Hey, I was wondering what files were necessary in editing SWBF 2 when making the combat more real? What I'm getting at is stuff like recoil, ammounts of damage/unit health ammounts, ect., if I were to make a map that included units with 1-2-hit kill weapons and recoil. Sort of like with TEC mod. Thanks.

Well, in order to make a 1/2 hit kill: 1. go to the gun ODF ord that you wish to edit, 2. you will find the line "maxdamage=???" change that to what a normal units health is, 3. then save the ODF and munge. Hope I helped

Good, thanks. Now, if anyone could answer the other half about recoil...?

Great, but what file contains that line? The weapon ODF? Or do I add that in?

The ODF that is not the ord.

Alright, thanks.

Blah, sorry for the DP, but nobody's going to notice if I just edit. How do I make blaster shots go faster? I noticed a topic mentioning such a feature, but I don't know ODF editing very well, and I would like to know what line would be needed (or what line should be edited) to make it work.

Velocity = "500.0"

In the concerned weapon's .ord.odf

You should have edited, that post was only a few minutes after your previous one, don't do it again.

Also, the unit health line is usually in the parent odf for the class (for example: imp_inf_default_officer), but you can use it in the child odf if you want to override without changing it for all the variations. Just find the MaxHealth line, or add it in.

Someone's already made a combat realism mod, with recoil, more damage etc. It's on swbf files. Although if you want to make your own that's fine

Yeah, its Eisenfaust's Tactical Enhanced Combat (TEC) mod. I have the SWBF1 version on my comp, the SWBF2 one is supposed to be good too.

Also, play around with the Shot Spread settings. Both the Spread per shot in the weapon odfs, and the Movement Spread settings in the parent odfs.

Another way to add combat realism is to make alternate fire mode weapons. Just make a new weapon odf, for instance, copy the rifle odf, then to make it semi auto, find TriggerSingle = "0" and change it to 1. One shot per click of the fire button. Save it under a different name, then call it in the Unit odf and add
WeaponShareAmmo = # of weapon you want it to share ammo with here.

Woah, VF, not all at one time! I'm not that good with ODFs :p. I don't really understand them that much...

Anyway, I'm not going to make a side mod with this (I might, but not now). I'm actually going to add this to a map so it's much more realistic. I find the SWBF 2 kills way, way too easy.
