I want to like Anomaly but...

[Yomu]

As gorgeous and rich this mod is, there is one thing that completely ruins any sort of fun apart from exploring - The absolutely horrendous bullsh*t AI.

Now I'm very much aware that vanilla AI wasn't good to begin with but Anomaly devs took that and made it even more broken mess.

Stalkers: Even with Hardcore aim turned off they insta lock on to me in pitch darkness as soon as they see a pixel of my head, making any stealth gameplay (which is the essence of the word STALKER) impossible less than 1km away from them. I was trying to sneak into the Brain scorcher at 2 AM almost constantly prone in high grass without any noise yet patrols still spot me 90% of the time. Which brings me to the other problem - AI ignore transparent textures such as grass & trees. You basically have to keep hard terrain between you at all times if you want to actually stalk.

Mutants Completely silent aimbot homing missles are not fun. I'm looking at you Red forest chimera running at me at full speed with voice chat on Mute and one hitting anything less than an exo skeleton. Same as stalkers they insta lock on to you as soon as you enter their terriroty, ♥♥♥♥ camoflauge, ♥♥♥♥ any tactics.

I wanted to dive deep into this mod but sh*t like this makes it impossible to take seriously.

I can't find myself disagreeing with you. Some people are even talking about stuff that I wasn't even aware about, lot's of mechanics and things that sound very redundant and stupid.

BTW - Anomaly works great with Mod Organizer 2. Makes finding and resolving conflicts pretty sweet. Since it uses a virtual file system, you aren't "locked" into a particular addon order, either.

Sounds like a skill issue to me...

AI shooting through bushes and grass is vanilla Stalker behavior, those things are transparent for it. The best place to check it is Swamps in CS - a Renegade standing on swamp grass can be invisible and yet have a perfect vision of you. But it also happens in ShoC and CoP, but in those games level designers mostly didn’t place many vegetation around combat heavy areas.

What disturbs me about these types of posts is that the AI in Anomaly, even on max difficulty with hardcore aim are nowhere near as deadly or accurate as say your typical online FPS shooter.

I have not so fond memories of playing CS-GO for the first time where people would "literally" have near-pixel-perfect aim and reaction times that blow Stalker AI right out of the water.

There are many, and I mean MANY places and positions you can take in Anomaly where the hardcore aim empowered AI take "literally" up to 5 seconds to start shooting at you. So when I hear people saying the AI are too deadly, it really throws me for a loop, like they are playing an entirely different mod/game.

For me, the only real challenging part about fighting the AI is their exceptionally accurate grenade spam. Their ability to shoot you with firearms is very random, and in my experience, they are usually quite horrible, at least in contrast to playing against another human.

You could say that the AI is quite good in Anomaly and I would agree, but not as it relates to shooting accuracy- that to me is probably the weakest component to it.

Can somebody tell if there´s a way to deactivate "saveing after sleep" in survival mode?

70-80 mods on top is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of modding and a compatibility nightmare. I just wish such glaring issues were fixed in testing before release. I'd appreciate a list of your mods for AI and mutant tweaks.

Sure - I gave it to another person so I have the whole pack uploaded to google drive. I use JSGME to allow myself easy peasy compatability checking and loading of mods. I have included a profile for JSGME with all the mods set up in the order that works, and a .txt document explaining each of the mods briefly.

Here is the link to the modpack itself:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k0-ZBvT7f-vvPINHy5IW2dcJLgwGt_61/view?usp=sharing

Here is the .txt file explaining each mod:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pG-zMeblg6KCjC1aS4-32Up9-DUtISYr/view?usp=sharing

And here is the dynamic stalker mod (added it after I made the pack of mods):
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/anomaly-ai-extension

And if you don't know what JSGME is, here's that as well:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/call-of-chernobyl/downloads/jsgme

JSGME allows you to add mods to separate folders and use an application to add them to gamedata. With this method they can be deactivated at any time, and don't permanently overwrite anything. You can create mirrors of your files to revert to vanilla if you delete something, and profiles to add mods in specific orders.

If you need help with setting this all up feel free to message me.

Hey, Cujo! Can you update this link? i'm interest in see this mod pack.

Thanks, awaiting return!

I believe I still have the list of JGSME order and mod name floating around somewhere, but I've long since deleted that modpack since I stopped playing Anomaly. I'll double check though.
