how do you modify weapon characteristics?

[mandown]

In doom3 it was really easy to mod the weapons in singleplayer, is it just as easy in hl2? I want to edit the smg to have less spread and lower the damage since after you do that youll end up with more bullets hitting the target (I reduced the spread of the doom3 shotgun to a much more realistic amount and I ended up with one shot kills even from far away, had to drop the damage way down to balance it)

If I can edit the weapon config files for single player where are they located?

It's easy but it's not like Doom3. There are no cfg files to edit. You have to open the weapons.cpp and change the cone radius and the damages of the weapon and recompile the client file.

Edit: ...Well, if it's like HL.

I think we'll have to wait till they
a)release the rest of the sdk
b)release a link to the hl2 files.

Yesterday I looked in the gcf files and I found a skill.cfg. You could modify it to tweak some settings... until we actually get the full SDK.
