Heyo! I'm the maker of the Med Spray mod. It makes me really happy to see it implemented in this sort of custom difficulty challenges. I did notice it failed you right when you needed it grrr I'll have to do some stress testing when I get free time and find the exact conditions that make it stop working.

[@AdamOnlineYT]

Firstly, thanks so much for making the mod. It compliments the no health regen mod perfectly, and I honestly don't think I can go back to the vanilla health system now! And also I'll help where I can with testing. I'll go back over my footage and try and remember exactly what happened for it to do that (I can't remember exactly off the top of my head). Thanks for watching!

[@Norrum]

@@AdamOnlineYT I'm glad to hear that :) I don't think I can go back to auto regen either haha. Just ran some tests and I think I found exactly what's happening. I opened a thread in the discord server, under modding-showcase if you're curious.

[@AdamOnlineYT]

@@Norrum Wow I'll take a look at that thread. Cheers mate o7

[@goblindeter8258]

I was desperatly looking for a mod like this!!!! I would appreciate if we could have some links, I never modded this game and haven't played it since 2016.

[@tyler361t2]

@@Norrum hey can i make a humble suggestion, is there any chance you could make a mod which simply puts different ranking (S tier, A tier, etc.) into different uniforms? thats it. so S tier look more high ranking while lower tiers look sloppy and with basic uniforms. why? so i dont have to use my binoculars to see who i want to fulton out of there

Man, MGSV is one of the best games of all time - I always loved Snake Eater the most, but 5 just recreated the understanding of a 'stealth game' in my mind. For your run, you could probably consider cranking up enemy hearing range, as it significantly affects the difficulty and tactics. Having just finished Sniper Elite 4 on "authentic plus" where it is a thing, it struck me, that if enemies do not hear you jumping or grabbing their comrades from at least 10 meters, it hardly is "realistic". I guess, I know what I be doing on my next run haha Cheers fellow DD, you're pretty good!

[@AdamOnlineYT]

I think vanilla is actually fairly balanced. Certain actions, even though they are loud to the player, they're silent to guards so upping the distance wouldn't have any effect unfortunately. Things like diving, jumping or even grabbing enemies are completely "silent". It could be worth increasing the distance though, I'll have a look at the settings. See what I can balance while making it fun to play while being challenging (and fitting within the "realism" rule-set).

[@theotherguy6263]

@@AdamOnlineYT Oh, I wasn't aware that those actions are hard-coded silent. Haven't played MGSV a good year or so, but I remember upping enemy hearing range had SOME clear effect - but maybe that was only affecting the loudness of walking? Gotta redownload game again and try it haha Anyways, thanks for the reply! Good luck on your future quests 🪱🪱🪱

[@alephnole7009]

I was playing with hearing and sight at 200% I believe earlier this year. Both me and enemies died in only a few bullets and spread was reduced by about 30%. It basically meant if I could see or hear them, they could me.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

​@@theotherguy6263 afaik, they never react to hold ups, any kind of cqc, or interrogations. I wanna say they could hear interrogations in Ground Zeroes but for whatever reason they removed that for TPP. Kinda lame but it is what it is.

[@audiosurfarchive]

@@jihigh482 Copium™

[@AnotherViewBot]

​@@audiosurfarchive "Since the release of MGSV, rumours have pointed the finger at publisher Konami, blaming the company for forcing the game out before it was completed, supposedly evidenced by the excised Chapter 3 material. But, in the Japanese novelisation of the game, creator Hideo Kojima has not only taken responsibility for the “blank space” left by the game’s ending, but has revealed that it was intentional; a metaphor for the end of the series, and the absence of its hero." "Metal Gear was born as a game in 1987. From there 28 years, within me the circle of the Metal Gear story has been closed with the latest release “MGSV”. A respected author, Dennis Lehane with the popular series “Patrick Kenzie & Angela Gennaro” declared that at the peak of his popularity “No matter what kind of series it is, there is a time that it must end”, and he himself closed the curtain. No matter how popular a series is, someday the end will come. However, that is by no means a parting. Even if you can’t touch it, you can feel the influence of that story. A story is a thing without shape. Assuming physically nothing is there, nothing to be lost. As long as stories and legends are desired, they will continue forever. The brilliance will never vanish. It’s in everyone’s heart. It is not always true that saying “goodbye to a hero” ignites a phantom pain. By saying “goodbye to a hero”, you can for eternity leave behind lost joy as a blank space.” “In MGSV, we hand the story (the legend) over to the player. That’s how the player becomes the Big Boss in the MSX2 Metal Gear. You play the game as you will, raise up your Mother Base. That’s the way I want the player to create his own story, thinking of things like “war” and “peace” as Big Boss. Up until now, the Metal Gear Saga was told by creating video games, but I want each player to think and come up with their own story (legend) on their own.” “There is a blank space, but it will not be filled. In that blank space there is always a hero. Because there is a blank space, you can advance ahead. It is this blank space exactly that is “V”." Only one huffing the copium is you, sis.

[@g36cvek]

I wish this was available in the base game. Like the subsitence versions of missions were awesome.

[@Gabrielxdxd4]

I recommend trying 400% vision and 200% hearing, that really does make you need to plan carefully how to proceed and be aware of your surroundings. If you pair it up with "Beyond Ultra Settings" to see far objects is perfect as enemies can see you crouched for around 100m and detect you lying down around 30m. It really makes you need a plan even to do a side-op, as the minimal mistake and you will have the whole base on alert. Give it a try, maybe with this much handicaps become impossible, but with the vanilla game only pairing the Beyond Ultra to see far objects and the buffed vision + hearing it does make the game like a extreme difficulty.

[@SiodogRehane]

This tempts me to go back even after 100% I really missed the no weapons or stuff on missions. We only had a couple of missions with this setting and was sad when we couldn't do it ourselves forced to use equipment

[@Xen0gears515]

Watching this made me realize how konami had a missed opportunity to implement co op in mgs5. Imagine having custom missions and 3 other players join in to infiltrate the area. I wouldve imagine being hella fun.

[@Twix4x7]

Based on what I am seeing here, this would have been an excellent idea. 👍🏽

[@Killicon93]

I seriously need to fix my MGSV to do a run in this vein as I've done plenty of daydreaming about replaying it (my game keeps getting stuck after the credits following the nuclear disarmament cutscene). Though I reckon that a fresh save could fix that. Even playing Vanilla MGSV:TPP with the enemy markers and detection gauge disabled, playing as security-staff and going no-tranq gave me some of my most memorable gaming moments and I only played like a handful of missions like that. As much as I love MGS the tranq-gun has a bad habit of robbing the player off some really creative moments of improvisation. Also, a funny thing: Back when MGSV was a new I was actually kinda disappointed that dying as one of your security staff members you didn't lose said member. Though wasn't it so that staff killed while infiltrating player FOB's were actually lost?

You can completely avoid the skulls by just changing the location of the LZ after freeing Kaz. But then I suppose that would take the challenge and fun out of it.

[@yellowsaurus4895]

That's only possible when replaying the mission. You're always stuck with that one LZ on your first time through

i also tried making a no health regen mod. i gave up becuz i couldnt get rid of the red overlay and the noises snake makes. but even if u get rid of those it still doesnt work becuz then u have no idea how much hp u have left. it's a shame becuz on the one hand the games teems with potential for a realism mode but on the other it's so difficult to mod.

[@klvy5623]

Sir do you have a mod list possibly I would love to use all these mods

[@copernicusnewton2569]

6:22 Sure, that's pretty realistic haha. Is there a way to increase the guards' field of view and range of hearing? edit: Also is there a mod to turn off Miller's/Ocelot's radio chat for yapping on whenever you extract guards, destroy installations (radio, AA, power)?

[@yellowsaurus4895]

There is no mod to change the enemies' fov afaik. Their hearing and vision distance has been increased for this playthrough, but certain actions like most cqc and interrogations are hard-coded to not be audible to enemies, even though the player can hear them. So increasing their hearing has no effect unfortunately. There is a mod that removes those voice lines, if i remember correctly.

The only thing that would make this better is if you could play this game along with other players.

Hey, glad you enjoyed! In regards to the live chat stuff, interactivity is a big part of why I make these videos. People watching are able to use commands to play their favourite MGS tracks or change aspects of gameplay on the fly, there are also members of the modding community who are there and are able to provide really interesting insights into the games under the hood aspects, and also generally make playthroughs like this possible. In short, the live chat aspect is a big part of why I do what I do. I understand it's not to everyone's taste but figured I'd chime in on that. Thanks for watching o7
