Rhons' NPC Variant Expansion v2.31 [CotZ 1.2] addon

Oh snap, I’ll update the files then.

EDIT: Done

Latest update has attempted to fix this. Let me know if it persists.

Awesome man. Thanks for double-checking!

I was wondering if my settings were a bit too much or not. Actually, not only are the squads larger, but I made Stalkers respawn every day instead of two days and mutants every 12 hours instead of once every day.

Since you’ve raised that concern, I can make a patch with optional increased spawning or not.

EDIT: Looks like I have only altered my own game's spawning rates. If you're experiencing lag, I'm suggesting 0.5 Stalkers and 1.0 or 1.5 for Mutants, as Mutants are easier to dispatch than Stalkers who carry items and thus more memory. I'll still add spawning frequency options.

I don’t think that it is this mod as my .ogf files don’t use models\capture\stalker_sunrise_1, but I’ll check it out.

That error does mean that when spawning a Stalker, it couldn’t locate where it would fetch its damage resistance values from and thus crashed.

EDIT: I've browsed through my meshes and found that there are two invalid Stalkers, Ecologist Guard w/ Mask and Ecologist Guard Merc. The one that gave you an error was the Guard w/ Mask. I will update the Mod shortly, thank you for sharing the crash log, Themesmith!

Try again in five minutes after this reply to your comment is made. If you still can't download the file, try contacting ModDB support. Of course I'm always updating this Mod often, just a head's up.

EDIT: ModDB might be having a hiccup right now as my preview image isn't loading despite being uploaded. Maybe that could be preventing you from downloading the Mod.

Once you are able to download the newer update, the revised files should have no need for that additional file plus new content, so I encourage you download the latest batch!

At this moment of this reply, download should be functional again. Who knows for how long though...

I could do that. What exactly would you want separated, might I ask? Most of the changes were done to help cycle through more spawning and deaths so you would have a chance to see all of the newer Stalkers faster.

That's a simple change I can do. It'll be a moment.

EDIT: Done

If you have any suggestions, you’re more than welcomed to bring up ideas. I don’t know what to do with the Military and Clear Sky, other than make a portrait or two for alternative color schemes.

Current release is inaccurate to this post as I am learning about protection values at the moment. As of this date, the Gray Monolith Exoskeleton offers high Explosion Protection instead.

EDIT: Bullet protection values have been successfully altered. As of this edit, three Exoskeletons are available and each offer varying degrees of protection, from massive anti-mutant armor to hauler armor to ultimate combat protection.

It works best on a new save. There, all spawns that start from the beginning of the fame are updated with the mod. Unique NPCs will also spawn. Only the Vanilla Armor Expansion will be working with an old save.

Yeah, I will not. The problem is that it is a dynamic location, meaning normal randomized squads will also appear at Hermann’s Bunker, regardless if they are friendly with the Ecologists or not. Therefore, to explain the limitations of the Bunker, I tried to put some plausible reason behind it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Create a model with a soldier using an M12 Helmet? Are there not some already with their own respective portraits?

That's just the vanilla texture in CotZ and in CoC. At some angles, it does actually show color, but such angles are awkward and at different lighting situations. As mentioned already, all variations have their own portraits.

It should be compatible with the current mod repack version.

Normal Zombies still do that whenever a smart terrain it is in gives it a role. Sitting down or standing watch with hands behind back, you never notice it before because they were obviously Zombified.

Armors have been buffed and readjusted accordingly to reflect their canon counterparts in Clear Sky. Prices and weight were also increased, and descriptions were revamped.

I'll double-check conflicts. I've moved unique squads to a new file, so I have to delete preexisting squads to avoid duplicates and edit files to use the new squads.
