Description

A lightweight addon to customize NPC health and damage, especially designed for:

Playing the Half-Life 2 campaign.
Maps that rely on vanilla NPCs.

Main Features:

Add extra health to NPCs.
Add extra health to Elite NPCs.
Increase how much damage NPCs deal to the player.
- plus custom multipliers for body part damage (head, chest, limbs).

Optional filters to exclude annoying or friendly NPCs from buffs.

A better alternative to modifying weapon damage, which can break physics-based gameplay.

Customizable via spawnmenu (Q → Utilities → M Addons → M DMG & HP)

Perfect for adding challenge or balance without breaking the original feel of the game.

Pretty useful mod, definitely will make use of it for Map Sweepers.

Gets a bit old when you blitz through Combine, Rebels, or Antlions with how overtuned some weapon packs are; and using the Damage Scaler mod is a bit tedious since I have like hundreds of guns and weapons to adjust. This one avoids the tedious issue and just scales the health to a level that can afford fights with most ARC9 or TFA weapons.

Though I was hoping to find something that could affect more than just the base HL2 NPCs, since I've noticed certain NPC packs - like the IV04 GOW nextbots, specifically the fodder enemies like the Drones and such - can sometimes have NPCs with HPs comparable to vanilla HL2, and thus easy to breeze through what would otherwise be difficult fights.

it would be nice if this mod could somehow increase health on a percentage basis, to allow for an npc with normally 1000hp to have 1500hp but for one with 50hp to have 75hp instead of 550hp
