Reworked Ghillie suit parameters, visuals and detection formula in an attempt to bring the it back to life :) And now added foliage overlays to work alongside current masks
Ghillie suit can be worn over other armors, reworked detection method and other tweaks to make the ghillie suit more useful nor too OP
Conflicts: addons which modify o_lcs.ltx, and trans_outfit.script. Patches are provided for Stealth 2.0, HD models and THAP. Additional patch for Mags Redux to prevent magazine unequipping and to remove loadout slots for ghillie. If you have other conflicts or errors let me know in the comments or the anomaly discord(log and modlist required)
The latest version and the previous ones can be found here : Github Repos
What was changed :
- Ghillie Suit is now used as an attachment rather than a separate outfit. It can be worn over
any outfit that has a backpack slot(optional enabler for 2 novice outfits and exo category included)
- All of its protection values are null and upgrade schemes are removed
- The detection formula has been slightly reworked(the vanilla one was just horrible tbh). It changes NPC vision range and field of view based on:
1). The surface you're standing on. Only grassy and dirt surfaces allows you to stay hidden(this can be changed in the script, guide provided)
2). The player stance. Standing and running will get you easily detected, crouching allows you to approach enemies closer and being prone(Ctrl+Shift low crouch in anomaly terms) will let you approach them really really close and you can actually sneak past them
3). The current weather. Its easier to stay hidden in rainy and foggy weather compared to clear and cloudy weather
4). The time of day, obviously its better to sneak at night
5). But it you get somehow detected, you're no longer hidden and have to break line of sight by getting to cover if you wanna stay hidden again
6). Don't be dumb, using flashlights and torches will get you detected even if you're wearing the suit. Why would you do that though?
7). Firing with a non-silenced weapon could give away your position
Or if you want a dynamic experience you can use it alongside stealth addon. It has its own formula based on luminosity so I didn't need to do much
I will work on better compatibility with stealth addon for the future
- The actor visuals and hands are managed in a realistic way. If you wear a ghillie over an outfit your visuals will change to the ghillie and will revert if you unequip it. And the ghillie will be automatically unequipped if you want to equip a different main outfit. Mask overlays are conserved (haven't tested yet with nav's masks)
- MCM support provided so you can tweak some settings to your liking(if you don't have it, get it here
- Added Mask overlay for ghllie which can be toggled on/off via MCM
- Decreased price and weight for balancing purposes
- Added hotkey for quick equip/unequip ghillie. button "\" by default, can be changed in the script
Installation :
Rather straight forward, copy gamedata folder from
1) 00. Main addon
2) Apply the correct patches for the ones you're using
3) Optional enabler for exos, nosorogs, protoexos, and novice outfit should you need it
Recommended to use Mod Organizer 2 as for any anomaly addon installation.
For best experience, recommended to use alongside Mora's AI more covered(for better AI reactions), Stealth 2.0(for dynamic detection formula based on luminosity) and T.H.A.P. Anomaly Rev/EFT hands pack /THAP rework (because the vanilla model and hands are quite bad). And also recommended to play with high grass length and density if your PC is powerful enough.
If you're using winter mods, it's recommended to use winter ghillie (install after THAP). But note that it'd just be aesthetic because winter mod is just textures and particle replacement, the engine doesn't know where the snow actually is till someone makes an updated gamemtl.xr (it's too much work unfortunately). Till then, it'll behave just like the usual grass ghillie
known bugs/drawbacks :
- Some areas doesn't have grass even though classified as grass surfaces by the game and everythng just depends on what the engine thinks rather than what you actually see. I can't do anything about the engine
- It seems random depending on script load and outfit but ghillie sometimes gets unequipped on level change and maybe even on loading a save

Credits :
Ravenascendant for helping me with the scripts and for MCM
xcvb/bvcx for his guidance and help for stealth addon compatibility
HarukaSai for letting me steal portions from his script like always :P
Grokitach and Ishmael for their assistance in scripting
Jurkonov for the screenshots
Nav's masks for the overlay texture
NOTE : If you encounter any problems with ghillie getting unequipped on changing levels or loading a save, rename the ghillie_equip_override.script to zzz_ghillie_equip_override.script It's happening because of script delay
Plans for future updates :
1) animated overlay(meaning the foliage can move around). I could use some help around here
2) degradation and speed penalty
and general balancing. I need feedback and ideas, please so that
There's a typo in word "luminocity", pls fix
just like inside the engine :))
lol
How to add weight function to your Ghillie?
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
cool and good, thanks for the addon bro!
Greetings, a question, what does the Optional complement bring? because i am using this Addon
Moddb.com And I have conflicts.
Could you provide a compatibility patch if needed?
optional is just to enable the backpack slot for exos, nosorogs, protoexos and 2 novice outfits which was disabled by default. I don't recommend using it, coz exos are too OP in the game already and putting ghillie suit over them doesn't sound realistic. Hence why I added it as optional for the casuals
I understand, thank you very much :)
A compatibility patch is super easy to do, just delete the line
backpack_avaliable = false
(or set to true) from base.ltx outfit restrictions 3 & 4, which belongs to the exo category
great I will try with that thank you very much
Greetings again, I have found a small problem, apparently the game closes automatically when I try to open the description of the armor (Armored Mercenary Suit Skate-9) I am not sure if it is only with that armor but it is possible that it happens with all of them. I am using the recommended and specified patches and plugins in the plugin description and also Equipment Parts Review, but I have no conflict with this plugin, I may not be responsible for the problem. the problem occurs when opening the description of any outfit
Fixed in v1.0.3
Excellent works perfect, good job really an incredible complement now the stealth will have another level, Thank you very much
Is there any way to make it carry weight like a backpack?
Yes, but by logic a ghillie suit should be weighing you down. But if you wanna do it anyway, add two lines in the ghillie_outfit section in o_lcs.ltx
additional_inventory_weight = 10
additional_inventory_weight2 = 10
Here 10 being the extra weight in kgs
you can look at the other outfit sections to see how its done. its easy
Ill try, but i did it before and did not work very well, it did nothing, then o was foolish enough to give it a negative weight value. Ill try again and let u know of my findings
Hey, I just tried to set the weight in the ltx but no matter what I enter it does not work. It still says OVERLOAD as soon as I go over the capacity of the armor. But in the inventory the additional weight is actually there when I wear the Ghillie Suit. Only it has no influence.
EDIT: I want to use the mod in Escape from Pribyat, because it was recommended to me there in Discord. Since I always play with the Ghillie in the New Game Loadout, I was very pleased to see that someone makes the effort to finally rework the Ghillie and make it more realistic. So it would be handy for me to simulate a backpack under the ghillie with the weight.
same issue, only "workaround" i've found has been to always add an extra x amount of carry weight in difficulty settings. spitballing here, but maybe it's because the game doesn't recognize the ghillie as a true backpack? while i'm by no means skilled, I could see if there would be some way of including the ghillie among the backpacks and such, maybe that would fix it? (and with my skill, break a thousand other things...)
Still, trying doesn't hurt, heh.
you are correct, the ghillie is still an outfit as far as the engine is concerned. However, 1.5.2 update has given me enough tools for a workaround, I'll get to it when I'm free
i'm gonna follow that mod i have been waiting sooo long for mod like that. NOW i can properly play my game in the best way 'stealth'.
Should have recommended HD models too. I know you have a RTX 3080 TI and i9 threadripper. XDDD but for real tho, I played with it, I like it.
Yes i have a military grade gigachad supercomputer which is making terminator AI to take over the world :]
Greetings I found another small problem, the suit is removed from the backpack slot, when picking up the suit of a dead NPC, or when lifting a suit that is lying on the ground
fixed in v1.0.4
Nice
this is absolutely what I need! Thanks
hello, just one question, is this mod compatible with Escape from Pripyat modpack?
Yes, it is compatible if you apply the patches I provided for HD models, THAP and stealth, but it depends coz EFP 2.0 has an older version of HD models and doesn't have THAP, but if you're on EFP 2.5 you need all patches. And I am in the EFP discord server, I can give you a better answer there
What is your discord name? :o I am in EFP discord, and I was hoping to get some help installing your mod to be compatible with EFP. I just downloaded EFP and installed it for the first time! :D
sorry for late reply, I'm in EFP discord too. Just search Sneaky#6725
Thanks for the addon!
Is it intentional to have the ghillie suit unequip every time I hit a load screen? Or is something wrong on my end?
Yo i was about to ask the same thing, happens too on my end, it gets removed plus any attachments/artifacts you currently have on
Hey, so I just realized that this addon was updated 3 days ago. I've downloaded it an so far it seems to be working. Moved back and forth between Limansk and Dead City without it unequipping and the mods staying in the belt. Picking up suits also doesn't remove the ghillie anymore.
plz update the addon, it's fixed in v1.0.5
I made a few mistakes because I'm bad at testing xD and xray engine doesn't give me a lot of options
for the first time ever the ghillie suit makes sense to buy. i found that it has little to no use and the most suitable occasion to purchase is when i want to go snipy and love to blend in. now it has purpose gosh darn it.
What graphic/reshade are you using
Agressor Reshade
No reshades :))
Great mod so far, been using it since its release and haven't noticed anything unusual. It pairs greatly with the Stealth mod by bvcx.
I saw above you did plan to add degradation and speed penalties, which would be great as it'd balance the ghillie suit. Something like 15-20% (MCM configurable) speed penalty would be "realistic" in terms of how much a ghillie hinders your movements, and make it where it's a thing you carry around in your ruck until you actually need it instead of just wearing it all the time. You could do things like drain food/water to represent how tired and hot you'd be wearing it, etc.
Interesting suggestions, thanks you I will look into it for the future
A masterpiece of a mod. Keep at it.
What reshade/graphics are you using in the images?
I'm not using any reshades or any other graphical mods in these images
yeah, this deserves way more traction. good job, this is great
Which a gasmask mod overlay?
I recommend grok's masks & reflections or nav's 4k definitive masks
Hi, can you make it so that there is no foliage overlay on the mask from the third person?
Yes, inside the MCM options
