  1. Author: ddraig
  2.  
  3. Several "fixes" for weird Misery behaviour and general enhancement tweaks.
  4.  
  5. Made for 2.0.2 (QF)
  6.  
  7. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
  8.  
  9. For the main bulk of fixes, copy the gamedata folder from the "base" folder over Misery 2.0.2 QF (make sure this patch is installed properly - 2.0.2, then the Quick Fix on top of 2.0.2). Overwrite any files.
  10.  
  11. After this, make sure before you start a new game to CHANGE YOUR CLASS FIRST. This is rather important, as Misery 2.0 uses this rather esoteric system, and if you don't switch your class, it might break certain things. I've tried to make it default to "Assaulter", but it's important you change your class at least once to overcome this limitation.
  12.  
  13. Say you want to play Assaulter, switch your class to something else first (using the ingame system), then switch back to Assaulter. A bit of a pain in the ass, but blame MDT for this :(
  14.  
  15. If installation is successful, you should on the main screen see the version as "Misery 2.0.2 (Misery Hotfix)"
  16.  
  17. A lot of these changes are rather subtle, so you may not see immediate effects, but if you follow these instructions the game will work, I promise you.
  18.  
  19. It's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if not essential, that you start a new game. This starts from a completely clean slate, and the buggy behaviour that I've fixed will not be latent in any scripts/configs in the save game.
  20.  
  21. The optional changes are optional, and install in the same manner.
  22.  
  23.  
  24. CHANGE LOG:
  25.  
  26. * 9/10/13 *
  27.  
  28. - Changed smart terrain spawns for Pripyat. It makes no logical sense for stalkers to appear there before Freeplay. The road to Pripyat is known only to a few people: The guys you go with aren't likely to tell anyone, and neither is Garry - he wants Pripyat to himself, and there's the fact that there IS MILITARY ALL OVER! Non-military/monolith/merc spawns will not occur until freeplay. This prevents certain quests being broken (like the insane sentry) and adds to the general isolated feeling of Pripyat. It's now you and the rapidly dwindling band of Military versus the Monolith.
  29. - Slightly tweaked the sound for drawing out the flashlight. Sounds slightly better.
  30. - Fixed "detector scope" so it now actually works.
  31. - Slightly increased efficiency of all repair parts. This is a minor tweak that is fitting with the original design philosophy.
  32.  
  33. * 8/10/13 *
  34.  
  35. - Incorporated the Unofficial Call of Pripyat patch. This has so many fixes it defies words. It basically fixes 99.9% of the bugs, weirdness and logic of the base game which Misery hasn't even touched. Doors use correct sounds, Flint stops talking to himself, broken quests are fixed etc.
  36. - Updated radio logic scripts. To compensate for surges not having a proper "notification", surges now disrupt radio transmissions. It's a smooth transition, masked by static, that switches radios in bases off during emissions. Hell is breaking loose, you're not getting ANY radio signals through that.
  37. - To make surges unpredictable, the "A surge occurred while you were sleeping/travelling" message has been removed, and replaced with the UP's "removing dead" function. This improves performance and makes the game more dynamic!
  38. - Added in several new stories/anecdotes to the dialog manager system. Asking people about the Zone will now have a few more varied responses. Some are even specific to the Black Road.
  39. - Fixed death settings to correctly allow Black's PDA to drop.
  40.  
  41. * 7/10/13 *
  42.  
  43. - Updated file structure to make installation easier.
  44. - Added in balanced colour settings based on Yasti's recommendation (details below).
  45. - Tweaked UI configs for classes to make the menus work better.
  46. - Enabled fallout and psi-storms (12 hours for Fallout, 24 for psi-storms).
  47. - Removed unnecessary damage to Recon's equipment on non-Black Road starts. A balanced playing field is now yours.
  48.  
  49.  
  50. ------
  51.  
  52. * ANABIOTIC FIX
  53.  
  54. Picture the scenario: You're in the middle of nowhere. The clouds go all weird. All hell starts breaking loose. You scrabble desperately in your backpack, and pop an anabiotic. The surge sweeps over you... and you die.
  55.  
  56. Sound familiar? Turns out the anabiotic, despite having a usage script, does not actually link to the anabiotic callback functions. This is a HUGE oversight. I've fixed this.
  57.  
  58. This adds in (hopefully) a proper usage script. It will go through all the stages of using it (taking your helmet off, eating it etc.) and then will knock you out on your ass and let the anabiotic do its thing.
  59.  
  60. I've tried to make the anabiotic "taking" look convincing. Any improvements on it are welcome, but I think it looks and functions rather well.
  61.  
  62. Enjoy your functional anabiotics!
  63.  
  64. * ASSAULTER FIX
  65.  
  66. Included is an updated bind_stalker.script file. This is very major, it removes the additional post-process check associated with taking damage, which can render the Assaulter's Strong Grip/Sturdy perks useless aswell as making being a recon/sniper almost unbearable. This also contains the associated functions for the anabiotic fix, so this is practically required.
  67.  
  68. * MERCS FOOD QUEST FIX
  69.  
  70. Someone was pissed off that the mercs wouldn't accept their food, so I made this:
  71.  
  72. The Mercs in Zaton that were after food would only accept three specific types: bread, kolbasa (old meat) and conserva (can of tuna). This has updated the function to include virtually all imported food (MDT included all these foods but forgot to make them do their function). Mercs won't accept "Zone-produced" products like raw meat or cooked mutant meat. They want canned food, bread or high quality meat. In practical terms they'll accept most food that doesn't come from a mutant or dubious source and is actually a decent "meal" (i.e. not gum). If you want specifics, look in dialogs_zaton.script for functions associated with the "b106" smart terrain.
  73.  
  74. * SURGE TASK FIX
  75.  
  76. Very minor change to the surge_manager.script file. Turns out that they were evaluating the "safe_cover_notification" setting incorrectly, so false would make the game give you the task, while "true" would make the game not give you the task. Now the option behaves correctly.
  77.  
  78. * SLEEP SOUND FIX
  79.  
  80. Replaced the sleep, zevok and wakeup sound effects with actual sound effects. Properly ogg-commented. These were previously "empty" sounds.
  81.  
  82. * EXOSKELETON FIX
  83.  
  84. Exoskeletons now have a proper hud. In addition to this, they also have been set to not allow helmets with their use. They're basically a closed-circuit suit with a bunch of features added.
  85.  
  86. * SLEEP UI FIX (FEEDBACK WANTED)
  87.  
  88. I've completely rewritten this entire script. Hopefully I've fixed the sleep_actor_safe flag always being false. Added in various extra conditions to the "You cannot sleep" functions, including lack of tiredness, radiation (actually working properly), surges/psi-storms, bleeding and a combination thereof. If you want to sleep, you better be in good condition and actually want it. Since you now need to be tired to sleep, sleeping pills are no longer useless.
  89.  
  90. Time forwarding should now work properly and not be dependant on you sleeping somewhere safe. Time moves forward no matter where you are.
  91.  
  92. Forced surges should now only happen if you sleep outside of a base. Sleeping inside one will properly skip surges.
  93.  
  94. If you place your sleeping bag down, and try to sleep but are unable to (for any of the reasons listed above) you will no longer just leave your sleeping bag, you will automatically pick it up. This can lead to rather embarassing situations where you leave your sleeping bag somewhere and get the fuck out of dodge, and when you sleep in a base your sleeping bag might magically find you. The Zone touches things, even lowly sleeping bags. If you've lost a sleeping bag, then try this, it may actually come back to you magically. I could probably fix this, but I find it slightly charming.
  95.  
  96. The "Dialog already hidden" crash should now be fixed. Turns out they the forced sleep function could try to hide the sleep ui dialog even if it wasn't already active, thus causing this rather embarassing crash. This is now fixed, hopefully.
  97.  
  98. If you want any more information, I've commented the code in the script. MDT should learn to do this.
  99.  
  100. Changed scripts are itms_manager.script and ui_sleep_dialog.script
  101.  
  102. Any problems, I'd really like to hear them.
  103.  
  104. * ROAD TO PRIPYAT SUIT FIX
  105.  
  106. A very minor fix. To get to Pripyat, you need a suit with a closed-circuit respitory system. As far as I can tell, there are four in game: The SEVA suit, the Red/green Scientific outfits and the Exoskeleton.
  107.  
  108. Now instead of requiring the SEVA suit, you can choose any of the four. You also need to be wearing it when you talk to Zulu, otherwise he won't consider you ready.
  109.  
  110. * EXHAUSTION FIX (OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED)
  111.  
  112. There is also a new "postproces_mod.script". This is minor, but it greatly reduces the amount of time you can stay awake. They've added in this rather neat post-process mod but have set it at values which makes it very, very unlikely the average player will ever see them. For example, the sniper, who is least dependant on sleep, can stay awake for FOUR DAYS. This is absurd. I'm not a trained military specialist, but after a single day of not sleeping, and pretty much sitting on my ass, I feel really shitty and run down (and I consider myself a bit of an insomniac). How the hell can someone stay awake for four days while operating at maximum capacity before finally collapsing, while being in a radioactive hellhole with everything trying to kill you? (the new dialog manager texts even mention that the Zone saps away at the strength of even the strongest guy, so this seems even more absurd)
  113.  
  114. All classes have had their traits taken into account. I've pretty much halved the original values. Snipers can now stay awake a maximum of 53 hours (just over 2 days), Assaulters can stay awake for 36 hours (a day and a half)
  115.  
  116. Feel free to disregard this fix or change the values to whatever you like.
  117.  
  118. * LOGICAL BLACK ROAD START (OPTIONAL)
  119.  
  120. The Black Road kind of annoys me. They say it's supposed to be a hard mode, and give it an elaborate backstory, but all it essentially does is move you to the sawmill and give you no equipment. Boring.
  121.  
  122. I've decided to make the Black Road slightly more logical. You presumably get to the Sawmill after being ambushed by something. It's dark, you've used up all your medical supplies, and you're in quite bad condition thanks to that. You barricade yourself inside the building, hoping to save your life somehow.
  123.  
  124. Why does Degtyarev take the time, while running for his life, to rip off his helmet and strip practically naked? He has enough foresight to keep his knife (a useful tool), but drops other useful things? The UPD is a very useful tool, as is a flashlight, so why would he ditch the UPD while keeping his knife and flashlight? Tossing your gun if you're running and it has no ammo? You might do that - it could probably be more of a burden than it's worth. Going through your pack to get rid of non-essentials to make it easier to get away? Yeah, I can see that, but why would you throw away useful, valuable and lightweight tools that may help you out somehow?
  125.  
  126. The Black Road now has you in bare minimum equipment. You have your helmet, outfit, battery and knife. Your helmet is broken, your outfit ripped, and your battery drained. You've been hell to get to this point. If used with the exhaustion tweak above you also start off partially exhausted. Each class now has the same knife in Black Road and non Black Road starts, just for consistency.
  127.  
  128. Just to add a bit of flair to the occassion, there's a 10% chance of a surge starting. Pray the Zone has mercy on you.
  129.  
  130. --------------------------------------------
  131. ------------- OTHER FIXES ------------------
  132. --------------------------------------------
  133.  
  134. These have not been made by me, but are included as they round out the overall experience:
  135.  
  136. * COLOUR TWEAK (Author: Yasti)
  137.  
  138. A subtle change to the Atmosfear script. Changes certain settings in the user.ltx file that allow for a better, more atmospheric colour scheme. Maintains the original thematic mood, but enhances it subtly. Nights are darker, as are indoor areas, sunsets/sunrises are more vivid etc. Highly recommended. Activates on a new game start. Also removed the "forced" setting of certain high-intensity options. If you want Sun Shadow etc switched off, the game shouldn't force you to do so every time you start.
  139.  
  140. * WEAPONS OVERHAUL (Author: kv0)
  141.  
  142. A very large, very well thought out overhaul to certain weapons. Changes characteristics, makes certain weapons more compatible with different classes (Recon should get the most use out of carbines, but a lot of them he does not etc.)
  143.  
  144. Full readme:
  145.  
  146. 1. Shell ejection for right-bolted weapons now correctly plays on the right side.

  154. 9. PPSh-41 now has correct position in hands.
  155. 10. Rebalanced characteristics of almost all weapons. The scopes zoom rate refers to normal.
  156. 11. Corrected weapon upgrades, hopefully removing all errors present in Misery 2.0
  157. 12. Corrected ballistics: removed the large dispersion rate in the 'actor' config. Weapons now shoot straight.
  158. 13. Disabled upgrades related to the FAMAS' integrated scope. It doesn't have one.
  159. 14. RPK-74 no longer has an upgraded magazine size, instead you can install a side-rail bracket for optical scopes.
  160. 15. L85 has a permanent 4x Scope. The scope upgrade has been replaced with a weapon weight reduction.
  161. 16. AEK-971 renamed to AEK-973S.
  162. 17. SAKO M95 has correct silencer in its description.
  163. 18. Ditto for the TT-33
  164. 19. XM8 Rifle now has 1.8x ACOG Scope
  165. 20. Added 1.5x integrated scope to the G36K description.
  166. 21. The Unique VSS 'Tide' now has profiles for all character classes.
  167. 22. You can now install scopes on the AK-105. It had a rail bracket, but no ability to attach scopes.
  168. 23. Fixed class proficiency for AKS-74U Camo, LR-300ML, M4A1 - high for Recon, M16A1 - high for Assaulter.
  169. 24. Sniper now has high proficency with the VSS Vintorez. Recon has high proficiency for AS VAL and VSK-94.
  170. 25. Sniper rifle 'KSVK' has the more correct name 'ASVK' and new description.
  171. 26. On the ASVK, the scope texture has been corrected to remove the transparent stripe across the screen.
  172. 27. Sniper rifles TRG-42, M14 DMR and M24 'Green Dragon' have 10x scope zoom rate, and upgrade up to 15x.
  173. 28. Sniper rifles SVD, SVU and Vintorez have a 4x scope zoom rate, upgrade to 8x PSO-3.
  174. 29. Gauss is equipped with 10x scope.
  175. 30. SUSAT 1.6x scopes have been replaced by 2x, as they are more universal.
  176. 31. ACOG scopes now has 3 types: 3.5x35, lighter 2x20 and night 2x20.

  183. 38. PBS-4 silencer now replaced by 'TGP-V' 7.62 mm caliber.
  184. 39. The cartridges SP-5 and SP-6 has swaped armor classes piercing.
  185.  
  186. * TRADER OPTIMIZATION/OVERHAUL (Author: Yasti)
  187.  
  188. Greatly optimizes trader inventory. Basically, any items that are sold to traders that the traders do not normally sell are removed from their inventory. This greatly reduces the load that traders have on the game. There's a lot of "clutter/junk" in the game, this makes it slightly more managable.
  189.  
  190. * HUD/BREATH SOUND FIX (Author: Yasti)
  191.  
  192. Changes the conditions for Hud damage. Now it is correctly calculated. Also has a minor script that changes the volume intensity of the actor's breathing depending on how much stamina he has left.
  193.  
  194. * SAVE GAME CORRUPTION FIX v5 (Author: Yasti, Real Wolf)
  195.  
  196. Attempts to "fix" a lot of potential save game corruption that can occur. May also fix save games that have already been corrupted, but don't count on it.
  197.  
  198. * IMPROVED SUIT TEXTURES (Author: Unknown)
  199.  
  200. Replaces several "arm" textures to better match the suits that the arms correspond to.
  201.  
  202. * IMPROVED AK74 TEXTURE (Author: Unknown)
  203.  
  204. Higher quality/more detailed texture based on the Metro 2033 AK. Better suits the ingame icon for the weapon.
  205.  
  206. -----
  207.  
  208. Enjoy your slightly less miserable Misery.
