Owh wow, this is hilarious... will be investigating the raw files when I get back home...

After investigating z_weapons.iwd for awhile, this is what I get:

M40
Damage = 90
Multiplier to head = 2 (180 dmg)
Multiplier to torso = 1.2 (108 dmg)

R700
Damage = 95
Multiplier to head = 2 (190 dmg)
Multiplier to torso = 1.2 (114 dmg)

THEIR MATHS ROXX!!! LETS PLAY THIS MOD FTW!!!

Errr.... mind to elaborate on "random things"?

Heh? Don't mind if you can repeat it for confirmation?

Owh yeah baby, lets party! I'm feeling horny, coz da mod is so sexy.

If you guys are referring to perks, I don't see how "unpredictable" they're.... most perks are pretty well balanced against each other.

Okay, my sarcasm talk ends here for today.

If you guys seriously want to adopt this mod for the next tourney, I strongly implore you to modify the z_weapons.iwd file. The weapons are pretty screwed up.

The reason why it's not 100% is because it involves human interference. The game itself is NOT random, only the player is.

And that'll be due to human error

Chill man, tolerance is the key to a peaceful community.

Remember your pendidikan moral? Mesti mengamalkan nilai toleransi.

I've checked the raw files, there're no changes in all the weapons' recoil (with the exception of M40, which has a slighty harder downward kick).

The reason why the recoil feels different is most probably because the weapons does not sway. No matter where does the recoil kick, it'll definately return to the center of the screen without that "dreadful" sway; unlike the default game where the recoil will settle where the gun last swayed to.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the side note,

I can't believe that the moron who made this DAMN mod can make such retarded comments like this:


"...had their range reduced..."

Probably the "smartest" quote of the century. This guy totally misunderstood the in-game concept of "range".

Here's a simple illustration on how "range" works in-game:

"Range", is the transition from one damage value to another across distance. From the image above, the AK-74u deals 40 damage before 750 range (blue line), damage will decrease gradually from 40 to 20 from 750 to 1000 range respectively(green line), and will continue traveling with a constant 20 damage after 1000 range and beyond (red line). The bullet will only disappear at 8192 range.
TIPS: 1 unit of in-game "range" equals to 0.025 meters.

What this idiot did was that he reduced the "range" in hope that the "sniper AK-74u" problem will be solved miraculously.... IF 750 range (or 18 meters) is considered "sniping" to him, then I have nothing better to say.

No matter how he change the numbers for "range", it'll never solve the "sniper smg" problem as long as the mindamage is 20. Instead of addressing the real issue (hint: gun sway), this kid confronted with things that are not related to the problem at all.

This "genius" of the century deserves a dunce cap as his Nobel prize.

Yep, in the stock game, you'll need to compensate for the sway unlike the "no sway fix" mod.

Well, I wouldn't call it no sway "fix" btw, removing idling from the guns destroys the game balance instead of repairing it.

You see, not all guns in the stock game sway in the first place, only about half of them do. And the reason why IW chose certain guns to sway while others don't is because of one simple answer: Balance. By removing the gun sway, those guns that do not sway in the first place will be outclassed by those that do.

Hence, it shouldn't be called "no sway fix". It should be called "no-sway destruction mod".
