SAIN preset for Realism + TarkovIRL WHM + That's Lit.

This preset is for SPT 3.10.x and all the pertinent mods for that version (Realism, That's Lit, TarkovIRL-WHM, and SAIN obviously)


This mod follows the work of theFEARhunterZ's Really Real Bots, which was made specifically for Realism + TarkovIRL WHM + That's Lit. These are my changes to his base work, so foundational credit must go to him!


In brief, I've tried to nudge bots more in the direction of positional fighting. They should be more likely to immediately take cover when being engaged, and in general are less accurate when fighting back. This is to reflect the added difficulty of aiming in TarkovIRL - WHM.


Enemies will not just stand in an open field shooting back at you pathetically if you catch them unawares. They will stay in cover for longer, and shouldn't rush you like idiots when you have a good angle set up on them. You'll be better off flanking if you can.


The bots also take longer to spot you if you are stationary, but will spot you quickly if you're sprinting. They see further and hear a bit better than the base mod.


That's the gist of it. It's very early days for this mod, I would love any feedback from players who have all the correct mods installed.

    Tried to address criticisms from v1.0:

    • Slightly buffed bot accuracy / reduce target acquisition time
    • Buffed accuracy specifically against moving targets
    • Slightly buffed bot aggression
    • Reduced bot propensity to remain too long in cover

    Thanks to all who gave feedback, keep it coming!

  • There will always be one thing missing (well... two) and it's realistic reload :( for bots. They reload reaaaaall fast.
    Also they never get out of ammo, but... well, yes, it's perhaps even bigger wish - to make an option for that. I notice bots have secure container in which there is a tooooon of ammo. If only there's a way to edit that container :)

  • Ported to 3.11 and did some adjustments for my Hardcore Roguelite playthrough. Works quite well so far :)


    Scavs are pretty scary too though xD

    • Heck yeah!

    • what do you mean you ported it to 3.11? what settings did you have to adjust for?

    • All you really need to do is install this preset as you normally would. Then in the SAIN gui, just select this preset then "create new preset". SAIN then just copies all the settings into a fresh preset for the current version number

    • The adjustments I made were because this preset was created with Realism and IRL in mind. I just made the bots a bit more accurate since these mods aren't updated for 3.11 yet

    • ya i've got it installed was just curious what you changed, thanks!

  • my current issue with this preset is ill be at radar station shooting a scav at train station and they will turn and shoot at me, it's wild. they also seem to know where i am all the time. I love the rest of the behavior but they seem a little unrealistic in some characteristics.

    • Thank you for the feedback, I'll try to work on that. So to follow up, when they shoot back is the return fire immediately effective? Or do you get the feeling that the risk is very low that they'll actually hit you? Honestly it doesn't bother me that much they that return fire from the train station: in tarkov in general, I feel the engagement distances are artificially small just because of the game's game loops. In reality that distance well within effective range for mid calibers. So, again, that they engage you doesn't bother me much. Being scavs (ie crackheads), they should not engage too quickly or effectively at that range.


      Would love videos.

    • I wouldn't say the first shot is "effective," surprisingly close, yes, but not effective. I'll try to load the preset and get back to you. I also turned on icons on dynamic maps (trying to fix my bot spawning rate) and I noticed they were tracking me through walls at a distance. It was pretty wild; something isn't loving it. Oh, full disclaimer: I am using this with the 3.11 version of SAIN, even though I'm sure that doesn't matter.

      Edit: I also can't get that's lit working. i've run the proper one and they didn't seem effected at all so i dropped it. in fact i think they were seeing through bushes easier.

    • The biggest factor that affects how quick a bot can track you is hearing distance. I'm no expert but the AI here seem to track based on a last known. Once a bot becomes aware of your position, it instantly locks onto you (regardless of obstacles). The vision speed values just determine how quick the bot goes from "seeing" you to shooting you. Best way to slow their detection speed down is to reduce how far out they can hear you.

  • I love it, it's far better than original. Tho i have a small problem , the bots seem to not hit you when you are moving, they can't just hit you. If you're standing still they have a preety good aim.

    • I noticed that too, they have pretty good aim when you stand still. And they barely hit you when you keep moving.

    • Great feedback guys. Just some clarification: can they not HIT you or do they not even shoot?

    • Like they shoot into the ceiling, wallls etc, but they can't seem to hit me at all.

  • Your last update of this was a bonus for tarkovirl handling mod, so my question is: is it much different? Ive already done some changes myself (to the previous iteration, I assume) and now I just try to judge what to do :)

    I know it isnt easy question, but hell, wont hurt to ask your opinion.


    Love the idea, and so far I like the preset :thumbup:

    • There are many apps used to compared two documents in-line, like WinMerge for example. Use one of those to compare the config files and see what exactly is different. Good luck

  • Appreciate the credit. Might add a note on my preset's page pointing here :)

    • No, I appreciate YOU doing all of the actual work to port it over from 3.9! And adding to it. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    • Glad it at least gave you some inspiration :thumbup: :thumbup:

  • Package file is missing. Will test the mod when its updated, thank you.

    • The mod should be put in your SAIN/presets folder.

  • is this mod for 3.11.3 ?

    • No, 3.10. Realism is still on 3.10.

  • I don't see 1.0 on GitHub. I am probably missing something.

    Never mind. I found the download raw button.

  • Hell yeah, gonna try this now
