See I wanted to do this, but I looked at the github page of the whole thing and it said all the files uploaded there haven't been updated since 2017

And even then I downloaded the code and used it to do the whole "trying to compile it again" thing

So either it isn't included in the publicly available source code, or it is and I just didn't know where to look

Let's say it is available, in which file would that cvar be? sorry I don't know what cvar even means (if it does mean anything special anyway)

I tried to compile it again and I think this time the compiling worked fine, however the firing accuracy is still being overwritten even though I removed the lines you told me to remove from ai_cast.c

These lines are supposed to be removed, right?

        if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_EASY ) {
            newent->health = client->ps.stats[STAT_HEALTH] = client->ps.stats[STAT_MAX_HEALTH] = 1;
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.6;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.6;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_MEDIUM ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.75;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.75;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_HARD ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 0.9;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 0.9;
        } else if ( g_gameskill.integer == GSKILL_MAX ) {
            cs->attributes[AIM_SKILL] = 1.0;
            cs->attributes[ATTACK_SKILL] = 1.0;
        }

You told me to remove this entire block to stop the game from overwriting the firing skill, and I did but when replacing the COOP files with the compiled ones, nothing changed with the AI accuracy even though the file sizes are all different now

Edit: so weird thing happened, instead of deleting the whole thing, I tried (for testing's sake) to just change one of the values, so instead of 0.6 I put 0.1 .....and instead of the AI lowering its accuracy, now the bots can't kill each other at all, they still fire at 0.6 accuracy and I can kill them and they can kill me

But for some unknown reason they can't kill each other anymore, and another weird thing is: this change seems to have applied to ALL difficulty settings, not just easy (which is where this weird change should only be happening)

None of that works, you yourself said it years ago when I asked about it (and admittedly was a bit rude about it back then) that the only way to change the accuracy of soldiers in this mod is to recompile the entire code for the thing

So yes I did try doing all of that, and it didn't work because it's clearly all being overwritten by something else

I'll quote what you said to me years ago about this same topic:

"the accuracy is ignored in the ai files, ai get more accurate when g_gameskills is set higher"

"you want to change it ? edit the source code and compile it yourself"

But since you're the one who did the coding, did you change it since then, so that we can change the accuracy without having to recompile?

Edit: I followed the "How to build" file you included in the code files, and I did reach the point of building everything (after removing the bloc from the AI file that forces the accuracy to overwrite existing values)

I reached the point of creating the pk3 file, but every time I type "./create_pk3.bat" into Cygwin, I get the following:

"C:\cygwin64\home\ORWA\rtcwcoop>cd media\sp_pak_coop1\

C:\cygwin64\home\ORWA\rtcwcoop\media\sp_pak_coop1>zip.exe -r sp_pak_coop1.pk3 .\

'zip.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\cygwin64\home\ORWA\rtcwcoop\media\sp_pak_coop1>move sp_pak_coop1.pk3 ..\..\co
opmain
The system cannot find the file specified."

I assume this isn't a big deal and I can just zip the files myself and move them to the coopmain folder....and after that I tried moving the entirety of the contents of the "release-mingw32-x86_64" folder to the main game folder, replacing all the COOP files that would usually be there (from downloading COOP directly, rather than compiling it) and the game just crashes on start....so as I said I think there's a problem with my compiling process

Can you please just compile it yourself after removing that bloc from the ai_cast.c file, and just send it to me or upload it somewhere? It shouldn't be hard and I'm sure many mappers would love the ability to edit AI accuracy as they see fit

No no I know I can change the accuracy there, but that doesn't change much since the AI accuracy in RTCW coop is inherently much higher than in the base game

What I meant is can I lower the AI accuracy to the point that it's the exact same accuracy in the original game?

As I said I remember asking you about that years ago and you told me I need the source code for RTCW Coop in order to make the AI as inaccurate as it was in the original game

I didn't say it's your fault that's why i posted this here so the developer can fix it...besides you are an ass for not respecting other player's wishes

You mean it's not located in some file of the game?? that i have to somehow input it into the game? no offense taken but at least explain to me the general idea not the way i no longer want to change it

I'm sorry Fretn but that info was given to me like 3-4 times and i already said in the question that i know it is being bypassed yet everyone keeps saying it is bypassed....ok can you tell me where this code is please?

Tried that it doesn't make a difference at all and lots of soldiers already have 0.1 accuracy so it doesn't really help what you said i need to know how do you bypass it or how do you set the accuracy for each difficulty

ok most important question: how do i disable the 100% accuracy since there is some switch inside coop files that ignore all accuracy settings in .ai files
