Smart NPC Overhaul

An experimental BONELAB MelonLoader mod that improves the game's existing NPCs.

Features

  • Improves NPC pursuit speed, turning, AI update cadence, ranged accuracy, and burst size.
  • Improves the built-in throwable attack behavior.
  • Attempts a short lateral dodge when a fast player hand is closing in.
  • Lets compatible NPCs grab a nearby, unheld gun grip.
  • Makes unpinned ragdolls softer and slows their return to a pinned/get-up state.

Requirements

  • BONELAB and MelonLoader 0.6.x (built and checked against MelonLoader 0.6.5).
  • BoneLib 3.2.2 or later.

Installation

Install the dependencies with a Thunderstore mod manager, then install this package. NPCs need BONELAB's standard AI, nav-agent, puppet, and Marrow grip components for the corresponding tweaks. Gun pickup is experimental and may not work with every NPC or weapon.

Test in a disposable sandbox save first. Ragdoll tuning can interact with other physics mods.
