About this mod

Gives basic close quarter combat habilities to NPCs. Now before holstering their weapons and changing to meele mode, they might throw a kick or hit you with their gun first or apply special moves.

So you get close to an NPC, and somehow they decide it's a good idea to expose themselves completely and holster their gun instead of hitting you with it. That does not make sense so this is my attempt to improve that dynamic.


All human NPCs have  a chance, when in combat, to throw some moves when the enemy is close. It doesn't matter if it's currently holding a weapon or not.

Makes melee combat more realistic and difficult. If you don't focus on block and dodge, you won't be on your feet for much longer. The chance of move excecution depends on each NPC Strength, Aggression, Agility and Unarmed stats.

You can block their moves, but stronger NPCs might break your defense.

Strength stat will reduce damage for blocked blows, Endurace stat will reduce the damage and staggering chance of direct blows.


New
 Stonewall perk will reduce your staggering chance, drop weapon chance, etc..

New Khan Trick: Great Khans NPC's will be able to perform their distinctive move. Originally they're supposed to throw dust, but I didn't find a good effect for that, so now they use some kind of rudimentary firework to blind their enemies and play dirty (only way to survive in the wasteland).



Check teh config file Martialize.ini to:
- Avoid FPS drops on crowded places (crowdlimit). 
- Reduce staggering chance when hit (lessStaggering).


Current moves are:

  • Kick!
  • Several one handed punches with/without weapon
  • Palm Strike: This one has a highaer chance of defense break and knocking the enemy down, even for weak characters, but requires higher unarmed stat.
  • Brahmin Push: Only if they caught the enemy from behind.
  • Ranger Takedown: Only rangers (somehow Sunny knows that move too). You can dodge it by jumping.
  • Legion Assault: Only Legion soldiers (somehow Joe Cobb is inlcuded too). You can block it but dodge is recommended.
  • Khan Trick: Only Great Khans (somehow Barton Thorn knwos this technique as well). Won't damage health but will reduce victims perception for a short time and produce staggering unless you wear glasses!



Comments and suggestion are welcome.
