Insane Difficulty, as the name suggests, focusses heavily on the overall difficulty aspect of GTA SA.
Re-modernizing and refreshing the gameplay, tweaking the world and re-balancing all Non-Playable NPCs.
There is a bit to talk about it here as this mod took a while to create, but, first things first;
I'll be start by giving the due respect and many thanks to a bunch of people as the mod simply wouldn't be of the same quality without their works:
For the scripts, extra activities and visuals:
DK22Pac, Junior_Djjr, ThirteenAG, DubHaMlg777, Razor1096, Alvian9xpro, Rodent, Erron_Black211, MKKJ, Fastman92, Link2012, Madleg, Cifan and Whitetigerswt.
For the weapons models:
DavSte, Beenox, Yaz222, Mussy44, Miguel16310, Vadim M and CJ2000.
You will be able to find in-dept credits inside the mod folders.
So let's talk about the changes this mods brings:
The Gameplay:
This is where my main focus went and has had the majority of changes;
As i've already mentioned, the entirety of it was Re-Modernized and Refreshed, from CJ, to Health/Damage pools, to Weapons.
Cj will not be able to take as much punishment and will gain fat faster, muscles slowly, and lose both faster as well, so taking good care for him is essential to get through the end.
He will start by holding the "small firearms" variety with two hands to then switch to single handed for superior mobility (Gangster Level) and finally, one for each hand (Hitman level).
Health and Damage pools were all modified, not only CJ will die rapidly but also Npcs as well, every gun-fight is fast paced and hectic.
The Gun-Play was built around the new aiming system, ranges, ammo, damage are all different now and will need you to re-learn them from scratch.
Non-Playable Characters will share the same skill sets as Cj.
Make sure to check the new weapons in the gun shops.
The World:
Peds and vehicles are all untouched, although they take more damage than vanilla and drop less money.
Almost all of the pickups were deleted, both in mission and free-roam to give space to the new Money System and side activities.
Now it has become more difficult to earn and balance your money account. Fewer missions will pay CJ and assets costs a bit more.
Non-Playable Npcs:
I've took my time to edit and balance Npcs in all of the missions of the game.
To keep in mind is their ability to take accurate shots in short burst and will wield varied weapons.
They are able to use all of the Vanilla arsenal, Shotguns standardized as well Snipers in some occasions.
Their health pools have been dropped dramatically but as you keep playing you will find tougher enemies, with a bit more health and armour.
All of the friendly Npcs are able to take damage from Enemies, so take good care of them.
Visuals:
Not much has been changed of the visual aspects, leaving that to you.
The only thing i've taken my time to do was applying 1024x1024 new textures to all the weapons (Vanilla and New), photo-realistic textures taken online and in some occasions with my hand-work.
You can replace them if you wish to, you will be able to find all the files inside the mod folder, but i assure you they fit well into the canon world and works just fine with graphical enhancments mods.
The Extra Activities:
Since earning money has become essential, i've added some extra activities by modifying some Custom Scripts and tweaked the Vanilla ones.
You will be able to mug pedestrians at gun point on the streets, rob local stores as well owning a chop shop in San Fiero.
Vanilla Activities will simply give less money.
Down below you will find a list of commands for the custom scripted activities.
INSTALLATION:
This mod was put together inside a simple folder to be dropped inside the Modloader. So if you aren't using it, you will need to download it first.
And that's all about it, it will take care of itself and work smoothly without issues, although be careful about installing other custom scripted mods.
Remember to prioritize it in the Modloader's Mod Options once the game booted, above all mods, to prevent any issues.
LIST OF COMMANDS:
The new activites are simple to boot up:
To mug pedestrians simply aim your weapons at them, they will give far more money than dropped ones.
To rob stores you must wear your mask first, by pressing X. It has modified so that as long as you are wearing it, and not wanted, you can rob as many stores as you want.
The Chop Shop in San Fiero works simple as well, take a car and drive it inside the red circle, a cutscene will play before giving back control to you.
As a bonus, if you wear a hoodie you can put it over your head by pressing Z. |
