Post subject:  Uprising/Rebellion

Is there any way or have any mod to simulate an uprising or a rebellion? Obviously, without making it notoriously easy or difficult. Like having more on the rebel side but armed with shittier weapons, and having the oppressors have better weapons and have vests by default, but have much fewer numbers? Help please? :?: :?:

Are you asking for the POSSIBILITY of making such a mod or are you REQUESTING someone make such a mod?

I am asking if it is
A) - Something I can simulate well without getting rekt, if not vanilla then
B) - The possibility of making such a mod, and
C) - How simple making such a mod would be. If I cannot do it (Highly likely) then I am
D) - Requesting a Rebellion mod.

My Zombie Mod does do a decent job of mimicking that - although just before you start the match, remember to offset the number of Survivors. Hordes of unarmed (yet fast and tough) zombies up against a smaller number of armed survivors.

Yeah, that's good, but It can get still get really difficult if there's too many zombies and you can't take em down fast enough. Any other suggestions?

In code terms all you're asking for is basically, for example:

grey vs brown: nerfing grey weapons accuracy/damage/fire rate/recoil on their weapons, making a new bullet proof vest that does slightly less damage reduction.

Really easy to make the mod, you'd have to play with the in-game settings for numbers/accuracy to make sure your weaker faction isn't annihilated by the OP faction.

You can prepare a mod with 'uneven' teams with an init_match.xml (by this I mean the # of soldiers the team will spawn with. Which is what you want)

This way, whenever you start a quick-match the teams' percentages are already set up. (Just don't change them in the in-game menu!!! if you change those specific settings in that menu it will affect those values, thereby overriding them.)

The rest you asked about can be done fairly easily. :)




Below is an example of an init_match.xml I'm using for a wip mod which involves 3+1 factions: (the 4th faction is an "infected / zombie" faction" un-selectable for players, and therefore has more 'soldiers', as well as a different AI plan. The un-selectable part is not handled in this example.)


If you just pop an .xml with code similar to this into your mod's main directory it will load each time a quick-match is started. Don't use this code exactly as it may not be exactly what you're looking for. The most important line you want to know about is the capacity_multiplier= etc. What this percentage value yields should be fairly obvious.
