Or there might be another way (probably is) but I experimented with it a while back and the animations always broke unless I used the existing swings.

Yes as far as I know you can only reuse whats already there unless you want to make custom animations

oh wait, you can only change the millisecond from either of each swing's og millisecond?, not customise it?

The Tonfa has 2 swings. The first swing is 1 second, the next is 0.8 seconds. I could make them both 0.8 seconds.

can you do a .1 swing speed as experimental version?
Geebanger0  [author] 28 Jun @ 10:34pm 
Yes but the difference will come down to fractions of a second. It won't be anywhere near what you're imagining with fists of fury. You likely won't even be able to tell the difference.

a faster melee attack speed, from the simple one
Geebanger0  [author] 28 Jun @ 4:24am 
Which one?
Fawk Meias 28 Jun @ 1:45am 
do you think you can do it?

As far as I know, it can be done in 2 ways.

Melee weapons are controlled by weapon.txt script files. These files contain information relating to the swing patterns; which direction the weapon is swung, which animations are played, which hitrays to draw, etc.

The simplest way of buffing a melee is to add or change the swing pattern to a faster one. A melee might have 3 different swings in its swing pattern, EG: Swing 1 = 0.6 seconds, Swing 2 = 0.8 seconds, Swing 3 = 0.75 seconds. You can edit the weapon.txt script and change swings 2 and 3 to be identical to swing 1, making the pattern faster overall. You could also add a 4th swing, which matches swing 1.

The other way is similar, but instead of copying existing swings you make new ones. I think it requires new animations to be made though.

i was just trying to find one ebcause i want to make the fist tonfa mod to be a barrage of punches, only wanted that for the goofiest reasons
Geebanger0  [author] 27 Jun @ 4:20am 
In theory, yes, but it's very limited and you can only barely buff the weapons
Fawk Meias 27 Jun @ 12:54am 
is their any way to make melee attackspeed much more faster? i havent seen anything or something close to it in the workshop.

unsubscribe, remove it from your addons folder, restart your game

unsubscribed to this mod, and it still lingering. having to troubleshoot right now. not asking for help, just letting you know.

Since i love rocket dude, I know that the revolver or magmun whatever you call it, has an incredible knockback, can you do a mod that gives a massive knockback to all firing weapons? that would be so awesome!

Hopefully someone much more experienced and dedicated on modding manages to achieve this.

In any case, interesting mod lad
Geebanger0  [author] 21 Oct, 2024 @ 11:36pm 
it SHOULD be possible. I was never able to get it working because i couldnt see any difference between test runs.

some cvars also have maximum allowable values; go over this and it breaks shit. but the max values arent documented anywhere.

youre right, it would take a lot of time and effort to get it working, then even more time and effort to get it working well
M̶a̶d̷ ̷A̵n̴d̸r̵o̴i̸d 21 Oct, 2024 @ 11:34pm 
I see.

But well, at least it IS possible. It just requires time and dedication
Geebanger0  [author] 21 Oct, 2024 @ 11:08pm 
it is, but its done using cvars. Its not easy to make since a lot of the cvars you need have 0 documentation as to how they work or what they do. They're also very difficult to test as they can only be adjusted when the game is first started, meaning every change requires you to restart your game. I've tried to make them in the past and its a very time consuming process

I wonder if something similar like this can be done but for the guns, something like killing floor (where when you kill a zed with a gun, the corpse gets knocked back a bit). If possible I think the knockback would be even a bit more reduced than this addon, in my opinion.
Geebanger0  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 12:19pm 
Yeah but it says you can adjust the damage the weapons deal against it. So just make the damage each weapon deals a lot lower, but not 0
Kaiser Adradum 20 Oct, 2024 @ 11:53am 
yep, more stronger but not inmortal
Geebanger0  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 11:30am 
It’s customisable though. Couldn’t you just change it to make it stronger?
Kaiser Adradum 20 Oct, 2024 @ 9:03am 
That addon isn't bad, but it would be interesting to give the riot zombie more resistance, because right now it dies too easily, and of course, depending on the weapon's power
Geebanger0  [author] 19 Oct, 2024 @ 7:30pm 
whats wrong with that one exactly?
Geebanger0  [author] 19 Oct, 2024 @ 6:19pm 
can you link that mod? itd help to have a starting point
Kaiser Adradum 19 Oct, 2024 @ 5:01pm 
Hey, could you make a mod where riot zombies can die when shot, but without losing their toughness? I have a mod that adds riot zombies, and I know there's already one on the workshop, but it makes the riot zombies very weak. I'd like them to be tough, but not immortal
