This mod adds the ability to go prone as featured in Misery. Now updated for 1.5 beta.
I unpacked the actor.ltx file from "..\patch\xpatch_01_config.db" and edited the following values:
ph_box1_center = 0.0, 0.65, 0.0
ph_box1_size = 0.35, 0.65, 0.35
ph_box2_center = 0.0, 0.2, 0.0
ph_box2_size = 0.35, 0.2, 0.35
If you'd like to return to the default crouch & low crouch values, simply delete the actor.ltx file from this mod or edit them to your liking
Update 11/14 - If actor.ltx is updated, prone will not work. Simply edit the actor.ltx file or unpack it with the Toolkit and edit the ph_box values mentioned above.
What weapon mod are you using?
I use AO 3.4.4: Moddb.com
Great job! Needed this.
Is there any way to togglelowcrouch like you can with highcrouch? It's a lot of buttons to press.
I'm unsure if there is built-in code to toggle each crouch level individually, but if you wanted to make prone toggle and low-crouch non-toggle, you could replace the 0.65 and 0.2 values mentioned above. Not the best solution, of course :\
Could just swap the keys for them after doing that
Cool initiative. To me, it would be heaven to get the Arma crouching animations in Stalker.
I'd give my diet sausage for the Arma animations
does it work with STCoP?
I haven't personally tested it with STCoP, but if it causes a crash, it'd be as simple as deleting the actor.ltx file. CoC will revert to using the actor.ltx packed in the .db file in the absence of a modified one.
No problem with STCoP, i'm using it. STCoP has no specific "actor.ltx", it's using the vanilla one.
Thanks for the confirmation! :)
I haven't played Misery.
What's the benefit of going prone?
You're able to fit into much smaller spaces than previously, so you can get under desks and other objects to shoot from.
Thanks also for mentioning the numbers you changed in the file. I have other mods using the same file so we can just copy/paste your numbers into the other modded file =D
Also VERY useful for taking cover.
No problem at all! Glad this stuff is being put to use :)
The game feels much more immersive because of something so simple.
Here's for anyone who wants to bind the crouch + low crouch buttons to one key. Download AutoHotkey at Autohotkey.com and open Notepad. Paste this and change it if you like.
___________
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#IfWinActive, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
*Z::SendInput, % "{C}{LAlt " ((X := !X) ? "Down" : "Up") "}"
___________
The Z on the bottom line is the button you press to go prone. {C}{LAlt} means the buttons you need to press normally. For me, C is crouch, and left ALT is walk/low crouch.
Save the file with an .ahk extension and open it with AutoHotkey, see if it works ingame. The normal Z key won't work when ingame unless AutoHotkey is turned off.
By the way, good mod. It's fun to fit into small spaces.
Hi! how did you get this to work? I've tried messing around with the script here but pressing Z doesn't do anything
btw sorry if I'm necroposting
Can you tell me what lines you edited to get this to work in the Actor.ltx file. I wanted to manually change them so I dont run into any compatibility issues with my mods. Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind I just checked the discription
works with call of misery?
You say change the .65 and .02, but not what you change them to. A higher value or a lower value? I need to crouch lower in a mod. Thanks for the info.
Does it actualy let you prone or is it just like in screen it looks like prone but actualy its just crouch?
It's weird. Your character model still does a low crouch, but your actual head position is the same as being prone. You aren't actually proning - imagine the character's head on the ground while the rest of the body remains the same as if you crouch.
:-D hahaha
works with 1.4.22 CoC?
I just wish Prone was its own toggle option on top of crouch and low crouch. It would make a ton of more sense and I could map it to Z. Some cover can only be used with crouch or low crouch.
I love it
Does this actually reduce your hitbox while prone or only your head goes prone while your body is still crouching?
neck reckt
