Description

Attack Cancel

Cut off any attack at any moment: dodge, spell, Vigor skill, jump or the next attack. Built on the current game version.

What it does

You can cut off any attack at any moment, from the first frame of the swing to its end:

  • with a dodge,
  • with a spell,
  • with a Vigor skill,
  • with a jump (in the attacks that allow a jump),
  • with the next light attack (the next hit of the combo can start right away).

This covers the light attack combo, the heavy attacks and the charged attacks. In the game these actions are only possible in parts of each attack.

The mod is built on the game's current attack animations (version 1.0.21). Everything the game's later patches added stays, for example drinking from the gourd during an attack and the input buffering for dodge and spells.

How to install

  1. Download the zip of the latest release on GitHub (wukong_attackcancel_<version>.zip).
  2. Open the game folder b1\Content\Paks\. If it has no folder ~mods, create it.
  3. Unpack wukong_attackcancel_99_P.pak from the zip into b1\Content\Paks\~mods\.
  4. Add the launch option -fileopenlog: in Steam, right-click the game, Properties, General, Launch Options. Without it the game does not load mods from ~mods.
  5. Start the game.

To update the mod, replace the file with the one of the new release. To remove it, delete the file; the launch option can stay.

How to use

Nothing to do: the mod works as soon as you load a game. Press dodge, a spell, a Vigor skill, jump or light attack during an attack to cut it off.

Compatibility

  • Game version: 1.0.21 (1.0.21.23831).
  • The mod replaces the player's 25 attack animations (AM_Wukong_ComboA_*, AM_Wukong_xuli_*). A mod that replaces the same animations conflicts with this one; only one of them works. Mods that change tables (stats, levels, buffs) work next to it.
  • It replaces the older "Better attack" mod (attackcancel_P.pak): remove that one.
  • A game update that changes these animations needs a new build of the mod. Until then, the mod puts the older versions back; remove the mod after a game update until a new version is out.

Known issues

None yet.

How to build

Anyone can build this mod from its source code and check that the download matches it.

  1. Install Python 3 (https://www.python.org; no extra package needed). Windows PowerShell 5.1 is part of Windows. A mod with assets (.uasset) also needs UAssetGUI and the game's mapping file; README.md says where.
  2. Build it: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\build.ps1
  3. Find the file: dist\wukong_attackcancel_99_P.pak. README.md has the details.
