Changing SP weapon damage

[Imrightyourleft]

As the title says - how do I go about raising or lower the amount of damage that a weapon inflicts on an NPC? I've checked the weapon.dat but I can't see anything which changes this...?

You have to change it in the code itself.  Take a look at this tutorial: http://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/131-how-to-create-a-new-weapon-mp/

 

The steps for singleplayer are relatively similar, you just have to look at slightly different files eg: g_weapon.cpp

OpenJK's SP allows custom weapon.dat with damage entries but the defaults of course are not in the weapon.dat file so you'd have to still go through the code to find the right values for SP.

Single Player, right?

For damage inflicted by player: you can change into weapon.dat adding damage and altdamage value to the weapons strings.

NOTE: this require openjk.

 

for NPC damage.

You need to change into the code. you can see how is setted NPC damage into My SP weapon Tutorial.

it's defined on weapons.h

Thanks for your responses and for all the info.

Only trouble is that I've been advised against using OpenJK with JK2 SP as it's buggy and unstable. I've already tried it with JK2 SP before and couldn't get past the main menu.

OpenJK doesn't ship with JK2 support at all.  You'd have to compile it yourself.
