"Realistic" Damage

Description
!!!WARNING this isn't meant to be balanced!!!!


Ever wondered why some weapons felt underpowered? They're supposed to be designed to kill right? Why does it feels like I'm playing Airsoft?

Well now every bullets and explosion Hurts. Like a lot!


I don't feel like working on it anymore, here's another one you can try
!https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2033106571


To install
Extract and replace the "Skill.cfg" from bms/cfg folder by the one provided here.
You can find it at:
steamapps\workshop\content\362890\1088005422\Damage_Mod\bms\cfg

Note, I recommend you save a copy of the original Skill.cfg file otherwise you'll have to verify the game cache in order to uninstall the mod

What this mod does:

- Deadly explosion*
- Deadly weapon damage**
- Deadly Ninjas***
- Deadly Headcrabs****
- Increased weapon capacity*****

* The radius of most explosions has been increased (sometime even doubled)
The damage is nearly instant kill for all of them. so be carefull where you're going.
Now, if you see a grenade, I seriously recommend you to Run away. Same goes for Satchel charge and Tripmines

** Most weapons damage's has been increased so they kill enemies faster. Headshots are 8 time more effective, you'd most likely instant kill anyone with a bullet between the eyes.
The health of some enemies has also been changed since they don't use the Humanoid hitbox.
Guns are more effective than blunt weapons
This also applies to NPC against players. The damage is reduced since the player wears an armoured Hazmat suit, but the Head is still well in sight

*** I assume the "Ninjas" are well trained at what they're doing. They"re going to be much more dangerous + Gordon Freeman doesn't have a Helmet....

**** Since we don't have a Helmet, I assumed the headcrab would attack the Head. They'll deal quite a lot of damage, they'll be very deadly just like against any other NPCs. However, they have a very low amount of health, they shouldn't be hard to kill.

**** It's more of a Cheat, I might change it later if you guys don't like it.
I've increased the Max capacity of every weapons to 200.

Is the bloom problem fixed yet?

I know a lot of people posting in this thread have been complaining about the lighting. I noticed it seemed like bloom was cranked up for some reason.. I do see Lockyn also posted.. but I was pretty happy with myself that I found that you can disable bloom and it fixed the problem with mat_disable_bloom 1 in console and it fixed it :D

nice mod but it also makes it insane difficulty when dealing with human enemies or turrets...

@TheTermintator12 and anyone else experiencing the incredibly bright bloom that this mod seems to produce for some reason, simply open the console and type "mat_disable_bloom 1" that should fix it.
Putting that command in the starting prompts doesn't seem to work and an autoexec also didn't seem to work so it'll have to be done manually but worth it for this mod.
