Utility Spells - No Cooldowns

This mod removes cooldowns from 24 non-offensive utility and skilling spells in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Offensive combat spells are not modified. Rune costs, spell effects, animations and unlock requirements remain unchanged.

The mod now uses UE4SS and modifies utility spell cooldowns dynamically at runtime.

- Detect Ore base spell
- Detect Anima Vents
- Farming Rapid Growth variant
- Superheat
- Overdrive

TECHNICAL INFORMATION


The mod uses UE4SS Lua to modify the cooldown behaviour of 24 non-offensive UtilitySpellData entries at runtime.

Unlike the previous PAK/IoStore version, the mod does not replace packaged game assets.

The current version uses cached access to the player's utility magic component and optimized cooldown checking to avoid unnecessary repeated object searches and excessive game-thread work.

Rune costs, spell effects, animations, unlock requirements and offensive combat spells remain unchanged.


WHY UE4SS?


The original version used UE5.6 PAK/IoStore files.

The mod was later moved to UE4SS because the packaged version had reliability and compatibility issues. UE4SS provides better runtime control over the cooldown system and makes it easier to maintain, troubleshoot and update the mod without replacing original game assets.

For this type of runtime gameplay modification, UE4SS is the more flexible approach and will be the version maintained going forward.
