This is just a very simple mod which replaces the model of the Sinew bow from From the Ashes DLC to that of one of the Cuman bows. This mod was created at the request of user djaal89.

Stats and everything else remains unchanged, including the icon.

I've included several files that remain unchanged in the mod in case someone wants to tinker with it a bit more. There's a commented line in the player_item__sinew_bow_replacement with the icon changed to that of the same cuman bow for ease of editing, if someone wants to change not only the apperance but the icon as well.

Requires From the Ashes DLC. Use and modify at will but do not monetize.

INSTALLATION

Unpack the file and copy the folder sinew_bow_replacer in your mods folder in the game.

POSSIBLE ISSUES

I test my mods before uploading, so at first they should work, barring
some issues in the long run. If the mod is not working for you, it's
most probably an issue on your part, so check the usual suspects:

1.Folder structure.

Perhaps instead of unpacking the .rar file directly you chose "extract in
[filename] folder and copyied that folder into your mods folder, thus
creating and extra folder that prevents the game from loading the mod.
Make sure you copied the proper folder directly into your
mods folder, the path should be [modname]/data/[filename.pack]. In that regard, I've read that Vortex has issues with
loading mods sometimes with this game, try manually installing the mod.

2.Conflicts with other mods.

Check that you don't have other mods overwritting the same files or rows as this mod, if you do, try the following:

a) Merge this mod with the one conflicting, either by using a xml merger program or manually doing so.

Or

b) Make sure this mod loads last. There's two ways of doing this:

-Create a mod_order.txt file into your mods folder and manyally write the names
of the mods into that file, in the order you want them to load. Be
aware that this also acts as a whitelist of mods to load. Mods not
included in this file won't load. make sure you write the name of the
mods correctly, in this case it's jenda_stinks_best

Or

-Rename the mod_name folder  as zzz_mod_name or some such so
it appears last on the folder order, since in absence of a mod_order.txt
file the game loads the mods in alphabetical order.
