Respawns Mutants and Stalkers every six hours for a more fast paced experience.
If your like me then you like constant action. While some people like an empty zone I personally prefer lots of things going on and I like a zone filled with activity. This mod will respawn all A-Life every six hours which matches up well with Anomaly's timescale. This way it keeps the activity flowing without everything ending up dead by the end of the game day. This enables you to play the game in shorter bursts and have allot of fun rather than waiting around for hours for something to do. Hope you enjoy this little edit and happy hunting.
Bonus point if theres a spawn of high tier mutants and zombies after each blowout, in a possible update.

lol
That's not within my capability unfortunately.
Maybe we can add Torment XIII difficulty like in Diablo 3
Nice idea but not best realization. Why are there so many files in archive? I don't think that you should have all those files to get a 6 hours respawn rate work.
I agree you only need the smart .ltx files, no need for the rest of them
True, it was just for the sake of time. This was a quick edit that anyone could have made.
What's the default spawn reset timer in Vanilla Anamoly?
24 hours for some spawns. Even longer for other spawns. I made it so every squad and mutant respawns every 6 hours.
Ok cool, and I assume it's possible to change the values in your mod in the configs? I'd probably up mine a little bit to maybe every 18 hours.
Definitley. I did it by halving the 24 hour value and halving it again. You can use notepad plus to edit all the values at once as well within that folder. Much better than doing it file by file because there are about hundred or more I think.
So what are the respawn times set to in other mods like dead air and last day? It did feel rather empty when i switched from last day to anomaly.
I dont know about those two mods unfortunatley.
Can you tell me how to set my own respawn rates? What values did you change in which files?
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out by myself. I want to to it myself for Dead Air (10h respawn rate), but there are hundreds of files to edit :/
Sorry for late reply. I didn't see your comment. You can use Notepad +. Download it then open the smart folder within config/scripts and then edit the LTX file. Highlight respawn_idle = 84600 (or whatever the value is) and then go onto search and click on find. Then click on find all and enter the value you would like to replace the original code with. Then select the directory where you want to replace all lines with that code. Then it should do it all at once. Took me about 10 minutes (I went through the scripts to check the values as well) that's pretty much what my mod is.
As for the value itself the respawn time is in seconds. So 21,600 seconds is 6 hours (my value) for 1 hour it's 3,600 seconds. Apologies if you already knew all that however I hope it's helpful.
No problem, thank you a lot for responding. And it sure did help me :)
You are very welcome.
This work with 1.5?
No I don't believe so. I haven't updated it yet. The scripts are probably different.
I have been using it with 1.5. It seems to work and am not crashing in the southern parts of the zone.
Apologies for the incorrect information in the reply above. It will work however it won't include anything that was changed with the Beta updates which I'm assuming had things added to it (don't know for sure because I didn't check). I've updated the mod now anyway for BETA 2.4 so it's at least current. You can just delete the old scripts and replace it with the new set.
Does this require a new game?
Nope. I tested it on a current save and it worked throughout the duration of my entire playthrough. The only thing that's modified is the respawn time. I can't see it affecting anything really and it hasn't in my case.
you sure this works without a new game? i installed it and i'm not noticing any difference in spawns.
It doesn't add spawns just respawns all dead enemies every 6 hours.
@OmegaA101
Did you only modify the smarts?
Yup that's correct. I was too lazy to remove the other bits. Uploading a new file now though that's up to date and without the unnecessary files.
blargh... right before i wanted to give you my edit... well well... thanks anyway! :)
how do you change the spawn rates i want like every 10 hours so its not pure gun fire and medkit hell while still haveing to be on guard and get loot better and faster
