Mutant Inventory

Overview

IMPORTANT

Status: Supported
Minimum Version: 1.0

This feature allows mutants to have an inventory and carry items in it, similar to the mechanic from the original games "Shadow of Chernobyl" (SoC) and "Clear Sky" (CS)

Enabling the Feature

To activate the mutant inventory system, you need to change the global parameter in the engine configuration.

Usage Example:

Open the engine_external.ltx file and in the [gameplay] section set the parameter EnableMonstersInventory to true.

[gameplay]
; ... other parameters ...
EnableMonstersInventory = true ; true - enable inventory, false - disable

Configuring Item Spawn

For a mutant to carry items in its inventory, you need to add special parameters to its configuration file

Parameter	Type	Description
Spawn_Inventory_Item_Section	string	The item section that will be spawned in the inventory. Supports multi-spawn via comma
Spawn_Inventory_Item_Probability	float	The probability (from 0.0 to 1.0) that the item will be spawned

Usage Example:

; Mutant config (e.g., m_boar.ltx)
[m_boar_e]
...
Spawn_Inventory_Item_Section = mutant_boar_leg
Spawn_Inventory_Item_Probability = 1

Configuring Psi-Dog Phantoms

Added the ability to define a custom section for psi-dog phantoms via the phantom_section parameter. This allows you to override the default phantom with your own section

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
phantom_section	string	The section from which phantoms are spawned	psy_dog_phantom

Usage Example:

For a psi-dog to spawn phantoms from your own section, specify its name in the mutant config.

Usage Example:

[psy_dog]
phantom_section		= my_custom_phantom ; Using a custom section for phantoms
