LOTR Tweaks ( IMO )

New

• NPCs eat more when hurt (config: npc_eating): NPCs that are not at full health eat and drink more often. The bonus is +300% on top of the original mod's chance by default, adjustable from 0 to 1000%. As in the original mod, NPCs never eat or drink while fighting.
• Dwarf knockback resistance (config: dwarf_knockback): every hit pushes Dwarf NPCs back a much shorter distance: 66% less by default (adjustable, 0–100%). This includes extra knockback from weapons and enchantments. Applies to all LOTR Dwarves, including Wicked Dwarves, and to any other mod's Dwarves built on them.

Changed

• Uruk-hai Berserker (config: uruk_berserker):
  • Berserkers are no longer constantly under the effect of Orc Draught.
  • They now have permanent Strength I, with its natural potion swirls always visible.
  • Strength and Weakness now actually change the Berserker's melee damage, the same way they do for players (Strength I: 1.5 times the damage). In the original mod, potions never change NPC melee damage. This has its own setting (strengthAffectsDamage, on by default) and also boosts the Olog-hai style splash hits.
  • They are immune to Orc Draught. They still drink it but get nothing from it: no strength, night vision, hunger or speed.
  • They no longer get the Uruk-hai armour penalty.
  • Their walking and charge speed now match Black Uruks. They are not slowed by sunlight.

Fixed

• The hiring screen now shows the Uruk-hai Berserker's real equipment (Uruk armour, not fur).
• Berserkers no longer show fur armour for a moment before switching to Uruk armour. They now have the right gear as soon as they appear.
• A loaded crossbow in the inventory character preview is now drawn exactly like in third person (F5). The original mod drew it with the first-person rotation when you were not in F5. Bows and other items are unchanged.

Notes

• Install on both server and client, same version.
• All new settings appear in the in-game config menu, are translated into every language of the LOTR mod, and are controlled by the server.
