M.S.O. Massive Simulation Overhaul

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat mod |

Stand-alone CoP A.I. and a-life (simulation) overhaul revamping and radically improving every aspect of NPC and mutant behaviour in-game. Changes include everything from complete smart terrain revamp (spawns, function, logical repopulation of all quest-related places), thru NPC and mutant daily behaviours to rank-specific combat skills and habits (diversified aiming skills and reaction times). All this done for all locations (so Pripyat also got completely overhauled) and perfectly integrated into the storyline and side-quests meaning that (despite such major changes) everything works fine and doesn't get broken. No other CoP mod ever has touched this subject in such a complete and complex manner - and all this is available to you in stand-alone, 'vanilla-oriented' package making the mod easy to add to your favourite compilation.

Report RSS Detailed A.I. & combat overhaul info

This article covers changes done to A.I. and combat routines. Most of the stuff has been done by Alundaio in his AI Tweaks mod and Plugin Package and Manager (which I have helped to create). Most notable change in this area (beside some obvious, new NPC abilities such as weapon stock melee or medkit usage) is the diversification of NPC combat skills with masters being much better in therms of aiming, perception and reaction times than novices.
