[B42/B41]Fire Damage Rebalance

Description
Important
Tested on b41 and b42.
Should work on multiplayer.
Can be added or removed mid-game.

Summary
Simply makes fire do 6 times more damage to zombies and halves the damage to players.

Description
This feels much more fair, fun and realistic in my testing.
  • Burning zombies still live long enough to walk quite a distance and spread fire around a lot.
  • Players are still damaged quite a lot by fire but it isn't as much of a death sentence in harder maps/modes.

Background
I made this mostly to learn modding and to make the fire-heavy CDDA challenge less aggravating.

I know there is a great "Fire Resistance" mod by Tanuki available in the workshop but I didn't want to change its setting every time I start the CDDA challenge.

Also, having a simple, set-in-stone setting for fire damage might be useful for some multiplayer servers who want to show more transparency/fairness in their mods list.
..or perhaps to have this as a standard (especially for the CDDA run where kiting zombies around the fire is ideal but tiring.)

@Eren I think that may be a default thing with the HP bar mod. If you don't damage a zombie for a while, even without fire damage (melee/shooting/car damage), the HP bar will appear full next time you hurt them. However, you'll notice the HP bar emptying much faster next time you hurt them because their HP is not actually full.

Not sure if it's caused by this mod but zombies are healing to full health mid burning.

Finally tested my mods in both b41 and b42. Sorry if they were causing issues before!

Fixed! The quickest way to make sure you have the newest version is to unsub while the game is NOT running, re-subscribe, then run the game.

Thanks for the B42, Ez4EDP!
I finally got around to updating my mods and have updated this one with slightly different balancing to learn how to update mods and to provide an alternative balance which I think feels better in my experience having played with fire a lot.
