Dual Wielding!

​

About

This mod enables the player to use almost any pair of items simultanously, wildly changing how Terraria is played. From holding a torch up at all times, to using two Last Prisms at the same time, or even using your weapon with your pickaxe, dual wielding offers many new experiences. '' (or '' for short) has been a 'pet project' of mine going as far back as early 2012, originally written as a standalone mod, then passed unto tConfig, then tAPI, and now tModLoader;I hope you'll all have fun with it!(This mod is multiplayer compatible!)

Convenient offhand item management through a 'memory slot' system

DW allows you to hold & use two items at the same time - through an extensive 'memory slot' system. Once you assigned items in your memory slots (tagging them as 'offhand' items), you can use them by right-clicking with your mouse. When your items provide right-click features, they are incompatible with dual wielding, and are simply ignored by the mod. (they still function perfectly fine!) Right-clicking still functions for all original purposes - you will be able to talk to NPCs, interact with tiles and all that without interference - basic functions take priority over using the offhand item.With your inventory open, if you look at the hotbar, you'll notice there's a set of item slots positioned behind it - those are your offhand 'memory' slots. Hovering over the top of those slots will put them in the front, letting you assign items in them.. Because memory slots don't hold any items, you can assign the same item to multiple ones - setting it as the offhand item across your entire hotbar. Whenever you have a hotbar slot's item selected - your offhand item will be the one best fitting the memory slot with the matching number. For convenience - even if you temporarily lose or change the item, the memory stays.Whenever you use an item that requires ammo via offhand, it looks for ammo in an upside-down order, allowing you to mix ammo types when dual wielding.The mod comes with a toggleable balance setting - between 'on' and 'off'. (default: on)This balance setting is per world, and applies to everyone in the world during multiplayer.This setting does not appear in any option menus, and instead is set via a chat command.Note that the "/dwbalance" command can be used from a server's console, in singleplayer chat, and from host & play chat - only by the host. With the balance setting on, whenever you use a hotbar slot containing 2 weapons that are melee, ranged, or magic, the following effects will occurIn addition, with the balance setting on, whenever simultanously using any two items, your shield is visibly removed and you lose any immunity to knockback you may have had.
