I severely need to know how to do this as the sniper needs to be better balanced on my crit server. Its the last class that needs balancing.

I checked cvars and found nothing. Is there any way like one of the server-side files for instance?

Can't you block/modify the "player_hurt" or "player_death" event in a plugin?

[Cooltad]

I don't do plugins so..

Take a look at the Hooker extension.

You can hook HK_OnTakeDamage and change the damage dealt.

I think a plugin request is in order. =D
Edit: The hooker extention's HK_OnTakeDamage does not work, as stated so in it's thread.

Is there any way other than a plugin to change how much damage is done when its a critical hit for the sniper rifle?
I tried editing sniperrifle.ctx and changed the 'damage' from 4 to 1 but that had no effect at all.

I haven't seen any other way to modify damage

Are you trying to lower the damage amount it inflicts? or increase it?

[Cooltad]

I'm trying to lower the damage amount "headshots" increase, as that is the only time the sniper crits; on my all-crit server (where i try to do class balancing) the sniper is always way overpowered because it always gets crits and those crits are very very powerful.

So yes, I wish to decrease the damage scale on the sniperrifle's crits to probly either .75 of what it is normally or .5 (50% or half).

I read that the sniper rifle's crit damage is hardcoded into valve's stuff, so you can't change it at all.

Could you just lower the normal damage a sniper rifle shot did? (Since a crit multiplies the original damage.)
