yeah you have to be atleast 2 meters away but some time npcs in towns still cant be shot the bullets or arrows go through them. nut i can snipe people on the other side of the map with my pistol after a little editing i only have ~100 2 handed skill
Looking through my file, Mount&Blade/Data/item_kinds1 text document, I don't see the cartridge listed anywhere, let alone after bolts... Do you have to add in your code? Or should it already be listed and you just edit that data?
I tried to open it with the Unofficial Editor, but it is already a merchandise and should appear in stores. But the Editor is for 0.711 and the codes may have changed.
