Version 2.6.6

Small update

• Updated bosses/rogues/raiders/etc.. to have MOAR run the spawn chance roll instead of spt.
  This should fix a number of boss invasion/boss spawning bugs!
  
  Basically this preemptively culls bosses that will not spawn (if they lose their roll), and assign those that succeed a 100% spawn rate.
  This may help with load times and mods like ALP in particular, as when the bot isn't in the pool, the game will not run the loadout generation on them!
  
  
• Updated the preset announce to be a bit earlier, after the game is confirmed to load in, but before the player spawns.
• Updated a few small things in presets.

That's all for now.

For FAQ's sake, please read, before commenting:

• I don't understand difficulty something something... ?
  
  Moar sets the difficulty preset (easy/medium/hard/impossible), sain or spt decides the bots behaviour from there.
  Yes this works fine with SAIN, and is intended to be used with it.
  
• I don't understand Bepinex something something!!?
  
  Hover over the value in the bepinex and read the tooltip.
• I changed Something something in the bepinex but its not working grrr!?
  
  >>>>>> Hit "Save" at the bottom of the bepinex <<<<<<
• FIKA something not saving bepinex something something!?
  
  For fika, the configuration is saved in memory on the server, the idea being that fika servers should be run on dedicated machines and have long up time.
  If you want your settings to persist through restart and use FIKA, make sure to set those defaults in config.json/presetWeightings
  

• Bepinex version is saying XX but I downloaded latest?
  I forgot to update the version for the client mod, if you downloaded latest, this is fine.
  The client mod requires changes rarely, thus I don't always repackage it (updating the version).
  
  
• Something something..server configs broken, I'm no Coder something 不明白 .json !%#@?
  If you are attempting to adjust the server configs and are not technically inclined please take a look at this handy tutorial.

• My CPU is dying with maxBotCap of 25 and/or startingPMCs turned on ANGRY something...!
  
  People love the idea of startingPmcs as this is what live is like, what it actually does is forces your potato CPU to spawn (the most cpu intensive operation in spt) all of the pmcs for the entire raid at the same time (or over the first few minutes in the case of Moar), to add to this, all bosses, there followers, rogues, raiders, are already using this period to smash your potato CPU to bits.
  
  When you spawn all of the pmcs at once, those pmcs will then go forth to murder each other and whatever other bots have spawned on the map (much like live), further heel smashing your already mashed potato cpu into the dirt.
  
  I would suggest leaving startingPmcs off if you don't have a cpu with X3D in the name, or if you do not want the majority of your pmcs to die off in the first 10 minutes of the raid, or if you do not like finding piles of bodies around the map.
  
  If you still have performance issues:
  
  An alternative to turning off starting pmcs would be to reduce the maxBotCap, but be aware, pmcs/bosses will blast through that limit, meaning you will have a harder time finding marksman/scavs early game if you do both turn on startingPmcs AND turn down the maxBotCap.
  
  Thus, I recommend only reducing maxBotCap if startingPmcs is already off, pmcs will still largely spawn in the first 10 - 15 minutes by default.
  
  One can also set the maxBotCap via the mapConfig.json per map if so desired.
  
  Extra potato mode:
  
  Some settings to try if you are still having issues.
  
  Change these values in your user/mods/Dewar...Moar/config.json to ensure they are always active.
  
  "pmcWaveDistribution": 0.5,
  (this makes it so pmcs will spawn over the entire period of the map)
  
  "scavWaveDistribution": 0.3,
  (as bosses spawn at the beginning this pushes those initial scav waves a bit later in the raid to balance cpu load).
  
  "maxBotCap": 18,
  (lowest recommended 15)
  
  "maxBotPerZone": 3,
  (lowest recommended 3)
  
  "pmcMaxGroupSize": 3,
  "scavMaxGroupSize": 3,
  
  Once you open the game, reset the default settings in the bepinex by clicking "reset to default".

Hi,

I seem to be having an issue with PMC spawning. Every time I load in a raid with the "Enable bosses" setting turned off, I get 0 PMCs only scavs. This issue presists even with the StartingPMC setting turned ON.

Tested on a fresh build and latest mod files with this mod being the only one running.

Thanks for the mod. On 2.6.6 only PMCs spawn in Labs, no raiders spawn.

Been loving the mod, just one question. Do the smugglers spawn with this? Saw a some things about them with 3.10 but I have yet to find any myself. Currently on a lvl 20 playthrough

For some reason, this mod isn't working on Streets. I used the preset to spawn more PMCs but for some reason, the only bots on the map are sniper scavs. Nothing else is spawning at all...not sure if it's because of some incompatibility with other mods. I don't have any other mods that affect spawn rates.

Edit: I figured out my problem, I had enabled "PMC open Zones ON" and "PMC/Scav player openZones ON" at the same time so it conflicted.

Would be nice if you could only have one or the other "enabled" so that if you enabled one, the other was greyed out.

Hi, more fps on streets, minimum bots

I’m not entirely sure, but it seems that if you enable openzones for all bots and remove all hot zones from mapConfig, then FPS will not drop so much, because the main problem is a large concentration of bots in one place. In the tests that I conducted using debugging bots in CWX Mega mod and Dymanic maps, the number of bots in the zone did not exceed 3 in about 3 out of 5 tests, of course, not counting bosses who have followers, they always exceed the limit. Basically the limit was exceeded by 1 and mostly it was scav, I don’t know what this is connected with. if someone reads this in an attempt to improve productivity, try doing what I did above, maybe it will help

hello , who is "peacemaker" and "pmcBot"? or "pmcBot" just is pmcs? thx

Hello,

Scavs/PMCS are not spawning in on ground zero for me. Spawns appear to be fine on every other map. All MOAR settings are on default.

Mods installed:

Algorithmic Level Progression

MOAR

Entry Point Selector

shiny airdrop guns

mroe checkmarks

item info

All the clothes

ammo stats

looting bots

SAIN

server value modifier

Let me know if there's any other information I can provide to help. Much appreciated.

Not sure what's happening but I am not getting any spawns on Factory night. Not sure of other maps but I went back to 2.6.1 to test and it worked fine. I think I had the issue with the one before 2.6.6 as well but at the time I was going to be and didn't update till just a little while ago to 2.6.6. I'll test other maps to see if it's an issue anywhere else.

its very sad that this mod dont have "spawned only pmcs" like in swag+donuts. anyway thanks for it good work

There a way to get Reshala to spawn? Was looking at the config for the bosses and don't see Reshala on there.

I am getting pretty bad stutters like others in the comments. I've tried just about everything (deleting preformance mod, changing maxBotCap, changing wave distribution, turning off startingPMCs) and I am still taking some massive stutters and frame drops. I don't think my PC is the issue as I have a 5800x3d and 4070 super, but I could be wrong. Is there anything else I can try or is SPT 3.10 just not very optimized?

is there a way to choose the amount of pmcs spawned? I wanted a more live like experience without respawn of pmcs , I tried to reduce the number of waves ( 2 for pmcs and 5 for scavs ) but now only appear 2 pcs and 2 or 3 scavs the whole match

Hello,

why do I have the value "maxBotPerZone": 3 sometimes the number of bots in the zone reaches 8-10, for example in the dormitory at the customs when Reshala spawns there. Is this due to the fact that the dormitory is a hot zone? or is it because the bosses don’t care about the limit of bots in the zone? This really affects on my fps

Really like all the updates you are bringing to this, but something is still not wokring correctly. For example on shorlines I never get bots to spawn in certain areas, like Zone_StartVillage, zone_roadtocustoms, allthough I use all openzones settings and even added them to scavhotzones, also I'm never seeing more than one scav at once, while I put the maximum number per squad to 4.

Luas Spawn Rework back in the day, had an option to define the number of squads that would spawn immediatly and even set the number of individual bot types to spawn. Would something like that be possible?

Hello,

is there way to tune out scav raids? What i am looking for is to set up how many PMCs will be on raid scav. As of right now there is same amount of them as in PMC raid. I am looking to have something similiar like on live raids.

Your committment to improve and develop this mod is absolutely great! Thank you very much!

Not sure if I'm just cursed, but since the 2.6.5 update, PMCs and bosses have started spawning on top of me. Almost literally in one case; 2 seconds between spawn and being shot at (as measured by Raid Review). By sheer luck I survived that, upon which another PMC promptly spawned in front of me and head,eyes'd me instead.

Below is a list of the mods I think might be interacting to cause this; I have plenty more than this though, and can provide the full list (and/or mod configs) if needed:

• BossNotifier (I know they just fixed a bug where it notifying you broke boss AI, maybe it was breaking spawning too?)
• MOAR 2.6.5 (configuration left alone aside from turning "startingPMCs" on; was on my way to report this when you released 2.6.6)
• EFTAPI
• Performance Improvements 0.2.2
• Raid Review
• SAIN 3.2.1
• SVM 1.10H4
• Unity Toolkit 1.0.1

Reading the comments below, maybe Performance Mod is to blame? I left it on default configuration for everything, if that helps at all.

Most of the AIs start attacking each other as soon as they spawn, resulting in very few people on the map.If I want to keep the number of AIs on one of the maps fixed at 18, for example, if two AIs die, two new AIs will immediately respawn, ensuring that there are always 18 AIs on the map at all times. How should I set this up?

I have a problem, PMCs are not spawning, I have the latest version 2.6.6 installed and open zones are disabled. When version 2.6.1 was installed, everything worked fine. Here is a list of installed mods:

Audio Accessibility Indicator, Waypoint, DynamicMaps, Lootingbots, Lootvalue, Moar, Sain

IDK why but all the bots are standing still when I start raid

I have mods installed :
FIKA
SAIN + BIgBrain

and a LOT of mods from WTT with new guns

But when I enter the FACTORY (for ex.) all the PMC bots spawn before each other nad just fire into the wall until they run out of ammo and stand still aand only respond when I stand right before their eyes

I noticed that when I have BossInvasionSpawnChance set to enabled, (have it set to 40% chance usually) for some reason every single boss spawns. Is this intended to spawn every single boss on the map or is it supposed to roll the chance to spawn each boss individually. If it's coded to spawn them all on the map is it possible to adjust it to have the chance being the chance for each individual boss to spawn and not the chance for every boss all at once?

I've tried adjusting a lot of the sliders, with different settings, including increasing/decreasing the distribution, quantity, and the invasion spawn chance itself and for whatever reason it's either every single boss comes to the party or maybe only the maps main boss.

I also have tried restarting both client and server while playing around with the settings, along with trying it on all maps, but same thing occurs, it's either all or nothing.

Based on the wording of the description which says chance of each invading boss spawning I'm wondering if I've buggered something up. Thanks

The Goons spawn 100% of the time, even though I have their probability set to 30%, and no other mods that affect bot spawning. I've checked the config files, and everything seems as expected. Is this a known bug? Any suggestions?

I've noticed that the performance mod is what gives me stutters and dropped fps. As dewardian mentioned, lower the amount of bots on each map in the config.json. That fixed my fps and stutters more than anything else I've tried

This mod makes my game drop frames like no tomorrow, even when i only have "Live Like" preset active. And my SAIN difficulty gets overridden. Dont know what's causing it. allthough i just deactivated "Preformance mod" but didnt unistall it. Dont know if thats the issue here.

Mods active:

-SWM

-Drakia Waypoints

-Drakia BigBrain

-SAIN

-Preformance mod

-Declutter

-UnityToolKit

-Cactuspie Ramcleaner

-Moar

Any chance you can include "always hostile" settings, so PMC of the same faction and scavs are always hostile? I'm somehow facing an issue with all scavs beeing none agressive.

Edit: could you please also chekc on shoreline please? Spawning is a bit strange still. Most areas are somehow dead, even on insanity, but as soon as I enter, bots are suddenly spawning.

The moar version in my game keeps appearing as 2.6.2 in the F12 menu, in the console it appears 2.6.5, am I doing something wrong?

Hello! I had a question if anyone could help. I download this mod in hopes of farming bosses for quests. I have the mod setting set to default and I have enabled bosses with their chance of spawning set to 100%. I also enable bosses and don't touch the AI amount of AI difficulty however None ever spawn at any map. thanks for any help!
