Weapon damage

[Ank4]

I don't have any experience of coding(except in Games factory but that doesn't count), and I want to test some weapon dmg in HL2 without learning to code. Is there any way of editing any HL2 files with e.g. notepad? I haven't thought of a serious mod or anything, just wanna test. I think i have edited weapon dmg in HL1, but im not sure.

Fart-assing about with weapon damage is done by editing script files, rather than code, so you should be safe. Can't remember quite which file, but it's 'skills' or something.

I found some script files containing weapon data, and i could change things as ammo in clip, and firing modes. But I couldn't find any possible script for weapon damage! There was no "skills" or anything like in HL. But no big deal though, it isn't serious(yet).

It would be in the GCF, you'd just need to fiddle around with GCFScape

Thats what i did, the script files werent exactly direct in the HL2 directory. I'm gonna search some more later.

Hehe, found it! It was in source engine.gcf, and then in the cfg-directory there was a config named skill.cfg. Thanks for your help
