do some hacking in the console

Thanks for the suggestion. My description may not be entirely accurate to the problem, since enemies like the headcrabs which should do 10 damage because of a mod I installed has now been overwritten to doing 5 damage. Maybe the game is somehow set to a certain difficulty based on the normal mode of Half Life 2? I’ll still try console commands but keep leaving suggestions in case it doesn’t work out.

check skill.cfg in game directory. maybe delete it if the values look wrong

I’m currently staying somewhere over the weekend so I won’t be able to see if this works until the end of Sunday but I’ll keep that in mind. More suggestions please until then.
The last thing I can remember about this problem is that it also carried over to different base mods. Houndeyes that used the VJ base did 3 damage as opposed to 25, this may be because their connected to combine soldiers in some way which do the same amount of damage (houndeye blasts are similar to the blast from energy balls).
Some enemies using VJ Base also did their leap attacks way faster than I remember but I’ll see if this is connected to the damage problem on Sunday.

the game is 100% set to hl2's easy mode

reset game integrity in steam options

Has Linux won? Every time I click anything I go to a black screen and this appears until I click again.

What the fuck happened?

I just left my house for the weekend and came back to this. Don’t worry it’s working now. I just had to flip the switch next to the power cord off and on.

>>32747
I’ll update soon on if you guy’s suggestions worked

>>32723
You mean verifying the game’s integrity? I tried that and it didn’t work.

I found some files labeled skill1.cfg, skill2.cfg, and skill3.cfg. I deleted them and I’ll see what happens.

>>32750
Didn’t work so I’ll also delete skill.cfg

>>32751
Ok the weapons now do more damage, while the enemies do the same amount as before (less than they should). The pistol and smog now do 12 damage while the pulse rifle does 11.

>>32752
I verified the integrity of the files so now the problem’s the same as before

Oh. I typed “skill 2” into the gmod console and it worked!

>>32754
nice job

>>32755
Thanks for the help. I’ll be using the campaign entities mod to make a very interesting save that I’ll link here once it’s done. Should take a day or two.

>>32756
Anticipating this.
Have a great whatever.

>>32757
Sorry. I had a better idea for a save and am working on that now. It’s gonna be made up of 4 different saves so it’ll take a lot longer. Maybe 2 more days.
