Ped Damage Overhaul V

OVERVIEW

This mod tries to make gun fights more diverse, dynamic and interesting and keep them that way throughout the game.

You will find NPCs staggering and stumbling when trying to run with hurt

legs, going down without dying within seconds, still audably reacting to

player behavior when down, etc.

FEATURES

Here is a quick overview of the most important features:

First off, almost all of the features and their characteristics are based on

chance, so the behaviors won’t be the same every time you encounter them

- which should ensure more diverse fights and keep things interesting

for longer than vanilla does... that was the idea, at least :)

Almost every feature can be enabled, disabled or tweaked in the ini (more

information further down the page), so this is not only a mod, but also

enables you to create your own experience.

The mod is activated by default and the toggle key is F9 (both can be changed in the ini).

This mod only alters behaviors and attributes of human NPCs - animals or anything else remain untouched.

Features:

• []NPCs go down in 1-5 shots (to the torso) depending on your weapon and their body armour (and are not dead).

  []NPCs do more damage.

  []NPCs are less accurate marksmen.

  []NPC accuracy reduces when their health gets lower.

  []NPCs take less damage from leg or arm shots.

  []When their health decreases below a certain threshold, NPCs fall over and don’t get back up. Then they go through three different stages of dying, each with its own randomized "behavior" (movement on the ground). Eventually NPCs will die from blood loss.

  []There is a bleeding feature, which makes NPCs lose health after they have been fatally injured. It operates based on chance, so NPCs don’t all bleed out in the same amount of time.

  []All PCs can be disarmed.

  []NPCs burn alive for a little longer when set on fire.

  []NPCs have a chance of staying on the ground for a random amount of time when shot (based on their health) - so you can now knock the breath out of your opponents.

  []NPCs will try to audably react to different situations (they can panic, try to calm you, beg for their lives, etc.).

  []For all included behaviors the movement and pain sounds have been adjusted (and also randomized) to hopefully make your experience more interesting.

  We hope that you will have as much fun with this mod as we
