God I love this mod, especially on hard. I love that it forces me to actually think in combat as going guns blazing almost always guarantee's death. I love that the enemies don't shoot peanuts and actually pack a punch. I love that the enemies aren't bullet shields.

If you could, can you make this mod work for Blue Shift? If not that's okay and if it does work on BS then I'm gonna be rlly happy :>

first i thought this didnt work, then i noticed 50 bullets max for 9mm. eeerm, how am i supposed to play like this if i need 30 shots to take down 1 enemy? also u write in ur xml at inflict dmg scale 3 "If you go higher, it will take more than 2 headshots to kill marines with MRD" are u sure thats how it works? btw i need more then 2 headshots already the way it IS setup. i very much suspect some changes in the skill.cfg just dont work anymore :/

should I copy over the .vpk file to my custom folder as well? or just copy over the misc folder

I'm going to need someone to explain this to me--
So there is this WONDERFUL little file containing the specifics of a weapon's damage count, problem? I don't entire understand it when none of them are to be found in the actual Black Mesa game files. What is there to replace, let alone edit?

this mod is dogshit

Is the alternative option optional?

Still working?

How do i remove the increased spread?

But if I still take the same amount of damage like always it becomes too easy.. doesn't it?

the mod is great, but the Ichthyosaur can now be killed by one shot from a pistol and sometimes even dies by himself

Jeez, this took a while to make.

Does this stop me from getting achievements?

Do you have to remove the original skill cfg folder

Does this work with: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2068862348

The Black Mesa Character Expansion states it uses your hitbox mod for the Human NPCs, so this mod is compatible with that mod?

would you say this makes the enemies more difficult?

you should make a mod that makes all bullets projectiles

So how drastically will the mod be affected if I don't get the hitboxes mod? I have mods that replace the HECU models and I don't really want to part with them.

i cant beat the fricking apache, even on easy

How do I know this is installed or working correctly?

noticing the same issue as the guy below. most of the game has been alright so far, damage-taken wise. however, no matter how well i try to outmaneuver the chopper's guns and land a charged tau shot on it, i get mowed down before i have time to charge up a second shot, no matter what difficulty i'm on or how much health/power i have. the only way possible way to get past that part was to jump into the water and climbing up the tower before the helicopter could be triggered

@Mirellanmål I mean fight with tau canon which starts with helicopter destroing a bridge. Heli is hitting with every shot and dealing serious damage. I don't have anywhere to run or hide and heli has too much HP to be killed before it starts atacking. I'm on Black Mesa difficulty, but even on normal it's the same.

@SunBoi241 Yes, you do need to edit gameinfo.txt. There is a guide linked in the description.

@white n On what difficulty are you on? Normal, Black Mesa or Hard?

Do you mean the fight where you first acquire the RPG?

'cause it's not working when I just put the folder in without changing it.

Do you just put the folder in custom? or do you have to still edit gameinfo.txt?

I like challenges, but first fight with helicopter is just impossible

Cool. Thanks for updating the description.

@Iron The idea was that enemies would be easier to kill but the player would also die more easily. Which one may or may not enjoy.

@Gordon That makes no sense.

@Nitro Blitzen @Hermanver Ah, crap. I forgot to add back the description after updating the mod. Look in the description now, the instructions are there. Sorry about that.

@TBC Thanks. I might do it but right now I don't feel like it, I think.

@Iron Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. What difficulty setting did you play on? There are three options: Normal, Black Mesa and Hard.

I could increase the "damage taken" variable that controls damage taken by the player, which is now set to 0.75 on "Black Mesa". I had it higher at first but I felt some parts of the game would become too difficult for many players. Spots with many soldiers mostly. Do you think I should increase it? To combat the issue of soldier fights being to difficult I could perhaps lower the damage of the NPCs' weapons, but I would prefer not to.

How do I install this mod?

I am absolutely in favour of altering the ammo pickups and/or maximum carried ammo counts to help balance this mod. I think the design philosophy present in Alyx and Doom Eternal back this up pretty well. Plus the maps are already full of hidden loot piles, reinforcing the incentive to explore.
Feels really good though, just not balanced.

It says this mod has special installation instructions...but where are said instructions?

Makes the game way too easy, sadly. More realistic, but way too easy.

@AmenNoose @Hmmmmm The Workshop menu in-game is not functioning at the moment. It's being worked on by Crowbar. If this mod works, marines will die from 2 glock or MP5 headshots on any difficulty. Without the mod it will take more than that. There is one exception though in either scenario: When you catch them off-guard it seems to always take one headshot to kill them (maybe more without the mod), not sure why.

@Hmmmmm I can't help you troubleshoot unless you provide more information on what you have tried and in what way it doesn't work.

@Dr. Clef [LFG] @[SA]soul eater Okay, thanks for your input. For the record I wasn't thinking of making it as extreme as in Half-Life: Alyx .

Every mod i download doesn't work, and im following what it says to do to download mods, but nothing works.

not seeing them in the installed stuff in the game, I am fairly sure I did everything correctly.

lmao me downloading this right after i edit the cfg to make black mesa realistic

if you want to do that, make it a separate mod, like the hitbox changes.

I think I misspelled do'nt

Please don't.

I'm thinking of lowering the maximum amount of ammo you can carry and perhaps the amount of bullets in each clip. What do you guys think of that? I have personally never been out of ammo, and I think it's a bit boring that you barely have to worry about that. After playing Half-Life: Alyx, I can say that limited ammo certainly works and makes for fun gameplay.

@JiMiMi That's pretty cool. Thanks!

1000th Steam workshop item for BM! Congrats!
