Those errors are usually caused by a bad item being added in somewhere. You should see if (A) the error occurs on a fresh character, (B) see if the error occurs if you remove this mod, and then (C) see if the error occurs if you remove ALL your OTHER mods (So this mod is the only one in your mods folder). Doing these three things should give you a better idea of the error's source: If it's a problem with your profile (If A fixes it), with my mod (If B fixes it but C does not), or with another mod adding a bad item or interacting with this mod in a weird way (Any other combination).

Version 1.16 for AKI 1.5.1 and 1.6.0

1.16:

• Added a new config editor (config editor.exe), to make navigating the basic config file easier and more convenient.
• Added a new config option to spawn all waves in a raid at the start of the raid.
• A few small miscellaneous tweaks to how the mod runs.

help me!

If Fin's AiTweaks mod is applied, the health value cannot be modified. Is there any solution??

There is, actually. -If you go into Aki_Data\Server\database\globals.json, and look for PlayerHealthFactors, any values you enter into the 'Maximum' settings will be applied as the new player defaults.

I'll add that information to the readme, too, since it probably should be in there.

Added a new option: Delete stash items on death.

If enabled, this option deletes a percentage of your stash (Configurable in the config) whenever you die.

It has an option to ignore money, and doesn't immediately delete containers with items in them. -However, if it selects a container with fewer items in it than it's slated to delete (IE: If you have 100 items, set the 'delete percent' to 10%, and have a container with nine items in it) it can delete the container and everything inside of it. If it selects an item that can stack (Bullets, money, etc.) it will search through all iterations of that item in your stash, and delete either one full stack's worth, or the same percentage you set in the config, whichever is higher. (IE: If you set it to 10%, and have 800 855A1 rounds, it would delete 80 of them. If you only have 100 rounds, it would delete 60.)

Version 1.15 for AKI 1.5.1 and (Probably) 1.6.0

• Improvements in limiting number of tactical devices on bots
  
  • I haven't seen any bugs in a half-dozen or so testing runs, but they could still be there.
• Option to limit number of primary weapon optics on bots
  
  • Slightly buggy, it sometimes still removes MPR45-mounted optics, which it isn't supposed to.
• Implemented advanced inventory config
  • Allows more detailed customization of medical loadouts via assiging the AI a 'budget' for each type of med
    • The system used is slightly complicated, but the print_out_medical_odds_on_startup option can be used to display the odds of each type of bot being generated with each type of med
• Allows setting of chance values for AI equipment
  • Chance to have a helmet, chance to have body armor, etc.
• Difficulty tweaks
  • aiAimSpeedMult and aiShotSpreadMult settings should both have more impact than they did before.
• Added an option to the config to 'weight' the AI towards or away from certain armor classes
  
  • Essentially increasing the odds the AI will get a certain class of armor, instead of it being completely random between all available classes
• Added "COD mode" silly option
  • 200HP for every body part, and be given a stim with a 24hr duration that heals you for 25HP/second and reduces all damage taken, except in the head, by 50%.
    
    • Should be given a new stim any time you end a raid or start the game and don't already have one in your inventory.
• Added an option for AIO users who have enabled armored rigs and armored vests to be used together
  • Prevents bots from spawning with both an armored rig and an armored vest when set to false
• Updates to the readme
  • There are still probably things missing. Feel free to leave a comment if you spot something important or confusing that's been left undocumented.

Fin's AI Tweaks (FAIT) 1.14

1.14

This is being released a little early, because I was dumb and managed to perma-delete every last one of my EFT backups. There won't be any progress, changes or bugfixes until AKI is synced with live again. Yay for AKI patcher \o/

This is probably compatible with AKI 1.6.0, but until someone else can confirm that for me I won't be updating the mod's tag.

• Ingame spawn frequency can now be set to values other than "As Online" without error
• scavsFight[BEAR/USEC]Bots is working again
• Small AI

• Ingame spawn frequency can now be set to values other than "As Online" without error
• scavsFight[BEAR/USEC]Bots is working again
• Small AI difficulty changes
  • lower difficulty AI settings should be a little bit more competant, without being too much more dangerous. Higher difficulties are untouched.
• Added the option to alter AI field of vision
• Added the option to disable deliberate AI headshots
  • You can still be hit in the head due to bullet scatter and recoil, but the AI won't purposefully aim at your head
• Added options to alter AI grenade throwing distances
• Added an option to give the AI infinite ammo
  • They still need to reload, and the player won't be able to loot any extra ammo off them (All the extra ammo is in their secure container)
• Added an option to give the AI (Nearly) infinite self-healing
  • There's still a delay before they heal, and this also doesn't give the player any extra things to loot
• Added an option to limit the number of tactical devices on AI gear (Finally)
  • This one might still be a little buggy
  • An option to limit optics is in the works, but at the moment there are massive problems that still need to be fixed.
• small miscellaneous bugfixes and optimizations

Quote from CyanideLev

Hey, very new to using SPT-AKI, so sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this question in;

Is this mod compatible with Bread and Butter? I think they both change AI behaviour, though it sounds like yours makes them more deadly because of their fire patterns while B&B gives them proper gear.

I haven't tried Bread and Butter myself, but it should be. -All the major features of my mod (Gear changes, spawn changes, and AI changes) can be completely disabled via the config, so you can pick and choose which parts you're using, if there is a conflict.

-And this is probably the sort of question you'd put in the comments section, but it really doesn't matter xD. People ask everything everywhere.

It seems that AKI has changed which files are referenced when it comes to prices. It's not a big change on my end, but it's late at the moment. I should have a patch up sometime tomorrow : )

Quote from UprootedSeeker

Is there a setting in your mod that causes any boss to spawn on any map because I was killed by Killa on Customs and would like to turn the settings off.

Not as far as I'm aware. -I just replied to your comment in the comments section, so you can find a little more information there.

Quote from Zipp

Hey Fin as always thank you for this mod. Unfortunely these crazy bot are still too hardcore for me, i really would like to have a casual experience when i'm playing to the game with some challenging moments. I already asked you, previously but do you think, it's possible to modify their rate of fire (of bots), i just need to reduced it by half maybe; that way i can stand a chance, when they're engaging first? Thanks in advance, i really miss the previous AKI versions when bots where stock-configured challenging.

Quote from Roach

Hey I may be able to help you,

- first off go in to the config file and edit the line: "semiAutoFireRateMult": (I have mine set to 1.5 at the minute and it seems to work pretty good but I tend to mix things up between 1.5-2.0, give this a try)

- next, a little further down in the config, if you don't want the AI just unloading lead towards you on full-auto look for "removeWeaponTypesSemiAutoPumpBolt":[ (and underneath put "auto" or "semi" but not both!)

- this one might make things easier or more enjoyable for you, at the top of the config look for these line -

- "aiAimSpeedMult": 1.3,

- "aiVisionSpeedMult": 1.3,

- "visibleDistanceMult": 0.5,

- "aiHearingMult": 0.3

(these are my custom settings, I personally think the AI are too quick at hearing and seeing things still trying to find that S W E E T spot)

a little tinkering with this mod and my game is pretty much like online, I have the AI difficulties set to 2,2,1.

Hope this helps you!

Pretty much what Roach said, though you might also want to look into changing aiShotSpreadMult. It won't alter how fast they fire, but it can make their shots a bit less likely to land (I don't remember if higher or lower is better off the top of my head, though, you'd have to experiment a bit). -And while you can't change their full-auto fire rate, if you want to make them less likely to fire full-auto you can do that with a small modification to mod.js.

Ctrl-f for either CHANCE_TO_CHANGE_TO_AUTOMATIC_FIRE_100 or BASE_AUTOMATIC_TIME (They're positioned right next to one another, so once you've found one you've found the other). You'll notice each one of those lines has a series of six numbers inside square brackets, these numbers are used to define the different difficulties. Each bot type uses one of those numbers depending on the difficulty setting, so for difficulties easy/medium/hard/impossible, scavs use 1/2/3/4, raiders use 2/3/4/5, and pmcs use 3/4/5/6. The [low/med/high]LevelAIDifficultyMod_Neg3_3 config entry can push these numbers up or down, so if that value is set to 2 for scavs, then scavs are now using 3/4/5/6.

Anyways, knowing that, you can change those two settings around in mod.js to change how long their full-auto bursts are, and how likely they are to full-auto in the first place.

That should be fixed in the latest version. -I accidentally snipped out a very very important piece of the code right before I zipped and uploaded it, but it's back as of 1.13.1, along with some other fixes to make it work with either 1.3.x or 1.4.x.

-Entering a negative value into the modFrequency0_2 config setting will now prevent the mod from altering the 'chance' values for AI loadouts. This is intended primarily for people who want to use other methods to modify these values.
---All bots will still have their chance to spawn with an armband increased to 100, no matter what modFrequency0_2 is set to.
-bot names entered into the config are no longer case sensitive.

• Added granular control of AI weapon selection via an advanced loadout file
  • The spawn frequency, mod quality, specific blacklisted or whitelisted mods, and which maps specific weapons are not allowed to spawn on can all be set via this file
    
    • Details for how this file functions are contained inside the file itself
  • I seriously recommend anyone using this file view it in Notepad++, or another similar program that can collapse categories, or you'll have an extremely difficult time navigating more than one or maybe two bots worth of weapon information
• Added boss spawn chance to the advanced loadout config
• Changed debug settings to make them more convenient
  • By default, debug data is now saved for all maps and bot types instead of only one at a time
• Changed the backpack size config entry to have settings for both min and max backpack size.
  • Setting the minimum value to a negative number will set the minimum to the size of whatever the smallest backpack in their default loadout is.
• Bugfixes
• Very small AI tweaks

Quote from MrBadass

Hey mate thanks for the reply, ok so i tested Customs and it seems fine, i think my issue is Woods and i repeated the above steps and this is what is displays:

"BossName": "bossBully",

"BossChance": 38,

"BossZone": "ZoneDormitory",

"BossPlayer": false,

"BossDifficult": "normal",

"BossEscortType": "followerBully",

"BossEscortDifficult": "normal",

"BossEscortAmount": "4",

"Time": 15

I haven't had a chance to test other boss maps as yet.

Thanks again!

I'll check out Woods in particular and see if I can find anything odd happening there on my end. -You can also set the mod up to give you a report on the Woods spawns by changing showBosses in the config to "woods". Then once you've loaded up a raid for woods, there'll be a file in donottouch/debug called woods_bosses.json that'll have an entry mentioning "bossKojaniy", which refers to shturman. The main thing to look for are abnormal spawn times or BossChance values.

Quote from eastwind

Hey, Fin. Is there some ways to make sure that pmc always born with armor vests?

and why the pmc don't spawn until i move severa paces

You can change the chance values in the AI files, and set ArmorVest to 100. And they spawn with a slight delay, is why.

Quote from Roach

So is there a way for the same faction as you to NOT engage you but engage everyone else?

Quote from eastwind

hey, sir. I found that there's no config of sameFactionPMCsShootPlayerOnSight anymore in the latest edition.

and the pmc in the same faction as me still engage me.

even after i edit the mod.js, turning line 1542 to as below

let PMCROE = "false"//config.aiChanges.sameFactionPMCsShootPlayerOnSight_true_false_Default //Rules of Engagement

//OKAY, I found it is due to the spawn pmc as boss option

Display More

I had an option for that in the config a month and a half or so ago, but it never worked consistently so I ended up removing it. As eastwind has discovered, its fragments live on inside mod.js, and it's possible to re-enable with a few changed lines and by adding the relevant config option back in, but.. Yeah. Personally, I wasn't able to get it working consistently.

From one of the mod's comments I replied to, on the main, uh.. Comment page:

Quote

If you want to play around with what I had setup before, your starting spot in the mod would be:

let PMCROE = "Default"//config.aiChanges.sameFactionPMCsShootPlayerOnSight_true_false_Default

Change that to:

let PMCROE = config.aiChanges.sameFactionPMCsShootPlayerOnSight_true_false_Default

Add sameFactionPMCsShootPlayerOnSight_true_false_Default under the aiChanges section of the config, and then you could start messing around.

Quote from eastwind

by the way, how can i equip pmc with mod gears and weapons correctly?

should i add their parent id directly into the bot_inventories folder

//I've already got it. Your mod is really fascinating!

And I'm glad you find it interesting xD. -It's a bit of a tangled web, I'm afraid, but so far it works.. Well enough.

Quote from nonametarkov

Hi there. I'm a noob to all this. I just installed everything last week and started modding away, first this mod is great. I have a, probably, noob question though. All of a sudden I'm not taking any damage from others. My armor will deplete, i can take fall damage, but I can just stand in front of scavs blasting away at me and I shake and get the concussion vision, but I never take any damage. What have I done?!?

I'm afraid I have no idea, I've never seen anything like that.

Quote from eastwind

Sorry, but there's a new error

[ERROR] bot bossTest does not have properly defined chance values.

[ERROR] bot followerTest does not have properly defined chance values.

That means that some other mod (Unless you've gone in to those files yourself and done something manually) has modified those files in a way that removes their chance values. -It shouldn't affect your gameplay unless some mod is also trying to spawn those bot types, though.

Quote from MrBadass

Hey sorry I am a bit of a noob here but after installing this mod i no longer see Bosses every raid. I have this option turned on in Ereshkigal's All in One Mod and prior to installing this mod i saw them every raid. Is it possible i need to tweak a setting in your mod and if so can you point me in the right direction please? I am loving the mod tho!

Load into a raid on Customs, and then go into donottouch/debug/bigmap_bosses.json and look for the entry that mentions bossBully. -Is it present, and if so, what are its BossChance, BossZone and Time settings? That should tell me a little more about what's happening.

Quote from eastwind

Sorry, by only doing this doesn't it work

1.12.3.2 should have fixed the issue. It needed something just a touch more complex than an extra if statement, as it turned out.

Bloody Javascript.

That looks like something is adding a type of bot that doesn't have an equipment entry, assuming you're using 1.12.3.1.

I can't be certain this will fix it, but if you go into mod.js and ctrl-f for the line:

let a = botTypes[i].chances.equipment

and then add this right under it:

if (a)

That should fix the issue. If it doesn't, setting factionIdentifiers to false will definetely solve it, but will also remove AI armbands.

Hello,
I am having some issue with the mod, i put difficulty multiplier on 0 and tweak the aim speed multiplier and shot spray value to 1. But i am always getting one tap top of head by the AI first bullet playing on Easy difficulty.
Is there a way to make them like actually bot instead of aimbot god ? a way to turn down the difficulty ? i am searching but can't find anything.

The easiest way would be to lower the aiShotSpreadMult below one (those multipliers accept decimal values), or raise the aiRecoilMult above one, both should have the effect of making your bots less accurate.

I've been fiddling around with them a bit myself; in the latest version I've lowered the default aiShotSpreadMult to 0.6, and raised aiRecoilMult to 1.2, and that seemed to be a better 'default' state.

Version 1.12 for AKI 1.1.0 (And probably 1.2.0)

• Added granular spawn controls via an advanced spawn config file
  • It is not necessary to use this file, and it is disabled by default.
  • Explanations of how it works can be found inside the file itself
  • It's not as complicated as it seems, but I don't have any plans to make it more user-friendly. It exists purely for those who want to be highly specific with how their bots spawn.
  • It is recommended that you use Notepad++ to view this file. I've done my best to use tabs to keep everything neat and orderly, but I can't guarantee that other programs will display it appropriately.
• To clarify functions, useNewSpawnSystem has been broken up into two options, both disabled by default
  • spawnPMCsAsBosses enables the spawning of PMCs via the boss entry, instead of the regular wave entry. This seems to help them work as a unit.
  • breakUpSpawnWaves contains the functions that broke up spawn waves to improve control over the exact number of bots that spawn
• More difficulty changes
  • Difficulty feels like it's in a good spot again, but there are still some tweaks to be done for higher difficulties
