About this project

What does Spartan x Better Combat add?

Gives all 364 Spartan Weaponry Unofficial melee weapons their own Better Combat animation: katanas combo, halberds sweep, warhammers slam. Without it, they all swing like a sword.

New in 0.2.0: also the 220 dragon bone, dragonsteel and myrmex weapons of Spartan Weaponry: Ice and Fire Unofficial (optional, when that addon is installed).

Data only, no code. Damage, speed and reach stay as Spartan sets them.

Katana Katana Two 4

Heavy Crossbow Heavy crossbow (hold pose) Two -

364 weapons, every material. Ice and Fire weapons (dragon bone, flamed/iced/lightning dragon bone, fire/ice/lightning dragonsteel, desert/jungle myrmex chitin and stinger) get the same animation per type. Javelins, throwing knives, tomahawks and boomerangs are left alone so they still throw.

Requires: Spartan Weaponry Unofficial and Better Combat, on client and server.

Credits: Spartan Weaponry Unofficial and Better Combat belong to their authors. The logo uses Spartan Weaponry Unofficial's iron glaive and halberd sprites (Apache 2.0), modified.
