(NWN) Real Fog of War Mod

Real Fog of War Mod features

• The map is initially unrevealed and must be explored.
• Both players and AI’s humans, animals, mechanoids, and some objects have and are affected by a Field of View, shared among faction components.
• Animals participate in Faction Fog of War only if trained for release and with a master set.
• Only things revealed by a Field of View can be attacked by ranged weapons; Mortars and similar weapons can attack unrevealed and unseen places.
• Field of View of humans, animals, and mechanoids is adjusted to sight attribute and are affected by darkness (mechanoids are immune) and weather.
• Bionic eyes reduce the darkness debuff (one by half, two completely).
• Standing and attacking humans, animals and mechanoids have a slightly increased Field of View as they “peek” in nearby spaces.
• When attacking and not moving, the sight range is adjusted to weapon range over time (time-based on weapon warm-up time and range).
• Sleeping humans and animals have a base Field of View reduced to 20%
• At rough and lower difficulties, player’s automatic turrets extend the Field of View in their target area.
• Added surveillance cameras, to monitor an area (research required), and watchtowers, to increase view range when colonists stand on them.
• Works with existing saves, but the map will be unrevealed.

New stuff

• New settings for you to tweak with. Finally, adjustable vision range. (I recommend setting it 55 to vanilla and 65 to CE.
• Blind people can provide vision by hearing too.
• Integrated changes from Yayo versions
• A few bugfix and performance improvements.
• Night vision integration from other mod-like nocturnal animals sees further at night. Vanilla expanded apparel night vision goggles allow better vision at night.
• Animal body size matters at providing vision
• Colonists can hear people moving in FoW.
• Built-in raid letter suppressor
• Toggle for prisoner providing vision

Compatibility notes

• Reported to be compatible with CAI 5000 – Advanced AI + Fog Of War as long as the fog of war in that mod is turned off
• Wall and ceiling cameras can now be placed over other items, using the same mechanic as wall-mounted lights. Thanks to ODevil who made the original patch!

Recommended mods

Mods that add non-view obstructing building such as Vanilla fence and Tent.

For the RTS experience: Dubs mint minimap (for minimap durr) and Guard for me (patrolling colonists have an actual purpose now)

Known and possible issues:

• This version might make the game lag if used with any mod that makes pawn calculate target to shoot constantly.
• Also the hiding Interaction bubble in FoW function cause lot of lag and might even break the UI. It’s recommended to disable it.
