PMC Terminators - a custom SAIN preset 1.1.0

Please install the latest version of SAIN (2.1.7+)


Changes
- updated to support SAIN 2.1.7
- EFT Scatter Multiplier decreased for all PMCs 1.0 > 0.7
- All talk patching is now disabled for all bots. In vanilla SPT, by default Hard and Impossible PMC bots have talking disabled. So intended behavior is vanilla bot talking with quiet PMCs (Hard/Impossible)

Friendly reminder to be sure to select the preset from the SAIN GUI (F6) and use Hard or Impossible PMCs.

PMC Terminators - a custom SAIN preset

If default SAIN is too hard for you then turn away. PMCs should always be a threat - fast, aggressive and accurate. This preset aims to provide a more challenging SAIN experience.

SAIN - Solarint's AI Modifications - Full AI Combat System Replacement

Bots that don't suck.

What is This?

PMC Terminators is a SAIN preset that does a number of things:

- PMCs are more difficult

- Raiders, Rogues are slightly more difficult (more types to come)

- SCAVs are tuned down slightly (mostly vanilla unless in very close quarters)

- Personality assignments based on PMC level and gear

Specifically, some of the major tweaks include:

PMCs

- CQB distance

- aggression, reaction speed and distance, lose aim speed and more

- recoil and aim kick

- flashlight and NVG usage and visibility

- Personality assignment changes

- higher level PMCs are mostly Gigachad, Chad or Normal

- Gigachad and Chad personalities are only assigned to PMCs with a decent kit (SAIN power level)

- lower level PMCs are a mix of all

- SCAVs are a mix of all personalities except Gigachad, Chad

How to Install

- download & extract to your SPT folder

- load the game, open SAIN GUI (F6 by default)

- select PMC Terminators preset

- gl hf

IMPORTANT: This SAIN preset is currently balanced with ONLY the following difficulties:

- Hard, Impossible PMCs

- Normal SCAVs
- Normal Other types

Settings for other difficulties/bot types are planned. If using SWAG + Donuts, select your bot difficulty from the Donuts F12 menu and/or the SWAG config file

To make sure this is installed correctly, your SAIN/Presets folder should look something like this:

For the best experience using this preset please consider the following
All settings have been tested with the following setup:
Realism Mod
- Realism recoil (with minor tweaks)
- ballistics, gear and attachment overhaul
- Bot HP set to 1.2x
- Player HP increased slightly (~600)
- Headshot Redirect Mod (by Solarint, redirects headshot damage. I have mine set to 45%)

All of this is optional and purely personal preference

DONUTS (updated to 1.3.3)

NEW: RandomScenarioConfig file

You can now create your own random preset pools in a separate file located here: BepInEx\plugins\dvize.Donuts\RandomScenarioConfig.json

Once they're created they can be selected from the drop-down preset selector menu from the Donuts F12 menu. All Donuts bot caps are still defined in ScenarioConfig.json

By default, Donuts ships with the following random presets (defaults to "Random Live Like"):

"Random Live Like" - An equal chance for any of the live-like presets (live-like, alt2, alt3, alt4)

"Random Starting PMCs Only" - An equal chance for either of the starting-pmcs-only-live-like presets

"Whole Lotta SCAVs" - An equal chance for either of the morescavs presets with a small chance for "all-scavs"

"I Like Pain" - A mix of chances for the following presets: "split-starting-pmcs", "crazyraids", "impossibleraids", "boss-mania"

"Quiet Raids" - An equal chance of either of the quietraids presets

Random preset pools are defined like this in the new file:

You can create your own and name them whatever you want, just make sure the preset names match.

NEW: "split-starting-pmcs" preset

This preset spawns PMCs at the start like usual, but also respawns all starting PMCs later in the raid and only them. In most cases, this will happen every 10-20 minutes and all spawn points only have a 50% chance, so there's a good bit of randomness. So, dynamic PMC spawns take longer but there may be more of them if they trigger, it's a bit of a gamble. SCAV spawns are the same.

BUG FIX: Donuts would sometimes not spawn solo bots when supposed to due to a bug in the code. This mostly affected boss-mania bosses, some solo PMC and SCAV spawns, especially when using None or Low group chance. This has been fixed now.

Other Changes

- squad spawns greatly improved (thank you DrakiaXYZ!) - this also improves SAIN compatibility with squads

- lots of balancing in all presets; SCAV spawns increased overall. New points added inside Interchange mall

!! IF YOU USE QUESTING BOTS !!

Please use Questing Bots 0.3.1+ for full compatibility with squads!

DONUTS (updated to v1.3.2, thank you props!)

NEW: PMC and SCAV Squads

Now and going forward, any spawns with bot counts greater than 1 will spawn as a squad. What does this mean? Donuts squads use squad AI, so they will generally stick together as they roam, loot and fight throughout your raids. If you use Questing Bots (if you don't, you should - be sure to install the latest), all squads will travel as a squad and quest as a squad, so as they move around the map they'll stick together just as you would expect in live.

NEW: PMC and SCAV Group Chance option

From the F12 menu, you can select the odds of bot squads in your raids. By default, "Default" is used, which is a mix of solos and groups, with 3, 4 and 5-mans decreasing in chance, respectively. None is all solo. Max is the max possible group size defined for the spawn points (in most cases this is 5). This means you can spawn 10-man PMC death squads if you wanted to.

The weight distribution is currently as follows and is subject to change based on feedback:

Group Chance / Solo / 2-man / 3-man / 4-man / 5-man

"None" - 100% solo

"Low" 0.80, 0.18, 0.02, 0.0, 0.0

"Default" 0.42, 0.42, 0.09, 0.05, 0.02

"High" 0.0, 0.15, 0.35, 0.35, 0.15

"Max" 100% max possible count

DONUTS PRESETS

- All presets have been re-balanced for bot squads

- live-like presets re-balanced for fewer PMCs and more SCAVs (still

- impossibleraids, crazyraids bot caps decreased down to live-like bot caps (mostly for performance reasons)

- all-scavs and morescavs presets re-balanced for SCAV squads

OTHER CHANGES

DONUTS

- Default PMC and SCAV difficulty is now "Normal" instead of "AsOnline". This is because when set to "AsOnline", Donuts has a bit more work to do in the backend to cache bots because of varying difficulties, so spawns might be a bit slower.

SWAG

- Killa default spawn chance decreased 35 > 30

- Cultists default spawn chances increased: Customs 10 > 15, Woods 10 > 15, Shoreline 10 > 12

- All sniper default spawn chances decreased 65 > 55

Now and going forward this is how squad spawns work at the start of raid:

Solos or groups may or may not spawn (depending on preset/SpawnChance) and fill to your PMC cap at the start of raid. If your PMC cap has been reached, then no more starting PMCs will spawn (note: this only applies to START OF RAID PMCs)

Additionally, lets assume that 10 PMCs have spawned and your cap is 12. If the next spawn that is triggered is supposed to be a 5-man, Donuts will instead spawn a 2-man so that it doesn't go over the cap. This is so that if you want to spam PMC squads you won't get 20+ PMCs at the start.

!! IF YOU USE QUESTING BOTS !!

Please install the latest release here on the hub for squad compatibility.

Quote from DepezPopsie

Follow-up Question: I'm using the Starting PMCs Only Like Live / Alt and Starting PMCs Only Quiet Raids, but there are raids where Scav waves keep spawning seemingly endlessly.

Last night I was using "Starting PMCs Only Quiet Raids" and spawned at Big Red. Had a spawn fight with a PMC and then came across 2 scavs in the parking lot. By the time I killed them, 3 more had spawned across in the Golden Zibbo lot and attacked. I killed 2, ducked back to heal, and I heard three more spawn in Storage Wars and started to rush me. Killed one of them, took his gun and ammo, ran to the train area to heal and doubled back from the other side of big red (bridge side).

There were then 2 scavs on the edge of storage wars at the crack in the big red wall and I engaged them. Killing both. I went to go loot and heard more scavs voiceline/spawn around Big Red. I tried to fall back but started getting shot from the bushes to storage wars.

I ran to the other side and killed one more in the street between Big Red and Golden Zibbo, but was still getting shot from Storage Wars...

This went on for like 20+ minutes until I eventually ran out of ammo and meds, and got killed by buckshot to the face trying to melee one.

On the end raid screen, I had one PMC kill and 19 scav kills, without leaving the Big Red parking lot area, and there were at least 2 more scavs alive behind the one I was meleeing.

I also have had this happen in other Customs raids in 2-story dorms, where I can sit in one room and scav after scav after scav will rush the room and die in the doorway, like I was on Factory Horde Mode. Also on Interchange, when I was in the Emercom Medical unit, same thing - wave after wave of 10-15+ scavs spawning and rushing my position, piling bodies up in a doorway over the course of 10 minutes.

Is this normal for "quiet raids"? Why did it feel like horde mode and how can I make spawns a bit less... overwhelming?

Display More

scavs are still a bit overtuned, i'm working on them for 3.7.0, all my time currently is dedicated to 3.7.0. if you want you can try swag scavs instead, just delete any scav files from the preset(s) of your choice and use the SWAG SCAV options in the SWAG config, see the mod page for details on this.

Quote from 1XERO1

I just installed the latest version of SWAG + Donuts, and the server began giving the following error:

It causes an infinite load time into the game. Seems like an issue in the src folder.

can you double check your SWAG config files? try a full re-install, delete SWAG first then install the latest again.

Quote from Chocolate

Posting here because I think it's an important issue many are experiencing: It seems like Cool Down Timer in the Donuts F12 setting is broken.

I observed bot spawns at a couple locations to find one that's very concentrated and found Shoreline Pier to be perfect (Lab around the right staircase to the basement in main and Reserve on the bottom floor of black pawn as well but less controllable without bots in test mode from realism mod).

This was with live-like presets chosen at random until I hit one that concentrated spawns around that area.

Bots spawned consistently within the timeframe given in the pattern config file, but did so while I was on the pier, in one case less than 20 meters away from me. Furthermore cooldown from the F12 menu had absolutely no effect, even setting it to 600 bots spawned in waves that were only ~2:30 to 3 minutes apart. This is 100% where the feeling of overspawning bots comes from, clearing one wave there's barely enough time to loot before the next one spawns right on top of you if you're in a spawn zone, ignoring the MinSpawnDistanceFromPlayer config option. The bots then beeline it straight to the player if currently looting a body, or say repacking ammo from mags a bot carried due to how far they can hear that sound from, leading to an endless loop until the player moves away far enough for the spawns to stop.

As an aside, BotTriggerDistance seems to work as expected, bots spawn in consistently once the spawn point is approached to the given distance in meters.

I did a quick cooldown test on Factory

2 different points, 2 different groups. SCAVs. 60s trigger timer, 180s cooldown (default)

point #1:

1 bot

2 bot cooldown

triggered twice, cooldown started (time passed 60s, shows cooldown is working)

point #2:

2 bots

4 bot cooldown

triggered 3 times, 1/1/2, cooldown started. etc.

i'd like to do more definitive tests on different maps, but it seems like cooldown is working as intended. can you do a test case similar to this one in areas where you're experiencing issues? if we assume it's a balancing issue instead then my initial guess is more scav points should be grouped and i'll likely decrease the max bots before cooldown down from 4 for all

Thanks for the report, I’ll have to test some things myself to figure out what exactly is happening, I’ll get back to you.

Quote from Mag

Could you give more details about the presets? Like how is live different from old live, and crazyraids vs impossible raids?

I will say "morescavs" lived up to the name.

sure, I have some details on the front mod page, under the title "Donuts - Presets Explained". it should be up to date but let me know if anything is incorrect, I'll gladly update as needed.

-1 just means "any bosses", so if you had 5 bosses configured with a 25% chance to spawn on Customs, then any of those 5 can possibly spawn.

NEW: "no-scavs" preset. changes all SCAV spawns to PMCs. High PMC bot caps (configurable).

NEW: "starting-pmcs-only-" presets. these presets spawn PMCs only at the start, so PMC numbers are finite.

Donuts Preset Changes

- balancing in all presets

- Factory and Factory Night SCAV spawns increased in all presets

- boss-mania: more bosses added at new points

- "old-live-like" presets renamed to "like-like-alt-2", etc.

live-like-alt-2, live-like-alt-3 have more uniqueness to them. in these presets PMCs spawns are a bit more aggressive. by that I mean, Dorms will likely be a war zone, or crackhouse. or Streets apts might be filled with PMCs, one preset spawns more PMCs at Shoreline Pier, etc. to compensate I've lowered PMC caps a bit.

- random preset pool adjusted, now all live-like presets have an equal chance of being selected; quietraids has been removed from the random pool (all configurable, reminder that any presets can be added or removed from the random pool)

- PMC and SCAV bot caps adjusted for all presets

- fixed various broken spawn points

SWAG

boss spawn configs have been overhauled

I've added all bosses to all maps in the SWAG pattern files but all boss spawns remain the same. Instead, all boss spawn configs are located in a separate file, bossConfig.json, where you can enable any bosses on any maps with ease with a spawn time and spawn zones.

additionally, all TotalBossesPerMap have been changed to -1, which means any bosses can spawn in your raids again.

SWAG config file has changed

- all boss configs moved to bossConfig.json

- Sniper (Marksman) spawn chance moved to other bot type chances

- PMC and SWAG wave config options are now under a specific block - this is to make it clear that these settings are disabled by default since all PMCs and SCAVs spawn via Donuts. This is entirely configurable - you are free to disable Donuts spawns (from the F12 menu) and adjust these settings as you set fit.

- all map bot caps adjusted to account for all PMCs, SCAVs, bosses and other bot types. all SWAG caps should now be higher than Donuts PMC and SCAV caps.

- all default boss spawn chances increased 20 > 30

Huge thanks to everyone who has tested and provided feedback! Most of this stuff was originally planned for 3.7.0 but the scope was getting a bit large so I decided to push this out for 3.6.1 instead; more new stuff coming for 3.7.0! hope everyone has a good time!

yes, the only exception being the boss-mania Donuts preset which spawns some bosses via Donuts in addition to the rest.

Quote from Pastor180

Hi, are spawn points added with LUAs used by SWAG+Donut?

Thanks

as far as I'm aware LUAs adds points to base game bot zones. so, SWAG spawns would use them, but not Donuts, since Donuts uses custom spawn points already.

new build for testing btw https://github.com/p-kossa/noo…-Donuts-v3.1.4-betav2.zip

you're on the right track. it's not PMC spawns in particular but all client side spawns, so all Donuts spawns seem to slow down any server-side spawns (bosses). you can test this behavior yourself, try disabling Donuts before a raid with your bot monitor on and check the spawn speed compared to w/ Donuts on. i'll keep digging
