clarification on "as much as possible"?
Well for example in the old loadout system there are five levels (novice, experienced tier1, experienced tier2, veteran, master) with the new loadout there are four levels so I had to merge both experienced tiers and as a result you will find some medium level npc's with pretty good gear with optics and all that from the tier2.
The old loadout also had a second loadout for handguns so every npc will carry their main and secondary but that was way too generous (more than what already is) that area needs some balance like removing optics from zombies, for example you can clear a group of zombies and walk out with a few optics this also happens with factions with high end gear like mercs and monolith.
what a refined answer. I was expecting "ya so it's kinda broken" but those are some very nitpicky issues. Thanks for the hard work.
lol the short version pretty much I just moved some texts over but all the rest is Darryl and Enigma's good work.
Any idea where I can find an H8k 416, 417 or a Scar-H. I'm a Duty player, so Freedom and Merc traders probably won't interact with me. Plus the debug menu doesn't let me spawn AO stuff either and The generic traders (Sidorovich and barman etc) don't really sell much in the way of guns, particularly NATO stuff. So I don't really have anyone who I can get those three weapons from. The best AO weapon I've seen anyone drop is the M4A1, which is pretty abundant in the zone compared to the other three guns I'm searching for.
Probably off Monolith / Freedom Soldiers dead bodies. That's how I got mine, and I'm a die hard Duty fan.
You can 'add' these lines:
(into /gamedata/configs/items/trade/ ...sidorovich.ltx file)
wpn_hk416 = 1, 0.33
wpn_hk417 = 1, 0.33
wpn_g3a3 = 1, 0.33
wpn_scar-h = 1, 0.33
just go to freedom base, and kill them all - easy.
probability,for that one of them carrying hk416 is really high.
can you make one compatible with coc 1.5 R7 (unoffical) ?
This is addon for latest version I mean 1.5 and ther is all weapons like it was from Arsenal Overhaul 3.1 (v.5)???
Yes, 1.5 R6 Full there was an R4 version but I don't know if it works with that.
oh ty man for fast answer and I will test this addon eny minute.Hope ther will by no crash for game.
Will this need a new game?
Yes.
Hoping this will work for the soon(?) to be released version7(if thats the name)
Or just have to wait and find out?
Hey IJoyner, fantastic you made it r6 compatible! A bummer though a new game has to be started haha.
Regarding the new loadout system in r6.
What kept you from making a 5th npc loadout config and adding that into the chararcter_desc to give a high tier loadout to some squads.
Sorry for the late reply, just using the new loadout system each faction has a base loadout and four tiers each stored in independent files I'm not sure if its hardcoded to read each one or if it could be expanded to fit all existing files.
The iron sights are zoomed in veryyyyyy close...... i think the iron sights are broken
The issue with the zoomed out ironsights is because now there are three fov's: The regular camera (fov), character hands (hud_fov) and telescopic sights (scope_fov).
Open up the console and try setting "hud_fov" to 0.35 that should give you a closer aim you can play with "scope_fov" values for scopes too.
These are the settings I have and it looks fine:
fov: 90
hud_fov: 0.35
scope_fov: 75
Do you think this works with Warfare for R6?
Since release I'm playing with OWR, since STCoP was boring, I'm gonna try AO now
My game with COC, AO, Warfare, Balance Overhaul is crashing after about 5 mins of gaming with a CTD no error.
It's balance overhaul, made it crash constantly for me.
Even w/o Balance Overhaul it still crashes, same issue here :/
iron sights are broken
Is this from the zoomed out iron sights? try setting "hud_fov" to 0.35 in the console.
I am having a problem where I cannot obtain a detector. I looked into the config files and merchants are guaranteed to have them in stock but they are not showing up.
Ecologists always have the basic ones for sale and when you reach a goodwill of 1500 they will start selling svarog and veles detectors also ecologists in Jupiter can gift you a veles if you help them with their missions.
Clear Sky and Bandit traders will sell veles detectors but only when you reach a goodwill of 1500 with them. The other traders have echo or bear detectors occasionally. Saving and reloading won't help because trader items only change with the passage of time so you can use a sleeping bag for that.
If you feel like editing the trader files just pick your trader file from "gamedata/configs/misc/trade/" and under the "[supplies_generic]" line look for "detector_" if you set the second value to something like 2 or more that item will get a higher chance of showing up on the trade list you can add some of the other detectors with the same format, here I added a 2,2 because sometimes items will get cut.
detector_simple = 2,2
detector_advanced = 2,2
detector_elite = 2,2
detector_scientific = 2,2
Are the traders not supposed to be selling anything except bandages and bread?
Playing as clear sky, went to the bar and both the barman and duty trader sell next to nothing.
make sure to extract it with the latest 7zip there should be lots of items if you have other addons with trader files that might get in the way there's also an update under the description.
This is probably already known, but 6X scope upgrade on sniper rifles does not work properly. Image gets inverted.
Make sure to install update under description.
I did not know that was there. Thanks, I'll try it out!
No idea if it's related to this mod - but traders seem to never have any low-end rifle ammunition (5.56, 5x45, etc) they all just tend to have 7.62 and above, and painfully low amounts of it. Ontop of that, like 1 in 10 enemies drops ammunition. It kind of kills the ability to make use of the weapons and even get in firefights. Again, no idea if it has anything in particular with this (being as I have a couple mods installed) but this is the biggest one I have installed along with Warfare, so I was hoping to see if I could maybe get an answer or a solution.
Current mods I have installed are:
AO3 (this one ofc)
Warfare
Lootmoney
Unload All
Fast Travel
in that order aswell. I only have knowledge of very very basic ltx editting and all of them are very poorly formatted for me atm, so it's extremely confusing to try and do any editting on the loot part, especially when I don't know how any of that works.
Any idea why this is a thing?
tl;dr
Bodies drop with mostly nothing, if not 5-10 rounds here and there.
Traders barely ever have any ammo for the more common rifles, only high end rifle ammunition.
Most guns I find barely ever have ammunition, and when they do it's about 3-17 rounds max.
You are correct I forgot to append AO's specific ammo types to the items drop list, there's a new update in the description, thanks!. Ammo drop values are random and low just like in vanilla somewhere between the range 0-30 you can edit this in the ammo section of death_generic.ltx.
I think traders purposefully reduce the chance of some items related to your current equipment from appearing same thing with fetch missions but once you increase your rank or become a faction friend this eases out but even then with a couple of visits to traders you can get about 200 rounds easy (if you have the money.)
You can always force items permanent supply by editing trader files in "gamedata/configs/misc/trade" then open the trader file you want and edit all of the "ammo_" lines. The two values mean "Quantity, Chance Percentage" a value of 1 in chance percentage means the chance he will actually have it in stock is 100%.
Not sure about the text formatting but in Notepad++ looks fine.
Hey, seen it mentioned elsewhere in these comments that there used to be pistols included in loadouts.
Do you know if it's possible to add them back in? I kinda like my enemies' inventories cluttered up ;)
Thanks for your work, too. More guns is good!
Updated, they are now included in the update, some npc's should have full kits and others a mix depending on their rank.
Thanks so much for this! Works like a charm.
I don't know what happened in this iteration, but basically everything but shotguns feel like they got nerfed into the ground to the point where a sniper rifle takes four hits to kill a pseudodog. What gives guys?
There was a rebalance in R6 and some mutants end up with a high resistance to bullets I think this issue has been updated in the bitbucket repository.
If you want to tweak that to your liking you can extract the files from "gamedata/configs/creatures/" the mutant files are the ones starting with "m_" in each one search the variable "fire_wound_immunity" it has a value assigned to it 0 means they don't receive damage from bullets a value of 1 means they get full damage, 0.5 is half and 2 is double and so on there are a few of them on each file for every difficulty rank of the mutant.
Thanks for the tip. I don't know about you but it's pretty damned jarring when a sniper rifle can't kill a ******* dog.
Trouble is, I can't seem to find that particular directory (the creatures one specifically). Do I need some special debugging tool to extract the files?
You can download the zip file from the "main" branch from here:
Bitbucket.org
after extracting it copy only the files you want to edit to your CoC gamedata directory while maintaining the original path you found them in.
Oh, and something else I just remembered, though I don't know if this is AO or the base game causing it (since AO is the only mod I have running on CoC right now).
For some reason, almost no NPCs have anything on them besides their guns and a faction patch. Very rarely will there even be ammo in their guns when killed or a single-digit amount of ammunition in their inventory, and other items are even more rare. Honestly, it's a bit immersion breaking, and comes across as a lazy method of changing the economy to force one to buy more provisions from traders (along with effectively making prolonged journeys into the Zone as a Bandit or Monolith member - something I liked doing as a challenge in previous builds - unfeasible). Combined with the aforementioned issue of even weaker mutants being bullet sponges now, this is a pretty big problem.
Some items drop rates were reduced in R6 but still make sure to install AO's update under the description it adds handguns and some extra ammo to npc's drops.
With this update it comes a file located in "gamedata/configs/misc/death_generic.ltx" you can tweak this to increase the number of dropped items there is some randomization but you could start with doubling some of the values and see how that works.
I would like for this file to be there, but it is not. Any suggestions? Yes, I did download and install the update.
That file wasn't there in an early update maybe try redownloading it.
Thanks, I'll try it.
you think you could add the ammunition icons from older versions? for 5.56, 5.45, 9x19 and 9x18 ? i miss them, and i like them more than the default ones
Updated, AO alternative ammo icons.

Hey man, quick question. Did you change anything about tools being found in stashes? Was playing alot with OWR and never had any problems finding tools in a reasonable amount of time. With AO however, no matter how long i play or how many stashes i open, i just can't find any. Traders don't sell them either. Could you change that somehow please? At this rate Forester will take my second leg too...
Delete the file located in "gamedata/scripts/coc_treasure_manager.ltx"
The vanilla version has an odd behaviour with stashes dynamically refilling/changing after every reload you can get all kinds of rare items without ever leaving the cordon so I just disabled that but toolkits do appear.
