Freeman's Mind Diffculty

Description
This is a difficulty change that is similar to Freeman's Mind, in a sense it takes a slightly more realistic approach. You could call this the "Realistic difficulty" but it's really not, since I'm trying to make it so it is realistic in certain areas but not trying to make it too difficult it's impossible.

It pretty much means: guns hurt, and enemies die easier.

This is actually a add-on for my add-on; Crowbar Collective changed how damage is out-putted. It used to be all in the skill file, but now the only damage you can change there is explosions and npc weapons you can't get a hold of: example, a tank's turret.
So this is my solution to that. Simple coding for the win.

Here's the original mod because it's the reason I made this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1907123797&searchtext=


The "I need help section" section
.It doesn't work? Try putting the .VPK file in a custom folder.
And here's the guide for that: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=502670746
(if it doesn't work) How to add the skill.txt file: I didn't exactly explain it very well(I even sorta gave up); however, the " "realistic" damage mod" by [P2:Abyss] Pac0master explained how to install it very well, so if you eat the dessert I gave you: Go tell 'em "Thank you".
"To install
Extract and replace the "Skill.cfg" from bms/cfg folder by the one provided here. [it's actually in the vpk file by the way]
You can find it at:
steamapps\workshop\content\362890\[1963084038]

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 "

@Convenient Spider, oh yikes, thanks for the warning... It's been awhile since I last played.

@Panthercat64 Oh no, never use Buddha. Due to a bug in the Source Engine update as of 2013, you can now die despite being in Buddha Mode. It happens if you take a certain specific amount of damage beyond your last hit.

@PacmanYT09

Go to the console, and type "sv_cheats 1" and hit enter
Then type "buddha" and hit enter.

That should help work around the bug.

Does this need the original mod for it to work? Just to make sure

There are a few things with the AI that make this mod a pain. For example, apperantly the soldiers have x-ray vision. So even if they don't see you trying to flank them, they'll start supress firing where ever you go, boxing you in.
Not impossible, but very annoying when you have no health.

Then there is definitely something wrong with the ai in my game

Well... this isn't meant to make the game easier. If anything it makes it harder and forces you to be more cautious than before.

i appreciate the balance changes, cause i didn't do well in the main game altogether
