===Death Awaits Mod for Hitman: WOA Trilogy===
===Version 2.0 Official Release 3===

All in all, a lot of it is self-explanatory. Overall, you should expect the AI to be much more attentive, especially in regard to their HEARING and seeing. Combat is also much more deliberate and "fast". Lastly, weapons hurt a lot more (for both you and the NPCs). No more "cheese tactics" or other such things, this is meant for serious and creative (sometimes funny) playstyles. Hitman WOA is an immersive sim, after all (depending on how you define an "imsim").

Also, it doesn't matter what difficulty you play on, all the "values" are the same across difficulties. So, the pistols will hurt the same whether on professional (the difficulty for ETs, non-hardcore Freelancer, and such) or master. This was done to make ETs, non-hardcore Freelancer, and Escalations much more challenging, amongst other things.

Furthermore, there are a lot more EDP_ values (not present in the *.repo files, but in *.bricks) that are now changed in the new 2.0 version of DAW.
This mod is not necessarily for those who like "speedrunning" or using a variety of "cheese" tactics. It's meant for slow and methodical play. Of course, if you still wish to speedrun/cheese, you can; I'd personally love to see it :-)

Lastly, please do not expect this mod to magically "fix" ALL the issues with the AI. They still have their trademark Hitman goofiness. However, from my observations/playtests, they are *a lot sharper* than usual.

Uploading videos/shorts of this mod is 100% endorsed. I need stuff to watch when I'm bored...
(See the SPECIFICS for more technical info)
Most importantly: Enjoy and have fun!

Install with Simple Mod Framework (SMF). Best to load it last or as low as possible in your load order.

Incompatible with the following mods (NOT a complete list): -
Realistic AI (all versions): Funnily enough, this mod is heavily based on RAI's Manhunt (and a bit of Extreme) version.
Realistic Gunfights: Every gun in that mod hurts 4.0 TIMES as much, DAW is a bit forgiving in combat terms but by no means lenient.
Unlimited Saves on Master Mode: The changes from that mod are already in DAW.
Project Realism - Codename 47

Credits/Special Thanks: -
Atampy26: - Original inspiration for this mod and helping to understand some of the EDP_ parameters. Also, the modding tools.
IOI: - For uh...developing one of the jankiest, yet fun (albeit frustrating at times) game.
The Glacier2 modding discord: - For help, assistance, and feedback.

Bit of context: As of 2023, I've been working on this mod on and off for about 2 years [since 2021] (give or take) due to wanting more of a challenge from the dismal AI in this game (even on Master difficulty mode). As mentioned above, a lot of inspiration for this mod is from Atampy26's Realistic AI mod (mainly the manhunt version) and I started to build off from there. First it was the EDP_ values in the repository .json file. Much later (a few months back), I started dabbling with the globaldata .brick to improve the mod and make it more consistent so the changes "stick". I did release a few versions on the Glacier2 modding discord. You can find my posts there, but I don't recommend downloading those versions. They're definitely broken and outdated.
Future plans: Honestly, I'm happy with the mod as it is and I likely won't be changing much (unless there's good reason to do otherwise), depending on feedback and how much I know. Because TBH, there's a lot I simply don't understand about some of the values I edited.

Use with other mods/projects: Feel free to remix it, mess with the values (as you see fit), suggest edits, and so on. Give credit where credit is due. DOWNLOAD THIS MOD FROM EITHER FROM NEXUSMODS OR THE GLACIER2 DISCORD.

Changelog:
2.0.R1: Initial release (broken thanks to misconfigured tools). Thanks to @Notex and @Atampy26 for helping get the tools set up properly.
2.0.R2: Fixed all the issues (for real this time) and made some tiny changes here and there- nothing much to worry about (hopefully!).
2.0.R3: Significant increase to certain values, numeric edits/fixes for consistency, and addition of optional modules (see the discord thread to get an idea of what's been changed). Added experimental adjustments to NPCs' view range (maybe). Lemme know if you notice a difference. Potential fix for weird crashing that happens under specific circumstances- basically a reversion of the eCI_ values to the original 1.0 aka 100%.

MODULES included:
MAIN: Keep this one on, it's the main part of the mod- all the AI edits and stuff.
Master Lite: Enables disguise ruining and maybe extra cams on non-master difficulty modes.
Door Picker: Makes all keycard hacking tools unlimited use- basically, "lockpicks" for keycard doors.

SPECIFICS (technical info, not really important unless you're really interested in that sort of thing):-
(A total of 400-ish game parameters changed/edited, lots of these EDifficultyParameter_ values duplicate in the *.brick and *.repo file; see the *.json files to get an idea)
