Venice Unleashed

Hi there,

I want setup softcore (normal) server, but with hardcore damage level.
Can somebody advice what server files need to research for changing damage model? Any help will be appreciated.
Was trying to look into mp_common and mp_common2 files, but didnt find anything useful

Best regards, Freeshnik

you look here?

BFBC2_Server_R30_Full\dist\linux\levels\mp_common
example:
\level-00\Objects\Weapons\Handheld\BU_rif_M16A2\BU_rif_M16A2_Firing.dbx" ?

thx for reply. gonna try this.

Actually, on hardcore you don't change the damage of the weapons, but the health of the players to 60 instead of 100.

You could do this manually by Changing all dbx files in Objects\Soldiers\RU/US with the max health set to 60.

Thank you for great idea.
btw on bf wiki i found this article: http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Hardcore

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, there are several concepts that make Hardcore a more realistic experience than a regular multiplayer game"
40 health, rather than 100

So anyways i just play around settings..

So at last do you find the code? I can't find it .. help me = =....

Yes, i find.

Go to your server folder -> dist -> linux -> levels -> mp_common -> make backup level-00.fbrb file, then - open it in BFBC2Modtools.

In right side select file -> Objects -> Soldiers -> RU & US

Here all 16 soldiers (8 per team), select soldier -> press Ctrl+F and search <field name="MaxHealth">100.0</field>. Here two stings, you need first, then change it what ever you want (40 is HC mode of BFBC2, 60 is like BF3 HC, and setup 1000 for Rambo mode ).

After changes in every soldier u must press Archive button and SaveDBX in modtools. If you look at string under - you see heal options, thats how i disable auto regen

P.S. Post here you server name, i'll join to check out what have you done

I'm sure if there are any hosting rules that this would be breaking them, because you basically trick players into playing hardcore against their will. I doubt that a server like this would have any players.

I used the 60hp logic in [Baidu]6#server, but you'd better go to see it after GMT time 1/21 2:00. Because now there are many players playing in my server so I will not change the files now.
BTW.. I changed the time of corpses from 15.0 to 600.0. THX for your help!

The wiki entry is wrong. The hardcore health modifier is 0.6, and 0.6*100=60.
