Yastin + Favkis Fluid Dynamic Relations 1.0.5 addon - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Version: 1.0.5
by Yastin & Favkis_Nexerade

for Anomaly 1.5.1

This is a conversion of both wonderful addons to Anomaly 1.5.1, in one simple ready-to-go package:
- Yastin's Dynamic Relations Fix
- Fluid Relations by Favkis_Nexerade

To Install:

1. Drop the 'gamedata' folder into your Anomaly root directory (merge it with your existing 'gamedata' folder).

NOTE: This addon is fully compatible with Warfare Alife Overhaul. If installing both addons, install this addon AFTER Warfare Alife Overhaul, overwriting the file conflict.

From Yastin's addon page:

Lower relation change values in general.

Relation change "value" changes depending on the victim faction's own relations.

• Factions with many enemies are worth less of a bonus. Monolith are everyone's problem, after all, you have to kill many to make a dent and gain some real recognition.
• Factions with few enemies are worth less of a hit to their buddies. The more friends you have, the less your individual troops' deaths effect each, after all

Additionally, I've implemented his one-way relation change list. From the dynamic_faction_relations.ltx file:

; -- ONE-WAY PAIRS
; -- The first listed faction doesn't care if the second dies. But the second faction cares if the first dies
; -- This can be used as vice-versa pairs. For example, if you want Freedom to not care if Bandits die, and Bandits not to care if Freedom dies, then you can specify freedom,bandit and bandit,freedom
; -- vice-versa pairs are different from unaffected_pairs in that external factors can still affect their relations. For the above example, bandits killing loners can make Freedom angry
; -- If the pair happens to become hostile to each other, these pairs will be ignored until they make peace. Pairs that are already hostile won't come into effect unless they make peace (ex: army and loners)
[one_way_pairs]
pair_1 = ecolog,dolg
pair_2 = ecolog,stalker
pair_3 = ecolog,freedom
pair_4 = ecolog,army
pair_5 = ecolog,isg
pair_6 = ecolog,killer
pair_7 = ecolog,bandit
pair_8 = ecolog,csky
pair_9 = stalker,dolg
pair_10 = stalker,freedom
pair_11 = stalker,csky
pair_12 = stalker,killer
pair_13 = stalker,army
pair_14 = stalker,bandit
pair_15 = stalker,isg
pair_16 = army,stalker
pair_17 = army,bandit
pair_18 = killer,stalker
pair_19 = dolg,freedom
pair_20 = freedom,dolg

To summarize the above, ecologists and loners will not care about deaths of other factions, army won't care about loner/bandit deaths, and duty/freedom won't care about each other.

These pairs are the default ones I've come up with, but you are free to delete them, change them, or add more at your leisure. You only need to make sure that the pair numbers are correct (i.e. not skipping numbers or descending).

From Fluid Relations' addon page:

Fluid Relations establishes limits on the relation between factions.

Examples: stalkers may change their relations from bad to excellent with duty, freedom and clear sky, but can never be hostile to them. Freedom and duty may declare a cease fire, but that will be very temporary, because their relations can't go higher than bad.

Within fluid_relations.script is a table that lists the limits. From the file:

-- note that Monolith, greh (Sin), and Renegade, relations are set not to change (by default, in dynamic_faction_relations.ltx)
-- to use lines that are commented out, remove the "--" before the faction name

local positive_limits={}
positive_limits={
--stalker---bandit---csky---dolg---ecolog---freedom---greh---killer---monolith---army---renegade-----isg
stalker= { nil, 900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 900, nil, 900, -1100, 900},
bandit= { nil, nil, 500, 0, 400, nil, -800, nil, nil, 0, nil, 400},
csky= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 300, nil, nil, nil, -1100, nil},
dolg= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, -900, -1500, nil, nil, nil, -1100, 400},
ecolog= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, -1100, nil},
freedom= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, -700, nil, nil, 700, -1100, 400},
-- greh= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, -1100, 200},

}

negative_limits={

-- renegade={ nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil},
-- isg= { nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil},

To summarize the default limits: Duty/Freedom/Clear Sky will always be neutral to loners. Ecologists can't be at war with the Military. Duty can't be allied with Bandits.

Notice that only half of the table needs to be filled - the reciprocal relation will be automatically adjusted. These are the values I chose, but you should edit them as you see fit. Any changes to this table take effect immediately upon game load, so it can be safely modified mid-game if desired.

This addon is inherently compatible with Warfare Alife Overhaul, and includes its fog of war/dynamic relations fix. If installing both addons, install this addon after Warfare Alife Overhaul, overwriting the file conflict.

Version Log:

1.0.5 - (2021/03/09)

• When a ceasefire is declared from two factions reaching enemy_limit (default: -5000 relation), relations between the two factions will be reset to -500 instead of 0, to simulate continued bitterness about the conflict
• Similarly, when an alliance expires by reaching friend_limit (default: 5000 relation), the relations between the two factions will be reset to 500 instead of 0, to simulate residual goodwill between the groups

1.0.4 - (2021/02/26)

• Added many one-way pairs to make ecologists essentially indifferent to the Zone's politics. Killing tons of soldiers will no longer lead to them declaring war on you

1.0.3 - (2021/02/19)

• Removed the 'buddies' system for now. It was completely breaking relations (ex: killing army would boost relations with them, nobody gets mad ever)
• Online combat deaths of 'unaffected' factions (ex Monolith, Renegades) now provide positive relations to their enemies. This now matches how offline combat deaths are handled

1.0.1 - (2021/02/18)

• fixed missing dynamic_faction_relations.ltx file leading to an inevitable crash... lol

Altered files:

- game_relations.script
- dynamic_faction_relations.ltx
