[MOD]Liberal Overhaul+Rebalance
Taberone:
The Liberal Overhaul and Rebalance mod intends to overhaul LCS and rebalance existing elements.
Download it here. Drag and drop into your "art" folder, but make a backup of it first. Check the ModdingChanges.Txt file that comes with the files, as it is a readme and contains the FULL list of changes that would not fit on this forum post. Intended for use with LCS 4.12.41 and higher, not Terra Vitae (sorry). This is still a work in progress.
Primary Features:
CQC Rebalance
In vanilla LCS, assault rifles were the ultimate weapon, and the other guns weren't really worth using much. That has changed.
Weapons are rebalanced around close-quarters combat. Pistols, shotguns, and SMGs have accuracy bonuses while rifles get accuracy penalties to represent how unwieldy they are in close quarters. Carbines get reduced accuracy penalties in comparison to full-size rifles. In addition, all rifles have nerfed critical hit chances.
Non-rifles are significantly more viable than in vanilla LCS. It is also harder to land successive hits on a target with burst weapons, as many weapons have increased successive attack difficulties to simulate recoil.
Melee, Firearms as Clubs, and Molotovs have received armor piercing buffs to slightly offset their uselessness. Firearms as Clubs have also received damage buffs.
Reduced Instant Death
Random damage has been rebalanced to be less insane, reducing the frequent occurrences of getting instantly killed by a .38 or 9mm handgun. Guns do less random damage, but more fixed damage. Single shots are more survivable.
Integrated Changes from Liberal Additions
This mod aims to be a continuation of the Liberal Additions mod. Changes from Liberal Additions will be included.
More Weapons and Ammo
Additional weapon variety for LCS. From Brass Knuckles to M14's to MG42's, there are a wider range of weapons available that will be purchasable in stores or used by Conservatives.
AA-12 Overhaul
AA-12 has been buffed. It uses slug rounds for increased Armor Piercing, and a 20-round drum magazine. Unfortunately, this precludes the sharing of ammo with other shotguns due to how "clips" work in LCS.
MP5 Buff
Mag size increased to 30
Syringe and Flamethrower
Syringe causes bleeding and the Flamethrower is legal until gun laws become Liberal. Why? Because flamethrowers are somehow less regulated than marijuana in the US.
Certain melee weapons do NOT protect against kidnapping anymore:
Torch
Guitar
Spraycan
Cross
Chain
Syringe
More melee weapons can take hostages quietly:
Baseball Bat
Crowbar
Dwarven Hammer
Maul
Firearms that can now fit under a trenchcoat (Size 10)
M4 Carbine
Melee Weapons that can now fit under a trenchcoat (Size 10):
Katana
Sword
Baseball Bat
Axe
Nightstick
Maul
Melee Weapons that can now hit twice:
Crowbar
Katana
Sword
Staff
Melee Weapons that can now hit 3x:
Nightstick
Spraycan
New Weapons
Currently, many weapons reuse vanilla game ammunition. Due to the wide variety of magazine capacities and calibers, adding in all of them individually would take forever and add unnecessary bloat. Unfortunately, this will mean that some weapons have incorrect magazine capacities in the interest of sharing ammunition. This is in part because a 9mm SMG mag and a 9mm Pistol mag are incompatible in LCS, for example. They cannot share ammo.

Heh, I actually like the one-shot kills, so I'm not offended at all :)

--- End quote ---
One-shot kills to the torso from .38 revolvers and 9mms is a bit ridiculous to me, personally. Combat being extremely lethal due to RNG damage also means that Liberals pretty much never get arrested or crippled, since they'll usually just die outright. I kinda wish incapacitation, rather than instant death, was more common in LCS. There isn't much of an incapacitation system in LCS, unless your spine breaks. Being "Badly Wounded" or below isn't really incapacitated, since you can still move.
Something like going below zero health incapacitating, but going below -50 health killing would be neat.

SlatersQuest:
I have to agree that the combat system isn't that realistic, and have been planning (on back burner) on doing something about it.
A one-hit insta-kill with a .38 revolver is pretty realistic, but a .38 revolver is not a reliable one-hit insta-kill weapon except in the hands of a quite competent marksman. A hit to the chest from a .38 could realistically mean anything from instant death, instant incapacitation followed by death, instant incapacitation followed by recovery, non-incapacitation followed (later) by death, or even non-incapacitation followed by recovery.
That said, I do get liberals who are wounded being captured fairly regularly. The problem is the movement system, honestly - movement is dependent on the squad, and not on its members!
There is an issue that I'd like to discuss, actually, but it's off-topic for this mod, so I will make a new thread for it.
cdru:
I played with this mod and it's great. Armor actually helps and even unarmored characters don't die easily from gunshot wounds. The accuracy change made me use SMGs as primary weapons. A thing i found out is that the mod also makes it easier for lone liberals to fight groups of enemies
