  LETHAL PURSUITS V3.0  —  STANDARD  [Normal]
  Core Lethal Pursuits Experience
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Standard is the flagship preset — the one Lethal Pursuits was built
around. Cop escalation, support pacing, helicopter behaviour and
formation choices are all tuned to deliver the intended pursuit
experience: serious at high Heat, manageable at low Heat, never
unfair, and never boring. If you're not sure which preset to pick,
pick this one.


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

  • Balanced cop escalation from Heat 1 through Heat 10.
  • Moderate roadblocks, support strategies, and helicopter pressure.
  • Smarter tactical formations than vanilla without going overboard.
  • Higher Heat levels become serious while still staying reasonable
    for most players.
  • Designed as the main intended Lethal Pursuits experience.

Recommended for: players who want the default balance of challenge,
chaos, and playability. This is the canonical version.


─── 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 nfsms file, you can OPTIONALLY install the
matching Extra Pursuit Options script for Standard. 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 Standard players this
acts as a softer bridge into Intense — same balanced base, just with
more units in the chase. Recommended if you want a little extra bite
without jumping to a full higher tier.


─── 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 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

This is the intended Lethal Pursuits experience. Get comfortable
here — and when you're ready for a more harder experience, you can step up to Intense difficulty unless you prefer staying where you're at.
