I'm tired of being instantly beamed on Lighthouse, so i made the rogues somewhat less blatant.

What this mod does?

- Normalizes bot skills (BotSound and BotReload) except for cultists;

- Nerfs Rogues by alot;

- Nerfs Raiders by a little.


What is botSound and BotReload?


- BotSound is a hidden skill that dictated how loud bot footsteps are, the most notable example is Birdeye, rushing you at mach5 without making a sound.

- BotReload is another hidden skill that boosts reload speed to comical levels, the most notable example is Zryachiy, taking world record breaking 0.1 seconds to reload a .338 AXMC.


What was changed about Rogues?


Made them more in line with other bot types, instead of being a literal god they now sit comfortably slightly above the efficiency of raiders;

They are now more reactive to being shot, less accurate, take longer to reach max accuracy, are more affected by distance, lowered their hearing distance and efficiency, fire smaller bursts and suffer more recoil;

If that sounds like alot, then don't worry, they are still slightly better than Raiders in most of those.


What was changed about Raiders?


Removed their ability to DIRECTLY aim at heads during it's INITIAL engagements, after 5 seconds it's all clear for the Head/Eyes express.


Disclaimer: Raiders still might hit a headshot due to inaccuracy, player movement, aim punch, bad luck, pure jank, Nikita's will, a severe case of "magnet brain" or even the bot shifting his point of aim due to its gun being close to a wall.

  • Hello, Im a bit new to SPT and the concept of downloading mods and moving files into the correct folders. Could someone kindly explain what to do after I download this mod?

    • Most mods follow the same structure: just drag & drop the archive contents into your installation folder.

      In the same location as your SPT launcher and server, you'll find the BepInEx/plugins/ folder (for client mods) and user/mods/ (for server mods).

      This mod is a server mod (you can tell because the archive contains a user folder). Just extract it into the main installation directory – that's all.

      Client mods are usually a single .dll file (like BepInEx/plugins/example.dll), while server mods are typically folders with a package.json and other files (e.g. user/mods/spring-FairFight_BrainRebalance).

      Rule of thumb: for most mods, drag & drop is all you need. If you don't see a BepInEx or user folder in the archive, place the files manually into BepInEx/plugins or user/mods.

  • Hello,

    I am trying to understand your source code and I get stuck on an issue:

    You seem to be able to access the botTable and for a certain botType manipulate a skill stored in Common and named BotReload:

    botTable['arenafighter'].skills.Common.BotReload.min = 0;

    but I get an error in my IDE saying:


    TS2339: Property BotReload does not exist on type Common[]



    and indeed when looking at the sp-tarkov server source code for the 3.11.3 tag I don't see a BotReload in Common:



    Any pointers to how this works for you would be much appreciated :p

    Flir

    • Im currently on 3.11.2
      Its either a version difference or you have another mod that already does the normalization part.

      Double check if you have another mod that normalizes bot stats.

  • Can this be used in SPT 3.10.5?

    I must say that I am very annoyed by cheating bots, and many things I was able to tweak in SAIN mod but never I found even manually in files the idiotic light fast reload boost for Killa or other bots.
    I tried to see into your mod just after downloading it but there is no config files. Also no option to tweak anything in F12 menu. But anyway, do you plan to make your mod configurable? I am mostly interested in removing this stupid BSG design ideas of insane fast gun reload for some bosses.

    • No idea as i skipped 3.10 since i was too busy playing OSRS Leagues.

    • Regarding configs, the mod is server side (So no F12) and adresses the issues mentioned in the mod page, there is no config file because there isn't anything to config, if you wish to change something then tweak the mod's code itself (No support for changes).

  • Hey thanks for the mod! Is there a way for me to nerf laser accuracy of all PMC and bot types like SAIN's from your codes?

    • Probably yes, but would require a lot of manual work and the results would be subpar at best.


      Feel free to play around with the code, its Unlicense anyways.


      Keep in mind i wont give support to things you changed.

    • BSGs idea of bot accuracy is so messed up that I only was able to deal with it in SAIN mod. Earlier I manually edited all BOTs skills in relative files. SAIN helps a lot in making this faster.
      Most idiotic and annoying thing is the made up recoilless BOTs mainly for bosses where they can autofire many bullets into one EXACT spot. Accuracy for me was less of a problem.

    • Hey man it turns out that another mod I had was messing up with bot's accuracy somehow, when I uninstalled it by chance, most bots other than bosses turned to normal and now I can survive lol.

  • Hello,


    Wanted to ask do you think or know if this mod will interfere with DrakiaXYZ's No Boss PMCs mod cause it looks like this one is for Bosses and the other one is for PMC just looking for confirmation if I understand it correctly


    Thanks

    • No conflict whatsoever, i use both.


      Drakia's just removes boss brains from PMCs brain pool, leaving only pmcBear and pmcUsec.


      Mine primarily tweaks 'exusec' (Rogues) brains and removes cheaty bot skills from all bots (Except cultists).

    • Thanks for the answering so quickly :) Will try out ur mod, thank you for your work, cause we need somekind of SAIN alternative and every bit counts

  • Thanks for your mod ! Would this mod conflict with SAIN ?

    • No compatibility issues but using this mod with SAINs is pretty much useless, this mod tweaks default brain values while SAINs disables default brains, so youre pretty much just bloating your server boot time if using both.

    • I apologize right away that this is an off-topic question. But how did you set up the SAIN? Is there already a version for 3.11?

      Thumbs Up 2

    • Where can i get sain plssss

    • Nope, SAIN hasn’t been released for 3.11 yet. I was just asking to see if those mods might work together in the future.

  • Nice mod!

    Yeah, this is exactly what I need after I got one tapped by rogues and raiders....

  • It would be great (and simple enough) to include all bot types, including bosses. Leave them as default and we can tweak the mod as we wish.


    Also, why did you make Any Part Shoot Time = 30 when only Scavs have that value and everything else is 5? I found this puzzling.

    • Fighting Rogues usually happens in open spaces so 5 seconds is pretty much nothing, iirc by default they have 889 seconds since they are able to aim at heads at start, changing their aim type to 5 (center mass) kinda forces me to lower that number.


      From testing that is only used for the first aggro you do, after 30sec every subsequent aggro will allow any body part.

  • hello, going to give this a shot when I get back. Will this work for all bots or just, raiders, bosses, and rouges? Thank you for the mod!

    • For the bot skills its across the board, every enemy, except cultists, had their botsound and bot reload reduced to 0.


      As for the brain rebalance its almost exclusively towards rogues, raiders caught a slight nerf but nothing major.

    • awesome! Thank you so much! Maybe this will help with me not getting lasered every raid I go into lol. Great work dude!

  • Oh dear, thank you so much. I actually disabled Partizan in my game, because his silent approach and random spawning gave me cheater flashbacks from live Tarkov.


    Didn't want to turn off the Rogues, but they also often feel like a bunch of cheaters.

  • wow... Looks like it's a future of sain... ))) thanks for your job!!!

    • Far from it, SAIN is much more advanced, this is just a bandaid for my sanity when playing lighthouse
