Balanced Overhaul Of Bullet Spawns (BOOBS)

All ammo types spawn as loose loot, balanced by caliber and tier!

WHAT IT DO:

Adds cardboard ammo boxes for all rounds in the game that were missing them (most of them) and then rebalances the loose loot for each map to give a good variety of all ammos, balanced by caliber and also by tier. (it will also spawn UGL rounds, grenades, and flares rarely)

Config stuff:

If you have Realism installed with his ballistics overhaul toggled on, I recommend setting "spt_realism_ammo_compat" to true in the config.json file to make the ammo weights adjust for Fontaine's ammo balancing.

I have already set up a decent set of weight multipliers, but if you want to mess with them yourself, you can do so in BOOBS/config/configs/weights.json (or the realism equivalents if that setting is set to true). Know that the weighting of each caliber will equalize, meaning if all caliber multipliers are set to 1 you will get an even mix of all calibers, and then the tier weights will kick in to determine which round in each caliber you see spawn more often. Huzzah for fancy math (thanks ChatGPT)

Add the parent id's of items to the config.json spawnpoint_item_type_blacklist array to stop BOOBS from overwriting spawn points that contain any items of those types.

To install:

-Put BOOBS folder in user/mods

Planned Features:
-Different weightings per map

-Different weightings for hotzones (like Kiba, etc)

-Custom assets/ retextures for the ammo boxes to make it easier to differentiate between ammos

HUGE thanks to those who tested this mod for me!

Balanced Overhaul Of Bullet Spawns (BOOBS) 1.1.0

This update adds ammos added with Streets expansion, does a LOT of backend code cleanup, and adds a blacklisted item type feature.

Any spawn points containing one or more items with parent ids present in the config.json spawnpoint_item_type_blacklist array will be skipped when loose loot is edited. This is to hopefully keep the mod from overwriting spawn points like Customs giving tree, various marked rooms, etc. that can spawn many item types and not JUST ammo.

If you find any spots that were…

If you find any spots that were previously spawning high value loot but now only spawn ammo boxes, please let me know so I can try and blacklist those spawn points.

Balanced Overhaul Of Bullet Spawns (BOOBS) 1.1.1

Math is hard and my brain hurts.

1. Hopefully fixed errors that would happen occasionally upon loading a raid. These were caused by item spawn weights being set to 0, I made their minimum = 1.
2. Fixed math error causing empty categories to still receive point allotments. Now if a category is empty, it's weight setting is set to 0, meaning the other categories will receive more points to compensate for the empty one. See the end of this changelog for a math example if you care (I have to write this

See the end of this changelog for a math example if you care (I have to write this garbage somewhere or I'll forget).
3. Removed ammo box disable feature as it really isn't needed.

Dumb math example:

Total allotted points for all tiers = 100

Tier 1 weight = 1

Tier 2 weight = 1

Tier 1 has 2 ammos in it.

Tier 2 has 0 ammos in it.

BEFORE:

Tier 1 receives 50 points.

Tier 2 receives 50 points.

Both tier 1 ammos would receive 25 points.

Tier 2 would has no ammos to apply its 50 points to, so they are lost.

Because Tier 2 doesn't have any ammos in it, the total of all the ammos in the tier is only 50 instead of the total 100 points we gave it.

NOW:

Tier 2's weight is adjusted dynamically to 0 because it was detected that it contained 0 ammos.

Tier 1 receives 100 points.

Tier 2 receives 0 points.

Both tier 1 ammos would receive 50 points.

All ammos correctly add up to 100.
