Unarmed Damage mod

I've been tinkering with melee.xtbl files for a while and every time I make some changes, I end up crashing the game during startup. Therefore, I've given up and am turning to more experienced modders here. All I'm looking for is someone to teach me how to change the damage values of unarmed attacks and quick melee bash (I already have a melee.xtbl mod, so I'm looking to learn how to change instead of replacing it with a new mod). It's like the unarmed attacks do too much damage for my taste. When you need to use 3 shots using a handgun to kill a pedestrian, you can get away with only one melee bash. Sounds unreasonable to me, hence, this post.

Thanks in advance.
 
I agree with you, there's simply no fun in throwing a single punch and then watch the poor thing die - it's simply too unrealistic, this idea is teriffic and I'd love to have this one myself, hence I play on hardcore without any perks or anything. Wouldn't you also prefer a realistic Saint's Row rather than this maniac game it already is? I do, and I'm trying to fight for it as hard as I can. I'm firing all sorts of ideas out here, though there's simply not enough supporters due to the game is a ridiculous game as it is! :(

Off-topic: If you'd like to support my recent idea, about having a primary and secondary weapon only - check it out here http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/index.php?threads/primary-secondary-weapons-only.899/ - thanks in advance! :D
 
Well, i buffed up the hit points of my civilians, giving also them aggressive behavior (you punch one he fight back and with weapons too, you hit a car with yours and he chase you, you shoot with a weapon in the streets and they attack you)
With most of them now two melee attack are needed to kill them, and they are more difficult to knockout with punches and kicks.
I'm using it with the "no notoriety" mod by Idolninja so police don't get in the way and i could start civilian wars (they attack police too^^) This way is a much more "though city" to live in, and funny too^^
 
Right on Cazz! :D - but the thing is, that also increases like, the unrealistic part - because that means they can take more gunshots aswell. :( - I thought more like, nerfing unarmed instead! :)
