Realistic Rebalancing Addon v2.0 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Get someone to help you with the mod description, I'd say. Also, offer more information in regards to by how much the actor parameters have been changed. Have weapon costs and durability stats changed to make up for different stats?

"Bullets make some damage like maslina. "

lol

i like the damage of automatic guns could you increase the damage of pistols?

When you say "A single bullet to the head can kill anyone", how does this addon interact with armors when not using AP rounds? I'm certainly looking for more emphasis on low/unarmored target damage to make armors seem more effective (or more emphasis on armors resistance) though it sounds like just a straight increase in damage overall which in the end kind of makes even armor pointless..

i really like this addon, for me is a must have as i dont like vanilla Anomaly damage values, please keep improving it. I also like the Head Bobbing values.

Would like to give this a try, but there are a few things that keep me from installing this mod. Most notably, the changes to grenades and to mobility.

Now I initially wanted to just give feedback on that but realized that would just be entirely negative. So instead, I just went to each point and wrote my thoughts on it because positive and neutral feedback is important too I think. As a result, here's kind of a text wall.

- Changed weapon stats to reflect their real life counterparts more accurately
Very good. So now a 7.62x39 isn't as powerful as a 7.62x51 I hope, because that was kinda dumb in vanilla anomaly.

- Changed damage dealt to both NPCs and player
So in terms of weapon damage output, then? Since this is applied to NPC and player at the same time IIRC.

- Changed following actor stats:
^Increased overall hit damage (A single bullet to the head can kill anyone)
In addition to the global damage increase? Eh... alright? Maybe? Would have to try to see how much it was increased. As it stands, it seems like the actor has better survivability than NPCs but this balance is easily tipped over to the other side. Could be good but I'll have to see.

^Increased grenade explosion damage radius
It's pretty large to start with, and often you're already in an enclosed space if the NPC is using grenades. There'll be no escape now. I don't use them myself very often because NPCs aren't really that static.

^Increased radiation damage and now radiation doesn't reduce on its own
You see radiation doesn't do damage immediately, it induces all sorts of secondary effects like fatigue, nausea, headaches, and so on, and doesn't start actively killing you until severe doses. Radiation also does leave the body naturally through your breath, sweat, and more significantly, urine and excrement. Eat and drink a lot, for active reduction. Then there's the half-life of the radioactive poisoning, most of which is irradiated dust. Once taken out of the radioactive enviroment, it doesn't stay that way, especially considering the anomalous radioactivity in the zone.

^Increased anomaly damage
I haven't walked into one in a long time so sure. Insta-kills are kinda stupid generally speaking but in some anomalies I can see it happen. I don't really see the point because of how few times one walks into one, but I can agree with the thought behind it.

^Increased damage dealt by wildlife
Would be fine if you could loot / gather enough ammo to properly defend yourself. Generally, though, once a mutant gets into melee they're hard enough to hit that they are already a significant threat, especially considering that they may not be alone and that you can still die on the long term because bandages do literally **** all. I can see lower-tier mutants being not enough of a threat in the late game, but that is by design. It should be that some things stop being a significant threat (until you get into disadvantageous situations like closely confined spaces) and that new and larger threats emerge as you explore further. And let's be honest, if realism is the goal... A dog doesn't kill an armed and armored man easily. Realism works both ways, it's not just an excuse to up the difficulty level.

^Reduced actor movement speed (walk, run, sprint,)
Travel is already a drag as it is. If you don't want people to outrun mutants, just make them faster instead (though I recommend you be really careful with which mutants really should be as fast as a stalker running for his life - the cats and dogs would be obvious, a flesh, probably not).

Макаров пробивает армейский бронежилет? АК74 может пробить броник со 100 метров?

Perhaps it would be a good idea slow healing when sleeping, but very slow.

its not bad but still had to start new game ...oh well but currently only thing bothering me is the stamina? serioysly like 2 jumps and ur out of breath, even misery was more nice than that XD but yeah perhaps tweak it lil bit, keep it hardcore but dont bog down the gameplay 9/10

oh yeah its funny how they can see trough bushes and you cant.. theremight be some tweaking to do. also when i installed this mod, it made i think the game a lot unstable than it used to be

Thanks for the update to 1.4. (increased npc vision) I was literally coming here to ask if you could do this...I am all about that :)
Moddb.com

this is an add-on I made for Last Day, so you are doing me a favor with your work on Anomaly. I also wanted to ask you if the range of the enemy has a substantial effect on the damage you or that enemy take from gunfire...I may be wrong but I think I noticed that at long range 200+ meters or so taking rifle bullets to the chest do less damage? Like if I was withing 100 meters 1 shot im dead, but at extreme ranges if I take shots from large calibers it only tickles like a 9x18 (although I may not have taken a lethal shot, maybe it just grazed my arm or something).... Just wanted to thank you for this add-on (so essential holy moly), and ask about the damage mitigation due to range...Cant wait to test out 1.4, Im a sniper by playstyle and my immersion is shattered when I go to shoot someone at 300+ yards and they just sit there and ignore me while I shoot their buddy in the face.

Found a "bug"

I bought some military binoculars from Petrenko at Rostok and i went to the mechanic to upgrade them. When I clicked on them the game instantly CTD.

I tested it out without any other mods installed and I can confirm it's this one.

Apart from that, I didn't find anything else.

EDIT:

I copied the binocs weapon file from the vanilla anomaly and replaced the one from this mod and it works, i'm not getting CTD now. So problem solved.

how i change the info pickup radius to normal?

Wherismy,

Thank you for all of the hard work and the generosity to share it!

Some points for you to consider...

- What is meant by "realistic" ballistics? Just because a round is heavier does NOT mean that it'll drop faster or not travel as far as a lighter round. This is because heavier bullets can be fired out of the barrel with MORE PROPELLANT. Thus the bullet can be heavier but it won't drop quickly because it had greater speed.

- Also, bullets should be able to PENETRATE materials and objects. Brian3 of the STALKER Hitman mod did a really good job at this. More here: Moddb.com The one thing that I think is a bit strange, is that his bullets are coded to fire off a tracer every 4th bullet, whereas most soldiers have every 3rd round be a tracer one, with the last 3-5 rounds of a magazine being entirely tracers so that they had a strong visual signal that it was time to switch out magazines.

- It'd be nice to see something **NEW** done with the anomalies other than getting injured or totally killed. It'd be far more interesting to have it capture whomever walks into it, spin him around violently for 3-7 seconds and then fling him out a distance of 2-5 m., with his weapon flying out of his hand (which could be found later).

- I also strongly advise staying far away from a Misery-like economy. These types of very severe economies do NOT make any sense. In real life, and throughout history, when combat starts in a region, cheap weapons and cheap ammunition FLOOD the market, which is DESPERATE for weapons for SURVIVAL needs. Border security is a joke, because they're paid to "look the other way," etc., etc. That said, if you're going to apply a severe economy, then a VERY GOOD REASON should be provided to explain why, and the Player should EXPERIENCE this reason. For example, a good number of missions should be to destroy enemy supply lines, and/or protect one's own supply lines. These missions are CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. Furthermore, the Player/factions should BENEFIT from stopping a competitor's supply line, and for successfully protecting their own supply line. That is, the variety of equipment would increase, the quality would get better and the prices would become cheaper. This would lead to a tremendous sense of accomplishment in the players.

.
I'd also like to add that when it comes to weight and encumbrance, what would be ideal is if one could assign a portion of their gear to a backpack. This backpack would be easy to take on and to wear again. Taking it off would remove the weight and also the encumbrance of its contents, freeing one up for combat and whatnot.

was going to see if you'd consider combining your mod with 'ADJUSTED IRON SIGHT ZOOM LEVEL' mod...Basically I have tried a lot of add-ons for Anomaly but they always crash my game...However yours is the most stable so far and definitely the most essential for restoring 'MIsery' standard to the game, so maybe youd consider incorporating another good mod into yours... Also I wrote a reply to one of your comments you should really look into that, the settings I provided will truly "Make the zone a significantly less welcoming place"

Hey, if you want to turn Anomaly into Dead Air, why not just play Dead Air? Since you already copied like every bad aspect of Dead Air into this mod. It sounds cool that you want to make Anomaly a more intense experience but I think you overdid it. You changed a lot of settings that make the game trial and error tbh.
