Reply With Quote #1

I have a server which i've changed the rate of fire on almost all the weapons.
I'd also like to modify the backburner with a faster rate and perhaps how much ammo it cost to use it.

in the medic i know to that moding the ubercharge would look something like this:
sm_cvar weapon_medigun_charge_rate 1

anyone know if its the same in backburner?
i've looked in the flamethrower.ctx filez but can't find that option to mod.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

wanna check my server

Hello,

I believe that Backburner is also moidified from the flamethrower.ctx.

Hope that helps,

Hello again,

What aspect of the backburner did you want to mod?

(By the way, I went on your server - It's very nice, what SpawnProtection plugin did you use? Do you have a link?)

Thanks

I know what all of the lines do, if you tell me what you want modding I can give you the line.

(Please send me a link to the Spawn Protection plugin you use)

Thank you for the compliment on the server. Actually my question is about the flamethrower now that I think of it. You know how you can right click with the regular flame thrower and it pushes pple off? ( i cant think of the name right now). I'd like to change the delay on that so you can push pple really fast and it would only cost 1 in metal not 25.

Hello again,

This is something I have been modding on my server too.

I couldn't seem to mod the BackBurner to have the air blast so I placed on the MOTD that it's recommended that the regular flamethrower is used.

As for the amount of ammo it takes up, you cannot change this. The only ammo you can change is the metal the sentry need to upgrade.

I would recommend you changed the ammo so each player has something like 5000 ammo as pyro, then they could use plenty of ammo or air blasts without worrying about whether they have used all their ammo. This is a very simple method that can confuse people, so I will show you what I did.

My server runs on an 'infinite' ammo mod that I did by changing the clip size of the weapons to 99999, and also by going to the class CTX files and changing the clip ammo and all other ammo files to 99999 as well. I run my server on the basis that (even with rapid fire) no one is going to use 99999 rounds of ammo.

If you would like to try out my server, there is a link in my signiture.

I hope this helps, if it does, some reputation would be appriciated. ;)

Thanks,

Lord Max

PS: Thanks for the Spawn Protection link.

So theres no way to mod the air blast ,huh? I'll probably start modding the reload time to make it faster.

I appreciate your help... Thank you

my 2 servers where i've modded the rate of fire.

Yes, that CVAR would work, but it would only define ammo used.

It wouldn't define the weapon, for example, that wouldn't get the blast working on the BackBurner.

It would be good if someone could write a pluging for the Air Blast on the BackBurner.

Thanks,

Lord Max

PS: My help is not a problem, that's what this forum is about. We are allied modders after all.
