Glory of Weapon Trails

Once lost to time, this mod has risen back to the light.


Hello everyone,

This is the 'Weapon Trails' variant of the Glory of Combat mod.



Glory of Combat re-balances the combat system through hundreds of adjustments to attack animations and combo sequences, as well as damage + stamina cost multipliers. A number of aesthetic changes have been made as well, including to sound effects and weapon trails.

I would encourage you to read the description of the main mod or the documentation guide I have provided here for more information.

The main version of the mod uses colorless 'air-cutting' weapon trail effects uniformly across all attacks of all weapon types. However, throughout the years many players have asked for a version of the mod with the bright, colorful streaks of death they had become accustomed to, so here we are.



Bleed, Cripple, and Sunder visual effects have returned to their relevant attacks, and regular attacks now use either the standard 'air-cutting' effect or the Heavy trail effect depending on weapon type and animation.

Because some attacks inflict multiple status effects, a hierarchy of appearance has been set up. Bleed effects will take precedent, followed by Sunder effects, followed last by Cripple effects.

For now, attacks with a shield will not have weapon trail effects applied. Special weapons that apply status effects with each hit will still use the weapon trail setup of their base weapon type.



This version of the mod is standalone, as it includes all changes made by the main mod in addition to the weapon trail adjustments. It's not recommended to use this mod alongside the base version of Glory of Combat, but there shouldn't be any major issues from doing so.

Known incompatible mods will be listed in Discussions as they are reported.

If, for one reason or another, you do not like what I did with a particular weapon, it is possible to override that portion of my mod with another. You must ensure that the other mod is lower in the load order than mine for their changes to appear. Double check when you move mods around in the load order.

The mod may be added to or removed from an existing playthrough without issue.



Thank you all for reading,
