Update of the information

[Gunter Severloh 47]

Version 1.4 released as of:  Update posted on June 13th

Here is the changelog:

v1.4

Adjusted - Relationship between player and bandits at hideouts to wanted as before they were set to hate,
                  this should at least give some interaction back from the bandits instead of immediately attacking the player.

Adjusted - Size, width & height of the Blip icon on the bottom lower of the screen.
Changed - The blip icon that shows on the map to another type of icon.

Added - A new setting in the Bandit Hideouts.ini that will allow you to enable/disable the blip icon from your
              screen and map when you approach a hideout or ambush location, the blip icon is on by default.

Added - New Feature:  Persistent Blip icon
              The Persistent blip icon will show on every hideout location on the map whether your near a hideout or not,
              if you clear a hideout the blip icon will be removed until the spawn time for that hideout has returned.
              The persistent blip icon have their own icon type vs the one on screen.

Added - New setting in the Bandit Hideouts.ini that will allow you to enable/disable
               the Persistent Blip icon for every hideout on the map.

Added - New Feature:  You cleared the hideout Message
              Now when you clear a hideout a message will show on the screen briefly that you have cleared a hideout,
              their will still be at least 2 bandits left alive when this happens.

Added - New Feature:  Hired Gunmen Voice Lines
               Now when you tell your hired gunmen to stay or follow, Arthur or John will actually say out loud those commands,
               and when your crouched and you tell your gunmen to stay Arthur or John will say it in a quiet voice.
              This feature can also be enabled and disabled in the ini, and is enabled by default.

Added - New hideout in Tall Trees:  Aurora Basin
Added - 3 new ambush locations in Tall Trees
Increased - The distance of hired gunmen on horses from the player.
Updated - Misc wording of the ini.

==============

crossed and i spent another 9hrs on this update, fixed some things and added some new features,

including new ambush locations and a hideout.

I wanted to do more ambush locations and hideouts but ran into an issue with the code which took a day

to get sorted but we got it. More updates to come!

 

 

[Gunter Severloh 47]

Update, here is the changelog.

The mod gets updated every monday!

               (Wasn't working in v1.5 but is Now fixed and will be added in the v1.6 update)

Added - New ini setting to enable/disable the "You cleared the hideout" Message after clearing a hideout.

Added - Two new ini settings for:  
            - Bandit Reinforcements on Horseback
            - Bandit Reinforcements on foot
They will do the following:
Reinforcements on foot or horseback depend on your HIDEOUT_BANDITS_MIN and HIDEOUT_BANDITS_MAX settings,
 it'll be a random number between your set values.
     If the HIDEOUT_BANDITS_MIN and HIDEOUT_BANDITS_MAX settings are too high and not every bandit can spawn into the
 hideout initially as there are a set number of positions then they'll spawn in as reinforcements.
      For example if a hideout's max is set for max=50 then by a hideouts default max 21 setting the remaining
29 bandits will come as reinforcements on horseback (default max 6) and bandits on foot.

Updated - The Bandit Hideouts.ini with new settings as listed above as well as rewording of the settings descriptions.

[Gunter Severloh 47]

 v1.10 - August 28th, 2023
Changelog:

• Removed the hanging corpse/rope at the Flattened Cabin Hideout.
• Removed the shot glass at Millesani Claim mine Hideout.
• Increased the area center/radius by 100m for Millesani Claim mine Hideout.

• Added new hideout: CaneBreak Manor (located in Bluewater Marsh).
• Added new hideout: Bolger Glade (located SE of Rhodes).

Notes on the Lakay hideout

The hideout had an issue with spawning bandits, possibly conflicting with the vanilla mission/hideout
 that is there. Bandits would spawn in normally when you got in max range of the hideout,
but then once you got to the min range about where the stakes are
with the skulls on the path the hideout would despawn.
I had rebuilt the hideout twice,tested it numerous times with default min/max bandit numbers
and it gave me the same result.
     The hideout crashed my game twice when i reached the despawn point for the hideout.
So just letting you guys know that hideout may or may not work, it may crash your game and or
do exactly as happened to me, im not sure how to fix it and dont understand what the issue is.

File Notes:
You only need both the .ASI and .DAT file for this update.

Important NOTES:
Want to let you guys know that the hired guns is broke somehow in the update, what's actually "broke" is
the menu to hire a gunmen at the bartender is blank, you can still hire a gunmen if you can figure out the functions, also
when you hire you wont be able to command them, the menu for that dont come up.
   Crossed and i are looking into this issue and have already fixed a part of it before the v1.12 update here as before
the menu didn't come up at all.
NEW HIDEOUTS MAP!
Lastly i saved the best for last, we have a new hideouts map which you can see on the description tab, i have a
link there where you can download the map, its 60.3mb!   
    This map was created by a friend known as Cockerball and Moth-man thanks to their creative Photoshop skills they have all the hideouts
and ambush locations on the map, sorted by color, number, and by what gangs are at those hideouts.
==============
Ps. For the v1.12 update all you need is the .ASI and the .DAT files, new players need all files.

Important Note: Bandit Hideouts.ini has been updated!
The Bandit Hideouts.ini has some new code in it, my suggestion is to copy the code from the ini in the update,
to your existing ini file this way you dont lose any of your settings, or replace your ini with the new one your choice.

1. Open the new ini in the v1.15 zip you should see this code -----> See Picture of new code
2. Copy the code you see in the pic from the new v1.15 ini and paste it into your existing ini under where it says:
// On-Screen Blip Icon //
SHOW_HIDEOUT_ICON=1   
============================
Currently only those hideouts listed in the v1.15 ini are for all the story & missions in the game, so if you are going to do
a story mission then disable the hideout that might be at that story location.
Each update i will be adding more hideouts to the list, any questions please ask in the comments. Cheers!

Edited April 28 by Gunter Severloh

[Gunter Severloh 47]

Update - v1.16
Changelog:

• Updated the Bandit_Hideouts.ini with all individual hideouts able to be disabled.
• Added new ini setting for zombie health.
• Added campfire, lantern and a couple of bandits around the campfire at Bacchus station.
• Rebuilt Barrow Lagoon Hideout.
• Adjusted bandits at hideouts - they will no longer attack you on sight, but will attack you if you get to close, or attack them.
• Fixed (needs more testing) bandit blips showing on radar after all bandits were dead.
• Fixed (needs more testing) hiring a gunmen would multiply.
• Added new hideout: Witches Cauldron

Notes: Bandit Hideouts.ini
The Bandit Hideouts.ini has been updated please review the new version and copy the new settings to your
existing ini, or get a new copy, see the changelog above for details as to what was added.

Notes: Radar Blips
I need some feedback on the radar blips, basically clear a hideout, kill all the bandits and see if there are any
blips on the radar left when all bandits are dead, please let me know in the comments.

Notes: Bandit Hideout Behavior
After extensive testing i was finally able to get the bandits to not attack the player on sight when the player
enters a hideout, now the only way the bandits will attack you is if you get to close to the bandits, or attack them.
Right now still looking into adding a timer, so this is still WIP (work in progress).

===============

Known Issues:
The following are reported issues for v1.16 i currently know about and am looking into:
- Bandits at ambush locations dont attack the player anymore they just spawn and stand there.
- Player can sometimes lose honor when looting dead bandits at hideouts (i think this is for the generic gang only idk).

Edited January 3 by Gunter Severloh
Added some more info

[Gunter Severloh 47]

Update - v1.17 
- Fixed - Looting dead generic gang members (strangers) shouldn't make you lose honor unless they attack you first.
- Fixed - Blip icon for dead bandits on radar shouldn't be showing anymore (in all my tests they weren't).
- Fixed - Hideout spawn chance.
- Fixed - Bandit Ambushes, bandits will attack the player again at ambush locations.
- Fixed - Props at North Twin Stack Pass Hideout.
- Added - 3 new ambush locations.
- Added - 1 new Hideout: Clawson's Rest.
- Added - ENABLE_DOVER_HILL=1 to the disable individual hideouts story list in the ini as it wasn't added in v1.15

- Added - New setting in Bandit Hideouts.ini BANDITS_ATTACK_ON_SIGHT=1
          This gives the player the option to have bandits at hideouts attack on sight or not attack on sight.

- Adjusted - Set the number of Hideout bandits left when a hideout was cleared to 0, the hideout cleared message would show
             if enabled and before you would get the hideout cleared message but there was still 4 bandits left.

- Updated - Bandit Hideouts.ini, rearranged the bandits settings so their together and updated many descriptions.
===================
Update Notes - important! - Bandit Hideouts.ini
The ini file has been updated, as noted in the changelog above its been overhauled, some things rearranged,
and descriptions adjusted, plus some new settings, replace your ini with it.

Update Notes 2 - Hideout Bandits Attack on Sight ini setting
You now have the option to enable/disable bandits at hideouts from attacking on sight,
the following is whats going to happen if you disable the bandits from attacking on sight:

1. Hideout bandits wont attack on sight when the setting is set to:  BANDITS_ATTACK_ON_SIGHT=0

2. Hideout bandits wont respond if you shoot them from afar, it depends, you can walk into a hideout, the
bandits might even greet you, if you stand close to them, or get in their face, they may say something, if
you remain they will get aggravated and might raise their gun and warn you, if you back off when they do this,
thats them warning you, however if you stay they then will attack you.

3. Hideout Reinforcements work the same way (nothing i coded, or did, its just a bug i cant figure out), so reinforcements
if enabled (through chance) will spawn normally, however they wont attack until the hideout itself is attacking you.
   So just letting you know if you come across reinforcements, standing there, they wont attack unless you provoke them
or get the bandits at the hideout attacking you.   I'm still trying to sort this out.
============
I spent alot of time trying to figure out how to do this, it still needs some adjustments so be patient, any questions please ask.

Update Notes 3
Files
All you need from this update if you have any previous version of the mod is the:  .ASI and the Bandit Hideouts.ini
 

[Gunter Severloh 47]

Update - v1.18
Changelog
- Added - New Feature, ini setting where you can disable Individual Ambush Locations - refer to the map for locations you can disable.
- Removed/Reverted - Bandits at hideouts attack on sight setting and code as there were to many issues with it.
- Fixed - Bandit Posse attacking player while at player gang camp (need feedback from you guys on this).

Update notes:
Replace your .asi .dat and the Bandit Hideouts.ini files.
New feature setting added to the ini where now you can enable/disable individual ambush locations.

Update notes 2
The bandits at hideouts should and will attack you on sight now, ambush location bandits will do the same as they should,
zombies should also be attacking you on sight, granted they see you, hideout bandit reinforcements should respond normally, and
attack you when the bandits at the hideouts do, so no more standing there as they did before.
    Random roaming bandits should also be attacking you on sight if you have the setting attack on sight set in the ini,
i had no issues with any of these in my tests.
      The not attack on sight feature in v1.17 was mainly a test, it was a WIP code and it had some issues, even crossed said
messing with the combat behavior of the bandits effects all the bandits, the feature would need to be setup differently,
maybe in the near future as i work on the code and get things working i will add it to an update again.

v1.18 is a small update but it should address some issues reported other then the blip problem with the bandits behavior.
v1.19 will be the next update, i got something else im working on and if it works then i think you guys will be pretty happy
all for today, have fun, and any questions ask in the comments. Cheers!

and there was a couple additions, updates to the disable hideouts list, and 8 new additions to the disable ambushes list.
Update Notes 3 - Known issue/bug
Just so you guys know, there is an issue currently, when you set this setting in the ini:
// Persistent Blip Icon //
ALWAYS_SHOW_HIDEOUT_BLIP=1
and clear a hideout, the map icon for that hideout will not remove, we are trying to determine why not and fix it.
If you have that setting disabled the hideout icon will remove, also note that its on the bugs tab.

==========================
UPDATE NOTES
- The Bandit Hideouts.ini has once again been updated, this time overhauled, more especially the
disable individual hideouts has been rebuilt, it is now formatted and listed just like the downloadable map.

UPDATE NOTES 2
There is an addition of 2 gangs they are:
- Ike Skelding's Boys (Bounty Hunters)
- Pinkertons National Detective Agency
Im giving you guys a warning here, if you use either one of these 2 gangs for a hideout in the disable individual hideout
list, when you fight either one, you may or will get either a bounty, or wanted, or both. You dont have to use them
but if you dont mind then the option to use them is there. They are fun to fight btw 😉

UPDATE NOTES 3
A new function has been added which is:
"disable a hideout a blip of a locked house"
So when you disable a hideout, a map blip icon of a house with a lock on it will show in place of the disabled hideout on the map,
this was just one option we implemented and are still working on adding another function where the map blip wont show
when the hideout is disabled, i hope to have an ini setting for that. WIP

UPDATE NOTES 4
This function:
Disabled hideout radius function
is a code that was disabled in the scripts, what the radius of a hideout does is when the player crosses that invisible
line, the bandits will automatically attack as your basically entering their hideout.
Now with the radius disabled, the bandits will not automatically attack you, they will only attack you if they see or hear you.
