Changing max health/suit power? Created 5 years ago2019-04-17 13:00:54 UTC by pakikakiker

For example, I'd like to lower the suit's power cap to 50 instead of 100. How would I go about doing this? Thanks.

I recall doing something similar (increasing it to 200) in 2015. Basically, you'll have to change a line in weapons.h, in the HL DLL project.

Around line 95:
#define MAX_NORMAL_BATTERY 100
Set the number to something else you'd like. It will affect battery pickups.

For the chargers, you'll have to go to h_battery.cpp and manually change some stuff: (starting at line 164)

// charge the player
if (m_hActivator->pev->armorvalue < 100)
{
    m_iJuice--;
    m_hActivator->pev->armorvalue += 1;

    if (m_hActivator->pev->armorvalue > 100)
        m_hActivator->pev->armorvalue = 100;
}

I think that's about it.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome.

Worked great, but is there also a way to make the suit icon display as full when it reaches 50, rather than halfway?

I believe it's got something to do with this: (cl_dll/battery.cpp)

rc.top  += m_iHeight * ((float)(100-(V_min(100,m_iBat))) * 0.01);

So replace 0.01 with 0.02. I haven't tested this, but it should be that. It's around line 103, right after the #else line. Either way, the code for drawing that stuff on the HUD is there, so change it as you need.

Thanks!

Adding on to Admer's last post, you'll also need to replace the 100's in the function with whatever you've changed your max power to. The specific line is 84.
