[MoustacheManny]

I was moding project brutality, and i wen't into the cyber baron file to edit the damage factors so that the plasma does bonus damage to them. But when i saved it and started the game nothing changed. help

Well, trying to modify project brutality is not as an easy task as adding those damage factors to normal actors.

Probably you need to add that property somewhere else or to change something else in order to have any effect

Really? where?

Have the "Plasma" damage type already been defined or you added it on your own?

[MoustacheManny]

I added it on my own but it does not seem to do anything. I also tried with the ssg just to see if changing an existing one would do anything but it did not.

So, the thing is you cannot deliberately make up damage types, plasma damage type doesn't exist (unless the modders added it in project brutality).

To "create" a new damage type you need to specify it in a MAPINFO lump, then you can use it.

You should go looking for the custom damage types they implemented and on which projectiles, hitscan, actor they are used on, cause there can be other factors playing.

Plasma damage is a damage type that exists in project brutality.
