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

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 4.1.0

Moderate Update

• Fixed a few cyclic depth errors on server start for those 20+ mod pack enthusiasts.
  More weapon mods should now be compatible...
  
• Updated a number of spawning issues around scav gear to more closely emulate live (CONFIRM 3M is finally fixed)
• Fixed a few errors around pmc plate loading that would cause lag at the start of raids.
  
• Made a few changes to around medkit spawning to make it more similar to live.

That is all for now.


Have fun

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 4.0.3

Compatibility Update

• Added new "forceCached" config option (set to false by default):
  This basically sets pmcs to use a hardcoded precached version of the mod to help compatibility for those non-technical folks that can't be bothered to cull their mod folder.
  TLDR: If you use a ton of weapon/mod/equipment mods, and you see errors after install set this to true. You won't get bots using custom items, but you can still use ALP.

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.

  Functionally you shouldn't see much change, but occasionally a lowby may use some gear they didn't previously have access to.

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 3.0.2

Minor Update

• Buffed base gear weighting for nonPmcBots.
  This should help with quest related items spawning more consistently (3m armor, toz shotguns, rashala's pistol, etc.).
  As bots level these items will slowly be used less as better gear weightings take over.
• Bumped base scav equipment chances slightly (chance of wearing armor/backpacks etc...)
• Increased muzzle device mod usage for PMC bots.

  Do you want the goons to start with scav gear and eventually use better stuff?
  
  This is all now possible with the new "nonPmcBotConfig.json"
  
  

• Added all backpacks to nonPmcBots equipment options
  
• Fixed facemasks being overly prioritized (this was preventing some helmet usage at high level)

• Added Experimental Level progression for ALL BOT TYPES
  • Scavs, Snipers, bosses, rogues, raiders, etc...

  • Basically, when you are low level, all enemies are more likely to use lower tier gear and ammo, and as you level, they will start using better gear.
  • EXAMPLE 1: You are level 1, and come across a rogue, good chances are they will not have good ammo in the gun they are spraying you with.

    That scav? Probably has buckshot, and is more likely to use shotguns.
  • EXAMPLE 2: You are level 45, you come across scavs now that have a higher chance of wearing armor, they are wearing ghzel on occasion, and you are coming across some with AP-M and BT ammo. They also wear helmets sometimes?
    Rogues, bosses, boss guards now usually have very good gear, and expect them to use high-tier ammo.
  • Highly configurable (see the botAmmoRandomness, botEquipmentRandomness, and botsToUpdate options at the bottom of the "advancedConfig")
  • THIS IS CURRENTLY EXPERIMENTAL AND OFF BY DEFAULT, TO TURN IT ON SET:
    enableNonPMCBotChanges: true
    in the config.json
    
• Fixed PMCs running out of ammo (they now have unlimited ammo).
• Fixed the customBlacklist not removing ammo from PMCs

ALP - Algorithmic Level Progression 2.1.1

The "I rebalanced everything" Update:

• Rebalanced a great number of things to work with the new randomization system.
  • Hats will be used less in general.
  • Helmets used more
  • Face coverings will also be used more regularly
  • Armor is now properly prioritized over most armor rigs
  • Better vest choices should now be made
• Slightly adjusted tier 2 and 3 bot levels so that mid-game is a bit more spread out.

The result of these changes should be that pmcs with more "complete" and logical kits at all levels.

Have fun!

• Fixed a number of issues with low capacity magazine usage that would lead to pmcs running out of ammo.
• Fixed night raid balance, particularly nerfed nvg use, namely night raids for labs/factory.
• Fixed a huge number of issues with "cursed" gun type spawning.
• Fixed an issue with high damage low pen bullets getting low ammo weightings.

The new randomness options:

    "randomness": {
"Holster": 0.3,
"Headwear": 0.1,
"FirstPrimaryWeapon": 0.4,
"Earpiece": 0.3,
"Backpack": 0.3,
"Eyewear": 0.2,
"TacticalVest": 0.1,
"ArmorVest": 0.1,
"FaceCover": 0.2
},

0 is meta, 1 is completely random, 2 will make pmcs prioritize the worst gear.

   Example:
Imagine a pmc can wear a usec hat, or a Ulach helmet, at 0, the weighting may look like this:

Hat > 5, Ulach > 150,

   Resulting in the pmc almost always choosing a ulach over a hat.

At 0.5, the top and bottom chances are smoothed around a median, like so:

Hat > 35, Ulach > 100,

   And at 1, all items within that category will have equal chances:

Hat > 54, Ulach > 54,

As always, have fun!

  This can be combined with the "equipmentRandomness" to create different levels of meta.
• The config option "equipmentRandomness" is now much stronger.
  Increase it to see dramatically less "meta" gear, more hats, more random stuff.
  Keep values between 0 - 100 for sensical gameplay.
• Fixed a number of issues around certain ammo being unlocked too early for bots.
• Fixed issues with g-36 variants not spawning with live-like sights.
• Fixed a number of issues with med kits
• Increased backup ammo in bot secure containers.
• Ensured bots have backup meds in their secure containers.
• New config value for Pettan "applyInternalPMCBlacklist"
  This is basically just to stop him bugging me about it.  

• About a hundred other things I've forgotten or don't care about enough to mention

Still to come: Re-introducing large magazines now that 3.7.0 handles magazine mixing so elegantly.

ENJOY!
