Drunk's Rebalance

This is a script mod that changes the following files:
- weapon_357.dmx
- weapon_crossbow.dmx
- weapon_crowbar.dmx
- weapon_glock.dmx
- weapon_mp5.dmx
- weapon_shotgun.dmx
- skill.cfg

What does this mod do?

- All weapons do more damage, including NPCs who are now on par with the player.
- Vortigaunts attack faster.
- Aliens do FAR more damage, so keep your distance!
- Tanks, aircraft, and other heavy armor NPCs have been tweaked to play nicely with the new balance changes.
- You can only carry about 1 magazine per ammo type (my attempt at making Gordon's massive arsenal make a little more sense and be more balanced).
- You swing the crowbar more slowly (to represent its weight).
- All NPCs are deadlier, faster, and more accurate with weapons.
- All explosives do more damage
- Frag grenades have a shorter fuse and a larger radius (to represent shrapnel).
- RPGs are the highest damaging explosive, but have the least radius (the RPG is an anti-armor weapon that focuses on penetrating heavy materiel rather than taking out groups of personnel).
- SMG grenades are a compromise between the frag and RPG, exploding on impact but lacking significant radius. Still does more than enough damage to wipe out any infantry. SMG grenades have also been tweaked to have more gravity and less velocity, making them feel weightier (and closer to the OG HL1 grenades).
- The glock is more accurate.
- The shotgun has been completely overhauled and geared towards close quarters combat in tight choke points. This was achieved by increasing bullet falloff (or decreasing range), increasing pellet load, increasing pellet spread, and decreasing damage per pellet. The double shot has also been made more unique because when you use it, your damage is boosted, but your range goes even lower, making it a good option for adding a little extra punch to a point blank shot (enough to 1-shot an alien grunt).
- Bigger and brighter flashlight. You're welcome.
