Love it when you knife someone and some random ass stalker across the map is like: "I just heard some melee..."
I don't know if it's more stupid or immersion-breaking. Or both. Or maybe in The Zone, everyone has super hearing.
This simple tweak disables these messages entirely by excluding melee type weapons from the dynamic news script function about stalkers 'hearing' kills.
They will still say they heard rifle fire etc. Everything else stays the same. I just modified two lines so it ignores melee weapons. You can now stealth stab people without the whole zone talking about it.
Additionally, there's a second version that also makes any type of 'hearing' messages play less often. (chance customizable)
UPDATE 1.1
-Added MO2 FOMOD install for convenience
-By request, I added a second version that also makes all types of "I just heard" messages more rare, so they won't always play out - 50% by default (chance fully customizable, check 'HOW TO CUSTOMIZE CHANCE.txt' inside mod folder after install)
Requirements
-The tweaked file is from Dialogue Expanded v4 mod (works on 1.5.2), so I put it as a requirement
-GAMMA and EFP modpacks include said mod by default, so just follow the install instructions
Installation
Manual:
-Make sure the required mod is installed
-In the Anomaly main folder, go inside gamedata/scripts and replace the "dynamic_news_manager.script" with a file from the version you picked
For GAMMA, EFP, or any MO2 users: (RECOMMENDED)
-Use MO2 FOMOD to install, follow the instructions
-Put it anywhere below Dialogue Expanded mod
If you don't want to increase your mod count:
-Right click on Dialogue Expanded mod in your MO2, press "Open in Explorer"
-Go inside gamedata/scripts and replace "dynamic_news_manager.script” with a file from the version you picked

Does that mod work with 1.5.2?
Yes, Iām on 1.5.2 myself.
Thanks!
"I've just heard some people crying out loud stabbed to death".
This is a must-have! Thank you.
Nice work Dude
Could you maybe do an addon which makes these messages itself more rare plus deleting the knife messages? I am reading this stuff too often.
I knew absolutely nothing about how to do it, but I actually managed to make it work lmao. Check the update notes.
You are a god, thank you for making this.
Can you tell me what lines did you replace, 'cause LTTZ mod have same file. I wanna make these 2 mods compatible.
Can you add me on discord? Much easier to explain. Same name as here.
Done, sasanito95
Option to change of frequency of these messages is very welcome š Thank you š
I literally though about it yesterday. Every singe goddamn move I make is known to everybody.
Can take this a step further and make reports only about "interesting" stuff - why would some guy talk about another guy shooting a single dog. It happens all time!
I get your point but I tried to keep it simple for everyone, while still focusing only on those hearing messages. Letting you change the frequency helps a bit.
