Fixed NPC Levels

Some NPCs will either scale up to some level with player, or will always scale with player. As a result their HP will bloat in an immersion breaking way, while players damage might cap at certain level. I do hate bullet sponges.

There are complex and heavy solution for this like Scourge, but I wanted something smaller, something more focused on just the issue.

This is how Fixed NPC levels happened.

Requirements

• XMake [2.8.2+]
• C++23 Compiler (MSVC or Clang-CL)

Getting Started

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/maniman303/FixedNPCLevels.git

VS Code Setup

Run

xmake project -k compile_commands -y

Then move compile_commands.json to .vscode folder.

Build

To build the project, run the following command:

xmake build -y

Note: This will generate a build/windows/ directory in the project's root directory with the build output.

Build Output (Optional)

If you want to redirect the build output, set one of the following environment variables:

• Path to a Fallout 4 install folder: XSE_FO4_GAME_PATH

Project Generation (Optional)

If you want to generate a Visual Studio project, run the following command:

xmake project -k vsxmake

Note: This will generate a vsxmakeXXXX/ directory in the project's root directory using the latest version of Visual Studio installed on the system.

Upgrading Packages (Optional)

xmake repo --update
xmake require --upgrade
