Enemy Consistency Fixes

The intention behind this modification is to maintain the vanilla experience whilst adding in missing sound effects, graphical effects and re-enabling any unused features which are still fully usable. Any enemy improvements that you'll find in the SS:SM release will also be included. Gibs and Debris have been reworked to work as originally intended, and decals have been updated to look more visually appealing.





(Due to the nature of this mod, stock enemy files are modified. However, due to the fact that it is stock files simply fixed/tweaked up, it should not break custom/stock maps under any circumstances. Any mods that also modify stock enemies might pose problems. Your mileage may vary at that point.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Useful Console Command Tweaks:

• "adq_fDebrisArThreshold = 1" or "2"
  By default, this console command is set to 0.5. From my tests, it seems that the higher the number is, the more aggressively the engine de-spawns existing debris to allow new debris to be spawned and active. This helps in cases where debris might not spawn or deactivates early due to hitting a debris limit. 1 is good for slightly more consistent debris with a small FPS drop, or 2 for consistent debris with a slight FPS drop.
  
  
• "adq_fDynamicDecalsArThreshold = 1" or "2"
  By default, this console command is set to 0.5. From my tests, it seems that the higher the number is, the more aggressively the engine de-spawns existing decals to allow new decals to be spawned and active. This is actually easier to notice than the debris since decals stay about for much longer. 1 is good for slightly more consistent decals with a small FPS drop, or 2 for consistent decals with a slight FPS drop.
  
  
• "adq_ctActionRatioMaxBodies = 600" or "1200"
  By default, this console command is set to 300. From my tests, it seems that the higher the number is, the less aggressively the engine disables ragdolls when there is either a lot of action or if they get enabled at larger distances. A higher value can solve problems with ragdolls disabling too quickly (especially noticeable when enemies die on hills). 600 is good for slightly more consistent ragdolls with a small FPS drop, or 1200 for almost persistent ragdolls with a slight FPS drop.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General:

• All enemy debris and gibs have been fully re-configured and work as originally intended! Debris is less likely to fall through the floor, and they now produce impact sound effects and generate blood decals.
  
• All new SM enemy destructions have been ported into SS4, with a few improvements/differences!
  
• A few cases of ragdolls not applying have been addressed. Ragdolls are now interactive by default for smaller enemies.
  
• Additional gore sounds for all enemies! Certain enemies will now have unique gibbing sounds. More variety, and more meaty sound effects!
  
• Broken enemy executions have been fixed (Beheaded heart execution comes to mind) and the Red-Mech + Blu-Mech executions are now back! Other enemy executions have been updated with new effects, sound effects and general polish.
  
• Netricsa has been overhauled! Enemies now produce particle effects and sounds inside of Netricsa.
  
• Red and Green blood decals have been updated to reflect light. No more matte decals! Decals in general now have a lot more consistency than before.

Enemies:

• Enemy firing animations got fixed and spruced up. For example, Adult Arachnoid's minigun now spins and the Khnum's preparing to fire/firing animation has been visually upgraded.
  
• Enemies (where applicable) had their destruction settings improved. Certain enemies will now gib using lower tier weaponry. Serious Rage will now also cause most weapons to create gibs.
  
• Enemies (where applicable) had almost all of their animations fixed up to play any missing/unused effects, sounds and shake events.
  
• Enemies (where applicable) had a few fixes applied to their general functioning. For example, missing wound textures are now back!
  
• Enemies (where applicable) had their unused content brought back. (like death animations, running animations, sound effects, wound animations etc.)
  
• Enemies (where applicable) had multiple additional sound effects added from the Siberian Mayhem release.
  
• Most (if not all) enemies had their execution animations fixed up.
  
• Most (if not all) enemies and their debris had their LOD ranges improved. Simply put, much smoother transitions between higher to lower quality models. Enemies can now also be seen slightly further away. This will help on lower CPU settings.
  
• And yes, Khnums have their signature "Ignition" sound back by default!

And many more improvements.

And to the Siberian Mayhem team for sounds + textures and other general fixes from the new release. Here's hoping they'll get ported to SS4 officially at some point!

Any brand new sound effects you get to hear were found on royalty free websites and mixed by me.
