About this mod Machine translation

Module introduction

Road to Vostok is an open world game. "Simple Engagement" by Kiddgimmick, version 1.2. Simple Engagement softens enemy spotting: reduced pre-alert vision, one bark, brief faction-scaled delay, then vanilla combat.

Features

  • Simple Engagement makes enemy visual detection less instant before the player is spotted. Enemies have reduced pre-spot vision based on the player’s movement state, then once they visually confirm the player, they bark once, wait a short faction-scaled reaction delay, and return to vanilla combat behavior.
  • [*]Requires Metro Mod Loader version 3.1.1.[/*]
  • [*]Requires Mod Configuration Menu.[/*]
  • This mod affects regular human enemy visual engagement behavior. It does not change ballistics, damage, weapons, movement, inventory, food/water, traders, maps, or save behavior.
  • [*]Scales enemy pre-spot vision distance based on the player’s movement state.[/*]
  • [*]Makes sprinting easiest to visually detect and crouching idle hardest to visually detect.[/*]

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
