In the txt files in /scripts/ in your mod (or valve game) folder, you can change the name, for example in 'weapon_pistol.txt' you can change

Code: Select all

"printname"   "#HL2_Pistol"

to what ever you want

^No, incorrect, it's different but I can't come up with it, I should know this and I knew it, but it's gone atm :\

Damage can be changed using the skill.cfg in your /cfg/ folder of your mod/game using the sk_plr_dmg_*weapon* for the player's gun and for enemy npc's sk_npc_smg_*weapon*.

Try using the Valve Developer Communitymore often, they have quite some info on almost anything.

gamename_english.txt in the resource folder will do names, or just edit their weapon script to make it support only a single language.

For damage, if it's hl2, use the console commands such as sk_plr_dmg_weapon, if hl2mp based, the weapon scripts usually contain the damage setting.

Do you think using the console commands is better than changing the variables those commands get their value from?

this is a bit of a bump, but It really depends on how you're packaging your content.

If it's a map pack, then the console command is obviously the way to go, because it would be silly to make players overwrite their stock configs just so they can play a community map. but if it's a mod, then the cfg is the obvious choice because you won't have to reset it each time you play.

Well you can't rename guns using console commands, afaik.
