No Overpowered Cops Online (Unite Remix and Others)

Compatible with vanilla and mods like Unite, Heat Remix, and Ultimate. Works Online & Offline. Contains changes to cops along with other things (modular)

This mod was created for those who want to have an easier time with cops whether they are struggling with Vanilla cops or because a mod they are using has increased their difficulty beyond their liking.

The mod is separated into different files in order to be modular and because certain files require choosing only one (ex: max cop speed and reputation rewards).

==== What each Mod File does ==============================
---- 1) No_Overpowered_Cops_Escalations.fbmod ------------
Max Decreased Cop Count from 4 to 3
Max Patrolling Cop Density from 8 to 3
Max Time Between Waves from 30 to 60
Min Maneuver Cool Down Time from 5 to 15

Most popular overhaul mods make changes to the following to increase the difficulty instead.

---- 2) No_Overpowered_Cops_Radar_Disruptors.fbmod ------------
Pro Radar Disruptor now available at level 5.
Elite Radar Disruptor now available at level 10.

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect the Radar Disruptor Passive Auxiliaries.

---- 3) No_Overpowered_Cops_Repair_Kits.fbmob ------------
Pro Repair Kit now available at level 5 and contains 5 repairs.
Elite Repair Kit now available at level 10 and contains 10 repairs.

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect the Repair Kit Active Auxiliaries.

---- 4) No_Overpowered_Cops_Max_Speed_XXX_MPH.fbmod (Choose only one!) ------------
The XXX determines the maximum MPH speed of the cops (in most cases).

This is probably the most important mod on this selection.

The available ranges include:
100mph, 110mph, 120mph, 130mph, 140mph, 150mph, 160mph, 170mph, 180mph, and 190mph.

For your reference in Vanilla Heat 3 and up cops have 200mph to 220mph limit.

This changes the maximum speed not the minimum.
On Vanilla (and this mod) the Heat 1 and 2 cops have a 120mph and 140mph limit.

Some overhaul mods increase the Heat 1 and 2 speeds to 180mph or more.

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect Cops.

---- 5) No_Overpowered_Cops_Cash_xX.fbmod (Does not work Online - Choose only one!) ------------
The xX determines the increased amount of Cash awarded from events and activities.

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect Cash rewards from events and activities.

---- 6) No_Overpowered_Cops_Reputation_xX.fbmod (Does not work Online - Choose only one!) ------------
The xX determines the increased amount of Reputation awarded from events and activities.

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect Reputation rewards from events and activities.

---- 7) No_Overpowered_Cops_Health_X.fbmob (Does not work Online - Choose only one!) ------------
The X determines the decreases the max health of cops by either 50% to the minimum allowed ~75% (Not on all cases).

Make sure this mod is lower on the Frosty Mod Manager list so it takes priority over other mods that effect Cops.

==== Possible Questions ==============================
Will I get banned for using these mods Online?
Highly unlikely as the game's last update occurred on 2020 (minus the server update on 2023) and no one has ever reported being banned for using mods online since then.

How are Cops balanced Online with others not using this mod?
Whomever owns the Cop is responsible for its stats. The initial stats are decided by whatever player causes the cop to spawn, and the ownership is changed by whomever the cop begins to pursuit first. If the cop begins a pursuit on an AI Racer it gets the stats of the owner of the AI Racer.

Does difficulty setting have any effect on the difficulty of Cops?
From what I read online no. Even with no mods the cops are NOT effected by the player's difficulty setting.

I am using a No_Overpowered_Cops_Max_Speed that is higher than 140MPH (ex: 160MPH) however I am still able to outrun cops going just above 140MPH?
Those mods change the maximum speed not the minimum. On Vanilla (and this mod) the Heat 1 and 2 cops already have a 120MPH and 140MPH limit.

My game crashes when I try to play Online?
Try removing all other mods and see if it works online. If it does then either one of your other mods does not work online or there is an incompatibility issue between the mods.

Do I need to use all mod files?
No only the ones you want as I made it modular.

Does the mod order matter?
Yes make sure these mods have higher priority than the other mods (lower on the list on Frosty Mod Manager).

How about the "No Overpowered Cops" mod order between each other?
No the NOC mod files can be in any order between each other as they do not impact each other.
