect a Iron mace to take 10 hits 

paulogabbi If you're using a spear, that's your problem. CO fully implements Vintage Story's damage type system, and now all mobs have resistances to some damage type. Rot monsters resist piercing damage, wildlife resist blunt damage. All have slight resistances to slashing damage but not as much as their other resistances. You'll also really need to get used to kiting and baiting.

Why on earth is the tailored gambeson a meteoric iron tier item now? Who thought that this was an even remotely good idea? 

for some reason the armors are not showing on my character when i wear them. is that ta bug or do i need to config something?

so i have iron weapon and a bronze brigandie armor and i still die to a surface shifter because they take 10 or so hits to die, is this intended ?

Does anyone know what this exception means? When people equip a musket with a bayonet on my server, they're booted from the server.

Awesome mod, thanks for your hard work! This is 100% essential in my playthroughs.

Got a bug report for ya, the flint sling bullets seem to not be knappable. Handbook says the only way to make them is through casting, but that doesn't seem like correct behavior. Screenshot attached below.


SCREENSHOT

is there a way to just dissable the changes to armor and the equipment slots?
i lie the animations but i cant rap my head around the armor tweaks nor do i quite like them, if its not currently possible
would love to see a mod thats just the weapons and there new animations

it seems like this mod is affecting a friend of mine that tries to join but sometimes they die from fall damage from distances that shouldent be able to even damage to that degree let alone at all (nvm it seems to actually be overhaul lib causing it)

I have an issue where I cannot harvest creatures with the knife 

This mod seems to have a bug where your body temp will not drop, changing to creative and back to survival will work for only a second or so. Had to uninstall to restore body temp feature 

Thank you so much for adding proper sling bullets. You're a legend.

You install latest versions that have more optimizations implemented

How do I reduce the lag when there are like 30 people all wearing full armor layers nearby?

Question, is it intended that bear pelt armor on legs gives you as much movementspeed penalty as steel plate on legs, and more than steel scales on legs? Just curious.

For some reason this mod is causeing a bug with the Creature hostility world setting.

With this mod installed, bowtorn will be hostile to the player even with the creature hostility set to "passive".

Bug has persisted since game version 1.21.0 to the present, confirmed happening on mod versions 0.9.3 - 0.10.8

Wondering if this could get a fix as i prefer to have creature hostility disabled when not exploreing, and rn im constantly getting ganked by bowtorn every time i leave my houses front door.

RunYouCleverBoy Vintage Story in the base game rolls damage based on chance for what body part is hit. (50% for torso, 30% for legs, 20% for head)
Combat Overhaul reworks this into a true locational damage system, where whatever was hit during the attack is what will be used for damage calculation. There's also bonus damage zones such as the torso and head, so you still want to armor up even if PVE enemies might not hit you in the skull normally. Bowtorn still absolutely can, and so can bears which can nearly one-shot you if your face is unprotected.
CO's body coverage system is very in-depth and features a lot of possibilities, including the aforementioned face and even the arms or hands. As an added example, Fauna of the Stone Age mobs sometimes have heart and brain locations, which are only hit by extremely high tier weapons that can cause deep enough injuries to hit those.

I'm wondering if you could make the animations less stiff, my characters arms are stiff as a board when I'm holding a shield in my offhand and any weapon on my main hand. Most one-handed weapons including the falx are pointed towards the ground when idle, causing the tip of the weapon to phase through a block especially when sprinting. Short swords, sabres, hammers and such are angled to the side in an odd manner, while the blackguard sword and forlorn estoc are angled properly when holding it.

I hope this doesn't come off as negative or heavily criticizing, I do enjoy your mods very much 😁

I feel like the gambeson redesign is a bit too restrictive and removes a major reason to choose the tailor class. If you're open to a suggestion, I think letting a tailor use the original recipes rather than just a minor discount on armor tailoring kits would be better.

is the creatures enemy hit me in specific body zones or helmet protect me from evey directed hits?

do you accept logs on your github too? im not in the discord and don't really like joining a discord just for one thing, so figured id ask

Is there a way to modify the defense value of armor from mod settings?

I am playing single player and was looking at the defense values of bronze and iron age gear. I am currently wearing a full set of tin bronze lammaelar armor and am getting completely bodied by deep drifters and shivers. The defense values for Iron armor are not that much higher. I honestly don't see myself being able to actually do base game chapter content alone with combat overhaul armor.

Just so you know: Combat Overhaul v0.10.7 says it requires Overhaul Lib v1.12.7 when it loads, but the Lib version says it is only for Vintage Story v1.21.4. As such, it is not actually compatible with versions 1.21.0 - 1.21.3, and is only compatible with v1.21.4. Unless Overhaul Lib is actually compatible with the other versions, that is.

I spy an change that happened to the Overhaul Lib v1.12.7 description three hours ago. Can confirm both work together on Vintage Story v1.21.1 now 👍

Had this issue both before and after the latest update. When i'm in the creative mode browser i'm occasionally crashing, from what I think is when mousing over CO items.

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hey, just got CO installed and am loving it. However, I noticed an issue, so far only spears, where if you hold a torch in your off-hand and try to adjust the position of the spear, it bugs out and doesn't change.

is it possible to add a config to set the value of enemy damage resistance

no

is it at all possible to only have the armory and the animations but none of the armor layering?

We just updated our server to 1.21.4, CO, and Overhaul Lib. Everything seems to work, but we're able to fight in enclosed spaces like it's vanilla. Any idea what is causing this?

Hello! Just downloaded the mod last night and I'm very interested in making it work in my game! My complaint is that I had all creatures set to passive in my game, but suddenly after downloading this mod the bowtorns are attacking me. None of the other temporal monsters are doing this, and I'm guessing it's because this mod directly interacts with the coding for the bowtorns but none of the others. I do not see anything in the configs for turning off their aggression. I'm tried to manually resetting them to passive again but it didn't work. Is there a way to turn off the bowtorn-specific aspect of the mod?

I do have an inquiry about the directional attacking this mod mentions and shows in the video. I can't seem to make it work. I've turned it on in the config settings, but I don't seem to have access to directional options for attacks. I did see there was an option to make the directions keybound, but considering the kebind feature is optional, (and I'm not going to remember another set of 4 keys for this one mod) I did not see anything preventing me from using directional attacks via mouse functions. Did I perhaps miss something?

Redpaws unfortunately I'm having the same issue as Doc Holiday. I've noticed the issue nearly every time I've tried to fight with a falx blade or spear, over many game sessions, so a restart won't fix mine. Knives work, so it's definitely not all weapons.

Maltiez

By clear the cache do you mean delete the cache folder? I can try that and report back. If it doesn't work though, I'll try sending you my files in the discord if I'm already in it.

Maltiez

CO mod disabled does not cause this warning.

If you throw a scrap spear it dissappears instantly. You cant retreave them and they dont do any damage. 

Please add a config option to disable the new Armorer tailor kit. 

I made a mace and it has almost no range, I've only been able to hit anything while being right on top of it. Is this an issue that others notice, or is there an in mod fix to this at least?

RunYouCleverBoy

Correct, and already mentioned. With weapons/shields that can parry/block, you can still open doors though, so it is only the bow/spear/sling (and javelins/crossbows/firearms) that's affected. In short, all ranged weapons. Doesn't change the fact it feels really clunky to have to hold Alt to open doors. As someone that likes playing Hunter, the spear is the only 1h option that gets a bonus from the CO Hunter traits, which makes this extra annoying on a personal level. Halberds are great, a favorite even, but sometimes you really want that 1h option for when you want to carry a torch or lantern in the offhand. Or for when something pops into the offhand slot on its own, like a damn temporal gear, blocking 2h weapons from being used... Happens surprisingly often to me!
Maybe Clockmaker should get proficiency to maces or clubs for the same reason. And 1h sword proficiency for tailor? Maybe a +5-10% attack speed to all for Commoner.

Mind you, you can still interact with most other things that doesn't require an empty hand, even with ranged weapons. Things like containers, querns, etc. It is only toggleable things, like doors and clutches, that's affected.

I just want a client-side toggle to make aiming work like blocking/parrying, where it still performs the action (block/parry/aim/reload, what have you), but also opens doors, without having to hold down an extra button. I'd even take the option to disable the ability to throw spears, if it meant being able to open doors while holding one. Armory adds javelins of all tiers anyway.

While not strictly needed, it would be a great QoL option to have!

Doc_Holiday

Tried restarting the game? I had that issue earlier while messing around in creative, and a simple restart fixed it for me.

The bows, spears, and falx blades do not work. 

I can have them in my hand and nothing happens when I try to use them.

Redpaws try alt key

• Hold Alt to interact with environment while holding weapons

where can be changed controls?
like E for change arrows

Any chance to add an option to prioritize opening doors over aiming, like in vanilla?

I like the higher tier spears this mod adds, but it is really clunky having to hold Alt or swap to something else to open doors with a spear or bow in hand, especially in a panic. If I'm low on health and got a nightmare shiver chasing me down, or a bowtorn squad lining up their shots, the last thing I want is for the door to fail to open in time just because I'm holding the wrong item.

Would be a great QoL option!

I'm sorry to be a bother, I'm new to the community and this is one of the mods I was recomended.
I cant seem to use anything from the mod regardless of what I do. I figrued it out after making flint tools and almost died to a wolf trying to swing my spear. I later went into Creative and found out the bigger issue above. I hope to god I'm being dumb and I'm missing something. Thank you for your time and have a good Day/Night

Why in God's name do bears do tier 5 damage. Please, have mercy. 

Very cool mod but it comes packaged with invasion by T-834R death machines 

So is there any reason armor just isnt working for me? Like i can make it and equip it and everythingt but it just does... nothing? i tested a bit and a normal drifter hits me for 2 bars with no armor but then i put on a full set of plate armor and i still get hit for 2 full bars. And anytime i do get hit with armor on it loses no durability just stays at full.

0.9.9 makes my bowthorns shoot like shotguns. Downgrading to 0.9.5 fixed it.

 

Does this work with Swordz mod?

is it able to hide all tha text on enemies?

1.0 next update? full release?

Okay the sling actually feels really good now and more accurate to real life. Good work.

This mod should just be implemented into the game.
i cannot play with out it, its so good

My feet are out whenever I use the combined version of legs. But when I wear the cuissess and greaves seperately it shows my boots.

that's a good patch note for 0.9.6

nafen Did you ever find a fix? I can't seem to stab with my spear, and I even created another which still wouldn't attack, or even change grip position.

EDIT: The fix I encountered was a log out and back in.

@Capseys im getting the same thing just different item/block id numbers 

Not sure what exactly it refers to, but server console keeps throwing this out constantly. Seems to be running fine, but wondering if it's something to worry about?

Dunno if this is an effect of this mod or Armoury, but I tried throwing a scrap spear and it straight up vanished. Sort of ruined my attempt to kill a bear when I'd hit it enough to run then my spear disappeared.

Spawned in a new scrap spear, tried throwing that one to test, and it vanished too.

    My only whoe with CO is a problem with armor stands, every time you try to place more than 4 pieces of armor on them

they start puting the armor in their hands and prevent more armor from being added. As a blacksmith owner it is offputing to customers

to see an armor with a minuture  secondary chestpiece in it's hand or floating half-merged with the back of the armorstand.

do you have any documentation on making a mod compatible with this one?

Having the same issue as others, where my CO weapons will suddenly not allow me to swing :/ Putting the weapon away and getting it back out does not fix it

I just updated to the most recent version (after updating the game and dependencies) and I am seeing "Lang key not found: combatoverhaul:Can causes lags in some cases" in the debug when I try to load a world, said world not loading past "It Senses". This is also a similar problem I'm having with two other mods (landform overhaul and cartwright's caravans), and I'm wanting to know if its a bug I can only wait to be fixed, or if its something on my side I need/can do to fix it?

Nerix You need to find the VintagestoryData folder (this is usually in AppData -> Roaming unless you changed it, if you're on Windows, type AppData or %appdata in search and it should appear)
Go into the Cache folder and then the Unpack folder and delete every folder in there (they'll come back once you load up the game)
After that, go into Logs -> Archive and delete everything from there.
Also make sure you have the latest version of the mod.

This should fix the holding anims for weapon animations bugging out when you move around.

Cestel OMG thank you! Been playing for a while with CO and was infuriated at times how inconsistant hitting is... weapon connecting with enemy and a lot of times it just dont register, althogh I assume it will make hitting multiple targets impossible... seams like enemy hit boxes are smaller than actual visible model, wish there would be config option to increase "hitbox register" on enemies 😥

Canyew check config at Roaming/VintagestoryData/ModConfig combatoverhaul.yaml
first setting bows aiming cursor type, I personally use fixed so it's just a little dot, intead of vanilla big-ass crosshair, there are also some settings under it so check them out

SupremeMorpheus it has in the config setting that checks for offset in the world, i guess that means it registers a hit where your weapon actually is not where your crosshair is, i disabled it cause it drove me nuts i was missing 99% hits on like 10cm away enemies

config at Roaming/VintagestoryData/ModConfig combatoverhaul.yaml

weapon_rendering_offset: true/false - i think that was a thing i turned off and it helped

Anyone else having issues with hit detection? Was directly in the face of a bowtorn earlier and missed 5 times, despite always aiming at them

This mod shouldn't conflict with The Critters Pack - Vintage Story Mod DB right?

Anyone know if there is a way to toggle the manual bow aiming thing off? I know some people like that sort of thing, but I feel like I'm playing the RUST Alpha all over again.

Was watching the Discord thread for this mod while troubleshooting and it was the Alchemy mod which caused the issue. Notably, it also made the wrong arrow model to render on the shot projectile when the bow would shoot, but it seemed to do the right damage and the pickup was the original ammo type.

My bow animations keep breaking, they work for a short time after crafting a new bow, but if they stop working on a bow it spams half of the vanilla animation before cancelling it with that bow. Something seems to be breaking the bow item's ability to use CO animations after a couple uses.

I seem to be having issues with hoes - hoes specifically (so far). I can't place them on the ground/against wall like all other tools, unless I've already put another tool down on the same block.

Testing in a blank world with no mods, it only recurred when enabling combat overhaul + the dependencies.

Odd issue, will persevere for now since I like the mod too much.

I've had the directional animations/indicators completely stop working, is there possibly a keybind I pressed at some point or are they just off by default in the newer versions? 

Edit: Spears removed their directional attack! 

Maltiez Having a problem with the mod currently in ver 1.21.0, all of my weapons dont have the necessary animations and idk how to fix

its the same case weather im on my server or in singleplayer and all players on the server share the experience

Please help me

First bug:
-Stone spear and Javelin (Probably all throwable weapon) cannot be put on the ground or in tool rack in survival. The right click to prepare to throw take precedent over everything else and overide it.

Second bug:
-Sometime, the weapon get stuck as many have reported. They say they need to move out and come back but for me it isn't the case. I think it is because of the shield block. If my weapon is blocked and i activate the shield block it come back again. My guess is this, if you press right click to block really quickly, sometime the animation end but it still think you are blocking so it stop you from swinging your weapon so you need to click block again to end it. It might also do this with any weapon that can parry or block (Haven't tested that far).

Otherwise the mod work flawlessly and is really fun. 

Am I the only one who has weird description about bihorn sheep? It says that "bell part of this monster has stronger blunt resistance" or such. I guess that's description of bell or bell head shiver, not  a sheep. Im not sure if that's the reason but my bihorn sheep refuse to eat and I wonder if that weird description might be some indicator it is this mod's fault.

Hi, 
I encountered the same bug as Diarko
"Im having issues where occasionally my weapon will bug out and no longer let me swing. Making me need to put away the weapon and bring it back out, which is really rough. Any fixes?"

Very unfortunate, especially in dangerous situations where quick reactions are crucial. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quick fix, the mod is really great. It adds a lot of depth to the game and I can't imagine playing VS without it.

Hey, so I have a very hard time in combat using this mod. (Spear+falx) tested as of now. Both in 1h and 2h. they seem to get stuck in their hit paths so it's almost impossible to get a hit in. Very frustrating.... 

FrancisOfFilth I suspected it was this mod causing it... Thanks for the report, I hope Maltiez can fix this

Fauna of the Stone Age: Pantherinae needs Patch again... Author had to change some stuff and reworked Ai to make it work, and so far only one mod of his is in 1.21. While running CO and this Mod it shows Long errors on some Panthers and ultimatly crashing the game. Please try running both mods and see if u get it too

Hey, how would I go about giving CO traits to the Racial Equality classes ? I've tried looking at how Combat Overhaul patches the vanilla classes but I'm kind of at a loss on how I could do it, not a modder in any capacity but I'd like to make them play nice together

attachableToEntity is missing from the bows and swords making the elk not being able to wear them on the sides

I'm getting crashes from too many errors whenever I try to use this mod on 1.21.1. On testing it seems like this mod and XSkills are completely incompatible with each other.

Update: Scratch that, on installing the 0.9.0-pre.2 update from 3 days ago for XSkills and XLib it seems to have fixed this issue based on a couple of minutes of testing (when it previously crashed within seconds)

Hi, sorry to bother but I believe the Combat Overhaul causes Bowtorns to still machinegun arrows at the player even when passive mode is enabled. Other enemies don't seem to have issues.

Getting a lot of these in logs:

12.9.2025 23:56:28 [Warning] Cannot fix itemstack mapping, item/block id 2753 not found in old mapping list. Will delete stack. (CombatOverhaul.Armor.ItemWearableArmor)
12.9.2025 23:56:31 [Warning] Cannot fix itemstack mapping, item/block id 2753 not found in old mapping list. Will delete stack. (CombatOverhaul.Armor.ItemWearableArmor)

I'm having a hard time finding info on this, and its perhaps due to the fact that i added CO onto a active playthough, but how does one get any of these weapon proficiencies? 

Hi, amazing mod, though would it be possible to increase some of these weapon ranges to vanilla equivalents? The club has the same range as the mace, and the range is generally just very meek.

The battle-axe somehow has even less range.

I do have certain bug, where it doesnt let me change direction of hit while holding spear. Doesn't matter if I don't have anything in the other hand, and changing grip position doesn't work. From loading screen i think that it may be a bug with weapon animation or something like that 

quite a funny but annoying bug im having with CO on Never Hostile is that bowtorns will try to hit me with arrows, will not melee me, and their arrows will just fly through me and not hurt me.

That "extremely gamebreaking bug", yikes, that is a bit... not good. 😬

extremely gamebreaking bug I found for the story;

Hey, Im having issues where occasionally my weapon will bug out and no longer let me swing. Making me need to put away the weapon and bring it back out, which is really rough. Any fixes?

uld it be possible to add a setting that allowd weapons with different swing patterns based on mouse position to be based on character movement?
greatswords and any that uses the outlines around the reticle 

Maltiez Not sure if it is intentional but in new versions of the mod melee_weapon_stop_on_terrain_hit is enabled by default which makes it very annoying to use weapons on any kind of uneven ground. However if you have config lib the change is reversed in the configlib-patches.json file. I figure if this is unintentional you may not have spotted it because you probably use configlib 95% of the time.

Just updated to newest version and all the new weapons are gone. Loaded an existing save and my javelin was just a black square.

Hi im recieving a crash to desktop error from combat overhaul on my server below is the error code in the console, any advice would be great!

Why is it that the Yeoman that seems to come along with this mod (I don't have remnants installed) so nerfed?
The class designed to be the archer but has every aim penalty under the sun.
It just doesnt make a lot of sense

Hm, need to reduce punching range to realistic value

Hey, so a problem that I have with the mod is that the range of some of the melee weapons feels really off. Maces have shorter range than punches and clubs sometimes struggle to hit drifters that are crawling on the ground. It's really annoyying and i was wondering if the range of those weapons could be changed?

Hey! What does "change grip position on spear" do? I don't feel much of a difference throwing it, and I have no sense of range swinging it to test that.

Had to disable, after a few swings left click no longer swings a weapon until you deselect/reselect it. Please fix soon. (early game, happened with spears and club)

How can I place Spears on the Ground/ in Tool Racks with this mod active? It just keeps aiming whenever i press right click

Howdy Maltiez! I'm trying to track down an issue I'm having, or rather which mod has the problem. I don't know if it's an issue here or another mod (Smithing Plus is my current next best guess).
I'm trying to smith a copper Mace head. It's big and square and so I have to flip it (not just roate) to get a better look at it. When I Do though, the actual green-grid indicating where the voxels need to be moved to SHIFTS. inevitably I need to flip it again and it shifts again. It makes it impossible to finish the Mace while smithing. 

Would this be an issue with this mod? I'm sorry if I sound ignorant, I'm only even kind of certain the Copper Mace head comes from this mod. That's why i'm runnign it by you first. If not I'm thinking Smithing Plus would be my next stop for troubleshooting. 

I know its only supported up to 1.21. but in v1.21.1-rc.2 (and rc1) I get an error regarding the obsidian arrow.
It is not critical and the game starts but wanted to let you know.

Seconding Voodooozo37's report of new incompatibility with Trait Acquirer in 1.21--

While I'm almost certain this is something that should fixed on Trait Acquirer's end rather than through Combat Overhaul, the modder has not been seen for some time. I was looking into creating my own fork to resolve this, but am new to vintage story modding and wasn't quite sure what mechanism in Combat Overhaul's traits is incompatible with Trait Acquirer (since Trait Acquirer works fine in 1.21 without Combat Overhaul).

I wondered if you guys here might be able to give me some insight into how to best adapt a fork to work with your mod? Thanks so much in advance for your time and consideration.

I seem to be able to pickup Bowtorn arrows since the last update.  

Is it possible to add a config option to change player projectile speed? Thrown spears feel really slow and I'd like to make them faster. 

good afternoon! after installing this modification, I encountered the problem that the pickaxe and any objects in my hands go inside the block and come close. Perhaps this has already been mentioned, if so, please tell me where exactly

How do you disable immersive first person camera mode? I understand its not supported anymore but its defaulted on for me, and I cant find it in the config.

There seems to be a bug with mod Trait Acquirer , first of when you go and try to check the traits of your character the game crashes. It used to be normal in 1.20 but now in 1.21 it crashes. Further more sometimes when you find a book that is supposted to give you a trait, its item count is 0 making it unable to be taken from chest or so. (the first bug is definitely connected to this mod, the second I am not sure but maybe some other people experienced it too so I will leave that info here)

LastXsile The Blacksmith perk increases weapon damage and armor resistance. Except that with CO it adds vanilla stats, which are useless. If a weapon is blunt, the perk should add blunt damage.

Gourgandin It works for me what exactly isn't working? Also list your current mod verisons for both Combat Overhaul, Overhaul lib, an which xskills and xlib you have.

Please can you make the Xskills Black smith perk works ?

Maltiez I looked at the patch on its side and didn't see what was wrong with it. Just seems CO overides it but im not knowledgable enough to really know what im doing to be fair. I figured it was something broke on its side but i can't figure that out honestly. Thanks for letting me know though.

LastXsile should be done on Remnatns side

ClosedBoudy set aiming difficulty to 0

is there anyway to completely turn off aim drift?

Maltiez Anychance you could add compatibility to The Remnants class mod, I attempted to patch it myself but lack the skill and failed but now I can't load my server now without it installed and it and this break the classes traits.

@Maltiez It seems like the invert direction config option doesn't fully work. It does invert the direction of the direction widget that shows up but doesn't actually change the animation.

Seems like the new update broke the crude bow texture for me. It's all white with a red question mark on it. Going back to 0.7.1 fixes the issue.

Does this mod buff arrows in some way? I’m new to game and heard from the community that arrow’s damage rlly fall off in pvp in the late game due to armor and the lack of damage tiers to arrows. I got recommended the “tiered arrows mod” bc of this. But since I’m already using CO, I figured I might as well ask first. Got the game about 2 weeks ago and I’m planning on starting a server with the boys

Also getting the issue of all weapons being un-usable in multiplayer, but we fixed it by promoting me to admin. Weird. 

Had a buddy pop on a server, using the Linux client.  He wasn't able to attack with anything but a knife.  All left clicks did nothing with other weapons.

Any chance you'd add Rapiers to the list of weapons?

I have had this error message since 1.21.0 release. I though it might go away eventually but it hasn't so sharing it here. 
I doesn't seem to affect anything important but perhaps there's a fix 🙂

Keywords: Invalid JavaScript,Resists BluntAttack, ArmorAutoPatcher, Overhaullib Integration

Got a bug to report!
Here are the mods involved:
playermodellib (1.0.1)
overhaullib (1.3.1)
combat overhaul (0.7.1)
kobold player redux (1.0.0)
tabards (0.2.1)

TLDR: with combat overhaul on, armor doesnt display the way they should on modified playermodels
I belieeeeeve the issue lies in the combat overhaul mod specifically, but ive reported it to the kobold mod too in case the issue lies there.
The kobold mod features custom shapes on its character, with a digitigrade pair of legs, and a big snout.
the mod creator has built custom shapes for armor so it fits the custom body.
All normal clothing works, without combat overhaul it works just fine, and the tabard mod works fine too (I bring that one up just because it makes me think its not overhaul lib specifically) but with combat overhaul on it makes it so armor doesnt display right, helmets dont get their custom snout addition, and the legs are utterly broken.

Last second addition:
I was testing a little extra as I was writing this, the "Lizardfolk" (1.1.3) playermodel does display its custom snouted helmets with combat overhaul on, which kind of means that its now the kobold mod that is the outlier. Though it still feels worth reporting, as you might be able to make the changes necessary to make custom armors like this work out of the box rather than needing whatever lizardfolk did for its compatibility.
I've already let the kobold mod author know about the issue before I went here to report it aswell.

Can somebody please elaborate on this?

Been having issue getting the mod to work. mainly no animations or damage. I have already: cleared my cache like 8 seperate times, completely uninstalled the game, deleted all data concerning mods and no luck. i'll continue to trouble shoot until. (issues resolved)

I am having an issue with the 1.20.12 version of the mod. I can hit the modded creatures (Nature Sentinel from Rustbound Magic specifically) with arrows just fine, but the minute I hit a vanilla creature (hare, wolf, lurker) I do no damage and get this error:

Exception: Could not load type 'CombatOverhaul.RangedSystems.ProjectileEntity' from assembly 'CombatOverhaul, Version=x.x.x.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

On my server, it kicks me to the menu, while in singleplayer it just does no damage. 

I am running version 0.3.10 for Combat Overhaul, 0.2.4 Armory, and 0.2.18 OverhaulLib.

Combat overhaul seems to don't work with. I check and i found this in the server-main logs:

I don't know if it's related but a "mod" called VSEssential have trouble to load too. Apparently it add a lot of already existing object.

Edit: After close VS and reopen it these 2 errors don't occurs. I'm confused of what happen.

Seems the quiver in the mod is no longer working, just turned into one of those broken black box items

hey, would it be possible to revert shield animations ? i don't know why this mod has this weird shield block animation built into it while the vanilla game has a perfect and realistic animation for raising a shield

having weird issues with long handle weapons, not hitting their targets, unless it's at about the same distance as a falx's reach. 
the tin bronze long handle axe for example, wasn't hitting anything until it was less than a block away. Even when the model appears to pass through the target in 3rd person. 

Hi there! Having an issue with flint spears and the such not working as MohawkMafia. I'm seeing that I have to update the "Config" But I don't know how to do that, let alone on a server. 
Edit: Yeah, I just needed to add the config mod. Bit of an oversight lmao.

LilBogStank and clayne I am having the same issue, I have the mod installed on a server and despite any number of restarts to the server and the clients I can't get spears to work. MaltiezIs there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

update config lib

i got a error when trying to start up a new world theres might be a problem with the spears i think, and i have to cancel the game cuz it wont load ( im not a good modder but hope this helps fix it)

Turns out I just can't read and didn't restart the game after i installed the mod, works fine for me now.

In 99% of cases it is just mismatched mods versions, make sure to update all relevant mods to latest version for your game version.

LilBogStank I'm having this issue as well, disabled all other mods to confirm it wasn't a conflict.

Is anyone else having an issue with this mod causing some weapons to be completely unusable? (flint spear or any bow from my experience)

@Khakana

If you have Config lib installed, you should be able to do it from the game manu (in-game) by clicking on the Mods settings button

Per Ricwi's comment, I'm able to load a saved game without any trouble with this (0.7.1) enabled (make sure Overhauls is also updated)

well after much testing this is causing the game to crash every time i try to start or create a world. v1.21.0 stable

 genuinely must just be stupid. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the screen to change up the settings of the mod since I like everything but how bows aim and for whatever reason I am under the impression I can change that alone back to default with the menu. How do I do this?

My 'client-main.log' file reports the following error:

It doesn't crash the game, but it does get recorded. Just thought it might be something to look into.

This is for game version 1.20.12, mod version 0.3.10.

Hellow there, ive been enjoying this mod in single, and i recently started a MP server with friends. when we throw the stone jav it gives us an error and kicks us from the server for an unhandled exception. any help?

@wael6  so will this work has the hunter has the same has the helberd???

in 1.21 rc 6 on mod version 0.7.1 equipping a weapon causes a fatal error/crash due to animation errors

wael6 I did try adding the latest overhaul lib in after I added the updated combat overhaul because I saw in the change log that it now requied it, but that didnt fix any of the issues as far as I could tell. The current version I use 0.2.14 works just fine without it from what I can tell.

TheCrazyKid poleaxe has a hammer on the back of it that you use for overhead strikes and has a shorter pole with a more centered grip, halberd has a spike on that back (sadly unusable) and has a longer pole with a more spear like hand position

LuaNearctic do you have the latest overhaul lib version ?

Im currently unable to update this mod for my 1.20.12 server to its recomended version of 0.3.10 and can only use 0.2.14. Animaitons not working, creative menu tab not visable and no textures load for any of the models that depend on it. Which are CombatOverhaul Armory which is up to date, Crossbows 0.6.2 and Firearms 0.11.6, which I am not able to update due to the same texture issue. Ive have followed the tips as best to my abilties, Ive even got down version untill one works but only 0.2.14 seems to works. To my knowlage i dont have anyother combat mods installed except for LevelUp which is currently at 1.3.8.

Sadly,  Buthering mod is NOT working with Combat Overhaul. To be more specific Bone Arrows dont work with Bows anymore.. Is there possibility for patch?

When I try to host this on LAN, my brother isn't capable of joining, it just says "downloading 0 mods" infinitely. Even when he's already installed them separately on his client. We are using version 1.20.12 client and newest mod version.

I installed everything but while I am playing my caracther does not take any damage at all from passive mobs - and this is the second try after I uninstalled everything and installed them again; one thing I noticed that once I deactivate this mod; I get damaged as normal

@TheCrazyKid I checked the json and it's a type of axe, its affected by axes proficiency.

@Xasmedy This has been an issue for a long time now. Let me know if you manage to find a fix on your own because everyone else I've asked is stumped.

is a polaxe is the same has a halberd?

edit-i think i know what i did wrong :P

Any thoughts on on making long axes stronger? they are pretty one note and seem strickly worse than something like the greatsword as they can't even block.

MrKizu Are you using any race addons? I'm having the same with the Kemono mod. It didn't work with Kemono+pony before because of changing how hits are calculated, but now it's doing what you're saying.Figuring it was related to the last "Known Problem", there.

Waited a long time for an update, gave it a try and still nothing works. Only swinging sounds with melee weapons and I tried all of them.

Yes I had all the depenencies, restarted the game a couple of times, cleared the cache but still nothing. Could just be some obscure mod conflict even tho I don't have any other melee mods.

Oh well. I don't wanna go through the trouble of fixing my server if this breaks something so I guess i'll try this in another run.

How can we get patches for Creatures for Combat OverhauL? There are TONS of cool creatures especially from Fauna of the Stone Age but none seem to be compatible witht this mod when it comes to hit boxes...

It would be pretty cool if when using a greatsword you could switch to halfsword, like choking up on polearms, and have the pomel do blunt damage.

On 1.20.12 there's a massive performance problem on multiplayer when having 20+ players in the same place.

People with different hardware have pretty much the same fps (around 8 to 15), and removing the mod fixes the problem.

+1 on not being able to Place down the Jav. I had Dodge master on Alt, rebinded it now. Tried the hotkeys mentioned couple comments below too

arcticflxme They do though? Press X without a two handed weapon

Why make it so lanterns or any light doesn't work in your offhand?

Kasel Strange, works on my end, rc1

Entaris Tried all of this.  Nothing works.  Still will only prepare to throw and not place it.

ExeCUTEtioner KaselWasn't it Ctrl + Shift + Alt Right Click?

Because CTRL + Shift is place, but Alt to interact with the world 

ExeCUTEtioner I tried that many times, no dice. 

Kasel Its tricky, Spears and Javs I had to ctrl+alt+r click to place.

So for some reason, I cannot place my spear on the ground or on tool racks.  Holding ALT does nothing and my character only wants to try and throw the spear.

I must be missing something. Playing on a server with only this mod and the overhaul lib. I get a message saying 0 mods needed to download in order to connect. AFAIK overhaul lib is the only dependency for this mod, and that message pops up when you are missing a dependency. Is there another dependency? 

There is a bug where the new bear armor is impossible to equip.

Getting a crash on startup, it's saying its overhaullib but it was running a-ok before I updated combat overhaul from 0.4.4 to 0.4.5
I am playing on 1.21.0 rc-2 so this could simply be my fault for flying too close to the sun

no matter what i try i cannot get the combat animations to work, iv been working at it for days clearing cash downloading different versions and full reinstalls of the game and world but nothing works

Is there a chance on the mod being updated to the current version of the game? It seems to be making problems for one of the players on my server for some reason

Hello, could you add an option in the game (in the keyboard shortcut settings) to change the defend button on the shield?
As it is, it works well when playing with spears, but not with other weapons such as sabers. It doesn't work, especially in ruins; you're in the middle of combat and suddenly open a chest by accident. Or even at home.

If you switch the button to shift or leave it free for the player to choose, I'll buy you a coffee. ^_^

when dismantling Chains it gives back double the amount nuggets than it's supposed to. This is not the case for Lamellar or Scales however

Having an issue where the host can use flint to make javelins without issue, but anyone who isn't the host sees missing textures when knapping? We're both using Version 0.2.4 Armory, 0.4.4 Overhaul, 0.3.11 Lib

Also can't find the discord link to get help

Thx

there is a problem with combat overhaul and the 1.21: the new bear armor cant be equiped!!!!

Yea just make like if it is a improvised armor or something for wear it.

Bone_D overhaul lib just got an update a few hours ago, in the changelog it said it fixed the steps sound, just letting anyone know

Wilihey also got that. Only installed combat overhaul and overhaul lib to be sure, and sadly issue still persists. So probably not out of conflict with other mods. (The mod is amazing btw thx)

i noticed i stop hearing my footsteps sometimes, and they come back after leaving and then relaunching my save

my footsteps disappear whenever i select a combat overhaul item in my hotbar, and the footsteps never come back until i save and leave, then relaunch, its very odd

@Maltiez  Based

No

Please, add compatibility with Kemono

Update XSkills

Anyone else having problems with projectiles going right through enemies? default projectiles like throwing rocks still works but any weapon using this mods aiming system including the crossbows and firearms has the projectiles pass right through the enemy doing no damage. I reinstalled this and all related mods and still no luck. is it because im on 1.20.12 and the mod is just outdated?

propaneko - no idea, Im just reporting what I observed. Before I installed this mod I made batch of spears and just hung those on a wall rack. Went back, to fetch fresh batch and all of them were at ( I think) half health - value which corresponds to vanila durability. My guess would be that existing items have durability cached and check against predefined "constant", which this mod changed. So while my existing spears retained OG duralibity, mod offset value and game display them at 50%. Though it just my guess.

Apologies, I've checked a few places but I can't seem to find information on the mechanics themselves. The number data is nice, but I don't see anything in game, or out, that goes over what each additional mechanic does exactly.
Like how to control the swings (I assume the UI element around the crosshair indicates what direction i'm swinging, but i'm not sure how it works with spears.)
How parries are intended to function, or what changing grip on the spear does beyond changing reach. (if anything)

Is there a site/document I missed somewhere?

Is there any plan to make the weapons draw over blocks like vanilla tools, instead of clipping into blocks?

All bows are invisible on 1.20.12, not sure why.

edit-  Apparently this issue was caused by ReShade, I guess they interfere with each other for some reason. Holding the bow spams this error as well : [Error] after final compo - OpenGL threw an error: InvalidOperation. Enable Gl Debug Mode in the settings or clientsettings.json to track this error

Thank you for updating to the 1.21.0pre! I truly enjoy your mod so much.

Dont know if someone needs it, but for class pourpouse the malfactor battelaxe / battleaxes proficiency is applied to both long axes and poleaxes

I have an issue where disabling "modify_vanilla_classes" is still applying the traits to classes

is there a way to configurate this mods attack speed (remove the hit lag/stagger when landing multiple hits)
I'm an animator and artist, not a coder Dx

EDIT: I've figured it out 

Q_qTip it doesn't downgrade anything, just increases max durability you can have on weapon. You don't lose anything compared to vanilla.

@EventidesTurmoil Yes, short swords only have a stabbing animation that alternates left and right while longsword use animations from all 4 sides. 

WARNING: it seems taht this mod will kidn of "downgrade" existing weapons. I think it bumps durability of weapons, but only if those did not exist prior to installation. So if you have brand new tin bronze spear at 100%, it will end up at 50% ish?

Is there a way to rebind the spear grip and throw combinations without completely rebinding right click? On some trackpads and mice it is not possible to hold right click and then left click, which makes throwing spears impossible.

Are Steel short swords supposed to only use the stabbing animation? Cause the rest of the long swords use slashing animations.

It seems that ranged weapons like bows and crossbows crash the game without the crash report, the moment I grab a longbow it starts a doomsday clock and it just closes the game, no issue tracker or nothing, I've tested my other mods if they don't cause the issue but it seems that this one is the issue

Fishs not sure I 100% understand your question but both mods will work on the latest version of the game (or any 1.20.X probably). Most of the time you only need to worry about the first 2 numbers of the version (1.20) when it comes to mod compatablity.

dont get having this for 1.20.4 but overhaul lib is made for 1.20.7 and up or is it that overhaul is only required for 1.20.7 and up

Hi,

For couple of weeks I have this error, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I checked if its something from other mods. Got lots of them, mostly mods for QoL stuff.

Regarding combat and items (armors, weapons) only Combat Overhaul mods from Malitez

Right now you can do 360 drags like its Chivalry and hit 15 targets in a single downward chop. Needs to be configurable so we can specify how momentum\sweeps carry damage through targets and active hitbox duration. Preferably scaling up and down for damage based on a 'goldilocks zone' for each attack type

Is there any way to change the Alt keybind? Can't find anything in the config or controls. I use the alt key for other things and its getting really annoying.

great, thanks for the heads-up

Taeo

Seperate mod now: https://news.kalataka.ru/toolsanimations

Are tool animations (pickaxe, axe etc) still working for everyone else? I've updated to 1.20.12 and took the opportunity to update all of the combat overhaul stuff, but I just get vanilla animations now

Has anyone encountered and have a fix for the bug where the 2 handed weapon raidial wheel is perminately visable?

2 quick questions:

Is there any manual how to handle this mod? There are alot of opions, like 3 layers of armor, but almost no explanation.

Some people write about incompability with Xskills. How dose that look (or not look) because both mods can run at the same time. What is broken then?

@Kaschperle , @Eventide215, @Keven_McScrooge (and everyone else): Alright, here they are.

OverhaulLib: https://news.kalataka.ru/show/mod/25140 - Now a patch, not a fork.

Combat Overhaul: https://news.kalataka.ru/show/mod/25143 - No longer necessary.

@Maeyanie Please do!

Maeyanie I'd gladly take an unofficial temporary fork. From the looks of it, Maltiez hasn't been around. Can't play this game without the mod.

Maeyanie I'd happily would like to get the patched version of it till maltiez is back ! :) 

Yeah, I'd throw in few $ for a fix too.

... Or I'd waste 5 hours debugging the problem and fix it myself. 😉

Cheers for open source. I've sent in a pull request with the fix (or at least, it seems to have fixed it for me).

Hopefully @Maltiez is around and can make an official update in relatively short order, but if not, I can post an unofficial temporary update myself if people want.

@Terawyn Damn man You saved me hours of checking all mods back and forth. Thank you

Hoping for the bow fix here as well...

@Maltiez if we all put money together, will you fix this please? I'm willing to chip in to a Patreon or whatever and I'm sure others are as well. haha

FWIW, I tried recompiling OverhaulLib against 1.20.11, and it didn't fix things.

Any word from the mod author on the mod update?

For those experiencing the crashing but from bows, So was I.  And it literally broke mine and my friends server.  It's DUE to an update with 1.20.11 changing things with their library.

[For coders: we did not change the API, but if your mod's code references ServerMain.Clients with VintagestoryLib.dll as a dependency, you will likely need to recompile against the 1.20.11 version of VintagestoryLib.dll. Harmony patches which make code changes deep within VintagestoryLib might also need attention: most of the entity physics, animations and general entity ticking code in the engine has been changed.]


If you want to keep combat overhaul you will have to downdate to 1.20.10 until we get an update for combat overhaul.  This fixed my server after hours of trying other solutions.

Getting the same problems. Bows, especially the Longbow crashes the game for me. Only sometimes, but... shrug

Edit: Oh, no. It's all the bows. But it seems weirdly random of when it happens. Usually instantly, but sometimes it just... lets to shoot it. Until it crashes.

Hi, just wondering, what is the effect of layering armour? I.e. wearing plate over gambeson?

Needs an update, crashing with ranged weapons on the new Vintage Story update. 1.20.11 . Getting no errors was frustrating, had to come here into the comments to find out i wasn't the only one.

I am having the Ranged weapons crash issue as well

In the most recent Update bows and ranged weapons cause crashes,

Does anyone know of a combatible version to switch to, or if a mod update is coming?

Can you please add a video or short text guide on how to make patches for your mod? 

To those experiencing crashes - I believe they are related to ranged weapons in combat overhaul. Experiment with bows, or even crossbows if you have those installed. Sometimes they may work for a short period, but they consistently crash my game the moment upon equipping or loading the weapon. After putting my crossbow away I have not experienced any more crashes.

EDIT: this is, as far as I can tell, only with the latest game update.

As of 1.20.11, my server is regularly having 2-4 clients crash simultaneously with the following stacktrace shown to the clients. We couldn't find any specific behaviour to trigger it, but when it happens, the clients that crash are roughly nearby eachother (so presumably its _something_ in the loaded world), but it does not consistently happen to all clients in an area nor does it only happen to the same clients each time (eg. when travelling as 5, I crashed alongside 2 friends twice, and then I didn't crash the next 3 times when the others did -- and 1 client who wasn't near us didn't crash all session), and it happened in several different locations (quite far from eachother).

[trimmed]

1.20.11 mentions lots of performance/ticking code changes, so that seems quite likely related.

1.20.11 will randomly crash with no VS error log, event viewer reveals:

the following crash log: https://hastebin.com/share/qebupoguna.vbnet

Is there no way to lock attack direction? Very annoying when trying to aim a pike on an elk and having your character try and hit from the top. Please add!

Love the mod, from every aspect!

My only complaint:
Can't use weapons while shields are up! 😭


Is there a setting I missed or it is completely removed?
I like the idea of while actively shielding yourself blocks your vision, but still able to poke or swing!

On latest update 1.20.11, holding a longbow crashes the game client within a few seconds of holding it or attempting to fire it.

The spear is broken in someways

-If you use a bow then switch to a spear the cursor would be fixed at the last position the bow's cursor was at

-Grip length controls are inconsistant:

If one handed, moving the wheel up would increase and decrease indiscriminately

If two handed, they seem to be reversed

Wheel up: pulls the spear head closer

Wheel down: pushes the spear head away

can you fix the spear animations? :c

I believe this may currently be incompatible with 1.20.11 rc, specifically regarding bows. I have a consistently reproducable hard crash whenever:

a) Holding the longbow at all
b) Drawing the recurve bow back

Reverted to 1.20.10, and both worked correctly with no crashing. Crash on 1.20.11 freezes the game and causes a popup reporting "unexpected parameter" and doesn't update the crash log. 

Yesterday everything was fine when I was Testing, but today, now I can't even swing or hit anything? It does no animation at all or do dmg

I do indeed. tyvm

l0rdj33bus55 Are you using the "Display Container Versatility" mod? It conflicts with helmets from this mod for some reason. Gotta pick one or the other for now.

All helmets are middle/outer layers and not the layers they are supposed to be. how would one go about fixing this?

getting this error at my server :/

Does anyone know what attack tier are tools if used with Tool Mastery perk from combat? And what damage type?

How does armor stacks (using the Armory mod)? I made my first suit of Plate armor and noticed it only covers the outter shell, if I wear mid and inner layer armors will the protection stack?
