As the topic says, i find pyro very weak next to other classes in this mod. As a game server's owner, i'd like to change it. And to do this, i would like to give a 25% damage bonus to every flamethrower in VSH mode. As well as i'd like to change the flaregun's damage to a higher one lets say from 90 >> 150.
I need to change the SP file to do this, and i would like to get help from any of you who can help. how can i change the flare gun's damage and the flamethrowers' damage in general ?
Thanks in advance to any helpers.

Want to revamp pyro to be so strong that he needs multiple nerfs?

Make your community aware of the wombo combo (airblast+melee).

Suddenly every pyro will be getting easy 3k+, annoyingly deny Hale's movement all the time, only be killable via rage, even then good pyros can flare jump, etc lolo.

Phlog can also be op with the change I made but there's also the other flamethrowers to look at.

Look for this function around line 2636

public Action:TF2Items_OnGiveNamedItem(client, String:classname[], iItemDefinitionIndex, &Handle:hItem)

Flaregun 90 -> 150 damage

        case 39, 351, 1081: //Megadetonator
        {
            new Handle:hItemOverride = PrepareItemHandle(hItem, _, _, "2 ; 1.67 ; 25 ; 0.5 ; 207 ; 1.33 ; 144 ; 1.0 ; 58 ; 3.2", true);

            if (hItemOverride != INVALID_HANDLE)
            {
                hItem = hItemOverride;

                return Plugin_Changed;
            }
        }

(red is the added code)

PHP Code:

case 21, 208, 40, etc..., 972:
    {
        new Handle:hItemOverride = PrepareItemHandle(hItem, _, _, "2 ; 1.25", true);

        if (hItemOverride != INVALID_HANDLE)
        {
            hItem = hItemOverride;

            return Plugin_Changed;
        }
    } 


And this would change flamethrowers. You'd need to add newly released flamethrowers in the future.

List all of the item definition indexes from here:

Backburner is already right below megadetonator so do that separately

        case 40:
        {
            new Handle:hItemOverride = PrepareItemHandle(hItem, _, _, "2 ; 1.25 ; 165 ; 1");
            if (hItemOverride != INVALID_HANDLE)
            {
                hItem = hItemOverride;
                return Plugin_Changed;
            }
        }

No. Often pyros just push for no reason. thats' because pyro is working hard for not a lot of damage. I've changed it.

Erm yeah, that's what I mean. If your players don't play pyro the way where you aren't working hard yet are getting a lot of damage then yes it's the weakest class. Worse damage than medic.

Whereas other communities (like Lethal Zone) have problems with pyro being OP lol
The only buff I think they have is that their shotguns ignite. I dunno if they have airblast jumping.

I for one doubled the cooldown between airblasts so they can't just 'control hale' for my server.

Slag gaming gives pyro minicrits if healed by a medic, which I was considering doing because although I wanted to nerf airblast spam I don't really want to nerf the damage outputs. The airblast thing doesn't really affect skilled pyros at all but it does do a good job of making less skilled ones not be just obnoxious.

At the same time I don't really want to buff damage outputs all that much more because that's going to make skilled pyros all the more dangerous.

Many thanks for your help. ^^

Skilled pyros must be more dangerous.
