No Wasted Movement (Faster reloads and Item use)

Description

The idea with this mod is to give Skif a feeling like he's moving with a sense of urgency to his actions, adjusting the speeds of most things Skif interacts with and does in the zone outside of safe areas and cutscenes on a per animation basis. So let me know if I missed something.

Installation instructions

Manual: Extract the ~Mods folder in the archive into your \S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks folder so that there is a No_Wasted_Movement folder with the mod files in your ~Mods folder.

Vortex: Select "Install All" when prompted to select which files to use in the mod.

Main features

All of Skif's melee, weapon jams, pump action weapons, bolt action weapons, item usage, backpack, PDA, weapon reload, weapon swap, weapon equip, and other world interactables like chests and valves/switches have had their animations adjusted to what feels to me like Skif is now moving with purpose when exploring the zone, without rushing too much. Something more in line with a trained soldier with orders to follow. Without hitting inhuman speeds.

I've also included a modifier to the backstep speeds so that Skif doesn't shuffle backwards like he's got his shoes tied. Not full speed backwards walking/running but more like 75-85% vs the default 40-50%.

As for the changes made, I have done most of this through Animation Montage edits in the Zone Kit. The exception is one CFG patch which edits the backstep speeds, so Stalker Character Adjustment Manager might have conflicts if changing those values.

For mod compatibility, I've not tested much yet but I'll add incompatible ones as I'm told/find them. Any mod which adds or adjusts weapon animations, item animations, or world interactables will not work with this, cause issues, or at the very least not be timed the same as this mod.

--- There is also an optional version of the mod which leaves world interactions at the default speed. Chests, valves, buttons, switches, breakers, radios, and more were left at the defaults in this version while keeping all other changes.
