Better M249 for Counter-Strike 1.6: faster firing and lower recoil

Better M249 is an AMX Mod X plugin for Counter-Strike 1.6 that changes the firing rate of the M249 machine gun and reduces its recoil. Settings are stored in the source file as macros: the README does not describe separate CVARs for controlling these parameters.

Features

After a shot, the plugin intercepts Ham_Weapon_PrimaryAttack for weapon_m249. It reduces the delays until the next attack set by the game for the weapon and player, dividing them by the firing speed multiplier. The value pev_punchangle is multiplied by the recoil coefficient for all three axes.

• FIRE_RATE_MULT — by default 2.5.
• RECOIL_MULT — by default 0.15.

Processing is performed after a shot. The plugin checks whether the weapon owner is a valid player and is alive; if the check fails, changes are not applied. Values are set via #define at the beginning of better_m249.sma, so changing the parameters requires recompiling the source code.

Requirements

Requires AMX Mod X with the modules fakemeta, hamsandwich і cstrike.
