Completely removes Howlers from daytime streets and disables Virals spawning when you are just minding your business. Virals will still spawn from making noise.

I can't begin to tell you how annoyed I feel about this change where during the day Howlers are guarding every street corner and Virals are popping out to attack you while you're just taking a stroll or when you are simply smacking some biters/bandits. I absolutely hate it. (Seriously Techland wtf?) Thus I wanted to make this mod to spare my sanity.
This mod has only been tested in Old Villedor, but it should work in the Downtown area as well. I am hoping to find a way to mod out the Virals spawning from simply attacking something with melee weapons - if I find out how to do that I will update this mod. I've tried to find a way to disable the noise caused via melee weapons, but I couldn't find a way despite spending hours on it. Here's hoping someone will find a way to do that in the future, because disabling Virals spawning from all noise sources is not a good solution imo.
Drop the data2.pak in installdir/ph/source. You can change the number up to 7 if you already have a data2.pak file.
