PROJECT M.S.O. - MASSIVE SIMULATION OVERHAUL
------------------------------------------

CURRENT VERSION: v1.0
LAST UPDATED: 25.03.2012

------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION:
------------------------------------------

M.S.O. is a stand-alone Call of Pripyat A.I. and a-life (simulation) overhaul revamping and radically improving every aspect of NPC and mutant behaviour in-game.

Changes include everything from complete smart terrain revamp (spawns, function, logical repopulation of all quest-related places), thru NPC and mutant daily behaviours to rank-specific combat skills and habits (diversified aiming skills and reaction times).

All this done for all locations (so Pripyat also got completely overhauled) and pararerly to the storyline and side-quests meaning that (despite such major changes) everything works fine and doesn't get broken.

No other CoP mod ever has touched this subject in such a complete and complex manner - and all this is available to you in stand-alone 'vanilla-oriented' package making the mod easy to add to your favourite compilation.

MAIN FEATURES:
------------------------------------------

- complete revamp of all locations spawns both in therms of what is spawned, where and in what number (see Article)

- complete revamp of npc and mutant simulation behaviours - what they do and where they go at which hours (old A-life in CoP called 'simulation', see Article)

- proper and logical repopulation of all quest-related locations (ex. water treatment or workshop in Zaton)

- introduction of number of custom profesions for npcs, for ex. hunter and scientific squads (see the Article for details)

- complete overhaul of Pripyat in aspects mentioned above - all factions and profesions are present there, along with a lot of varied mutants - generally a lot of stuff is going on there now

- new & proper NPC blowout reaction - fights get ignored and everyone is sprinting for covers - no more stupid deaths around the player on each emission

- overhaul of npc's fighting skills: it is now rank and faction depended with masters having much better accuracy and reaction times then noobs (see Article)

- NPC chances in fights vs mutants greatly increased (meaning that NPC death from mutant is quite rare) - squads survive for much longer periods and you can meet same guys a lot of times during the same play-thru

- overhaul of NPC's vision settings - noobs are much less perceptive and detect player slower than masters (especially at nights)

- large tweak of NPC combat 'speach' - no one will warn about granede throws for example. Higher ranks tend to speak even less and remain silent.

- improvement to 'neutral bases' behaviour (ex. Skadovsk and Scientists Bunker) - NPC's patroling perimeter will actively 'defend' bases by shooting to wandering mutants and hostile factions.

- AI Tweaks: vast improvements to all NPCs on-line behaviours:

* fighting over long distances (rank / faction depended)
* detecting & ignoring enemies (rank / faction depended)
* pursuing escaping enemies (rank / faction depended)
* proper sprinting for cover from Blowouts & ignoring combat on the way
* looting of all dead bodies
* proper and fast aid to wounded comrades

- AI Tweaks: introduction of NPC running in combat (rank / faction depended)

- Alundaio Plugin Pack: completely random (yet diversified by rank and faction) NPC gear with proper weapon attachements usage

- Alundaio Plugin Pack: introduction of facer NPC ability (they do meele attacks using their weapons)

- Alundaio Plugin Pack: introducion of medkit and bandage usage by NPC's (rank / faction depended)

- Alundaio Plugin Pack: introduction of proper AP and special ammo usage by NPCs (rank / faction depended)

- Number of options to customize mod features (see Article or individual readme's in #Optionals folder)

- overhaul of npc armors and squads composition:

* Quest / special NPCs squads were generally given better armors - they can handle themselves better in freeplay and scripted fighs are more interesting now
* Bandits and Mercs can have mixed squads (they either act as bandits or mercs in a-life)
* Merc squads can also have high-ranked soldiers in their squads (deserters / veterans / officers working after hours as hired guns)
* Duty and Freedom squads of all types can have Loners in them
* Freedom and Loners veteran squads can have soldiers in Clear Sky suits
* Loners and Duty veterean squads can have soldiers in Military suits
* Monolith can have NPCs in armors of all other factions - they're minds where already broken (they will talk 'monolith style') but they have not received they're armors yet

(npc's in armors not typicall to squad's faction will always be in minority)

- full compatibility with AtmosFear v3 mod by Cromm Cruac (compilation patch included in the package)
