Ped Damage Overhaul 2.0 BETA 7

Ooooooohhhh. Checking out update asap, sounds great. Also thanks for the explanation about knockdowns I wasn't sure there.

 

I'll try to keep suggestions more concise in the future too, thanks again Hugh.

 

edit

 

Tested the mod range effect at 10 in godmode, and it is hard to tell how far (or to who) it applies at times, but it certainly makes a difference to framerate in saint denis, so thats really great! Nice one. So is it based on the number of NPCs the script is being applied to? Or is it a distance setting? Either way i will test it more.

 

I put the disarm chance to 40 at the same time, and while I was able to shoot the rifles out of lawmens hands, i could never seem to disarm them of their revolver without killing them, I wonder if that was related to the mod effect range too?

 

Loving all the new variables 😄 Thanks so much, lots of testing to do

 

Please share your findings.

I would guess its the number of NPCs affected, but thats only a guess. There is no proper documentation, so I dont know :/

Okie sooo;

 

Noticable dropoff in FPS when mod range is set to the default 1024 compared to 1, immediately noticable in populated places, between 5-10 fps difference.

 

As you scale up that builds up, but only up to about 150-200 , beyond that it stays about the same (at around 5-10 fps lost).

 

For myself 50 is where it seems to start to kick in and you lose 1-2 fps, so around there is a pretty safe bet for most with issues I would suppose. (my specs are pretty average)

 

Due to these numbers I presume it is to do with the maximum amount of npcs that are being effected at any one time, though I can't be sure if that would mean it is running the entire script on each or splitting up parts of it etc (splitting the "threads" of the script). But it is good to know the rough numbers there for myself, hope this info helps others.

 

 

Also another question Hughjanus; if I reduce the player damage instead of increasing NPC health does that also reduce the damage I deal to animals? And if I reduce the torso/arm/head damage percentage does that also effect animals and the player taking damage?

 

And another request if I could, I'm not sure if you know how but the health regeneration rate controls provided in the difficulty scaler mod would be perfect if available here too, it seems when working this and difficulty scaler can be run side by side, but his damage settings will override yours, and it isnt split into special and non special weapons like yours is (and applies that to all weapons). I know it is a bit of a personal ask, but I thought i'd put it in there just in case you can 🙂

@Adman Thanks for sharing your findings!

 

The mod does not affect animals at all (no matter what you set) - there is a check if you are currently aiming at an animal and if you do, all damage settings are temporarily undone.

Also the body part specific damage only applies to NPCs.

 

As for the regeneration rate - I will take a look into it.

Oh cool, that's good to know on both counts.

 

I am a little confused as to how a couple of the new mechanics work, does the "euphoria" stumble when weak function work like the leg injury stumbling? Or is that different? I noticed in the patch notes you mentioned a stumble when hit chance, is that related to euphoria also, or is that part of the animchance stuff?

 

Apologies for all the staggered questions, and thanks again for being so considerate of feedback and questions.

 

I really love that you were able to add the chances for what enemies do after disarmed, it is so dang good, I personally like them to attack, but have set the other chances to 5% each because it is still hilarious to see them doing such different things at times.

 

For everyone; it seems like whether they put their hands up or cower, they do seem to run away eventually in either case there, so if you like disarms and are still playing the story mode main quests it would be best to set the flee, cower and surrender options to 0 (and attack to 100) to ensure missions won't bug out from enemies that are supposed to die, instead running away.

Edited August 7, 2020 by Adman

@Adman The stumbling when shot thing is describing the behavior when the health of an NPC is under the dying movement threshold, but it is still standing. If the chance for euphoria stumbling is 0, they will just more or less drop (within one or two steps) - if euphoria stumbling is at 100, they will receive a slight push every millisecond, so they stumble for a longer time (doing more steps), but that stumbling is based on the euphoria behavior when pushed (they will grab their wound and stumble around).

The leg injury stumbling is a totally different mechanic.

 

The cower and hands up reactions remain until their health has been decreased by some points (= they get shot) - then they will flee. If you dont hurt them in cowering or hands up, they should stay that way.

Aha, I guess they ran from others shooting in the area, possibly hitting them (was testing with lots of cops about).

 

And thanks for clarifying again, I was thinking it worked completely differently so that helps a lot.

HI! The new performance value really helps with fps drops, when set to 50 or lower. However, I tested a few other variations and the results are strange. I set it to 2, teleported in the middle of the field and spawned 1 ped. The thing is no matter what, the script wouldn't work, but the more important part is that even this way I was still losing about 5 frames in cities(from 70-80 to 70-75). Also in this comment section I've seen you reply with this "there is a check if you are currently aiming at an animal and if you do, all damage settings are temporarily undone.". So maybe this somehow affects performance too? Would be great if you could add this as a new variable in the ini in the next update.

 

Other than that, playing with your mod and without the hud is a blast. Thanks for your work!

This mod is dependant on ScriptHook - as soon as you update ScriptHook, this mod will work as well.

 

Edit: That means as soon as a new ScriptHook version is available, of course 🙂

 

can it already be used with the latest update?

What would you like to be able to change? Animals being affected by damage changes?

This mod does not ever need any update if script hook is updated, you can always use it with any script hook version.

Reporting possible bug: When an npc is hit with a throw-able or arrow that kills them, they just drop with zero force. Its as if the euphoria physics don't kick in at all, they just go limp. If you are having issues understanding what I mean, I might be able to record it. Let me know!

What config are you using and what weapon exactly? Did you alter anything about the config? Do you use any other mods?

Would it be possible to alter ped detection or buff player stealth in a future update? would love this feature, thanks for the mod!

We havent looked into that at all. Dont know if we will add it, since its a little out of scope.

All good, just a suggestion but if it proves out of reach with current modding tools i understand

It happens with any lethal thrown weapon so throwing knives or tomahawks/axes, as well as the bow. I can tell you I've only noticed it  since I've installed the latest patch so I'm assuming it has something to do with that.

 

I did change a few values, although I don't remember all of them (mainly to do with disarming reactions and underwater breathing times) 

 

I do use other mods, although not much mainly just trainers, and they haven't changed since I've updated.

 

I'll post my ini if you feel like looking through it:

First of all, this is the best mod for RDR2 you can get for now in my opinion... I have a lot of fun with it, thank you very much!
Im glad you added the wounded animation, wich i mentioned in my comment before. Its close to perfection now!
There is one little more thing, wich would be very usefull and it would be realy nice to eventually see this in the future!

Would it be possible to give the options in the .ini file wich allow you to change the bullet force for every weapon?
And maybe for every ammo type too?

The reason for this is for example the bolt action rifle sends peds flying because the bullet applies too much force to the body of a npc. The results are spinning bodys or star wars like force effekts... The cal. 22 for example has low demage but the force of the bullets results in a much better euphoria stumbling behavior/ragdoll... i would like to adjust the bullet force of every weapon and the different ammo types... I would be super happy if you could make this possible in the .ini file!

Thanks so far and keep on the good work!

Hey guys @lininop@AbleAtlas,

I tried fixing the headshot knife no impact thing and added a value for the sneaking noise multiplier.

Please test, if possible (as I dont have much time on my hands and the rest of the team is not available this weekend).

 

@AnymYo I think those values can only be changed in the game files (at least I have not found natives for them yet).

@HughJanus 

 

Thanks so much! I tested it for a few minutes and it seems to have fixed the issue.

 

Cheers!

 

Edit: Got to play and test a little more. It's almost fixed. If someone is killed with a body hit of a thrown weapon they still drop unnaturally, while the bow seems to work well and killing shots to the head or non fatal shots to the body look to be working again.

@lininop I only check for headshots, because I figured getting a small knife thrown into an adult body wouldnt make that much of an impact. Should I change that?

@HughJanus I get where you're coming from. However in my opinion, a knife may not, but a tomahawk probably would and this affects both. It's also more noticeable with the tomahawk because it is more likely to kill on a body shot than the knife, and this bug only seems to take place on killing shots. With it the way it is, none of the cool euphoria physics kick in, which means no stumbling and no grabbing at the area of impact, just dropping like a sack of potatoes. I'd say it's most noticeable when you hit a ped with a throwable while they are running because they just lose all momentum and drop which looks a bit odd. 

 

Ultimately, it's up to you. But that's my input!

@HughJanus @fitfondue Do you think it's possible to make npc's survive dismemberment without OpenIV ? 

 

It would be nice to see npcs survive arms/hands dismemberment but i believe this would requires a new layer of behavior by adding animations ( For realism and immersion purposes)  especially if legs are being dismembered ( crawling animations + bleeding effect )

 

 

I also have 2 features in mind :

 

Feature 1 : Being able to force a surrender for the player at any wanted levels, depending of the situation. I know for a matter of fact that the player do can surrender if the wanted level is low. (hands up animation, you can enter into a dead eye mode during this event)

 

Here's a video that shows the process 

 

 

features 2 if it's possible to implement without openIV

 

Is it possible to extend the duration of decayed npc's/animals within an area ( and or expand the area where that event is occuring ) ? 

 

I've checked and npc do enter into decaying process (Following multiple stages of decomposition layer and eventually turn into skeletons/piles of bones) after a few days but this is so rare that it doesn't happen all the time

 

PS : i'm not sure 100% if it has an effect but npc's decaying under water seems to decompose way faster than on lands.

 

I'll also leave a YT link in here in case people didn't know 

Thank you for reading me ! And excellent mod ! As always. I keep coming back and forth to this mod page and i see new stuff being added/fixed. Glad to see that ! Keep on keeping on 🙂

@Maro I have no idea how to add animations or make NPCs survive dismemberment with only a script. As for the decomposing, I would love to see that, but also have not found any natives yet that would support such a change.

What about being able to surrender at any wanted level ? Of course just once during a gunfight to spice things up

I see that you've added a friendly fire option in the ini. Very excited for when that starts working 🙂 Thanks so much!

surviving dismemberment was done in a fallout 4 mod before, but then again completely different engine.
