Free fight

- Combat stand in the vanilla game does not allow you to run, only a sprint on which you spend endurance. Maud adds a running-enabled combat rack and a regular rack (all of which can be selected in the middle of battle). The configuration is called Enemy strafing and has the following options:

 1. Enabled, running disabled - vanilla game behavior, Geralt fights in the combat stand and can not run;

 2. Enabled, running enabled - Heralt fights in the combat stand and can run;

 3. Off - Geralt fights in a regular stand (as outside the fight) and can run.

- Supports jumping (toggles in the middle of the battle).

- Enables looting (switches in mid-battle, but with delay).

- Allows you to set the enemy level below/above the player level by the desired amount (can be randomized).

- Adds the speed multiplier of combat animation (range: from normal to twice as fast).

- Adds a multiplier of random damage to too weak/strong enemies, regardless of the difficulty of the game (adjustable in the middle of the battle, range: from half to double damage).

- Adds a multiplier that determines the chance of dealing damage to too weak/strong enemies, regardless of the difficulty of the game (adjusted in the middle of the battle, range: from half to double damage).

- Allows you to establish the chance of weapons degradation (100% no fashion, at 0% weapons will not degrade).

- Adjusts the chance of armor degradation (100% no fashion, 0% armor will not degrade).

- Can speed up, slow down or pause the game.

- Just for fun: allows you to mock the enemy at your discretion.

Free Combat Lite is a lightweight version that supports only enemy shelling, jumping and looting.

How to install?

1. Extract the downloaded .zip file to [Witcher 3 main folder].

2. Add the following key bindings to the [Battle] section in C:\Users\[User]\Documents\The Witcher 3\input.settings:

  IK_8=(Action=ToggleEnemyStrafing) - Toggles all three options of enemy fire.

  IK_D=(Action=ToggleEnemyStrafingCombat) - switches only between attacking the opponent with running and no running (combat posts)

  IK_Q=(Action=ToggleJumping)

  IK_W=(Action=ToggleLooting)

  IK_Space=(Action=CbtJump)

  IK_A=(Action=CbtTaunt)

  IK_9=(Action=Acceleration)

  IK_0=(Action=Deceleration)

  IK_P=(Action=Pause)

  IK_NumPad4=(Action=DecDamageTakenMultiplier)

  IK_NumPad5=(Action=IncDamageTakenMultiplier)

  IK_NumPad7=(Action=DecDamageDealtMultiplier)

  IK_NumPad8=(Action=IncDamageDealtMultiplier)

  and change them to different keys if you want. You don't have to add them all, just add the ones you're going to use.

3. For Next Gen only (FC 4.10+): To see the fashion menu, insert

  modfreecombat.xml; (or modfreecombatlite.xml;)

  end

  [Witcher 3 home folder]\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\dx11filelist.txt (or dx12filelist.txt,

  depending on which version of the game you are using).

If you use multiple mods, you will most likely need to combine them using Script Merger.

Enabling Set enemy level relative to the player's level and adjust the enemy level relative to the player's level to control the enemy level: below, at or above the player's level (negative, 0 or positive). Enabling the Random enemy level feature randomizes the enemy relative to the player's level. Enemy level increase must be disabled.
