Revamped Pursuit System (MW)





This mod aims to improve the Pursuit System of the game by making chases more engaging over the Vanilla counterpart. Difficulty is increased, but with balance still in check to keep the Police from being overpowered.
Full Credits goes to Frexellia , giving me permission to use his v0.6 mod as a basis which can be found here: Link

Even with an uninstall script included, I still recommend backing up your GLOBAL folder.

Featured in KuruHS' NFS Marathon 2020, you can check them out here:
Part 1 Part 2

Compatible mods:

Notes:
- Make sure to choose the correct installation option when installing the BCM version. If mistakes were made, simply close Vlted without saving then reopen it again. Redo the install process afterwards.
- No plans of adding Rhino only roadblocks in Heats 8-10, as the game will sometimes bug out if implemented.
- Installation of Frexellia's Restored Unused Cops Data is not required as it is already included in this mod.
- You are allowed to add any other addon cops not fully supported in this mod. Just make sure you know what you're doing in order to properly spawn them in-game.
- Will NOT work with modloader.

Features:
- Reworked difficulty.
- Shorter backup time, longer cooldown time.
- Faster catch up of cops even at lower heat levels.
- Roadblocks and spike strip frequency increased.
- Increased units engaging per heat level.
- Increased cop patrols roaming around the city.
- Faster response time upon starting a pursuit.
& many more!

Heat Levels: (Vanilla/Beta Content)
1: Civic Cruisers
2: Undercover Civic Cruisers
3: State Cruisers, Light SUV Rhinos & Air Support unit (BCM Only).
4: Undercover State Cruisers, Heavy SUV Rhinos & Air Support Unit.
5: Federal Cruisers, Heavy SUV Rhinos and Air Support Unit.
6: Civic Cruisers, Heavy SUV Rhinos & Air Support Unit. (To match with the final cutscene)
7: Undercover Federal Cruisers, Heavy SUV Rhinos & Air Support Unit.
8: Civic Cruisers, State Cruisers, Federal Cruisers & Air Support Unit.
9: Undercover Civic Cruisers, Undercover State Cruisers, Undercover Federal Cruisers & Air Support Unit.
10: Federal Cruisers, Federal Undercover Cruisers, Heavy SUV Rhinos & Air Support Unit.
(Note: BCM Users using Beta-like heat settings are not affected)

Vlted 4.6 is required for installing the mod. Get it here: Link
Extra Options for MW is also required for full experience. Set the values HeatLevelOverride to 1 and PursuitActionMode to 1. Get it here: Link

Optional features:
  • Slower Cop Bust - simply takes the cops more time to bust you. For players who can't handle the overall difficulty of the pursuits . Don't get too comfy though, they can still bust you if not careful.
  • Cross in Heat 10 - makes Cross part of the Heat level lineup similar to Frexellia's pursuit mod. Replaces Heavy Rhinos upon installing.
  • NIS Cruisers in pursuits - adds cruisers only seen in busted cutscenes to Heat levels 1-3 (up to 2 if using BCM's heat setting). It doesn't replace any cop vehicles in the lineup.
  • Weightless cops (Pepega v2.0) - as the title suggests, restores original weights of Police vehicles from the Pepega Edition.
  • Smackable Spike Strips - simply makes them act like destructible props in-game. You can just simply knock them off and won't puncture your tires.
  • Goodboygamer's Addon cops (Vanilla) - simply adds and rebalance his cop vehicles (Dodge Charger SRT8, Hummer H1 Alpha) for the mod, more will be explained inside the zip.
  • Extended Tollbooth time (Vanilla) - adds more time upon start of a Tollbooth event in Challenge series. Since many of the events are almost impossible to complete due to roadblocks when pursued.

These features can be uninstalled and reverted back to mod defaults.

Updating the mod:
If the previous version of the mod is already installed, select the Update option in the main script. Alternatively you can run the uninstall script from the last version of the mod you installed, then run a full install on the latest version.

Bugs:
  • Air Support in Heat levels 8-10 will only spawn during cooldown mode due to game limits. But it does chase you down when spotted. (Vanilla/Beta Content)
  • Cop blips on radar sometimes tend to disappear due to game limit of blips, it's more noticeable in levels 8-10.
  • In rare occasions, the amount of cops spawning on-screen may decrease (ex. spawning 4 cops at a time instead of 7) for some reason. Though it doesn't happen often.
  • Modified Light Rhinos (Heat 3) and Civic Cruisers (Heat 6) will not display their combo bounty indicator. This can be fixed with the use of the latest Unlimiter, more details explained inside the zip.
  • Due to the nature of the mod, chances of getting 'Pure Virtual Function call' error will be increased during pursuits. I highly recommend installing GrimMaples' MWfixes script. Get it here: Link
    If crashes still occurs, you can run the Mwfixes crash fix included in the zip. Note that this will disable the semi trucks ingame except in drag races.
    (Fix not included in BCM and HPC as per request of the author. For Pepega users, it's not needed)

For those Who want the vehicle Weights to be Vanilla again and not Heavy af, Boot up "NFS-VltEd" and do the Following:

1. Open the NFS Game directory as instructed by the program
2. Go to the "pvevehicle" tab in the directory on the left-hand side, got to "Default" > "Cars" > "Cops" and INCREASE the "MASS" property of the "Cops" tab, and each cop vehicle to 2200 (Sounds counter-intuitive, but It seems to be a Division number and not a multiplier)
3. Save your changes in the "file" Menu

RavenRGH (December 11, 2023 @ 02:01)
TL;DR:
There should be an optional feature to restore the original weight for all units, (Especially for Cross at heat 10.)

What I hate with this mod is that it increases the weight of all units which makes the game unfun, especially when engaging a roadblock or box formation like how the units don't flip anymore even if you hit the hood/back of the unit at high speeds and instead slow you down.

update on the only civic cars bug. I reinstalled into vanilla I fixed it

ApexLTU (June 28, 2023 @ 11:49)
so I installed the beta/content revamped pursuit mode. Everythings fine, but no matter the heat lvl its only civic cruisers and rhinos at heat 3.
