📋 About This Mod

This mod tries to make fights and violent interactions more diverse, dynamic and interesting by making NPCs behave in new ways when getting shot (like stumbling and falling when running with a hurt leg, squirming on the ground when injured,

Since HJ does not currently have the time to develop PDO further, Starkweather43 has taken his place as PDO's developer and has uploaded his own Ped Damage Overhaul Reloaded.

Please use and endorse it!

The beta version of Ped Damage Overhaul 2. 0 has been released! It contains new features and major adjustments (described in the changelog), so we'd appreciate your feedback on any bugs and performance issues you encounter. When reporting performance issues, please post your system specs if you can!

Important Infos for Bug Reports:

  • []

    Which Version are you using? (Light, Standard, Overhaul - Optional Files yes/no - Euphoria Compatible yes/no)

    []

    Which other hooks do you have installed? (like RPH)

  • Which other mods and trainers are you using?

    Part of this beta are the "optional features" (which require LML to work). Those are separated in two files. One is responsible for longer reactions after  dismemberment (not compatible with euphoria mods), the other increases the chances of arterial bleeding (e.g. for neck shots).

    _________________________________________________________

    F. A. Q.

    - Feature xyz does not seem to work - what can I do?

    Check if you mod is installed correctly by pressing F9 (the "mod disabled"

    message should show), then pressing F9 again (the "mod enabled" message

    should show, as well as a line saying "ini file found"). If the messages

    don't show or the line says "ini file not found", the mod was not

    installed correctly.

    - I have performance problems - is there something I can do?

    Open the ini and look for the parameter named "ModEffectRange". Set the

    value of this parameter to 50. If it still does not fix your problem,

    decrease the value and try again.

    - I have weird problems with my game (weapons duplicating when dropped, menus bugged, etc.)?!

    You probably have other mods or trainers installed which are causing this

    behavior. If you write a comment searching for help, please include your

    installed mods, trainers and hooks - PDO itself does not cause such

    problems and without this information, helping will be almost

    impossible.

    - I have tweaked the ini and now there is weird stuff happening in my game - help?!

    First off - please don't open bug reports for tweaking errors. I will try to

    help you with tweaking in the comment section, if I can. Otherwise you

    can contact the authors directly on mod-rdr.com.

    _________________________________________________________

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

    You will find NPCs stumbling when trying to run with hurt legs, getting the wind knocked out of them when getting shot, squirming on the ground when fatally injured, moaning in pools of their own blood until they meet their end, clutching their wounds and stumbling around when hit, etc.

    IMPORTANT KEYS (for toggling)
