No Blackouts - Input Blocks addon

Sick and tired of losing all sight, ability to move, and to hear, while patching yourself up in a dangerous firefight, or while on the run from mutants? Good! This mod gets rid of all blackouts, almost all input blocks (You still have to stand still while cooking), and all instances where you lose the ability to hear as well, but animations are kept. Exceptions are where they are reasonable.

How does this mod work, and how can I tweak it?

This mod comes with a file called "actor_effects_data.script". This file contains several things, but what the main focus of this mod is focuses on a section called "Item Usage Effects". Underneath this section of the file are blocks of code that contain a list of animations that play when called, and a title for the whole sequence for the game to refer to it as. Annotated example below:

(Open the image alone in another tab to see it zoomed in)

The three main effects that have been removed are

• ""xr_effects.disable_ui_lite_with_imput(db.actor, nil)", (Took away actor inputs, mainly movement)
• "level.add_pp_effector('surge_fade.ppe', 8023, false)", (Made the actor's screen black out temporarily)
  
  (The following are two lines of code that made the game lose all sound)
• "_G.mus_vol = math.max(get_console():get_float('snd_volume_music'),_G.mus_vol or 0) _G.amb_vol = math.max(get_console():get_float('snd_volume_eff'),_G.amb_vol or 0) get_console():execute('snd_volume_music 0') get_console():execute('snd_volume_eff 0')",
• "get_console():execute('snd_volume_music '..tostring(_G.mus_vol)) get_console():execute('snd_volume_eff '..tostring(_G.amb_vol))",

To allow for tweaking, and also because it might've broken something, I didn't delete those lines. Instead, I put a "--" before each of them so that the game ignores and doesn't play them. This makes it easy to tweak, because if you want certain effects back for a certain animation (If you still want to not move, not see, not hear, or any combination of the three), just remove the little "--" before them.

!!WARNING!!
Some effects have a "--" added to them already in the vanilla file, and this mod has not effected them. You can remove the vanilla ones if you like, but, you'll be responsible for whatever happens. The "--" comments added by this mod are always all the way to the left, while the "--" comments that are part of the game are always right next to the code.

I don't want to be able move while using the Medkits, but I still want to see and hear.

To remove the standing still effect, but to keep the ability to see and hear:

1. Open the only file in the mod in a text editor of choice (Suggests Notepad++)
2. Go to line 1021, or if you can't search by line, look for: " survival_kit = {" without quotation marks.
3. Underneath it, in line 1024, find:
   

   --  [1] = "xr_effects.disable_ui_lite_with_imput(db.actor, nil)",

   
   

   This line of code disables the ability to move, but in this mod, I put a "--" to stop it from triggering.

4. Delete the "--" in all places where that line appears, up to where it appears underneath "medkit_scientic = {", which is the last medkit in that file.

To re-enable the trigger that made you deaf, do the above steps but to the lines:

--  [3502] = "_G.mus_vol = math.max(get_console():get_float('snd_volume_music'),_G.mus_vol or 0) _G.amb_vol = math.max(get_console():get_float('snd_volume_eff'),_G.amb_vol or 0) get_console():execute('snd_volume_music 0') get_console():execute('snd_volume_eff 0')",

--  [10300] = "get_console():execute('snd_volume_music '..tostring(_G.mus_vol)) get_console():execute('snd_volume_eff '..tostring(_G.amb_vol))",

And to re-enable the trigger that made you blind while using a medkit, do the the same, but to the line:

--  [2] = "level.add_pp_effector('slow_fade.ppe', 8023, false)",

Affecting one doesn't effect the other, so feel free to change it depending on what you want. If you find those lines (Sometimes with a different number in the [] brackets) on another animation that you want to re-enable, you can go ahead and change those too.
