Hey. So few weeks ago, we started our own 4d1 server which has became kinda popular. Now we're wondering on how to lower ump damage since it's heavily overpowered. I read the tutorial regarding modifying weapon stats, but no matter how I type the code, ump damage stays the same in game. This is what my currect damage gsc looks like (the important part):

Callback_PlayerDamage_internal( eInflictor, eAttacker, victim, iDamage, iDFlags, sMeansOfDeath, sWeapon, vPoint, vDir, sHitLoc, psOffsetTime )
{

if ( getDvar("g_gametype") == "oitc" && sWeapon == "turret_minigun_mp" || getDvar("g_gametype") == "gg" && sWeapon == "turret_minigun_mp" || getDvar("g_gametype") == "ss" && sWeapon == "turret_minigun_mp" )
{
	iDamage = 0;
}
       if(isSubStr(sWeapon, "ump45_")) // if you want the weapon to do the damage no matter which attachments

	iDamage = 1;

if ( !isReallyAlive( victim ) )
	return;

 

So, I download my server's iw_25.iwd, change it to .zip, extract it, modify the .gsc file like that and then reverse the progress and upload it back. Nothing happens, the damage stays the same.

 

I also noticed that there's a separate _damage.gsc file in a different folder, but replacing that doesn't help neither.

 

I tried searching, but none of the threads I came across really proved to be much help.

 

Thanks.

if(isSubStr(sWeapon, "ump45_")) 
{
iDamage = 1; //means 1 bullet does 1 damage
}

Right thanks, i'll try it out when the server is less crowded.

 

Second question, I noticed killcams aren't slow-mo'ed in 4d1 as they were in mw2, is there any non-mod way of fixing this?

EDIT: Never mind, I figured that out myself.

IW4M doesn't use iw_25.iwd.

 

Take your custom _damage.gsc and replace the _damage.gsc in \gamefolder\m2demo\maps\mp\gametype\

(may be \gametypes\)

Yep, big thanks to you guys, got it working. I set it to 30 which means 3-shot kills with stopping power. Not overpowered, nor underpowered.

 

The reason why it didn't work in the first place was cause my server had some auto-update function which immediately replaced my modified _damage.gsc upon uploading it. The admin disabled that function and voilГЎ, it works like a charm.

Hmm, I came across a weird bug now. When I lowered ump damage down, also melee attack (knifing) deals 30 damage with UMP. What's going on? How is this even possible? Help is appreciated. Thanks

You also have to add (&& sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE") because even when meleeing the sWeapon is still ump so yea.

Okay, thanks. Do I need to define MOD_MELEE damage separately or it's written in that function already?

 

 

if(isSubStr(sWeapon, "ump45_")) (&& sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE")

{

iDamage = 1; //means 1 bullet does 1 damage

}

 

Sorry, im noob with gsc but i'd like to learn. Is that even close to how i should type it?

if(isSubStr(sWeapon, "ump45_") && sMeansOfDeath != "MOD_MELEE")
{
iDamage = 1; //means 1 bullet does 1 damage
}

That's right

Right, thanks. I used with one extra bracket and the server didn't start, but should work now. I'll test once i get home.

Should work fine.

Yep, works fine now. I just love when hardcore umpnoobs don't know why they suck all of sudden.

 

Thanks to everyone for helping me out.
