Description:
TPW MODS is a modular and highly configurable suite of addons designed to increase the civilian, environmental, sonic, climatic and military ambience and realism of the A3 single player experience. You can use the TPW MODS of your choice to enhance existing missions and campaigns, or to simply turn any empty map into an immersive living world a la Far Cry 3 or 4, with endless replayability. All mods interoperate well, are light on resources and a lot of work has gone into optimising them so they should not cause undue slowdowns or framerate issues. TPW MODS is under constant development, and continues to be refined and expanded largely due to user feedback and suggestions.

Infantry realism
Units reacting realistically to suppressive fire by ducking/going prone and seeking cover (TPW EBS)*.
Units reacting to falls and bullet hits by falling/ragdolling to the ground (TPW FALL).
Units continuing to bleed from injuries, resulting in decreased mobility and eventually incapacitation and death if not treated (TPW BLEEDOUT).
Units able to self heal using First Aid Kits (TPW BLEEDOUT).
Units rapidly reacting to nearby enemies they have line of sight to (TPW LOS)*.
Sounds for jumping, falling, rolling and turning prone, sounds for freefalling and under canopy (TPW FALL).
Plausible 2035 mesh networked HUD with range and predictive targetting, bullet trajectory tracing, positional audio ping of nearest enemies, electrochromic tinting, and full colour night vision, when equipped with tactical goggles (TPW HUD).
Highly configurable ambient infantry combat, with AI able to call in support (TPW SKIRMISH).
More realistic (slower) movement and stance change speeds.
* Deprecated due to engine improvements

Civilians
Region specific civilians in towns, walking around and interacting with each other, and reacting to weather and gunfire (TPW CIVS).
Denser CPU friendly civilian crowds along the side of the road and near houses (TPW CROWD).
Civilian traffic, which you may commandeer (TPW CARS).
Civilian cars parked by the side of the road near habitable houses (TPW PARK).
Civilian boats (TPW BOATS).
Ohally's CAF Aggressors Middle Eastern and African civilians, RDS A2 Eastern European civilians and cars, Leight's Opfor Pack Middle Eastern civilians, and CUP civilians and vehicles will be used appropriately if present.
Maxjoiner's women will be used as female civilians on Greek and European maps, if the mod is present.

Ambience
Lights in civilian houses at night (TPW HOUSELIGHTS).
Working streetlights on A2/OA maps (TPW STREETLIGHTS)**.
Appropriate sized flocks of sheep/goats/chickens, and randomly barking dogs / yowling cats (TPW ANIMALS).
Occasional helicopter and jet flybys, with automatic support for 3rd party aircraft mods (TPW AIR).
Ambient environmental noises (voices, traffic, radio music, loudspeakers), with support for user added sounds/music (TPW SOAP).
Mosques playing the Azan call to prayer at appropriate times, with prayer response from nearby houses (TPW SOAP).
Nearby gunfire eliciting screaming, babies crying and dogs barking, from houses near the player (TPW SOAP).
Creaking doors/timbers in houses, with whistling wind and rattling windows in windy conditions (TPW SOAP).
Ambient radio chatter on foot and in/near vehicles, with support for Russian radio chatter in RHS Russian vehicles (TPW RADIO).
Civs/animals/cars/parked cars/radio/houselights/streetlights/sounds easily excluded from entire areas of the map using triggers.
Glowing blinking animated fireflies on warm summer evenings (TPW FIREFLIES).
Ambient furniture in enterable Tanoan and Altian building and houses (TPW FURNITURE).
** Deprecated due to CUP Terrains implementing working streetlights

Weather
Region specific climate (TPW FOG).
Ground fog, units with foggy breath, and a chance of snow, during colder weather (TPW FOG).
Ground heat haze / mirage effects during hot weather (TPW FOG).
Dust storm functionality which may be called via script or trigger (TPW FOG).
Dynamic ground mist reacting to humidity, tree cover, and rainfall (TPW FOG).
Dynamic snow which will not fall through buildings/ cover, snow goggle fx, snow fx in vehicles (TPW FOG).
Rain droplet effects on most exposed ground and object surfaces near the player (TPW RAINFX).
Refractive rain droplet effects on car windscreens and player goggles (TPW RAINFX).
Puddles on the ground around the player during and after rain (TPW PUDDLE).
