﻿LETHAL PURSUITS V3.0.1 - UPDATE NOTES

Bartender compatibility
-----------------------
- Updated NFSMWBartender.asi in every difficulty to Bartender v3.05.00.
- Migrated the included Bartender settings to the v3.05 configuration format.
- Renamed Basic\Supports.ini to Basic\Support.ini.
- Migrated [Supports:Rivals] to [Support:Rivals].
- Migrated [Vehicles:Strings] to [Vehicles:Notifications].
- Migrated the renamed pursuit-board tracking keys.
- Removed the obsolete Merciless Advanced\Supports.ini file.

Merciless [Veteran] rebalance
-----------------------------
- Reduced extreme high-Heat chaser counts and improved spawn clearance.
- Softened elite vehicle density while preserving the mixed Veteran spawn tables.
- Reduced passive Heat gain from deployments, roadblocks, wrecks, and collisions.
- Reworked helicopter spawn, respawn, fuel, distance, and ramming timings so it remains
  relentless without immediately reappearing or attacking multiple times per second.
- Reduced HeavyStrategy 3 counts and maximum ramming speed from the previous extreme values.
- Corrected Heavy3 joining entries to valid true/false values and limited joined support units.
- Reduced roadblock joining range/count and slowed high-Heat strategy stacking.
- Reduced oversized cop radar/detection ranges.
- Restored useful Speedbreaker rewards at higher Heat levels.
- Adjusted bust/evade timing to remain punishing without becoming near-instant at Heat 10.

The custom Advanced\Roadblocks.ini layouts and setup values were migrated for Bartender
v3.05 compatibility but were otherwise left unchanged, as requested. The core .nfsms/VLT
pursuit tuning was not rebalanced in this patch.

Optional Heat 10 Challenge Series add-on
----------------------------------------
- Added a new installer checkbox exclusively to Intense [Hard] and Merciless [Veteran].
- The option rewrites gameplay/race_bin_challenge/challenge_34_pursuit_length into a
  60-minute Heat 10 endurance pursuit.
- Sets ForceHeatLevel to 10 and ThreshholdValue to 3600 seconds.
- Uses E3_DEMO_BMW as the player car and copsportghost as the pursuit spawn vehicle.
- Adds CopDensity with value 3 (Maximum) and RequiredBounty with value 10,000,000.
- Sets a 50 percent rain chance and a 1,000,000 cash reward.
- The player must survive the required hour and then successfully evade to finish the
  pursuit-length event.
- The checkbox is disabled by default, so the original final challenge remains unchanged
  unless the player explicitly selects the add-on.
- Corrected leftover V3.0.1.1 text labels to the intended V3.0.1 version number.

COSMETIC CONFIG UPDATE
----------------------
- Enabled a custom helicopter-destroyed notification in Casual, Standard, Intense, and Merciless.
- The helicopter is identified as "G-YPOL X-40 Police Helicopter" above the combo bounty reward.
- Changed helicopter vision-cone colours to blue while out of sight and blue-purple while within sight.
- Corrected the helicopter vision settings to Bartender 3.05's outOfSight/withinSight key format.
- Rookie remains unchanged.
