Decreases the re-spawn time of most NPCs and mobs by half the default S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly config file (12 in-game hours instead of 24).
HALVED SPAWN TIMES FOR 1.5.1
MORE SHOOTING, LESS WAITING.
Made for people like me who likes that fast paced gameplay feeling without waiting that much for the AI to re-spawn. Compatible with every NPC population option.
This addon can make the zone a little more populated. Rarer and dangerous Stalkers and mutants can be more common, specially in the northern parts of the zone.
Also, I've left all the underground labs untouched, because I think it's not necessary for them to have faster mob spawn
If you don't like the timers I set, you can increase or reduce the respawn timers, just go into the files and edit the line: "respawn_idle = value". Here are some presets:
(in-game)
1day 86400 value (Anomaly default)
4days 345600 value (Dan's Desolation mod)
7days 604800 value
10days 864000 value
14days 1209600 value
(30000 = 1 Real Life hour)
Drop the gamedata folder into the gamedata folder of your S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly to install. Compatible with anything that doesn't replace my files.
I'm guessing it isn't, but I'm going to ask anyway. Is this compatible with living zone?
I haven't tested it, but if that addon replaces the spawn times of mobs and NPCs or modifies any of the scripts about smart terrains then sadly it's not compatible.
I just checked it, looks like it only modifies the spawn times, you just need to replace in each ltx inside of gamedata/configs/scripts the number on the "respawn_idle" line to 43200 (or another number you desire) then save.
very underrated mod!
usually most respawn mods turn the zone into a massive battlefield or barely make a difference.
NOT THIS ONE THO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY
I've updated the add-on to 1.5.1. enjoy!
Also, please rate my mod and leave feedback, that will be much appreciated ^_^
Thank you! I'll try it out this night on my ironman walkthrough.
I guess this doesn't need a new game.
Very late reply, sorry about that :b
I forgot to mention it, it requires a new save, but it should work fine with existing ones, as you have to wait less for mutants and NPCs to respawn (The Zone might be a little more populated though, keep in mind that). Enjoy ;-)
Thank you! I've playing for weeks with your addon and I love my Zone now! Battls in Limansk are epic, new Monoliths and Sins keep on arriving if you stand there too much time. I love this!
I've updated the addon, it should be a little more easier to install with mod managers and made the description more clear (I think)
This is my first mod, hope everyone likes it!
Hey does this need to be updated to work with 1.5.2?
Would you consider making MCM options to change the spawn timers?
10/10 from me :) <3!
Ну что, работает?
I'll be archiving this until further notice, as currently there are better addons that do the same as mine but are highly configurable. Also I currently lack the hardware to test my addon or make MCM options of it (not that I know how to anyway, I acknowledge my ignorance on that).
Thanks for the support.
