hey all.

i am trying to increase the range of a sniper rifle, which setting do i alter to achieve this please?

is it anything to do with this?

\aiEffectiveRange\800\aiMissRange\3500\

if so what would i have to set it to in order to increase the range?

Those 2 settings you posted are for SP, I presume you want to do it for MP, if so then you have to increase damage

ok first off thanks for the reply.

secondly, i have changed the damage like so.

\damage\200\meleeDamage\200\minDamagePercent\65\damageInnerRadius\4000\damageOuterRadius\8000\

but it still don't reach the player on the otherside of the map.

anything else you can recommend to me please buddy?

ok here is the complete weapon file.

when stood against a back wall the enemy that is shooting me via sniper is not reaching me.
when i walk forward 50 steps he can then kill me, so that tells me that i need to increase the rifles range to suit.

here is the full weapon file.

ah, you can also try making the weapon a projectile type or increase damage more, 200 still isn't enough

ok i have increased the damage to 1000 even 2000 and it still wont reach.
makes no difference what i set the bloody thing at even 100000 still falls short in the same place every time.

i have stepped it from the wall to where the bullet makes contact and it is exactly 50 paces from the back wall.

where would i set it to projectile exactly please kill3r?

weaponType and weaponClass are the first things to change, then add a projectileSpeed (make it a high number), look in other projectile type weap files such as the panzerfaust and bazooka

lol kill3r

yeah i did that and it worked just fine...only problem is it fired rockets but without the graphic, which i found funny really.

just got to make it shoot bullets now lol

Hey utdfederation,

What was the final result in the making ?

Could you share that?

thanks

~12000 is the limit for maximum range of fire in this game no matter what U set (for bullets)...
