Ankle-Support for The Long Dark

This is a mod for The Long Dark by Hinterland Studio, Inc.

It is based on Ankle-Support ported by zeobviouslyfakeacc and originally made by WulfMarius. Special thanks to them for all their contributions!

Description

Sprains in The Long Dark are based on slope. A common sprain risk is can be around 30%. The base game calculates certain factors to it, like sprinting or crouching, and when you are over-encumbered or exhausted. However, they added a total amount of 0.3% for over-encumbered or exhausted instead of the supposed 30%. So basically there is no penalty for being exhausted or over-encumbered a the moment. This mod fixes the problem with new configurable options in the mod settings. In addition to this and with the permission of zeobviouslyfakeacc I added all the functionality of ankle-support and made them also configurable. I.e. you can now add wrist protection and ankle protection to gloves or boots, respectively.

Settings

There are four new settings in the Mod Options:

• Ankle/ Wrist Support

  • Boot Toughness Factor: (Vanilla = 0, Recommended = 2)

    This value specifies how much each boot protection value reduces the ankle sprain probability percentage.

  • Glove Toughness Factor: (Vanilla = 0, Recommended = 4)

    This value specifies how much each glove protection value reduces the wrist sprain probability percentage.

• Sprain Probability

  • Over-Encumbrance: (Vanilla = 0, Recommended = 3)

    How much every kg of additional weight gets added to the sprain probability when the player is over-encumbered.

  • Exhausted: (Vanilla = 0.3, Recommended = 30)

    How much gets added to the sprain probability when the player is exhausted.
