It wasn't aware to us that the shock state was such a problem for some of you. We'll take a look at it for the next release.

@AnymYo Try playing with DSEuphTime and DSDelay - those in combination with the HeadVec-values (delta and time) create the shock state. But if you dont want any altered euphoria behavior, I suggest setting DSEuphTime to a low value like 0, 10 or 100 and then work up from there. If that doesnt result in anything you want, you can try tweaking DSDelay. HeadVecMaxTime I would set to something higher than 0 (like 100 or so) - if you want the head bone check to stop, I would rather increase the range of the delta value than lower the one for the time check.

Its a fixed health value, independent of the breed.

There is already a HorseHealth option in the ini. We are currently looking into core drain for horses, maybe we'll have something for the next release.

It was once intentional because only then you really get to see the bruises you can inflict on NPCs. You can change it yourself in the ini, but I will take it into consideration and have a talk about it with fitfondue and some testers.

@lexo1000 We fixed two more little bugs this weekend and will wrap up the latest build as soon as we are ready. It wont be long, hopefully this weekend 🙂

Yes, for testing purposes.

Next beta version. We would appreciate any form of feedback 🙂 PedDamageOverhaul.ini PedDamageOverhaul.asi

Did you activate the spine shot paralysis? This is the only setting allowing NPCs to go down before the thresholds are reached and those NPCs wont be able to move (and if the thresholds arent reached, they wont bleed out either). But this feature is disabled by default (exactly because of this behavior - which is logical, but often not wanted).

@ChristianW. Thanks for the feedback. Addressing your points: Enemies are down and dont die: you turned on "AlwaysBleedoutLonger" - turn this off and check if it changes. Enemies dont takte much damage from leg or arm shots: this is intended, so you cant take NPCs down by a few hand or foot shots - you can change it via the ini. Enemies stopping after fleeing from the player: how often did this occur? Is there any way to properly reproduce the scenario? Screaming NPCs in combat: this is the panic chance - it can be configured at the bottom of the ini. Screaming NPCs in combat looping sound: is there any way to reproduce this issue? Does it happen for every scream or only occasionally?

@ChristianW. No, the knockout threshold does not interfere with the bleeding and running. When Im talking about thresholds, its always the DyingMovementThreshold, DyingMovementThreshold2 and DyingThreshold. If you have UseAnimChance set to 100, the DyingMovement-Values are obsolete to you. The DyingMovement-Values are the ones used if the animations are not played -> NPCs are moved via force pushes (this was the usual way before we figured out how to use animations and it stayed in because some people liked it).

Here is a new beta version for v1.54. Please test and provide some feedback, guys (ini is configured for tests - you might want to disable invincibility). PedDamageOverhaul.ini PedDamageOverhaul.asi

@ChristianW. I would suggest playing with the following variables for the following effects: How much damage NPCs can take before going down: increase/decrease DyingMovementThreshold How quickly they bleed out: increase/decrease BleedingChanceDying1 and BleedingChanceDying2 How much damage you take: increase/decrease NPCWeaponModifier If you want NPCs to lose health after you have shot them once (even if they are not down) enable BleedWhenShot and configure BleedingChanceShot to control how quickly they lose health. Concerning the bleeding and fleeing, it is a bit complicated. Its like this: when NPCs are bleeding, they start doing certain tasks (the running around is a task, for example). We dont know all the tasks which are linked to the bleeding and running, only some of them. For those we know, we have already made exceptions in the code, so NPCs dont get forced to the ground, even if their health is below the thresholds. For those tasks we dont know, NPCs will only be able to run around bleeding as long as their health does not cross any of the thresholds. So there is really nothing much you can do at the moment. We tried to improve it in the new version (v1.54), but it still occurs.

Artery shots seem like they occur by chance (depending on different factors like NPC health and point of impact) - I was never able to produce them on purpose. That said, we didnt change anything about neck damage, NPC health or anything that might impact the bleeding behavior (at least from what I understand).
