*NEW GAME MAY BE REQUIRED!!! Though you can try your luck and continue playing...
Re-enables the use of flashlights on non-playable characters (and maybe zombies....) for the A.R.M. addon (which disabled all flashlights for "a bigger challenge" -chevyfreak).
Report in comments if you have a crash or problem. Send me the log too.
Updated for 9/18 (LATEST) version of ARM!!!
Installation:
Same installation as always. Copy and paste the "gamedata" folder into your SHOC folder.
THIS IS ONLY IF YOU WANT FLASHLIGHTS BACK IN THE A.R.M. MOD!!! (INSTALL IT AFTER THE A.R.M. MOD OF COURSE)!!!
*Thank you DKZ for the assistance as I got tired of being killed in the dark.
If you wanna edit how often NPCs spawn with musical instruments or flashlights, install this addon and go to:
gamedate -> config -> gameplay -> character_items.xml ...
You will see this:
harmonica_a = 1, prob= 0.1 \n
guitar_a = 1, prob= 0.2 \n
device_torch = 1, prob= 1.0 \n
balalaika_a = 1, prob= 0.01 \n
ONLY change the numbers... so for example- "device_torch = 1, prob= 1.0 \n" means a 100% (1.0) of a flashlight spawning for every NPC. You can edit the 1.0 to any number between 0.0 to 1.0 for the rest.
ENJOY!!!
One more thing. "NPCs will equip flashlights at night between 10PM and 6AM"
So at 22:00 to 06:00.
Nice one thanks.
This is now outdated for the next patch of ARM! It'll take me a while to re-enable flashlights (very very mundane work) for every NPC.
Now updated for the latest version of ARM!!! (Sept. 18 patch and before)
