SPT Realism Mod

Quote from Zarif

Hi Fontaine, love your mod and all the hard work you put in to making spt feel more immersive. I have a bug that happens rarely with recoil, where the camera recoil looks like its 10x normal. Here is a video I just took showing what it looks like.

I figure it comes from realism since you overhauled the recoil mechanics. Any thoughts on what causes this? I wish I knew exactly how to reproduce it but it only seems to happen randomly, not sure the trigger. I had this bug on the 3.4.1 aki version with your 0.6.4 realism version too, so it's not necessarily a new thing.

People on the discord thought it may be greg's uniform aim but it still happens after disabling that. I showed this video on the discord (video after disabling greg's) and they said it looks like aim punch from being shot/suppressed. Thanks!

After playing a little bit more in that raid, the recoil bug seems to have a higher chance of happening if I get shot.

Uninstall all other mods, reinstall SPT, reinstall realism completely, and delete reaism's config in bepinex/configs

I noticed that on Labs, no PMC bots are spawning. Is this intentional?
Got no other spawn-related mods running.

There should be a low chance of them spawning IIRC. It's a low chance because in SPT, PMCs just replace scavs and raider, so you'd end up with Raiders and PMCs wiping each other out pretty quick. Something I'll have to look into improving in the future.

I loved your mod when I was playing with 3.4.x versions. Since it's not compatible with the latest version of the SPT (3.5.4), I want to ask a question if you could answer.

Would it work if I use just the AI behavior of your mod with 3.5.4? Thanks in advance!

It's the AI and Airdrops part that isn't working on 3.5.4

Quote from Frostyfoxy

Me and my friend keep having a weird issue with ballistics. Wearing armor that's classified as class 10 in game, and occasionally just get one tapped straight though the armor with random shitty cartridges, for example basic .366 TKM, or one time even got one tapped with a 9x19 PSO gzh.
Armor is brand new, never been touched.

Even tried modifying the Altyn face shield to be the equivalent of GOST 6 / XSAPI, got hit with a single 5.56 RRLP, and died instantly.
Not really sure whats happening. just seems inconsistent. Also had a few occasions with hitting an unarmored Scav in the chest with .338LM AP, and doing 0 damage. (have hitmarkers so I can see what I hit/how much damage I've delt)

Let me know if there is anything I can do to try to gather more info for you.

Edit: thread post #666, epic lmao

Nothing I could have done with armor or ammo stats could make PSO randomly pen full durability class 10, it's not something I myself have ever noticed but I've seen people claim such things even in live with Scavs randomly bypassing armor (as well as the whole double bullet bug). Maybe in EFT there's a specific set of circumstances that can cause such a bug, maybe the hitmarker mod itself is interfering with ballistics changes and causing issues, who knows. It won't matter much in the next version because there will be plate zones so get used to it

SPT Realism Mod v0.7.9 for SPT AKI 3.5.5

NOT compatible with earlier versions of SPT

Update to 3.5.5 with new features such as armor and body hit zones, and bots being able to use stances. You know the drill, there may be unforeseen issues that will get patched in hotfixes.

YOU MUST HAVE THE "Realism" FOLDER WITH THE SOUND FILES IN YOUT BEPINEX/PLUGINS FOLDER OTHERWISE THE MOD WILL CRASH!

Fixes:

SPT Realism Mod v0.7.9 for SPT AKI 3.5.5

NOT compatible with earlier versions of SPT

Update to 3.5.5 with new features such as armor and body hit zones, and bots being able to use stances. You know the drill, there may be unforeseen issues that will get patched in hotfixes.

Fixes:

• Fixed disabling recoil climb breaking stances.
• Fixed using toggling faceshields not resetting aim sensitivity.
• Fixed active aim not being toggleable with faceshields.
• Fixed firemode change animation playing while sprinting from high ready.
• Fixed player scavs and bots not spawning with ammo or only one round in their magazines.
• Fixed bot cap changes not applying.
• Fixed there being too much arm stamina drain if certain options were disabled.
• Fixed chance of double Goons on night Factory and no Goons on day Factory.
• Fixed inappropriate weapons spawning on PMCs in CQB.
• Fixed "Revert Med Changes" not removing Tier 2 and 3 medkits.
• Fixed NVGs not blocking ADS with optics if faceshield option was disabled.
• Fixed issues with time of day logic that determined when bots use their flashlights and when they used long range vs. short range weapons.

Changes:

• Config: added config options related to the new hit zones and audio. Added options for 3rd person stance position and rotation and speed. Added config option for convergence modifier for semi and full auto.

• Armor Hit Zones: now only where the armor plates would be will protect the wearer, anywhere else counts as not hitting armor. Some armor only has plates protecting front and rear, some have side plates that protect *some* of the sides of the torso. Some armor has "secondary armor" which is of a lower level than the stated rating/class, equivelent of level 5 armor and so is only able to stop pistol and shotgun rounds. This secondary armor can protect the stomach/groin, neck and upper arms depending on the armor. As in previous versions, the lower arms are not protected by arm armor. The new armor zones are listed in the stat screen of armor like in the base game. Due to these changes the overall "time to kill" is a lot lower as armor no longer acts like a protective bubble.
• Armor Hit Audio: added additional hit sounds for the armor and body hit zones. This helps differentiate armor from body hits and makes landing hits more satisfying. The sounds are taken from the game itself in most cases. The sounds can be disabled. Note: the audio volume was set using Binaural Audio and may be too loud if it's disabled, but you can adjust the volume in the config.
• Body Hit Zones: new body hit zones have been added which modify the amount of damage dealt and bleeding chance. The arms now consist of upper and forearms. Legs now consist of thighs and calfs. The upper part of the limb does extra damage and bleed chance and the lower part does reduced. The neck now is an instant kill like the head (in umodded EFT, it counts as chest hits and does normal chest damage). There is also now a heart (instant kill) and spine hit zone (80 extra damage). The body is divided into A, D and C zones like an ISPCC target. D does reduced damage, C does normal damage, A does extra damage. These changes make shot placement a lot more important. The "time to kill" is now a lot lower if you consistently land hits in the A Zone or neck, thighs etc. or a low higher if you hit the edges of the target.
• Arm Penetration Fix: made arms have much lower "armor" effect, meaning rounds now have an easier time penetrating arms and their penetration after going through them is reduced by a lot less. Effectively arms tank less rounds that would otherwise hit the chest (optional).
• Ballistics: durability loss and blunt damage calculations have been reworked to be balanced around the new armor hit zones. In general, armor durability loss scales better across different calibers/rounds. Frangible ammo has massively reduced armor damage. Tweaked armor stats with all the changes in mind. Buffed slug damage. Corrected shotgun pellet counts: pellet count now ranges from 8 up to 27 and damage is scaled correctly to the amount of pellets. Upped spall reduction on western armor.
• Stances: stances now work in 3rd person so that you can use them with a 3rd person mod or to take screenshots. Low ready now has faster arm stam regen than high ready. Tweaked the stance animations a bit. Bots now also will use all the stances depending on their faction and various conditions (Scavs won't use high ready, active aiming or short stocking for example).
• Sway: reduced sway overall slightly, reduced it a bit more for pistols and increased pistol ADS walk speed.
• New Attachment Stat: added "Flatness" stat to attachments. This changes the convergene/autocompensation of weapons. This is basically how snappy the gun is. Muzzle attachments have been rebalanced with this stat in mind and they reduce recoil by a lot more on average.
• Stats UI: added noise reduction stat to headsets so you can tell which have better hearing protection. Changed how the game displays durability burn and malfunction chance stats for ammo to accurately reflect the changes made to malfunctions by the mod. Added pellet count stat to ammo. Added the shotgun dispersion stat to the UI for barrels (pellet spread).
• Bots: added labs keys to Goons and USEC. Made USEC slightly more likely to have faceshields on CQB maps. Upped boss spawn chances.
• More Custom Weapons: added a tuned version of the Saiga 12k and the Benelli M3 to Mechanic, and a full auto VPO-209 to Skier.
• Weapons and Attachments: removed the malfunction mechanics surrounding the 260mm AR15 barrel. Instead it has low malf chance but high recoil by default. There is now an alternative version of it sold by Mechanic which has low recoil but high malf chance. UMP recoil got nerfed.
• Various other tweaks to weapon, attachment and armor stats.

YOU MUST HAVE THE "Realism" FOLDER WITH THE SOUND FILES IN YOUT BEPINEX/PLUGINS FOLDER OTHERWISE THE MOD WILL CRASH!

Fixes:

• Fixed headset noise reduction stat not displaying.
• Fixed all weapons having the same ADS speed and injury, stamina and sight/mod speed not having an effect.
• Fixed Ragman's Wendy helmet setup with NVG not showing up in his assort.
• Fixed trader prices not matching between trader screen and flea offer if tiered flea is disabled.
• Fixed ADAR's barrel having a very high MOA.

Changes:

• Config: added option to empty PMC's bags for use with the Looting Bots mod, so that hopefully the loot you find on them is what they found in raid.
• Ragdoll Fix: first attempt at fixing ragdolls from randomly flying into the air. It's hard to prove/test that it's fixed, so please report it if you see it happen. Might conflict with Visceral Bodies so there's a config option to disable it.
• Ballistics: significantly reduced armor durability loss and blunt damage to be more realistic and to balance better with there now being gaps in armor. Increased spalling damage significantly. Reduced the spall damage reduction from neck armor. Reduced arm and leg overdamage. Buffed 4.6 and 5.7 damage. Rebalanced helmets, overall they have lower blunt damage reduction.
• Stances and Related: increases the impact of injury on ADS and stance speed. Made arm injury affect stamina regen and recovery rates.
• Reload: reduced the impact of reload skill on reload speed. Increased the reload speed penalty from rigs that have one.

Moved from comment section to here because I can't read

Weird little bug I noticed, specifically when in high or low ready, but whenever there's a timer (either extraction or checking the remaining raid time) the screen seems to stutter, which then causes the arms in high or low position to shake. Sometimes it lasts past that but sometimes it goes away, usually goes away after the position is changed, as long as the timer still isn't there. Not sure if that's a realism issue or my PC just being a potato. I think they might have changed some of the graphical settings in this latest tarkov patch that 3.5.5 is based on...

If your PC stutters (frame time spike) then you will see the shake. Not sure why your PC is stuttering when checking raid time but is what it is

Quote from Cypher27

Hey Fontaine, want to begin with saying you've made an incredible mod and I really appreciate the changes it brings to Tarkov.

But I have been having a weird issue where my game from time to time will just close randomly. As if I just ALT F4'd. It happens about every 30-45 minutes and both in raid or in the menu. Couldn't Identify the issue in the logs. I did run with other mods but removed them all except this one and the game still crashes. Game doesn't crash at all vanilla with no mods. Same Profile ported over to Vanilla with no crashes so its not an issue with the save or profile. Some times I can run SPT for a couple hours straight with your mod, sometimes it crashes within 10 minutes of starting the game. Also have task manager up and nothing was too intensive for my CPU, RAM, or GPU. And yes, I installed the mod correctly as everything was working beautifully. Just sucks having so many raids essentially ALT F4 on their own, wasting all that time and never keeping anything because it just crashes.

Sorry to hear that but I'm not sure how the mod can cause this. Try checking the BepInEx/LogOutput.log for errors.

Quote from rrrrrrrrr

Uhh..I know there was the body region change, but I started a new usec run(to see the changes from the start instead of reusing my old profile) and scav's are tanking 5.25 buckshot 3 times to the unarmored face within 10 feet and stuff like makarov's taking over 8 shots to the face :hardthink: I'm using nothing but stuff like waypoint mod and a looting bots.

It must have been something in the most recent patch, as i used 0.7.9 a bit with my older profile and the bots being super tanky like they are now

Well it's very obviously a bug, and one that I haven't encountered in any testing. Try reinstalling the mod cleanly (including the config file in the BepInEx/config folder) and removing all other mods, use default config options and test. If everything is normal then do your usual config changes one by one that are related to ballistics, health and bots and let me know which one causes it if any. Without reproducible steps I can't do anything.

Quote from Sprout1796

I've noticed weird behavior with "Adjust prices" setting turned on in config. So right now I can see new (higher) prices for ammo only in trader interface

but once I "filter by item" I can see and buy with old prices in flea market interface.

The same goes with for example helmets, low (old) prices in trader menu and high in flea market.

I'll attach my config settings below, any idea why it happens?

Thanks I'll look into it. I think the issue is that either Tiered Flea or the dynamic trader options have to be enabled for flea prices to be refreshed.

Quote from Sprout1796

Yes, indeed. Just checked with Tiered Flea enabled and now both prices are modified as intended. Maybe there's a way to refresh prices without it though 🤔

Thanks for great mod and for your help

No worries. I think I might have found a fix but will need more testing
