A collection of rolling fixes and tweaks for Anomaly 1.5 (Beta 2.4) that don't deserve their own pages.
I'll be updating this addon as I find stuff I can fix or things that bug me.
IMPORTANT: Don't use the droppable Strelok's Manuscript and Decoder tweak if you are currently playing story mode. This is only for freeplay players who got those items from the Hotel Polissya quest, only to find it's just useless inventory bloat. If you are jumping between modes using JSGME for easy switching is a good idea.
I recommend using JSGME to install these files, but you can just drag and drop the gamedata folder into the root Anomaly directory.
This addon currently contains:
-A fix for The Heart of the Oasis being un-droppable/un-stashable while in any sort of container.
-A tweak that allows you to drop Strelok's Manuscript and the Decoder.
-Kevlar had higher explosion and bullet immunity than steel plates for some reason, probably because of DuPont shills. I switched the values between the two.
-A tweak that removes the need for high level knives to harvest the parts of thick skinned mutants, mostly because I think the 6H4 Bayonet looks the nicest. I might include another tweak to give all knives the same stats if I find it's a problem.
-A tweak that changes the SIG550 Sniper magazine size from 20 to 30, this is because the model has a 30 round magazine.
-A tweak that changes the Vepr 12 magazine size from 10 to 8, this is because the model has a 8 round magazine.
-A fix that allows the use of 7.62x54 7H14 ammo with the Mosin, SVD, SVU, SV98, and SVT40. It was completely unused before.
-A tweak that changes Snork movement to vanilla parameters, Snorks were a bit too janky with jacked up movement speed for my liking.
Interesting. Will try when I can. Could you possibly add the feature of the following thing?: When you start with Monolith faction, you can turn off the Brain Scorcher to defect to the Loner faction. Then you can play the Story Mode storyline. Maybe make this work for Warfare too? I tried it in CoC 1.4.22 and it is a feature. But here in Anomaly it isn't.
I wish I knew how to do stuff like that. My expertise goes as far as messing with .ltx files.
Ah. It's okay. Thank you for your response! By the way, these tweaks, are they all separate folders so that they are optional or are they all in a all-in-one folder? For example, the requirement for stronger knives thing is what I like, but your tweak makes it such that all knives can be used for skinning. Which in this example, I don't like what you have tweaked. So, I want all tweaks except the knife tweak, in this example.
I'm just giving suggestions. I don't usually do this on Moddb due to the lack of time and knowledge and my fear of being called out.
Another suggestion came to my mind. Can you somehow restore the 1.25 and 1.5 settings for population factor? In 1.5 there is only 1 as maximum.
in 1.5 Beta 2.4* I meant.
I'll look into how to add more options in the menus, but for now you can just edit it yourself pretty easily.
Edit: \gamedata\configs\axr_options.ltx
Change: alife_stalker_pop (line 81)
Also, all the tweaks are individual.
Oh wow, that seems pretty easy. Thank you for your response comrade! Edit: I wanna ask, can the number be above 1.5?
It can be anything you like.
Ah, I see. Thank you. Hahah, can't wait to put to it at 100 to purposely break my game!
Yo! I have another thing that annoys me. You know how you can give your companion stuff to hold if you happen to have a lot of loot? Every time I give them one item from my side, it scrolls back up automatically. So, I always have to keep scrolling and killing my finger. Could you do something about that? I can explain if you do not understand.
Just came here to motivate you in trying to improve the game. I support ya!
No, wait, I see now, some minor edits were made, that's why.
