Mountain Blade - It's Sword of Long

Expands the part size limit in the crafting menu from +-10 to +-50. Also optionally compensates for one handed bladed weapons receiving terrible stats once over length 110.


Mod Description:

There is an outdated mod here that I had once used, which also expanded the range of crafting sizes. However, it did so by applying an internal multiplication to the still vanilla +-10 slider , so for example with a x4 factor, it would be +-40, but creating two major problems in the process:
- The adjustment would come in +-4 steps (with the x4 multiplier), which was terrible for fine tuning and actually made fulfilling some recipes impossible.
- Vanilla weapons carried by NPC soldiers would also be scaled, so a +10% sized weapon would suddenly become a +40% sized monster slayer, while their small daggers would slip into the near invisible spectrum.

My mod however now only changes the slider size by manipulating "CraftingPieceGrid.xml", so there are simply more slider options, and the base game functionality is left intact.

Mod Options:

Motivation:
In addition to that, I found that one handed swords had terrible stats exactly as they left the game purview of +-10% part sizes. (might be the reason why they put in such harsh restrictions, but I am speculating)
Analyzing their physics calculation in the vanilla code revealed two likely causes. One is rather mathematical and difficult to explain here, but the second and more likely culprit is that their blade weight base stats are probably overestimated. For example, the rather large classic british longsword had its center of mass about 8-10cm above its guard, but after my calculation even small Mount and Blade swords move into a 27-42% range of the blade length, which is about 30cm from the guard. (on a longsword sized one ~40cm) This then produces immense imbalance, causing both damage and, -even more-, swing speed to drop rapidly and make the weapon completely impossible to use.

Actual Changes:
Since the issue lies with the crafting component data, I dared not to attempt such a fundamental wide-scoped change when I only wanted functional larger weapons. Hence I introduced a small physics patch only applying to one-handed bladed weapons which counter-corrects damage to at least stay around constant up to size +50. Note, this still means large one-handed weapons become more ineffective "DPS" wise, since swing-speeds and handling will justifiably drop. (you got to pay for the range advantage with something after all) But at least it is an option now, whereas vanilla would drop efficiency to ~25%, with this it comes to about 65% on the largest +50 size.

If you don't want that change, you can disable it in the MCMenu.
