SmartNPCOverhaul
Improves BONELAB NPC pursuit, combat, dodging and ragdoll recovery; includes experimental gun pickup.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.
