Crysis Message Board  

To edit crysis gamedata.pak its in the crysis\game\gamedata.pak

rename the file to show .rar if you don't see the extension open the folder options in explorer and turn on show known file types.

So what we are going to edit is vehicle damage.

first google notepad2
download
use it to open the files ( but we will get to that part)
open the scripts folder in the archive
then entities
then implementations ( in this folder it contains how fast the vehicle can move and such)
then open xml (this is where the fun begins)
pick any vehicle
for this example we will use the asian_ltv.xml
extract this file to the crysis\game folder with directories intact
open this in notepad2 using openwith command (just right click)

Go down to the following lines



DamageMultiplier damageType="bullet" multiplier="0.00" DamageMultiplier damageType="moacbullet" multiplier="0.02" DamageMultiplier damageType="gaussbullet"multiplier="0.15000001"
DamageMultiplier damageType="melee" multiplier="0.050000001" DamageMultiplier damageType="fire" multiplier="0.050000001" DamageMultiplier damageType="collision" multiplier="0" DamageMultiplier damageType="explosion" multiplier="1" splash="0.25" DamageMultiplier damageType="frag" multiplier="0.25" splash="0.25"
DamageMultiplier damageType="aacannon" multiplier="0.02" splash="0"
DamageMultiplier damageType="c4" multiplier="1" splash="0.25" DamageMultiplier damageType="tac" multiplier="2" splash="2" DamageMultiplier damageType="avmine" multiplier="2" splash="0.25"
DamageMultiplier damageType="scout_moac" multiplier="0.2"

each one represents damage variables a 1 means instant explosion while using smaller numbers makes it take less of a beating now change collision to 0 (zero) and change some of the others if you want to.

and that is how you edit a vehicle its fairly easy to edit when you use notepad2 cause everything is color coded
have fun and try it with others.

if you want i'll put up a tutorial to edit explosions size like my demo mod did.




Important Update!!
Upon further testing I still noticed the asian_ltv vehicle still took damage so in the file there is these lines

engine / hull / wheel1 / wheel2 / wheel3 / wheel4 / wheel5 / fuelcan

each of these contain the same info as above and edit them

if you want to make the vehicle heavier or lighter there is one also called massbox = number change the number to anything. thats all I know for now. Will keep looking for more into these
