(READ DESC.) Re-Balanced Ammo & Damage

Now I know, this is nothing new. Fact is, this was supposed to be a private mod. (Like, some of these changes are straight up taken from/are similar to other mods, credits down below though) However, I'm publishing it as an anonymous request from a friend while I was figuring out HL2 modding stuff on my own.

Regardless, why re-balanced? I wouldn't exactly call it like that actually. I'm no game designer and I think HL2 on its own is actually really well balanced. But then...

• I simply feel like the max reserve ammo count and damage output for some of the base game's weapons is a little lower than they should be.
  You could argue that for the worse ones, they have a higher skill floor and these changes go against their purpose.
  While partially true, it's no secret that the average player will prioritize certain weapons over others which they'll leave behind. I made this mod so that pretty much all of them are a solid choice in combat for the casual player, all without changing their values too much (Except for the Pistol which you normally wouldn't use it for anything besides weaker enemies).
  
• Other weapons take me out of my "immersionnn..." because their magazine cap is inaccurate in comparison to their real life counterparts.
  And yet, NO MOD has offered a solution to the fact that you, FOR WHATEVER REASON, need to load a save from HL2:EP2 for the weapon scripts to work EXCEPT for this one random mod for crosshairs (Check out credits) which EVEN THEN is an indirect solution that I found out accidentally.
  
• Even if it still requires a manual installation, it's still a solution regardless and I even oversimplified it so that you technically no longer require external programs.

So I decided to make the perfect ammo count and damage tweaks mod of my dreams!
(Sorry if my rant sounded selfish or rude idk)




This mod changes the magazine cap for certain weapons (Pistol, SMG and Shotgun) via Scripts. To apply these changes correctly, you used to need to load a save from Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

If you don't want to go through that hassle EVERYTIME you launch the game, follow these steps:

1. Download from the following link and extract the zip's contents: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b9XfOJ34XCeMSQWIj3Rz3vGiiGwj2KEr/view?usp=sharing
   
2. Inside the main folder you'll find another two, one of them is a backup for a file you're going to need to replace with the other folder.
   
3. Copy the hl2_complete folder inside the main folder.
   
4. Go to your HL2 game files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2 and paste it, replacing everything.
   
5. You're done! If done correctly, you should be able to see that the cap from the weapons previously mentioned has changed without needing to load a save from HL2:EP2 as long as you're subscribed to this mod or any other mod that changes the magazine capacity.

And if you wish to revert these changes, just do exactly the same thing except that you copy the hl2_complete from inside the backup folder instead and unsubscribe.

• Dmg: 10 > 17

Increased damage, you may actually use it for combat a little besides headcrabs, but chances are you won't either way.
However, you can destroy wood without slowing down (Only requiring 1-2 hits).

• Cap: 18 > 15
  
• Ammo: 150 > 120
  
• Dmg: 5 > 10

Decreased cap for accuracy with real life USP Matches.
Increased damage so it's still somewhat reliable in the late-game. You can actually kill combine soldiers with it as long as you place a few quick shots on their heads without needing a godlike precision with the revolver, which on itself has a delay between shots.
This makes it a solid option along with the revolver for quick kills depending on your skill. In turn, the decreased reserve ammo should make it a tad more fair.

• Ammo: 12 > 18
  
• Dmg: 40 > 47

Increased reserve ammo. If you fail too many of your shots, you'll still have some spare ammo, but if you don't, you get a lot more. Slightly increased damage.

• Cap: 45 > 40
  
• Ammo: 225 > 240
  
• Dmg: 4 > 6
  
• Alt: 3 > 5

Decreased cap for accuracy with real life MP7s (They can also carry 20 and 30, but for the sake of sticking close to vanilla, I've chosen 40). Slightly increased reserve ammo to compensate for the decreased ammo capacity.
Slightly increased damage so combine soldiers won't be complete bullet sponges without being as powerful as the AR2.
Increased reserve alt fire grenades as to differentiate from the AR2's alt fire, as the SMG's is weaker.

• Cap: 6 > 8
  
• Ammo: 30 > 32
  
• Dmg: 8 > 9

Increased cap for accuracy with real life SPAS-12s. Slightly increased ammo taking in consideration the extra eight cap. Slightly increased damage.

• Ammo: 3 > 5

Increased reserve ammo so that you don't need to get rockets from ammo crates repetitively when fending off against striders and gunships.
Rocket crates will still give you three, but you can just shoot one then grab another three and use all of your five rockets uninterruptedly.
