Alarmingly Streamlined Spawngroups

Simultaneously simplifies and complexifies enemy spawn groups

Also known as ASS, since it probably is

An enemy spawn group mod, crafted and refined for this one's tastes over the course of a year, with three distinct sets of simple yet alarming groups

Requires Streamlined Heisting - also compatible with Super Serious Shooter

The mod is more difficult than base Streamlined Heisting, but its difficulty is customizable

Custom Heist Support:

In version 6, the mod has received improved compatibility with custom maps.

Not all may work out of the box, especially if a given heist uses a custom faction, so leave a comment if needed.

Custom heists that have been played from start to finish with the mod, in loud, on Death Wish difficulty:

Avalon's Shadow v12
Crashing Capitol v1.0.2.3
Constantine Heists Archive v5: heists with the custom FSB or cartel factions; Scarlett Resort; Penthouse Crasher
BOWORKS v1.5: days 1 and 2 are playable, day 3 is currently not compatible with Streamlined Heisting

Settings:

Enable the ASS	Make the mod do the thing.
Level Mod	Make levels use a fixed response faction on any difficulty. Disabled in Holdout. ZEAL Level Mods activate an additional matchmaking lock.
Assault Style	Choose which set of spawn groups to face.
Skill Level	Tweaks base values used for scaling.
Resistive Responders	All dominatable enemies are better at resisting domination on higher difficulties.
Difficult Dominations	All dominatable enemies are as adept at resisting domination as a heavy unit.
Super Serious Surrenders	All dominatable enemies will only give up between assault waves. Effectively always active in Super Serious Shooter.
Absolute Values	Sets values that scale with chosen difficulty to use Death Sentence values.
Maxed Assault Strength	Always uses task data corresponding to 100% heist difficulty progression.
Maxed Law Multipliers	Always uses enemy spawn limits corresponding to a full crew, regardless of how many players there are.
Grace Period	Tweak the grace period duration for yourself only. Has no effect in Super Serious Shooter.
Shield Arms	Determine the weapon type used by Shield units. Has no effect in Super Serious Shooter.
Taser Dazers	Determine the weapon type used by Tasers.
Cloaker Balance	Determine the weapon type used by Cloakers.
Medic Ordnance	Determine the weapon type used by rifle Medics.
Medical Ordinance	Determine the weapon type used by shotgun Medics. Yes, those are two different words.
Shiny Riflemen	Allow SMG SWATs for supported factions to spawn in the assault, if available.
Minigun Dozers	Allow Minigun Dozers to spawn in the assault on Death Wish difficulty.
Captain Winters	Allow Captain Winters to spawn. Effectively always inactive in Super Serious Shooter.
True Patriots	Allow police to deploy gas grenades even when hostages are in the area.
Escapes	Allow escapes to occur.

Notes:

Majority of features only work as host
Values (eg, frequency of tougher units) scale with chosen difficulty
Some difficulties and Level Mods have a mixed response of two different police factions
Minigun Dozers are added to some scripted spawns and will spawn regardless of the Minigun Dozers setting on Death Wish
Marshal Marksmen are added to some scripted spawns to compensate for their removal from the assaults
Includes a tweaked version of Give Random Arms to Scripted Spawns
Certain special enemies are given appropriate weaponry for faction consistency
Certain unique characters (bosses, friendly NPCs) are also given different weapons
Mission scripting for several maps has been tweaked - both to improve scripted spawn variety, and to improve game flow
Some enemy-related modifiers and mutators have been tweaked to better work with the mod

Assault Styles:

Original (default)	Modernized and tweaked restoration of the game's pre-Crimefest 2016 spawn groups. New enemy combos; riflemen and shotgunners spawn together; light and heavy units spawn separately. Scales up shotgunner and flanker presence with difficulty; light and heavy unit presence is always approximately 1:1.
Streamlined++	Spicier version of Streamlined Heisting's default groups. New enemy combos; more shotgunners. Scales up heavy presence with difficulty, to approximately 1:1 with light units on Death Sentence - this ratio varies with the chosen Skill Level.
Default Streamlined	Tweaks Streamlined Heisting's default groups to work with the Level Mod and Skill Level settings. Does not add new units to the groups; all other aspects of the mod, such as mission script tweaks, still apply.
Chicken Plate	Experimental - enemies spawn solo, but faster than normal. Higher heavy unit presence than normal - 5:2 heavy-to-light ratio in the toughest assault waves.

Grace Period:

Toe in the Pool (0.225s)
Little Timmy (0.25s, default)	Same as modern Streamlined Heisting.
Seasoned Streamliner (0.2s, recommended)	Same as some older versions of Streamlined Heisting.
No Stranger to Danger (0.175s)	Enemies with rifles can damage you with every shot.
Fleur-de-lis Enthusiast (0.15s)
Shieldfucker (0.125s)	Shields with SMGs can damage you with every shot.
A Distinctive Lack of Name (0.10s)
Belt-Fed Target Practice (0.075s)	Bulldozers with LMGs can damage you with every shot.
Super Serious (0.05s)	Same as Super Serious Shooter.
Post-Prequel Sequel (0.025s)
Good Game Design (0s)

Hey, Not Too Rough (default)	Probably won't hurt. Tougher units are less likely to spawn. Assaults last up to around 5.5 minutes. Length varies slightly. The cooldown between enemies using any grenade is 13.5 seconds. Smoke bombs last up to 15 seconds.
Hurt Me Plenty (recommended)	May hurt. Original values. Assaults last up to around 5.5 minutes. Length varies slightly. The cooldown between enemies using any grenade is 13.5 seconds. Smoke bombs last up to 15 seconds.
Ultra-Violence	Will hurt. Tougher units are more likely to spawn. Assaults last up to around 6.5 minutes. Length varies. Assault breaks are 15% shorter.

Enemies are much less hesitant to push when no grenade is available. Cooldown between enemy spawns is decreased to 25%. Smoke bombs last up to 30 seconds. Gas grenade chance builds up nearly instantly. Special limits are increased by 100%.
Ultra-Nightmare!!	Less doable bullshit. Not playtested. It's just a "fuck you and your mother" thing. Tougher units are exponentially more likely to spawn. Assaults will only end by killing enough cops, or from map scripting. Assault breaks may as well not exist. The cooldown between enemies using the same grenade type again is removed. The cooldown between enemies using any grenade is 3 seconds. Enemies won't wait to use a grenade before pushing. Cooldown between enemy spawns is removed. Smoke bombs last 60 seconds. Gas grenades are always used if available. Special limits are increased by 300%.

Level Mod Map:

These are used when the Level Mod setting is set to Per-Level. GenSec-ZEAL and ZEAL Level Mods require an additional matchmaking lock to function online, and thus have no associated levels and will not be picked when Level Mod is set to Random. For alternate factions like Murkywater, this will use their version of equivalent American units - they may not be visually different without other mods, though.
