Welcome to ActionDragon's Counter-Strike: Source Weapon Balance Mod.
The goal of this mod is to try to make all weapons worth their cost, and to bring
all weapons closer to each other in performance so they would remain useful.
Also some realism is added like more realistic pistol max firing rates and
movement speeds with weapons.

SMGs and shotguns are almost as good as assault rifles at close range. If you get
an assault rifle, you pretty much get it only to be able to fight longer ranged battles
too. The sniper rifles' damage is reduced too so a better equipped team doesn't instantly
win if they can afford them and the opposition can not. To make the sniper rifles still
good at long range battles the accuracy of assault rifles has been reduced. All of this
should lead to a more fair gameplay where your skill and the support of your team mates
is more important than the weapon you have. The weapon changes should also reduce the
defending team's advantage.

Pistols -> Pretty much remain the same, except the Desert Eagle which is brought more
in line with the other pistols.
SMGs-> Buffed. Mac10 and UMP45 are cost effective now.
Shotguns -> Buffed. More power at close range, but less than before at long range.
Assault Rifles -> Nerfed. Accuracy has been reduced. The effectiveness of longe range
AK headshotting is reduced. AUG and SG552 should also be worth their cost now as they're
more accurate than the other assault rifles.
Sniper Rifles -> Nerfed. No more should every member in a team be equipped with them
as now the weapons need more skill to be used effectively.
Machinegun -> Buffed, and should now be worth getting. The weapon has better control,
and is also a decent long range fire support weapon.

At the moment the mod is just edited weapon script files that are put
to the scripts directory of a Source Dedicated Server. The mod is probably
going to be turned into a plugin or a real mod that shows as a different game, but
that isn't going to happen until I find out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

Running a server with the mod - Source Dedicated Server
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Just put the weapon script files to "steamapps(username)source dedicated servercstrikescripts"
and run your server. Every client joining the game without the script files now uses the new weapon
values from the script files except few things that don't affect gameplay much:
- Clients don't get the changed weapon muzzle flash sizes.
- Clients don't get the changed weapon crosshair sizes.
- Clients still see the AUG's ammo type as 7.62mm.
- Clients don't see the right amount of bullets that the XM1014 shoots (9 in this mod - like the M3).
- Clients can start to reload AWP even though it has full ammo (5 in this mod), causing
the reload animation to start and then instantly stop.
(If you want all the changes, you need to join the game with the exact same script files installed)

NOTE: It's recommended to use the included pure_server_whitelist.txt file and install it to
"source dedicated servercstrike", and then to use sv_pure 1. This ensures no one can join
the game with different scripts files in scripts directory and cause sync errors for them.
So players without any weapon scripts files can join, as well as the ones with the exact same
script files as the server installed to their game directory.

How to install the mod and testing it without Source Dedicated Server (Not recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Unzip/Install all the weapon script files to "steamapps(username)counter-strike sourcecstrikescripts".
Run Counter-Strike: Source as normal. If you run a server without Source Dedicated Server, everyone
else joining the game must have the exact same script files installed too or sync errors happen -
You also need to delete or move the weapon script files when you want to play default CSS.

Hostname
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It's recommended to name your game so that all know that this mod is running and the
version of it. For example "AD Weapon Balance 1.25".

How to uninstall or disable the mod
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete or move the weapon script files from the scripts directory.

Optional directory
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Optional directory contains pure_server_whitelist.txt that you can use with your
server. More info about the file in "Running a server with the mod" NOTE field.

The Optional directory also contains cstrike_english.txt that changes all weapon
names to real ones, and fixes few things from the buy menus. The AWM magazine
capacity is also changed to 5 like in this mod. Unzip the cstrike_english.txt to
"steamapps(username)counter-strike sourcecstrikeresource" to use it. Your Counter-Strike:
Source language must be English to use this file.

VAC
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Mods like this shouldn't cause VAC alerts:

I use VAC with my server running this mod.

NOTE
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone is free to modify and use this mod's files in their own CSS mods and servers,
even without giving me any credit. Feel free to experiment and enjoy playing CSS. :)
