[b]DESCRIPTION[/b]

Cocking a crossbow in KCD2 takes an eternity, and by the time you're spanned the fight has usually moved on without you. This mod doubles the speed of every crossbow spanning animation so the weapon stays viable mid-combat without turning it into a machine gun. 2x keeps the weight and feel of the animation while cutting the dead time in half.

[b]MAIN FEATURES[/b]

All 25 crossbow cocking/spanning animations run at 2x speed. This covers standing, stealth, and horseback spanning, all crossbow weight classes (light, medium, heavy), and the loaded-idle transition animations, so the speedup is consistent no matter how or where you reload. Nothing else in the animation database is touched: bows, melee, NPC animations, and all other timings remain vanilla.

[b]INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS[/b]

1. Download and extract the archive.
2. Copy the FasterCrossbowCocking2x folder into your Mods folder (create it if it doesn't exist):
  ...\KingdomComeDeliverance2\Mods\FasterCrossbowCocking2x
3. You should end up with Mods\FasterCrossbowCocking2x\mod.manifest and Mods\FasterCrossbowCocking2x\Data\FasterCrossbowCocking2x.pak
4. Launch the game. No new save required. Uninstall by deleting the folder.

[b]REQUIREMENTS[/b]

No dependencies beyond the base game. IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE: this mod replaces Animations/Mannequin/ADB/kcd_male_database.adb in full. It is incompatible with any other mod that edits the same file (faster herb picking, faster dice, dialogue animation tweaks, other reload speed mods, etc.). If two mods replace this file, only the one loading last takes effect. If you run another ADB mod, you need a merged patch rather than both mods side by side.

[b]SHOUT OUTS[/b]

Thanks to solleo95, whose original Faster Crossbow Reload mod identified the full set of spanning animations this mod adjusts. This is essentially that mod retuned from instant to a balanced 2x. Thanks also to zsadik52, whose bow charge mod's clean param-table approach made diagnosing the ADB conflict that inspired this rebuild much easier.
