Easier ArmedNPCDifficultyLevel Settings

Description

I wont be using this mod as i don't have too many issues with NPC's, but i know some people struggle. So i have lowered or raised a bunch of the settings by 2x to give a bit more breathing room.

This should make them a lot easier, but give me feedback if something needs buffing or lowering

Weapon Categories for the changes below are as follows

• []Melee[/]

  []Handgun[/]

  []Rifle Automatic[/]

  []Rifle Manual[/]

  []Bow[/]

  []Crossbow[/]

  Examples of some of the Variables changed in settings of the 6 categories in Difficulty Levels: 

  • []Melee Cool down Duration: 1-2 seconds(LVL2), 3-4 seconds(LVL1), 6-8 seconds(LVL0)[/]

    []Projectile Damage multiplier is Halved For each weapon in each Level Category[/]

    []Spread Exact value and Spread Multiplier doubled for each weapon in each Level Category[/]

    []Rifle Manual Firing Pause: 3-5 Seconds(LVL2), 4-6 Seconds(LVL1), 6-8 Seconds(LVL0)[/]

    []Rifle Manual Time Between Shot: 1-1. 5 Seconds(LVL2), 1. 5-2. 5 Seconds(LVL1), 3-4 Seconds(LVL0)[/]

    []Rifle Automatic Number of Consecutive Shots: 2(down from 3 for LVL2), 3 Down from 6(LVL1), 3 down from 6 for (LVL0)[/]

    [](I assume the higher level difficulty is less bullets due to the much larger damage increase)[/]

    []Rifle Automatic Firing Pause Duration: 1. 5-2. 5 Seconds(LVL2), 3-4 Seconds(LVL1), 4-6 Seconds(LVL0)[/]

    []Rifle Automatic/Manual Reload Pause Duration: 1-2 Seconds(LVL2),  1-2 Seconds(LVL1),  1-2 Seconds(LVL0)[/]

    []I added a slight Firing Pause to the bow to be inline with crossbow[/]

    Testing in SP and on Server with LVL2 difficulty spawning various in to see the different timing and less bullets, etc.

    Single player Installation instructions:

    • []Download the mod and extract anywhere, then copy the file[/]

      []Open Scum Directory and go to SCUM\Content\Paks[/]

      []Right click, New > Folder, Rename folder "~mods"[/]

      []Paste the file[/]

      Running the mod Safely and bypassing battleye

      • []Open Scum Directory, go to SCUM\Binaries\Win64. [/]

        []Right click SCUM.exe and go to Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)[/]

        []Right click shortcut on desktop and go to Properties[/]

        []After quotations add ( -fileopenlog -nobattleye)  remove brackets, make sure a space after quotations from file.  [/]

      the -nobattleye isn't necessary due to running via the .exe bypasses Battleye so it doesn't load, but might make you feel safer :).

      Press Apply and you're ready to go.

      example of my path ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SCUM\SCUM\Binaries\Win64\SCUM.exe" -fileopenlog -nobattleye)   

      ( DON'T OPEN GAME VIA LAUNCHER OR CLICKING SCUM FROM STEAM LIBRARY WHEN HAVE MODS IN THE FOLDER, AS ANTI-CHEAT CANT DETECT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MODS AND CHEATS CURRENTLY)

      Note to keep in mind, as a safe precaution i cut and remove the ~mods folder to elsewhere when i'm finished playing.  That way if i want to play on official servers or Private with anti-cheat then i can via normal launcher having no issues with battleye.  Can ignore this if just playing single player or you're private server with no battleye and running via shortcut
