I see you there. Googling in futility. Scouring these boards for a PK-nerfing mod that doesn't suck. I did the same thing. It didn't exist. The choice was between a mod that removed PKs entirely and caused game crashes, or one that took the unnecessary extra step of altering game settings that were completely unrelated to the issue at hand. The Silent Storm modding scene, as small as it already was, is pretty much dead these days. When I came here looking for that small ray of hope, I quickly realised I wouldn't find it. So I went through seven hours of HELL getting MapTool to work long enough to create this mod, just for me. Then I thought, "I don't want anybody else to suffer this process of MSSQL installations and virtual machines and database crap", and so now it's for you, too. DOWNLOAD ATTACHED! Also here: http://www.box.net/shared/z1gh27j7is This mod does exactly the following and nothing else: - Reduces all Panzerklein VPs by 25% - Reduces Panzerklein armor value from 180 to 120 It doesn't speed them up, it doesn't mess with your game settings, it doesn't make inventory stuff cost APs, it doesn't remove any items, it shouldn't crash anything, and most importantly, it does not mess with the enemy AI. All it does is make them less resistant to damage and slightly reduced their max VPs. I decided on a 25% reduction because I still felt they needed a decent amount of health, but now it should be easier and overall less annoying to cause damage to them. This, theoretically, should be the most compatible and least buggy PK mod available to date. I give it freely here to anyone who may be searching for something like it. Please spread it around to whomever you think might enjoy its benefits. And if it still causes crashes and bugs like the other two, then I'm afraid this was the final solution and there is simply no other way around it, because this one is an absolute bare bones, no frills attached mod. I'm not looking for credit or praise of any kind, I just wanted to share. Because I know what it's like desperately searching for a file that doesn't exist, or used to but has been buried by time. I would like to extend greetings to StrategyCore, and say thanks to the modding community that once, briefly, flourished here. Thank you to the makers of all previous Silent Storm mods (including the broken PK ones), and especially the pioneers who figure out the tough stuff for the rest of us. Special thanks to dragon for his work compiling the instructions together, even though there was one big step missed out (but it was relatively easy to figure out where this mysterious "original.db" was supposed to have come from. ) Well, I've done my part, lol. Have fun! WeakPKs.zip
