ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 5.2.0

The "REVERT!" update

• Reverted a few changes to pmc types that was likely causing errors for those using any modded weapons/ammo.
• Removed a LOT of items from PMCS secure containers to reduce data bloat.

That's all for now, HIGHLY recommend update if on versions 5.1.X, previous versions contained a bug.

MOAR - Ultra lite spawn mod 2.0.1

Minor update

• Adds pmc/scav difficulty setting (0 - 1.5, defaults 0.3/0.5)
  These affect the bots spawned difficulty: easy,medium,hard,impossible.
  Similar to SWAGs setting of the same name.
  
• Adjusted waves for all maps, waves should be a lot more consistent in general.
  Factory should be less of a gong-show.
• Fixed spawning issue where pmcs would spawn on rooftops in streets of tarkov.

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 5.1.0

Update to version 3.9.4!

• Added "Ammo" randomness option in the "randomness" config.
• Updated a few cursed scopes, should see far less scope mounts without primary scopes now.
• Added new values for scav loot in the NonPmcBotConfig:
  • percentageOfKeysInSpawnPool
    This is the size of the key pool that Scavs have access to (randomized on game start)
    I'd recommend leaving this alone
    
    
  • scavLootBlacklist
    
    Add ids of items you'd like scavs NOT to have, does not effect weapons

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 5.0.0

Major release - Alp Recombobulated

• Added FULL LOAD ORDER SUPPORT!
  ALP now runs after DB Load, like most server mods; this means you can now use the load order.json to resolve many issues previously seen.
  Simply place mods you suspect are conflicting AFTER ALP in the load order.json.
  This includes custom traders that may have previously been incompatible with ALP!
  To test newly added mod compatibility one can now simply move custom weapon/equipment mods BEFORE ALP And test.**
  ** I do not guarantee

  ** I do not guarantee compatibility with any custom weapon/equipment mods, it's up to you debug issues yourself!
  

• The quest to rid ALP of cursed guns continues...
  - Fixed a number of issues with scopes not spawning on higher tier 30/34mm scope mounts
  - Removed a few strange/ugly scope mounts (Hydra Mounts)
  
• Scav loot is now configurable
  - Added all useful keys to loot pool (nonPmcBotConfig > addRandomizedKeysToScavs to disable)
  - Added method to increase the weighting difference between good/bad loot (nonPmcBotConfig > lootDisparityMultiplier)
  - Added the ability to add item ids to the scav loot pool (nonPmcBotConfig > additionalScavLoot)
  Any added items will be automatically weighted for balance.
  
  
• Boring stuff
  - Massive code refactor
  - Added Error handling
  - Added automated use of "forceCached" if ALP detects bad items or other errors.
  - A ton of small balance changes
  
• ALP now uses the standard USER > MODS > AlgorithmicLevelProgression folder structure.
  REMEMBER TO DELETE THE OLD FOLDER IF PRESENT WHEN INSTALLING!
  Old folder name: DewardianDev-AlgorithmicLevelProgression
  New folder name: AlgorithmicLevelProgression
  

That's all for now!

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 4.2.1

Major Update (3.8.3)

• Fixed med spawns, they were broken for 3.8.0

• Automated Looting bots detection, no config option needed anymore.
• Ammo tweaked heavily
• Added "higherTierAmmoChance": 0.3, new config option to tweak how often a lower tier bot will receive the next tier ups ammo. (values are 0.1 - 0.99)
  This dramatically helps the game feel more live like.
• Made guns more meta as pmcs level.
• Set PMC loot to be largely determined by SPT, only quantity (not quality) scales with ALP.

Enjoy

• Made a few changes to around medkit spawning to make it more similar to live.

That is all for now.

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 4.0.1

Minor Update

• Fixed too many stims spawning on pmcs, also balanced their spawning so rare ones spawn less often.
• Updated scav equipment balance a bit
• Added new "strictEquipmentTiering" option to the config, this basically makes it so that bots will not spawn with items beyond their tier.
  In the past, ALP would have this on by default, meaning that a tier 1 bot would have no chance to have killa armor or an ash12.
  Turning this off now (by default) allows for such random occurrences to happen.
