Ok, let's see a bit...

start_game XML command comes with options
* soldier_capacity_model
*** having it 'constant' makes base ownership not affect capacity
*** having it anything else, makes it use the usual mode where faction's capacity is determined by bases and soldier_capacity_variance factor
* soldier_capacity_variance
*** the more bases a faction owns, the lower the average soldiers per base contributing to capacity becomes
*** let's not go into detail about this right now...
*** default is 0.25
* max_soldiers
*** general maximum amount of soldiers in the whole map all factions combined, used to scale capacities
* vehicles
*** 0/1, off or on
* player_ai_compensation (alias player_bot_compensation)
*** the more players a faction has compared to the other faction, the more extra bots the other faction gets
*** i.e. Invasion with 30 players on Greens, 0 for Gray, compensation=8 => +240 bots for Gray
* player_ai_reduction
*** the more players a faction has compared to the other faction, the less bots (capacity) they have
* xp_multiplier
* rp_multiplier
* friendly_fire
* randomize_respawn_items
* team_kills_as_score
*** useful for 1-faction deathmatch style score counting, killing fellows increases score
* initial_xp
* initial_rp
* base_capture_system
*** 'any', 'single', 'none'
*** any is the normal, any base can be captured
*** single only allows capturing the AI commander chosen target, no backdooring
*** none, well, no capturing takes place
* defense_win_time
*** simple KOTH timer
* clear_profiles_at_start

Further you can define faction settings inside start_game command
* initial_over_capacity
*** number of bots spawned initially over capacity limits
*** if capacity_multiplier='0', initial_ove_capacity could be used to set a number of bots in the map who eventually just run out given enough killing
* ai_accuracy
* capacity_multiplier
*** e.g. capacity_multiplier='3.0' - if a faction would otherwise have 100 capacity, they'd now have 300
* capacity_offset
*** e.g. capacity_offset='3' - if a faction would otherwise have 100 capacity, they'd now have 103

Therefore I'd say you can do this with init_match.xml, just place it in your overlay root, that should do it.


That would make Greens very small as faction, and Grey capacity go through the normal scaling depending on amount of bases they've got.

Capacity_multiplier=0.0 might be "dangerous" as it can also mark a faction neutral if those bugs are still floating around. In such case just use a very small number.

I'm gonna be streaming some of the mod now.

Proud to be a RwR forum moderator!

Yes you can, faction files would be the place to control resource availability. Look into these:

You can either use clear_carry_items and declare all carry items that are available for the faction, or disable certain ones with this style

-- up to you. Can't remember if several resources XML-tags are supported, but you can at least combine all into one.

Weapons, projectiles (grenades), carry_items, vehicles, and calls can be defined through the same thing, just change tags appropriately everywhere.


Percentages to spawn with stuff is handled with


Backpack in the above refers to loot dropped by bots.

Alright, here's my own little version of the mod (hopefully you don't mind, Luck of Duck, with the OP:)).

More or less rebalances the AR-15 and double-barrel (make the AR-15 fire a much quicker 2-round burst, double-barrel is now more accurate but has fewer pellets per shot and has a lower kill chance). Also makes it so that virtually every brown and grey AI spawn with a vest on. The map is Power Junction, map7, but with KOTH off (I thought you could add maps via the overlays, seems as if you can't - a package will do).

For enemies, Grey is normal mode, Brown is hard mode. More zombies and more starting zombies.

Nope, I dont mind if you dont mind that I might "steal" some of your work to the OP

My original idea was for this to be "seed" if you will. I see I have gained some infected to speard the viruz. I might even add this to my opening post (to promote actions succh as this), if find some time. I will try to add couple thigs today or tomorrow to the OP, depending on how thing go at my end..

I wonder if I can make the Sniper Rifle down an enemy in one shot - that could make it very viable. Low rate of fire and the fact that you have to slow down to pull the bolt balances it out, so you can't get very close with it. Time for some projectile editing!

A seed, you say? Mine shall grow into a tree.

And feel free to "steal" my work.

Hmm. is there some way to make the sniper penetrate multiple enemies? That would make it somewhat useful.

I don't think there's penetration in the game. I know there's some cheaty ways of doing penetration in other games (like making a projectile move so fast that it bypasses, say, a shield on a ship before the game recognizes that it hit the shield), but I don't think that works in RWR.

Anyone know how to make a bullet act like a knife, so it bypasses the body armor (and riot shields, as an unintended consequence)? I don't think I can make an actual bullet that *just* penetrates body armor.

hmm well I know the rockets can penetrate people so get to modding!
