MODS for Prey now available!

[JRavens]

Hi Yus,

I have begun releasing packs of mods for Prey on Nexus. So far I have a Hardcore Mod pack that makes the game much more of a survival game (brought back Traumas and limited fabricator licenses, adds new junk/food, etc) and an Immersion Mod pack that can disable various immersion breaking aspects (can remove glowing items, alert indicators over enemies heads, remove music cues when aliens are close, etc).

This are all pretty "MOD"ular (bad pun intended) and you can pick and choose the bits you want to use in your games.

Check them out here -

Hardcore Mod:

More coming soon!

Thanks!!

JRavens are you still working on this? any way to disable the sound that plays when picking up a fabricator liscense? Also would there be any way to disable the random loot drops on typhon but retain the vanilla fabrication system?

[attenzionee]

Are there any type of updates comming to this awesome game? would like to replay this, but not in the normal way

I would love to see a mod that properly toughens turrets, maybe as simple as a healthy buff to the Repair 3 neuromod

nvm I've done it myself

Happy to share... I can "explain how to DIY" or just upload the file somewhere or a Nexus mod guy can take it/use it/share it.

I've also moved turret fortification to a lvl2 repair neuromod perk because that seems right to me and my playstyle.

Nice mods, though the UICustomizer mod does the first two and more since it's customisable. I'm using it and it's great for turning off annoying HUD elements and notifications. It also allows you to bind new keys. I've got mouse scroll wheel for moving up and down the quickbar and F1, F2 and F3 for quick use medkits, psi-hypos and food - works a treat.

I made my own mod too.

- Shotgun shells stack to 1000 instead of 48
- Pistol ammos stacks to 1000 insread of 90
- Narf darts stack to 1000 instead of 50
- All types of grenade stack to 100 instead of 10
- Psi Hypos are now horizontal in the inventory like medkits (instead of vertical)
- Walking forwards is slower
- Sprinting is faster
- Walking backwards is faster
- Side stepping is faster
- Sneaking and crawling is slightly slower
- The flashlight never runs out of charge
- Flashlight beam is larger
- Conditioning ability upgrade does not modify movement speeds (but Mobility I and II does). UI text description for Conditioning changed to reflect this

You might think the ammo stacks are cheating but the game flies in the face of logic when it comes to stacking everything else, so bollocks to that.

Things I couldn't modify:

- Removing the black haze around the screen when sneaking (can't find the texture for it)
- Binding a new key to modify walk speed on the fly as a toggle (impossible I think)
- Stop auto opening containers

Anyway, if anyone wants it you can grab it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xwgpk51jdzeiqs/patch_DMay_Prey_Nice.zip?dl=0
Instructions included in the zip.

I'd like to slow down walk/run speed. Help any1? Much appreciated

I like immersion and slowly strolling through games enjoying details fully. If you have idea, i'd be gratefull for any info how to do it.

Still sad, wish Arkane games had total conversions or map mods.

If you download the file linked to by Scoopytwist (Horrace), you'll see what has been modded to achieve different walking speeds by comparing it to the original files. If you take the time to mod it yourself you can adjust the walking speed to your preference.

[SlaveOfSelf(lucas)]

Don't know how to edit it. It also says need new game for speeds to change.

Sure but you can learn quickly if motivated its not hard, some of the info is in this very forum the rest is but a Google search away.

Basically you need to:
1. Unpack the relevent game files with a special conversion tool (go look it up)
2. Uncompress the data (use 7zip)
3. Convert the xml binary files to ascii text (go look it up)
4. Edit the files in a text editor (use Notepad++)
5. Zip the files into an archive preserving the folder structure
6. Rename the file to patch_XYZ.pak (where XYZ= your mod name)
7. drop the file into the prechache folder

thnx, but apparently it only works with new game and im few days in it. I don't feel like starting again.

Is the walking speed value easy to find in case if I'm gona try it?

That's the problem. It seems any changes made to Playerconfig.xml don't work unless you start a new game which is very frustrating. Luckily I only did 4 hours so starting again wasn't so bad.

Download this zip containing the converter tools: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eshn0ebe2zvjm2w/PreySDK.zip?dl=0

1. Copy patch.pak (in Prey\GameSDK\Precache) and put it in the unzipped folder with PreyConvert and BinXMLDecode.

2. Open a command prompt (Run then type CMD, press enter)

3. Change to the drive where the unzipped folder is (e.g. F:)

4. Change to the directory where the unzipped folder is (e.g cd myFolders\PreySDK)

5. Type PreyConvert.exe patch.pak patch.zip, press enter (note we are unpacking the patch.pak file instread of GameData.pak - this is important)

6. Create a folder with your mod name, inside it make a folder called Ark

7. Inside Ark make a folder called Player

8. Search for, download and install 7-Zip

9. Right click the converted patch.zip and chose Open Archive (under 7-Zip)

10. Open Ark\Player, click on PlayerConfig.xml, click Copy

11. The copied PlayerConfig.xml should be in the PreySDK folder with PreyConvert and BinXMLDecode programs

12. Open a command prompt again and go into the directory as before, this time type BinXMLDecode.exe PlayerConfig.xml PlayerConfig.xml, press enter

13. Open PlayerConfig.xml using Notepad++ (don't use normal Windows Notepad!!)

14. Search for maxSpeedStand, change value to a smaller number for slower walking (I used a value of 2.0)

15. Change maxSpeedSneak, maxSpeedCrawl, backwardsSpeedScale and sprintSpeedScale if you want

16. Save

17. Put the PlayerConfig.xml file into your mod folder\Ark\Player

18. Zip up your mod folder (you can Winzip for this)

19. Rename it patch_yourmodname.pak

20. Put your .pak file in Prey\GameSDK\Precache (along side the original patch.pak)

21. Start a new game and your walk speeds have changed.

OR

Download my mod: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xwgpk51jdzeiqs/patch_DMay_Prey_Nice.zip?dl=0

I left comments in the files so you can see what I changed.

Because I changed the walk speeds I also changed the Conditioning ability upgrade so it doesn't modify walk speeds (now it only adds more health and stamina). You can upgrade Mobility I and II if you want - these WILL change your walk speeds though so they might be undesireable. I also changed the text string for the Conditioning upgrade to remove the stuff about movement speeds, since it doesn't do that now.

I also made the flashlight beam larger.
