Weapon Balance Mod
 

Description:
This plugin ensures that all firearms will be useful. In other words, less popular weapons are just as deadly now as normally mostly used ones. However due to large weapon choice what Counter-Strike offers, this plugin isn't designed only to balance the weapons power and how useful they are. It as well brings in new strategies - all weapons are more balanced up, but some are more useful in various tactical situations than others.


Requires:
FakeMeta
HamSandWich


Cvars:

* "shotgun_tracers" - shotgun bullet tracers (just add the numbers).
- "1" - First-Person special tracers.
- "2" - Non-First-Person tracers. [default]
- "4" - First-Person tracers (1 must be disabled).

* "shotgun_doubleshot" - shotgun ability to perform a double-shot.
- "0" - disabled. [default]
- "1" - enabled.

* "weapon_autoswitch_fix" - smart autoswitch if _cl_autowepswitch is enabled.
- "0" - disabled.
- "1" - enabled. [default]

* "weapon_silentpickup" - silent weapon pick up ability.
- "0" - disabled.
- "1" - enabled. [default]

* "sniper_zoom_reset" - resets awp and scout zoom after fire.
- "0" - disabled.
- "1" - enabled.
- "2" - doesn't reset awp zoom, forces scout zoom to stay.
- "3" - resets awp zoom, forces scout zoom to stay. [default]

* "glock_recoil" - visual recoil for glock.
- "0" - disabled.
- "1" - enabled. [default]


Additional info:
Tested in Counter-Strike 1.6 with amxmodx 1.8.3 (dev build hg83). You may find servers what are using this plugin by pasting "weapon_balance" cvar in search options.


Notes:
This plugin only modifies bullet power, accuracy in some cases, and recoil percentage - it does not change recoil to anything totally new. It took several months for this plugin to see daylight; initial event what triggered creation of this mod is VALVe's statement that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will have balanced weapons.


Warnings:
It is highly recommended to install Accuracy Fix, Rate of Fire Fix, Sniper Crosshairs and Reload Animation Fix plugins before this one (in that order). Also it is not suggested to pause this plugin non-manually.

* Scout
- Power: 87.5%

- Notes: Acts like a shotgun due to faster rate of fire, and is accurate when running while un-zoomed.

* AWP
- Power: 97.5%
- Recoil: Same.

- Most efficient: From average-long to long ranges.
- Notes: AWP does a massive amount of damage, but be prepared to take out your pistol to finish what you started. Good pistol choice is crucial. However you may zoom-in while reloading your bullet. Also after you fired, your speed is auto-reset - there is no need to tap Q twice.

- Notes: Spray and pray. Except 100 bullets will do all the praying for you. The most money required and in a sense the best automatic weapon in the game. But due to its weight, you might not want to go in the middle of the field on low bullets - it takes time to reload or run away.

Re: Weapon Balance Mod
 

Use this in zombie mod can balance zombie and human
P90 is useless without this plugin

Re: Weapon Balance Mod
 

Or even in default. Though some why I think this will be mostly used in gungame probably... But I personally hope, that it wont be mod-related thing.

Yes, when I first started creating this plugin - I was extremely happy with how P90 turned out. Did you know that in CS1.3 P90 was more used than MP5Navy? Or that was pre-1.3... Well, in those times it had different properties. :)

I just hope that after months of testing, I found the specifications right to be called balanced.
