I have suggested this months ago, but coming back to playing occasionally, I remembered this idea. All I want is a visual path for the player to see when aiming down the bow, similar to Molotov and bombs. RETRACTED
#Visual projectile path for bows

At this point I am willing to pay for someone to make this mod. Dm's are open if you think you can make this mod and list your price. Please be patient in waiting for a reply (first time paying for mods like this) **RETRACTED **

There is an old mod here (https://github.com/willis81808/BowTrajectory) that pretty much does what you want. However, it is bugged in several ways. The worst bug is that special arrows won't do anything special at all. Eplosive arrows won't explode, shock arrows won't electrify enemies, etc. Another "bug" is that the actual hit point is a little bit higher than the predicted one, which may not actually be a bug because even for spear the predicted hitpoint is not accurate.
I moved (identically copied) the old mod to utilize the RedLoader facility and now it seems like the first bug is gone, making it actually usable.. However, besides the inaccurate prediction, for some reason the rendered projectile path is really ugly. I currently don't have enough knowledge to delve into that.
Here is the mod: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ITs14vsV8F4IFi3vW1cvuGpwKylqyXWC/view?usp=sharing
Unzip the content into your "Mods" folder in the game root directory.

Sadly that mod is for bepinex and not redloader
It's also built into redloader itself, but it's not super accurate so you can't enable it

Codengine pointed out that redloader has some latent code in it that allows it to work with redloader. However I was under the impression that this code was disabled due to competition with BepInEx. However I don't think it necessarily has to be that way. Both loaders could be supported.
BepinEx is not exclusively a thunderstore thing. Its used in some respectable modding communities like subnautica.

What Terro meant is that the bow path thing was included in redloader at some point, but tony removed it because it wasn't accurate (if I got that correctly)
ornate aurora
Oh okay.
One thing I was thinking though
what about a bow laser pointer or something like that?
basically what the laser site does.
abstract ginkgo
That could help, but I was thinking maybe tony will make the feature back ( this is why I didn't bother look into this further).
ornate aurora
Personally I think a laser sight is way more immersive.

I don't think that's true, iirc the compatibility thing was inherited from melonloader but it needs more work to make it fully working so it was disabled
ornate aurora
Yea. I had some suspicions, but figured it could just as easily be that too.
plus running two modloaders at once can be prone to bugs
and add an extra layer of work to troubleshoot stuff
abstract ginkgo
It isn't running both loaders tho, it's more like both of codes are supported by the same loader, Running two loader is not possible afaik
ornate aurora
Understood
abstract ginkgo
You can try this. It is made from what was disabled in redloader.

As far as I could tell in a short test, that works pretty much how I envisioned. Thank you

does this still work properly?
because i don't think it does, the given path for arrows is always a straight line

would it be possible to update this mod?
ornate aurora
Everything is possible. Its more so a question if someone is willing and/or how feasible an idea is.
left crest
i mean, from what i can tell this isn't on RedModManager and you can only get it from this channel so far
ornate aurora
Yea. I assume thats because it isn't meant to be public now. As it was taken down due to not being accurate enough.
Its up in the air as to whether it will be updated.
rotund phoenix
I don't know who the creator is and I don't know if he is on the discord but I hope he is encouraged to update this.
Or better that you create a mod that allows you to put a Lazer on the bows to be able to aim better and be more realistic.
left crest
laser on bow doesn't make any sense since arrows don't fly in a straight line but fall downwards as they travel
ornate aurora
I doesn't function like that in game. Arrows shot just go straight.
left crest
oh really? i didn't know that
ornate aurora
yea
