Headshots Only?

[PinkLed5]

I know some mods out there have headshot only features.  Is there an easy way to implement that without installing any mods?  Is there an xml file I can tweak?

 

I'd like to still be able to damage zombie limbs (e.g. shoot their legs off), but only head shots would kill them.

 

Anyone know to do this?

Hmm, I would make it a modlet in any case; it would be a lot less effort to maintain from patch to patch. And to disable and manage when needed. If you can edit/learn to edit xml, you can learn to use the xpath system to accomplish the same.

 

Now for the actual mod, I can't really help; there's things like

    <!-- Gameplay zombieArleneFeral -->
    <property name="DismemberMultiplierHead" value=".7"/><property name="DismemberMultiplierArms" value=".7"/><property name="DismemberMultiplierLegs" value=".7"/><!-- Feral -->

 

in the xmls, so something can be done based on them, but that doesn't mean everything you would need will be possible.

I would guess it is possible, but that's as far as I can say.

Khaine already provides a XML modlet called "Headshot Only".

Sweet!  I'm a huge DF fan and Khaine's work is awesome, but I didn't know about this.  Thank you!!

FYI, Headshot only modlet doesn't appear to be working.  I'll post about it in the thread where it was provided.

pretty sure Khaine is in the process of updating Darkness falls for A20.1 at the moment. I imagine the headshot modlet isnt far behind.

 

I agree that headshot only seems like a great way to play the game.

You can just try play the game on insane level..... making head shots far more important.
I've mastered it playing insane permideath 64x always run zombies and wont play anything less.
