MOAR + Bagels - Ultra lite spawn mod 1.2.5

Major Experimental Update (Need feedback on pmc/scav balance)

• Changed how zones are attributed to different bot types (scavs/pmcs).
• Usec/Bear will now spawn in separate zones, as not to kill each other as often before the player can interact with them.
• Scavs will not initially spawn in the same zones as PMC's in general
• Scavs will no longer have a chance of spawning in boss specific spawn zones (IE rogues).

• Scavs will not initially spawn in the same zones as PMC's in general
• Scavs will no longer have a change of spawning in boss specific spawn zones.
• Due to changes, groups (small chance) of both PMC's/Scavs spawn more often.
• Config updated to reflect "Online" amounts of pmcs/scavs, BE CAREFUL WITH OLD VALUES FOR defaultScavWaveMultiplier and defaultPmcWaveMultiplier
• Lowered variance in quantities of bots due to random math, quantities should field much more consistent once set.

Config Change

• bossOpenZoneBossChanceBuff Renamed: mainBossChanceBuff

  
  

  This can now be set weather bossOpenZones is enabled or not.

• defaultScavWaveMultiplier and defaultPmcWaveMultiplier have had their values tweaked, try setting them to 1 (or using the new config) to get a feel before changing them.

Bug fixes:

• Major bug fix that was preventing spawning pmcs on Streets of tarkov now resolved.

Bug Fixes:

• A number of bug fixes around how bosses spawn, they should be a lot more consistent now.
• Fixed a semi-major bug around maxBots for pmcs limiting pmc spawning as well as map based limits on scav maxBot numbers.
• Improved debug output to give a better sense what is currently active.

Yeah that's just a result of the game being itself unfortunately. The no no zone works wonders for that.

Currently setting the wave ratio to 0.9 is your best bet. Trust me, you don't want it faster than that. Your computer will freeze.

Quote from Mark1502

I have a question in your Example config for maps on "factoryDay" and "factoryNight" the "maxBotCap" is set to 1 does that mean that only max 1 bot can spawn on the whole map until he dies for example or what does the maxBotCap mean?

Because on other maps it is set way higher.

Oh yeah lol. I was testing something and must have copied that over.

You should probably increase that if bringing those values over to the main config.

MOAR + Bagels - Ultra lite spawn mod 1.2.2

The "Quinnemineminem"s request Update...
You're welcome yah dirty animal.


Boss Spawning/Config Behaviour Change:

• The "bossInvasion" now contains only foreign bosses in the invasion group. Leaving all original bosses untouched.
• One can now have bossOpenZones off, and bossInvasion on, so that only invading bosses will spawn everywhere.
• This also allows separate spawnChance control with the invading bosses via the bossInvasionSpawnOverride and original bosses via mapSettings bossChances.

Enjoy!

MOAR + Bagels - Ultra lite spawn mod 1.2.0

Config Change

• Added sniper difficulty settings that work the same as the pmc/scav difficulty settings:
  
  "sniperDifficulty": 1,
  
  The current setting of 1 means you will have around 50% normal, 30% hard, 20% Impossible snipers.
  Feel free to lower/higher it if you'd prefer.
• "bossInvasionSpawnOverride" can now be set to 0 to turn off.
  
  

Bug fixes:

• Major bug fix that was effecting all spawning limits, namely marksman/rogue/raider spawning.
  All of these bot types shouldn't have issues spawning again.

  I find this difficulty most interesting, but do feel free to lower/higher it if you'd prefer.

  All of these bot types shouldn't have issues spawning again.
  
• Major bug fix around setting BossChance and the bossInvasionSpawnOverride being applied when invasions weren't active.
  All should be well now in the bossSpawn setting department.
  
  

A NOTE ON RAIDER/ROGUE SPAWNING CHANCE:
This has been requested a lot.

IF you want to adjust the VANILLA raiders/rogues spawn chance.
Add the following to the config.json "defaultBossSettings" for any map that has either raiders or rogues:

For rogues add this:

        "exUsec": {
          "BossChance": 100
},

For raiders add this:

        "pmcBot": {
          "BossChance": 100
}

Okay I've nailed down what was causing a lot of issues around spawn limits.

Working on that now.

Thanks for the well written response, I went back and looked at the difference between 1.1.2 and now and the code is largely that same with a few exceptions that wouldn't appear to make any kind of difference..

YET, I reverted the section of code surrounding snipers back to 1.1.2 and voila, they have returned.

... I'm learning more now, but the only thing I can think is that I was touching the difficulty settings of marksman?

If I set difficulties other than vanilla it appears it borks their spawns?
I'm quite confused there.

Yup, that was the cause.

I've fixing that variables logic now. It was applying whether or not bossInvasion was turned on.
That will be fixed in the latest patch.

Right now I'm trying to figure out why I don't have any snipers.

Cough

Quote from LucrativeHands

Since downloading version 1.1.4 I've completely stopped seeing bosses. I decided to set reshala's spawn chance to 99 and ran a few raids to see if I could find him in his spawns but he never appeared (bossOpenZones is set to false). If the value is indeed working I suspect the spawns are probably being eaten up by other spawns? I've attached my config settings as a text file if you'd like to take a look.

config.txt

I'm investigating now. I think something with a recent update either my mod or maybe others (SVM) has stopped sniper spawning from working as well.

Ill look into bosses too.

MOAR + Bagels - Ultra lite spawn mod 1.1.3

Config Changes

• Added two mapSetting configs that control special POI spawns:
  
  "scavSpecialZones": [
          "ZoneDormitory"
  ],
     "pmcSpecialZones": [
          "ZoneDormitory"
  ],
  
  A preset similar to vanilla is included with the default configs.
  Basically these values guarantee at least one wave at some point during the map at these locations.
  These waves will also have +1 allowable bot chance.
  Keep the "maxBotPerZone" in mind when playing with these if you are wanting massive gunfights.

  Though in my testing that value isn't a strict rule, I'm not sure how it's counted.
  Yes repeating these values, adds more waves, so [ "ZoneDormitory", "ZoneDormitory","ZoneDormitory" ] will work, but if the zone is already saturated, the wave will simply not spawn any further bots, so don't go too ham here.
  
  How do I add my own???
  Easy, here's a map of the zones.
  And, here's a List of the zoneNames for each map to add to your config
  
  
  

Difficulty balance improvements

• The following settings now work as intended, and should result in a much more familiar feel.
  
    "scavDifficulty": 0.5,
    "pmcDifficulty": 0.5,
  
  Basically there was a bug previously that made this difficulty scale terribly.
  How it now works...
  
  Setting 0: Will get you 60% easy bots
  Setting 0.5: Will get you 90% medium bots << this is recommended for POOP
  Setting 1: Will get you a mix of 45% medium, 35% hard bots, 20% impossible
  Setting 2>: All Impossible (just for you sociopaths, )

Bug fixes:

• Small bug fix around "smarterPmcs": true, where pmcs would spawn with rogue brains and not shoot usec players at distance.
• Changed a setting around starting time that should allow waves to start a bit earlier instead of having the 20~ second lull at the beginning of some maps.

that's kind of why it's a semihidden variable. It's configurable but hard to explain.

It is the PMC wave count before multiplier

Bot is pmc or scav.
Scav spawns are dictated by waves.

Pmcs are dictated by number.
