Universal Wasteland Expansion - Time-delayed Stealthbuster

Description
This mod tones down the zealousness of guards and shopkeepers to bust all sneaking in Universal Wasteland Expansion. Shopkeepers and guards inside buildings (with a few exceptions) who sees you sneaking will give around 5 seconds for our characters to unsneak, or face terrible consequences.

Aside from this, once you become allies with the shopkeeper's (or guard's) faction, they will not bother you anymore while sneaking. In essence, this mod is time-delayed stealthbuster and disabled stealthbuster in one!

This mod did not change much from UWE except adding the five-second leeway for shopkeepers and guards and making appropriate dialogue for it. No original dialogue from vanilla or UWE was deleted in this mod. This is to ensure compatibility with other mods and ease of updating. This also means that I did not change the irritating behavior of town guards outside buildings. They will still pester you incessantly as you train your stealth.

This mod is obviously a rewrite of my Disabled Stealthbuster mod, so please just use this one or the other.

Please load this after Universal Wasteland Expansion.

Import is not required.

Credits to Metallumere for the time-delayed stealthbuster that worked for so long until the recent (June 2023) patches to UWE. The core of this mod is based on his idea.

The previous time-delayed stealthbuster mod was not working since 2023 according to its author, Metallumere. I didn't try to fix that one back then since I was using the disabled stealthbuster one, and that one was easier to fix.

Now that I had to update the disabled stealthbuster mod due to UWE 2.0 (June 2024) update, I checked if I can also fix this time-delayed stealthbuster one. It was more tedious than expected, but I still quite enjoyed it especially since most of the dialogues are of shopkeepers and I dealt with those extensively in a different mod I made.

Yeah I was using a mod that completely turned it off since the previous timer mod wasn't working after that update like you said (June 2024?). I like the idea of stealth being more punished but immediate combat is bogus imo.

@MrMcGreedy glad to help! I hope the five seconds are enough for you XD

Finally no more need for frantic saving if I’m even thinking about pressing the sneak button in a civilized area :praisesun:
