  changelog v1.4
  -------FEATURES-------
  Crossbow Enhancements (Crossbows now except sword upgrades in addition to ammunition effects)
  
  ---------BUGS---------
  Drag and drop does not work nor does the ui react completely correctly to the changes. Sadly this can't be changed unless CDPR release something I can extract and compile .redswf files with. For those that really don't like this simply remove the scripts folder from mods/modRCR/content. And you'll have all the standard bolt and crossbow changes.

The Ranged Combat Overhaul has been inspired by the Improved Bolts mod and hopes to extend this idea into a full ranged combat overhaul that will make the crossbow a much more viable alternative in combat. What I'm going for with this mod is to give each ammunition type a distinct use case, extend customisability of bows and broaden the range of damage types and effects available. For a full list of changes by version have a look at the changelog and please leave any comments, suggestions, bugs etc in the comments section. They're always welcome. Compatible with 1.12.1 and NG+
