    Realistic Lighting for Tarkov 2.0.1
    Changes in Version 2.0.1:
    • Improved Visuals & Contrast: Black levels across all maps have been lowered, which boosts contrast, especially in interior spaces. This makes dark areas look deeper and less washed out.
    • Richer Colors: Saturation and vibrance have been increased to give the game a less bleak look. Color shading is more life-like.
    • Enhanced Visibility: Fog levels on most maps have been adjusted for better visibility, making it easier to see and navigate. More importantly, the fog is natural

    For pmcs only no scavs you'd have to edit the patterns. It isn't hard at all.

    Open the pattern is notepad or vscodium and ctrl+f 'scavs' go to that section and change the spawn numbers to zeroes.


    Alternatively you could do what you suggested, turn all the presets to zero and leave More PMCs at its number currently. Or 1 will suffice.


    Note:More PMCs does spawn scavs just not very many, less than 10 in the whole match.



    The numbers are weights. Presets with a 1 (one) will get rolled 5 times less frequent than the presets weighted to 5 (five)




    I'm at my day job for a cpl more hours, I can make a no scavs preset pretty quickly and get it uploaded.

  • POOP Variety

    yes. this is what you do.


    go to zPOOP/config/config.json and open this file.


    use notepad++ or vscodium


            "highLevelAIDifficultyMod_Neg3_3": 2.25,


    look for this line it should be line 56.


    lower that to 0.5 or 1.

    do a test raid

    if the bosses are too easy, raise it by 0.5 until you find the difficulty youre looking for.


    dont forget to save the file.

    Want a spawn mod that actually has it ALL? Raiders in D2? Rogues actually AT the treatment zone? Cultists during the day? Scavs randomly show up on a LABS raid? Enjoy a comprehensive spawn mod that covers everything.
