Useful Sound Level (Detection Modify) - NVSE

Introduce

in vanilla game, it will create a detection event in the position where you impacted, then the actor will reach and check. This is ridiculous, who will go to the places where bullets probably impact again. In such a situation, long-range shooting is overpower due to there are no any detection on the attacker.

This plugin can make attacker easier to discover.

Install

To get all requirement and use your preferred mod manager (I recommend MO2).

What Does Plugin Do

This plugin will change the actors‘ detection value of attacker which can make attacker easier to discover. The increment of detection value is depend on the sound level of attackers' weapon.

Beside, this plugin will create a vanilla detection event on attackers when they fire weapon. Actually, this event won't change much, but it makes more sense than the original one where the bullet hits

What Does Plugin Not Do

This plugin not add/modify any AI behavior in game. Just change detection value.

It doesn't change the way how game handles detection value, so maybe the detection value will decrease in a short time. But It is enough to make it easier to discover the attacker

Custom

The config file you can located at NVSE\Plugins\UsefulSoundLevelConfig\useful_sound_level.ini.

I'll cover a few of the main Settings here.

; Mode, 0 - vanilla, 1 - more realistic

uMode = 0 ;default

There are 2 mode —— vanilla and realistic.

The vanilla mode will use the sound level of weapon directly to decide the increment of detection value . In vanilla game the three different sound levels correspond to different values as follow:

silence - 10 ( When a weapon use silence will use this sound level. some weapon use this sound level naturally ) ,

normal - 50 ( When a weapon use suppressor will use this sound level. some weapon use this sound level naturally )

loud - 100 (some weapon use this sound level naturall)

The realistic mode provide more complicated way to acquire sound level. In short, the silencer effect is greatly reduced, and it must be used with subsonic projectiles to get benefit.

Recommended use with BallistX

Refer to the configuration file for more information, and I will give you an example file in case you dont know how to do.
