RDE Expanded & Enhanced 1.1.0

4,186

YOU HAVE TO INSTALL RDE BEFORE USING THIS MOD!

Current Game Version: 1.0.3351.0 - Current RDE Version: 4.0.4

This Mod is the definitive way to enhance your experience, bringing a ton of improvements and fixes to both RDE and the vanilla game.

Enjoy a new reworked and rebalanced wanted system, which delivers an increasingly hard but fair difficulty together with the addition of many law enforcement agencies (some new and some brought back from our beloved RDE 3.1.7.).

Play again the story mode of GTA V, now with complete RDE support for all main and side missions, activities and even random events.
A lot more of these missions have been edited to allow the use of custom peds and vehicles added by RDE and this mod, pushing a more immersive experience while also keeping it "lore-friendly".

CHANGELOG

1.1.0
- Compatibility with RDE 4.0.4: removed RDE map files from dlc_patch folder (these are now integrated in the dlcpack).
- Ambient Backup is officially back! Cops will now call for backup when they are fighting other NPCs, assigning them a wanted level just like the player.
- Reworked and retuned scripted vehicles AI behaviour. Now submarines and paratroopers cargobobs can enter search mode.
- Reworked police search AI. Now they'll no longer break their task after 60 seconds of searching (would cause them to start wandering around randomily).
- Reworked agitated triggers for NPCs:
  • Now they will only get triggered after prolunged times of loitering around them/following them.
  • Cops will immediately get triggered after pulling a gun near them.
  • Gang peds will sometimes try to intimidate the player if he gets too close.

- Coast guard dinghys now behave differently in combat:
  • Front peds will now shoot with their side weapon. Rear peds will shoot with their main weapon.

- Changed stungun weapon group type from GROUP_STUNGUN to GROUP_PISTOL (this will prevent cops from switching their stungun for a pistol while performing the arrest task - will be useful when BetterChases is out).

- Reduced the wander time for Cops and Swat peds while in search mode.

- K-9 Units will now use their default RDE AI if the custom AI included by this mod cannot be utilized.

- Added story compatibility for the following missions: "Breach of Contract", "Exercising Demons" and "Paparazzo - The Meltdown".
- Replaced the security guard at the LSIA gate with an LSIA cop in the mission "Eye in the Sky".

    • Juggernauts have way less HP and they no longer have a 100 percent spawn rate.
    • Explosive and vehicle physics have also been completly reworked:
      • Vehicles are no longer extremely sensible to explosive damage, meaning they will be able to withstand a bunch of hits from less powerful explosive weaponry (grenades, explosive rounds, etc).
      • Explosives now deal damage based on their distance from the target (instead of always dealing 100 percent damage even on the edges of the blast range).

      • K-9 Units will also spawn in traffic.

    • Targeting system has been toned down in order to treat the player the same as other NPCs.

INSTALLATION

If you have already installed a previous version, you can just download and run the update installer.
Otherwise download the numbered version and follow the steps below:

Run the OIV file with OpenIV.
Remember to create back-up of your mods and scripts folder before installing, I'm not responsibile for any problems on your end.

To avoid any problems, I suggest you to install your mods in the following order:
  1. Install RDE
  2. Install any other mod you like (with the exception of handling mods, those should be installed after)
  3. Install this mod


WARNING

This mod requires a specific pool value to be set in the gameconfig to work.
If, for whatever reason, you'd like to switch gameconfig (I don't suggest you to do so, RDE gameconfig should work with most mods),
remember to keep this value in check:

< PoolName >ActionTable_Damages< /PoolName >
< PoolSize value="27" / >
