Changing Enemy Stats

Guide to fix Difficulty switching (making game harder or easier for accessibility) Half-Life: MMod image 9

You should have a notepad looking like this (my file is already edited.)

Difficulty stats in the notepad go from easy to hard

// Alien Grunt

sk_agrunt_health1 "60" <--------easy

sk_agrunt_health2 "90" <--------medium

sk_agrunt_health3 "120" <--------hard

copy the text dump 1&2 (replacing all the text) and paste it in your file and select save before exiting

(The text dump is all stats defaulted to hard difficulty)

You can change as you desire.. to make the game easier or harder.

Not sure how important formatting is but add part 1 and 2 onto each other continuing the formatting

Guide can be quickly tested by selecting Half-Life/Residue Processing and fighting the first headcrab it'll do 15 damage instead of 10.

Please drop a comment and rate if this helped you or you spotted something wrong in my guide (i don't proof read)

Have fun playing the best game ever made imo :)
