MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR REGULATIONS.BIN BEFORE USING!

BEFORE GOING BACK ONLINE PLEASE REMOVE ALL ASHES OF WAR FROM YOUR BOWS AND RETURN THEM TO STANDARD AFFINITY.

Everything else should be fine for you.

Drop the Regulations.bin file into your Eldenring\Game Directory (should overwrite your file, again back it up first)

If you want to use the changed names/descriptions of items you need to dump ER with UXM then take the item.msgbnd.dcx file and place it in ELDEN RING\Game\msg\engus.
You can then repatch your Elden Ring, and it will apply the added descriptions and names. this is not mandatory, but all the items will have the name ?Weapon? and Description of ?Description?




Elden Ring - Gunner Edition

Goal of the mod: Fix Bows. They're bad. I want them to be fun, but not too strong, and have options with ashes and affinities like every weapon does.
Crossbows/Ballista: Reintroduce them as a ranged alternative for those who don't want to invest in Dex/Str Scaling.


Changelog:

V.07

Fixed some things I broke in the last updload I HOPE. (crafting arrows is back to 30x instead of 10x)

Throwables cost more FP now:
Throwing Daggers - 0 -> 1FP
Fan Kives - 2 -> 3FP
Most Pots - 2 -> 6FP
Bigger Pots - 6 -> 10FP
Other Pots - +4FP

Crossbows can now be buffed! Lowered based damage to compensate. Should allow for more variety.

Greases are now crafted in batches of 2 instead of 1.

Bone Arrows/bolts are now Strike Damage, bones are kind of blunt right? Messages File update to reflect these changes.

V.02

Added Names/Descriptions for weapons with new affinities


V.01

All Bows: Increased Base scaling by ~100%. (Most bows go From E/D in STR/DEX to D/C)

Most Bows: Non-unique bows have been given affinity options, all the options. Affinities that would apply a status such as Bleed/Poison/Cold
still do apply these bonuses, but the value on the bow may be off from what it actually provides.* *Status values given to bows don't actually do anything as the bow is not what is making contact, but I feel i should put it there
just so you know you have it. These bonuses DO apply extra bleed/poison/frost to ALL arrow types, and stacking with their appropriate arrows. Values are Generally ~55, but im not sure if THAT scales with arcane, hence why the numbers may be off.

Misbegotten Bow: Focused more on STR scaling over Dex
Red Branch Shortbow: Given Longbow Range, but with reduced damage
Composite Bow: Best Dext scaling shortbow now
Harp Bow: Along with increased scaling, The harp bow now provides Sleep Status to all arrows, because its a harp, why wasn't this alreaeedy a thing? To go with the sleep-crit setup its Weapon Art has been changed to Assassin's Gambit for stealth gameplay.

Albinauric Bow: Given a 10% buff to damage when used while crouching. (The albinaurics can't walk, and they hit HARD, fits thematically)
Horn Bow: Converted to pure magic, no affinities available to this bow. restores 3FP on Kills
Erdtree Bow: High Faith scaling bow w/ passive 2HP/sec Healing. Deals 20% bonus damage to undead, Weapon Art changed to Holy Ground
Serpent Bow: Poisons applied by Serpent bow are stronger than normal poisons, because it SHOULD have been that way. (14 + .3%hp/sec over 45s instead of 7 + .03%hp/sec over 90s)
Pulley Bow: No affinity options, Given more range, and now shoots Great Arrows. Weaker than a greatbow but this now provides a unique style over other bows as greatarrows are more limited, but now travel much faster than standard arrows.
Black Bow: No affinity options, Given A Tier Dex Scaling, Has 15% increased damage with barrage.

Ashes of war that can now be applied to bows:

Quickstep - Short bow only
Beasts Roar
Bloodhound Step - Short bow only
Raptor of the mists - Short Bow Only
Storm Stomp
Determination
RKR
Lightning Ram
Thunderbolt
Glintstone Pebble
Carian Greatsword
Glintblade Phalanx
Golden Vow

Kick
Ground Slam
Hoarah Loux's Earthshaker
Trolls Roar
Flame of the Redmanes
Poisonous Mist
Hoarfrost Stomp
Chilling Mist
Ice Spear
Spectral Lance
Assassin's Gambit - Short bow Only
White's Shadow Lure

All of the bow ashes of wars can still be used and now offer affinities to bows assuming you have the proper whetstone.

Arrow Changes:

Stormwing Bone Arrow: Now fires 3 arrows in a cone, making them great for enemies that dodge. Reduced damage 40 -> 5
Serpent Arrows: Now apply a stronger poison than standard poison arrows. (7+.03%hp/sec for 90s -> 10+.1%hp/sec for 90s)
Kale Now sells Flight pinions to craft arrows (cant promise the bell bearing will offer it)

Greatbows: Largely unchanged due to the game REALLLY not wanting to give greatbows elements/affinities/ashes. Made them comfier though

Lion Greatbow: No Affinity Options, has 20% increased damage with Radahn's Rain of Arrows skill
Golem Greatbow: No Affinity Options, has 20% increased stamina damage with greatarrows (easier to break guards)
Erdtree Greatbow: High Faith scaling Holy Greatbow, has increased damage vs undead.
Greatbow: Has Affinities for Standard, Heavy, and Keen allowing for more customization; lower damage than other greatbows by default.

Great Arrow Changes:
All great arrows now travel at 50% increased velocity, making them much better at longer ranges for sniping
All Great arrows now deal 5x more stamina damage, allowing them to actually break guards with a few hits.
Reduced carry capacity of great arrows from 30 to 25.** With the increased bow damage, and velocity I feel like less arrows are needed since you will be missing a lot less.

Crossbow Changes: Greatly increased base damage across the board, most crossbows are now ~350-500 damage (still no scaling) when fully upgraded. ** Crossbows are slow, and useless and nobody wants them. I want to make them more appealing to have as a side armament to use for either pulling OR finishing off enemies. To compensate for their increased damage, ive reduced the carry capacity of bolts to 15 for standard bolts, and 10 for status bolts.

Soldiers Crossbow: Base Damage 54 -> 110
Light Crossbow: Reduced Weight, and Ranged, Base Damage 58 -> 90
heavy Crossbow: Increased Range, base Damage 64 -> 125
Pulley Crossbow: Base Damage 65 -> 85
Full Moon Crossbow: Base Damage 50 -> 10, Base Magic Damage 50 -> 115
Arbalest: Reduced Range, Base Damage 69 -> 140. (yes it hits hard)
Black-key Crossbow: Increased range, Base damage: 68 -> 135

Bolt changes:

Reduced all bolt carry capacity from 99 to 20 for standard bolts, and from 99 to 15 for elemental/status bolts. *I want to reiterate the fact that these are for pulling and finishing off enemies, hence the big damage buff, but lack of ammo.
All Bolts have 30% increased velocity, making them more reliable than arrows against moving targets.
All Bolts deal ~2.5x more status/elemental damage. (should take 2-3 bolts to poison/bleed/freeze)

Ballista Changes Focus: Wanted to make the SUPER slow ballista more appealing with more investment, and make them better than Greatbows when fully upgraded, as they take longer to recover.

Hand Ballista: Given D/D STR/DEX scaling (yeah lol), Increased Range
Jar Cannon: Given D/D STR/DEX scaling. Increased Range

Great Bolt Changes:

All Great Bolts now travel about 50% faster, making them more reliable for sniping and for moving targets.
All Great Bolts have reduced carry capacity, from 20 to 15.
