Ped damage overhaul (updated to version 2.0-BETA-7 on February 7)

This mod attempts to make combat and violent interactions more varied, dynamic and interesting. It makes NPCs behave in new ways when hit (such as falling while running with an injured leg, squirming on the ground when injured, lying in a pool of own blood and moaning, etc.).

(Well, in recent times, the classic MODs of these big guys have been lined up for the same update... I think this needs no introduction. The classic among the classics has been on the site for a long time, but the detailed introduction is posted below. If you already know it very well and are interested in trying the new version, just download it directly)

Original author post:

Version 2.0-BETA-7

• Added an ini parameter to enable/disable disarming downed opponents
• Added an ini parameter to disable the "longer bleed" feature in missions
• Fixed a bug where NPCs in cover would suddenly collapse when using euphoria mods
• Fixed a bug where the health of NPCs in carriages could not be set correctly
• Fixed a bug where the health of "Other Story NPCs" could not be set correctly
• Fixed a bug where damage multiplier would not be applied if set above 100%
• Adjusted some values ​​in case ini is not found (seems to be common due to not following installation instructions^^)

Overview

This mod attempts to make gunplay more varied, dynamic, and fun, and keep it that way throughout the game.

You will find that when an NPC has a leg injury and wants to run away, it will stumble, when a body part is injured, it will cover the wound, when it is seriously injured, it will squirm on the ground, when it is fatally injured, it will lie in a pool of its own blood and moan... until it reaches the end.

Important keys (for switching)

These are the standard keys, they can be modified via ini files (as is everything else this mod adds to the game):

F9 - Turn mod on/off (mod is enabled by default).

F8 - Turns "Kill Wounded Mode" on/off (disabled by default). This mod adds a feature called "Dying State" which causes NPCs to fall down when injured and remain alive for a period of time (until they bleed out). If "Kill Wounded Mode" is activated, NPCs will die instead of entering a "dying state".

F7 - Turns "Longer Bleed Mode" on/off (disabled by default). By default, this mod causes NPCs in a "dying state" to bleed to death for up to 25 seconds (this is only triggered when dealing with the first wave of enemies in order not to interfere with subsequent spawns of enemies during the mission). If "Longer Bleed Mode" is activated, NPCs will take longer to bleed (this will be more realistic, but can also be a hindrance in some missions so turn it on with caution).

F2 - Turns Friendly Fire on/off (disabled by default). "Friendly Fire" currently only works on the Van der Linde gang.

feature

Here's a quick overview of the most important features:

Firstly, almost all traits are probability-based, so they won't behave the same every time you encounter them - this should ensure more varied combat and make things more interesting than the original... at least that's the idea

Almost every feature can be enabled, disabled, or tweaked in the ini (more info further down the page), so this isn't just a mod, but one that enables you to create your own experience.

This mod only changes the behavior and attributes of human NPCs - animals or anything else will not be affected.

Light version:

NPCs will react to where they are shot (shots in the legs will make them stumble when trying to escape, shots in the hands will disarm them, shots in the torso will stagger them, etc.).

When an NPC's health drops below a certain threshold, they fall down and will not get back up. They then go through different stages of death, each with its own random behavior. Eventually the NPC will die from blood loss.

NPCs will sometimes (based on randomness) audibly react in desperate situations (panic, beg, curse, etc.).

There is a bleed feature, which causes NPCs to lose life after taking fatal damage. It's run on a …
