  LETHAL PURSUITS V3.0  —  ROOKIE  [Very Easy]
  Beginner Pursuit / Warm-Up Mode
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Welcome to Lethal Pursuits! Rookie is the gentlest preset in the pack
and is the one you should pick if you've never played NFSMW 2005 with
any pursuit overhaul before. The cops will still chase you, but they
will not swarm you, the helicopter is COMPLETELY DISABLED, and you have
plenty of room to figure out the game's evade and bust mechanics
without being constantly punished for small mistakes.


─── ABOUT THIS PRESET ────────────────────────────────────────────────

  • Lowest cop pressure and slowest Heat 1-10 escalation in the pack.
  • Smaller cop counts with fewer support calls.
  • Helicopter is completely disabled in VltED, therefore it will not spawn in the game at all unless you are wanting to go to casual difficulty instead.
  • Roadblocks, Heavy support and Leader strategies are also disabled, therefore they will not spawn unless you are wanting to go to casual difficulty instead.
  • Busting is more forgiving and evading is easier.

Recommended for: first-time players, casual driving, testing setups,
and anyone who just wants the lightest version of Lethal Pursuits.


─── INSTALLATION ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  1. Open the .nfsms script in this folder with NFS-VltEd 4.6 or
     lower (by nfsu360) and apply it to your NFSMW 2005 install.

  2. When prompted, you can read the ui_text shown to you if you want to. Then click the install button, and it will override the fields in your game.


─── OPTIONAL: EXTRA PURSUIT OPTIONS (EPO) ────────────────────────────

After installing this base preset you can OPTIONALLY install the
matching Extra Pursuit Options script for Rookie. EPO unlocks
additional pursuit features such as:

  • Higher active cop counts in pursuits
  • Unlocked cop spawn limits
  • Extra support tactics
  • More aggressive police AI behaviour

Think of EPO as a "difficulty+" option. For Rookie players this is
usually NOT recommended — it will add pressure that this preset
deliberately keeps soft. Skip it unless you specifically want more
chaos on top of an otherwise easy preset.

Addition: IF you do install EPO in your MW directory, HeavyStrategy might be re-enabled but that isn't tested so feel free to let me(the creator) know.


─── KNOWN MOD CONFLICTS ──────────────────────────────────────────────

If you ALREADY have any of these mods installed, you must disable
the listed options in their config files to avoid conflicts with
the bundled Bartender and OpenLimitAdjuster:

  • NFSMW Unlimiter (by nlgxzef)
       → disable ExpandMemoryPools
       → disable RandomizeTraffic

  • NFSMW ExtraOptions (by ExOptsTeam)
       → disable ExpandMemoryPools
       → disable DoScreenPrintf

  • NFSMW HDReflections (by Aero)
       → disable ExpandMemoryPools


─── FINAL NOTE ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Have fun, noobie xd.
