Fire-Related Weapon/Homie/Vehicle Stat Changes

Hello

I'm looking to change a few stats around (I hope it'll be that simple) and had some questions;

1. Can I change the bullet types on other guns so they are incendiary (like the fully upgraded Tek Z-10)?
2. Is it possible to change the mounted gun on vehicles (Bulldog, Firetruck, Helicopters, etc?) to a flamethrower, like the incinerator, or possibly the flamethrower from the Gat-mobile? If so, can I increase the range and spread of the flame?
3. Can I make my homies flame-retardant like my upgrade?

Thanks!
 
Feature no. 1 should be possible (I haben't tried it personally, but it really should work), no. 2 is definitely possible, I'm not sure how about no. 3. Moreover, I think you can easily create those modification by yourself and if you haven't modded yet, they would do a teriffic beginner's task. Unpack misc_tables.vpp_pc (which is also available for download here) and:

1. Look for weapons. xtbl and weapon_upgrades.xtbl. Find "SMS-GangLvl4" line and read it until you find a tag with word "incendiary": <Penetrating_End_Point_Explosion>Ammo - Incendiary</Penetrating_End_Point_Explosion>
now copy this tag to "SMG-Gang" line in weapons.xtbl. Run you game and see what happens.

2. In weapons.xtbl, look for <Weapon_Class>vehicle</Weapon_Class> weapons. Investigate their tag names (those should be pretty self-explanatory) and swap their values with those coming from <Weapon><Name>sp_gat01_w</Name>. You can even try to copy the whole line of "sp_gat01_w", paste it into place of other vehicle-mounted weapon and change the name to the one you've just got rid of. For more tweaking, check out the Shitface's weapons re-balance mod. He provided a fire truck with flamethrower.
 
Awesome, I was hoping to be able to do it myself :) Thanks very much, I'll be getting a new computer so I'll be able to use my laptop to screw around with all the values without fear, hooray!
