  • Was this mod a port of an older AKI mod? The fact it's written in JS instead of TS is telling but the logger mentioning "AKI" is quite indisputable.


    Regardless, the mod does function as told when conditions are correct, with no other mods altering health values. So, props to that.


    However, as noted by kikirio, there is a much better way to achieve this in an extremely less convoluted way. No offense to you at all, I simply don't see the point in "reinventing the wheel" per-se when we already had BUMA-Revamped (Bosses Use Meta Ammo) for SPT 3.9, which even included a config json. For those savvy, BUMA-Revamped works entirely with SPT 3.11 with just a package.json version update.


    I have also posted a PR in regards to the logging. I see no problem logging for debug purposes but does a user need to see the exact health values of every bot type in the game printed to console?

    • I like BUMA. But it was updated too late. I forgot that I can locally change BUMA's package.json.

  • As I understand it, the mod identifies bosses by increased health in the chest. And bad ammo can spawn because I use a mod to reduce bosses' HP.

    • you can make safe editing in BossesUseHighTierAmmo.js
      replace number 130 for 101 in 2 places

    • Can you provide an example?

    • mod updated

    • Using the hp value of a bot to determine its type, is a pretty funky way of doing it.
      A much simpler solution would be to use botHelper.isBotBoss() this inbuilt method would avoid the side effects from other mod interactions.

    • mod can change ammo to other bot types. isBotBoss don't allow recognize other bot types.

  • I got 5.56 SOST which is 33 pen off of birdeye so i'm not sure it's functioning, i got m62 off of big pipe as well

    • 5.56 SOST can be used only in one way, if penetration power is 40+.
      you can change mod folder name to "zzzBossesUseHighTierAmmo" to make sure the mod applies changes last.

  • hell yeah brother
