📋 About This Mod
Removes the penalty that reduces your stamina regen by 65% while normal running (or jogging, as some call it). Uses {bpatch}.
Does what it says on the tin. There is normally a penalty that lowers your stamina regeneration rate by 65% while normal running/jogging. This removes that penalty and makes stamina regen feel a lot better. That's it.
The aim of this was to stay as close to vanilla as possible, but make early game stamina bar management feel a lot less terrible. As a bonus, using 2 Thunderberries in the late game feels a LOT less mandatory for running around. One Thunderberry feels a lot better now.
Uses the {bpatch} template_patch method and only modifies the numerical value that defines the penalty on stamina regen rate for running. As simple, non-conflicting and lightweight of a mod as can possibly exist.
Only tested on Steam install version 1. 8. 1. I will not provide support for any other versions, or pirated copies.
Install like you would anything else for Stalker 2, put the .pak file in the following directory:
S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods\
Uninstall by deleting the .pak file from this location.
And most importantly, enjoy the game. :)
