Hello..

I been looking at the cvars for hours now..
I cant see where i change the damage done by hunter rifes..

Could some one make a plugin with a cfg or cvars that get added to the server.cfg

Someting like.
xxx_Rifle_dmg = 90
xxx_m4_dmg = 45

excetera..
(maybe have close medium and long range.)

many thanx

in case you do not like my hunting rifle from hell
make a copy of the original weapon_hunting_rifle.txt,rename it to weapon_hunting_shityrifle or whatever
than just open the weapon_hunting_rifle.txt with notepad,notepad++ or whatever you use, delete everything in there and than
just copy and paste my file above and click save ,
restart server,
enjoy

thats no good because my server forces that the users have the same files.

Agree, changing weapon scripts wont give us anything, its the same as installing custom models, which would work only in singleplayer.

I think its possible though, because "player_hurt" event has "weapon" key, which can help us to detect what wepon is being used, and then modify damage depending on weapon type.

We can even check distance between attacker survivor and victim infected - to further modify damage depending on distance, however i personally find that default weapon settings is quite balanced already. So, maybe someone else will take this idea and make plugin.

Is nobody using the search, ever? "sm_damage"

[dave_with_beer_bottle]

have you tried it ?? because it works on my server,its dealing bigger dmg as melee, having 45 bullets clip and always making biggest dmg to the tank and witch is soo easy with it(not like she is not with shotgun) but u don't have to go even close to her, i havent been touching the other weapons since i'm not really using them,but it works...at least on my server,so idk why it shouldn't work on yours..(its rented server from gameservers)
