damage adjustment Created 19 years ago2005-07-03 10:24:54 UTC by vexus

how can i adjust the damage i do using a weapon to make it higher amounts of damage or lewer amounts of damage

I think you need to change the model's .qc file! But it might be done with spirit!

.qc file whats that (note that i am new to mapping/modeliing)

When you will decompile the model file you will find this notepad file! It gives the model an AI(thoughts),damage,streange,origin(the middle of the model),hit boxes...ect. If you are new to mapping then I seggest you to start with easier things to know hammer,read the tutorials,to look at example maps and in finished maps,to map a few maps and get good at mapping and only then move on to modeling,spirit and even coding!

Not QC files, Skill.cfg in your pak file or in the root directory of your mod.

Mmmmm...changing the hardness of skill levels never thought of that!

ive found the skill.cfg. But where do i save it so it takes affect?

Half-life/valve I think! If it's not in any sub folder found in the pak then yes if it's in a subfolder then the directory is half-life/valve/the sub folder's name

its not working. Ive placed the notepad file in halflife/valve and renamed it skill.cfg but it didnt work

For which game are you mapping?

why renaming it? Its already named skill.cfg

because when i try to save it it says i cant save it as skill.cfg in the valve folder

Just open up Notepad, Make sure skill.cfg is not read-only, edit a load of values, and save

It works for me. But make sure you just change values - don't mess with it too much.
