About this mod
I overhauled the Human NPC Combat Actions. I wanted them to be more varied and try to give them the appearance of more intelligence . Sequences for advancing, cover fire, lookout, suppression, flank, escape, evade actions. They have some conditions that change them depend on fail chance percentages. This also helps with de-aggression in A-Life mods

It Puts The Flashlight On The Head
Jan 12 -- Update
Refinements to Cover Eval cfg. Hopefully they'll stop bobbing around more than they shoot. Also increased some movement speeds by small amounts to improve their responsiveness.
Jan 1 -- Update Released!!!
Well I started over, only taking some core bits and pieces from the previous version. This version turns off nearly all their sync behavior so they'll be fairly independent. I've made some changes to encourage them to use cover and shoot from cover as they advance. They will also attempt to retreat to cover when some conditions are met. Flanking was adjusted. The slow walk shooting should happen less. Quite a few other changes, but I'll leave some of it as a surprise.
Hope you enjoy!

If you had existing mods and are loading new or updated mods follow these steps.
There is a very good chance based on testing, that mod changes will not load the first time. They will instead be either ignored or load past mod changes if they affected the same cfg files.

This has been tested quite a bit with Shay's Living Zone. It will work for vanilla and other A-Life mods as well. Maklane's Better Gunfights & Better Zone are also compatible. You might also want to check out my recently updated Instant Long Range Aggression Fix
1.0.1 - Tweak to Lookout action cover variable to help with lost NPCs that happen sometimes.
I overhauled the Human NPC Combat Actions. I wanted them to be more varied and try to give them the appearance of more intelligence . Sequences for advancing, cover fire, lookout, suppression, flanking, escape, evade, cover actions. They have some conditions that change them depend on fail chance percentages, distance to/from their target, and how much damage they been afflicted. This also helps with de-aggression in A-Life mods by having a precent change of them forgetting you when behind cover. This increases the longer you're out of sight. They will try to search the last place they saw you.
Future Plans:
I will be making more improvements in the near future. If you have some suggestions let me know. There are limits for what I have access to in the configs. I also need to keep an eye on performance impact. Too many variations/conditions could lower FPS. So I'll be trying to keep a balance. I may also look into modify the Mutant Combat Actions. I have not played past Rostok yet, so I haven't experienced all their behaviors yet. I will probably start with the Blind Dogs just streaming in one by one. I'd rather they split and flank and try to attack from all angles like real wild dogs/pack animals.
