GTFriendlyO

Description:

A major overhaul to vanilla GTFO's gameplay, designed to bring more depth WITHOUT sacrificing the fun & engaging experience with friends.

As a long-time GTFO player, I've felt the base game lacked a bit of variety in many aspects of its gameplay. So, this mod focuses on creating a more unique co-op experience WITHOUT removing all of the tension or challenge from the game.

This is NOT a hardcore or hyper-realism mod setup, nor will it ever be. Instead, it makes GTFO more accessible by giving players several new options with reworked systems to add depth. Theorycraft a team composition and tackle the depths! The enemies have also received much needed upgrades from their vanilla counterparts.

Play together or die together! And don't be afraid to share your experiences with me on Github or on GTFO modding discord. And most importantly, good luck have fun!

Inspiration: FriendlyGTFO by EcoLight and Duo Trials by ProjectZaero

Dev Note: I took the syringe customization settings from Duo Trials to reverse engineer how it was made. I have made major changes, but the overall credit should still be given to ProjectZaero. Check the wiki for more information.

Important:

• This is a script heavy mod pack with tons of changes done to the base game. Those with low-end PCs should lower their settings to LOW. I also highly recommend you let someone with a strong PC and/or decent internet to be hosting.

• Please note that this is a modpack; not a plugin. Check the status and future content in the wiki for updates. Stay tuned & check here!

  • General Thread on Github Link
  • Enemy Balance Thread on Github Link
  • Class Balance Thread on Github Link
  • Weapon Balance Thread on Github Link

• With the addition of keybind-based triggers that came along with v2.3.0. PLEASE check the EWC(ExtraWeaponCustomization) config and change the keybind to YOUR settings. I am aware that not everyone have keypads for their keyboards.

  • Go to Edit Config within Thunderstore client -> Search for ExtraWeaponCustomization.cfg -> Edit Config -> Change keybinds 1 through 4 under Keybind Settings section
  • Be advised that any keybind changes might reset with each update.

• It has come to my attention with bots being broken in the lobby that prevents dropping down a rundown(fixed in v2.3.1+). Caused by bots having weapons/tools that have been changed and it is loading something that doesn't exist. What you can do:

  • Install NoBrokenBotGear mod by JarheadHME if using pre-v2.3.1 version
  • Delete the BotGear.json file within BepInEx/GameData/Favorites/Botgear.json of your profile.
  • Or search the file in Edit Config and delete the file.
  • Or try to change the gear before the bot disappears within the lobby(unreliable).

Major Changes:

Players:

• Increased base Health: 25.0 -> 60.0
• Increased base Regen Cap: 20% -> 30%
• Increased Regen Delay after Damage: 5.0s -> 10.0s
• Increased Regen Delay: 1.0s -> 5.0s
• Increased Regen per Second: 0.2 -> 1.0
• Increased Friendly Fire Damage: 50% -> 80%
• Increased Fall Damage Min/Max Height: 4.0m/20.0m -> 6.0m/30.0m
• Increased Fall Min/Max Damage: 2.0/15.0 -> 10.0/40.0
• Increased base Walk/Sprint/Crouch/Ladder Spd. and Footstep Length by 0.5-1.0
• Increased Slide Distance: 1.0m -> 4.0m
• Reworked Stamina Cost across the board. Overall, higher cost in combat but faster regen out of combat.
• Different starting ammo and cap based on class system.
• Different ammo/medipack supply efficiency based on class system.
• Decreased base Hacking Proficiency to -20%
• Increased base Infection Resistance to +20%
• Going down will inflict a 10% infection penalty.
  • It can be resisted with booster effects or cleansed with disinfection.

Dev Note: These changes are to make the players die a little slower as well as significantly benefit from booster effects. I also want to emphasize that while it's harder to get punished, but it's a lot more profound.

Classes:

• All classes have distinct roles with pros and cons. There is no levelling system, all classes get their stats at the start.
• Meant to be played with 2+ players.
• All classes can deal damage, some do it better than others. Boosters/Syringes can be used to further buff or debuff attributes.
• Damage roles are classes that specialize mainly dishing out damage, but they tend to be more fragile.
• Tank roles are classes that specialize in taking damage while also dishing out some of their own, but they tend to be on the slow side.
• Support roles are classes that specialize in helping the team, but they lack either offensive or defensive capabilities.

Dev Note: B-Company Division is meant to be joke classes; balance or realism is not the focus. So have fun with them.

CLASS	ROLE	DIVISION	STRENGTHS	WEAKNESSES
Marine	Damage	Combat	Accurate; mid-to-long range; consistent damage; bleed immunity	Low melee armor & damage

Quartermaster	Tank	Support	High ammo efficiency; strong starting ammo; high HP regen cap	Very slow movement speed; low damage (except with MGs)
Specialist	Support	Support	Effective & efficient with all tools and items	Low max gun ammo capacity; no offensive benefits
Field Technician	Damage	Support	Stronger & faster sentries; fast terminal & hacking skills	Low base damage (melee & ranged); low starting ammo

Courier	Damage	B-Company	Strong damage potential with precision-based weapons, Auto Bio-Tag	Very poor resistance to Infection/Explosion/Bullet/Bleed with lowered max ammo

Weapons:

• All of the Main and Special weapons have either been overhauled, reworked or tweaked.
• Muzzle flash has been mostly removed as my friends and I are photosensitive.
• Significant changes were made to create synergies between weapons and classes.
• Promotes more diverse team compositions with unique build synergies.
• Silence CC does not mean silent weapon, it's the capability to temporarily disable some enemy abilities such as non-boss tongues.
• DoT stands for Damage-over-Time effect that deals damage based on ticks per second.
• Reserve Ammo means there is no reloading, as the weapon utilizes the whole ammo reserve.

Dev Note: Significant changes were made to guns to make them less meta-chasing and more fun-chasing. There isn't really a "meta" weapon nor will I ever make one. Each gun has a specific niche or role to play. One gun might be very strong in a couple rundowns while being useless in others. Diversify the player's options is my design philosophy here.

Melee:

• All four melee types have been reworked to be more distinct from each other.
• Sledgehammers and Bats are meant for players who prefer loud encounters.
• Knives and Spears are meant for players who prefer quiet engagements.
• You can parry all melee and projectiles, but you cannot parry the CC itself. For example, a Giant Striker can still pull you even though you parried the tentacle.

Dev Note: Parrying projectiles allows you to send them back towards your crosshair.

TYPE	ROLE	TRAITS	STRENGTHS	WEAKNESSES
Sledgehammer	Loud	Armor Shred Debuff & Stamina Regen	High Heavy Damage & Stagger Multplier	High Stamina Cost, & Sluggish
Knives	Silent	Bleed Damage	High Stealth/Backstab Damage & Fast Spd.	Low Base Damage & Short Range
Spears	Silent	Bio-Tag & Armor Pierce & Lunge	High Hitbox Range & Precision Multiplier	High Stamina Cost, & Long Charge Time
Bats	Loud	Stagger Explosive Kills	High Light Damage & Low Stamina Cost	Low Precision/Stealth Damage, & Low Heavy Damage

Tools:

• Most tool gear & items have received some tweaks. Overall increase in carrying capacity for items and sentry ammo.

Dev Note: The ResourceStacking mod will be an important upgrade for consumables. A huge collection of turrets and tools should allow players to think about what to bring. Instead of brining the same 2-3 tools in every rundown. Now you must weigh your options in each rundown.

SENTRIES	RANGE	QUIRKS	STRENGTHS	WEAKNESSES
Burst Turret	Medium	Burst fire, shot delays cause leaks in defense	Consistent Damage, & Reliable	Easily Overwhelmed & Requires Sufficient Space
Auto Turret	Medium	Holds choke points, but wastes a lot of bullets	High Stagger Damage, & High Ammo Cap	Poor Accuracy, & Very Ammo Hungry
Sniper Turret	Long	Alt. to snipers, but fires at tagged targets ONLY	Very High Single-target Damage, & Ammo Efficient	Poor Defense, & Long Setup
Shotgun Turret	Short	Destroys Choke Points, but struggles w/open rooms	High Close Damage, & CTRL+ALT+DEL choke points	Placement Dependent, & Quite Ammo Hungry
Missile Turret	Long	Large AoE, shoots at tagged ONLY, friendly fire	High AoE Damage, great crowd control	Very Placement Dependent, & Low Ammo Count

C-Foam Mines	Short	Tripwire mines, C-foam payload	High C-Foam payload count, No friendly fire	No Damage, terrain & placement dependent
Flamethrower	Medium	Large flames and explosive kills that apply DoTs	Solid DoT Damage, Stagger, and crowd control	Low Direct Damage, & long time to kill
RYN0 Annihilator	Long	Very long shot delay(30s), explosion rounds	Large Radius, very high AoE damage	Extremely low ammo, & very easy friendly fire

Enemies:

• All enemies have had their base and limb health increased to keep them balanced against the players' new power scaling.
• Minimum base health increase of 20.0 while larger elites and bosses received a massive health increase.
• Each Enemy/Variant received new quirks to improve their strengths and solidify their identities.
• Some names were changed to keep a consistent identification. For example: Shooter -> Needler

Dev Note: To combat the changes in power scaling, the enemies have been improved as well. I have gave them newer abilities and quirks that befit their "character" to enhance the overall gameplay. They are no longer just simple bullet sponges, but actual enemies with mechanics that compliment each other during hordes. Do not underestimate them now!

ENEMIES	ABILITIES/TRAITS	NOTES
Strikers	Higher HP, but less damage	N/A, just punch'em.
Needlers(Shooter)	Stronger overall damage, but more fragile	N/A, just shoot'em.
Strikers Giants	Tongue grabs player to its melee range; cannot parry the pull, but can counter with timed double jump during pull	Loves pulling teammates out of bioscans, either kill quickly or disable(Medic Gun or Foam).
Scouts	EMP(47.5s) after scream, invul. during EMP wind-up; Longer feelers, but visible	EMPs disable most electronics. Counter with the Specialist class!
Birther	Increased HP; Birth children on death that explodes	Kill the babies first, then kill the mother fast.
Stalkers(Snatcher/Pouncer)	Snatched players take damage & Fast Dashes but long CDs; glue immune	Takes longer to kill and can kill players now. They should not be ignored.
Giant & Bloom Needlers	Inflicts bleed(50% Chance) for 10.0% max HP damage over 10.0s; nonstackable	They are high-priority targets otherwise the team will suffer major damage.
Flyers	Fires explosive projectiles for 5% damage over 2.0m to 4.0m	Shoot them down quicky before they inflict too much AoE damage.
Tanks	Significant increase in HP & high knockback; door buster	Significantly longer to kill, their knockback is annoying, and don`t close doors on them.

• Variants will still have their traits and abilities listed above while also having extra perks mentioned below.

VARIANTS	TRAITS
Giant	Signficantly increased health and stagger resistance
Charger	HP Regen(80% Cap) if not damaged within 5 seconds, damage resets timer
Nightmare	Inflicts infection on all attacks & scout screams
Shadow	Infected fog spheres on death, slightly increased Tag time by 3s
Child	Explode on death, can cause a chain reaction

Boosters:

• Boosters have been completely reworked.
• All Boosters have infinite usage. Artifacts will no longer spawn on rundowns.
• Booster buffs and debuffs stack additively with other effects such as the class system, unless said otherwise.
• Muted Boosters will have the lowest benefits, but no drawbacks.
• Bold Boosters require the player to meet specific conditionals to activate.
• Aggressive Boosters will bring the most drawbacks, but stack well with the other two boosters.
• You should never use Aggressive Boosters by themselves and require both Bold and Muted to get a positive tradeoff. Of course, you can take the safe route and only use Muted and/or Bold.

Dev Note: These booster changes create a new layer of risk v.s. reward to the classes. Their names should reflect the state of the player's confidence in their playstyle.

Syringes:

• The two vanilla syringes have been altered for better use cases.
• Added several new syringes that might spawn on several rundowns based on their spawn weight.
• Check the wiki to see what each does! Some are straightforward while others are weird.

Recommended Mods:

• This mod most likely will NOT be compatible with other custom Rundowns or modpacks that changes the same datablocks. You must merge the appropriate datablocks yourself to apply compatibility. Even then, many of the pack's features working correctly can be questionable.

• Can be played Vanilla with other mods with this mod-pack, especially with client-side mods. It's recommended to use several bug fix mods to prevent further issues with GTFO. But it's up to the players if they want them or not. It's not necessary to add them in. List: Thunderstore wiki link

Dev Note: These are recommended, but not needed. Some of these mods will have configs that might be packaged with the mod-pack, but not the mod itself. These aren't necessary, but nice to have on the list.

• Recommend to check out the_tavern's AutogenRundown mod, especially AFTER you have finished GTFO's vanilla rundowns. It provides new rundowns generated daily, weekly, monthly, and each season. Automatic Rundown generation, using procedural seed based generation!

  • Additional work might be required to achieve better compatibility. Some features from GTFriendlyO or AutogenRundown may or may not work well with each other.

• LobbyExpansion modHere has been reported to me that it does work. But keep in mind that the game's performance will start taking a hit after 4 players.
