Editing damage/difficulty for Max Payne 2?

[Taberone]

How do I edit the game so everybody dies faster? Ex. 2x DMG for everybody, or 1/2 HP for everybody? Looking to make my own difficulty/damage mod.

Go to your MP2 folder and unpack a file called 'MP2 Init' (I use RAS - MP2M Master v1.2). In there is a text file called 'ai ranges'

Open with notepad and at the top you'll see 'hitpoints' and thats where you can play around with these numbers;

// C01: Cleaners, Mafiosos
// C02: Cleaner Bosses
// C03: Semi-Cleaners, Russians
// C04: BlackOps
// C05: BlackOps Bosses

// hitpoints
#define C00_MAXIMUMHEALTH 45
#define C01_MAXIMUMHEALTH 50
#define C02_MAXIMUMHEALTH 55
#define C03_MAXIMUMHEALTH 60
#define C04_MAXIMUMHEALTH 60
#define C05_MAXIMUMHEALTH 65

An alternate way is to open the 'shooting.h' file and increase the all the 'BulletDamage' values for all the weapons in game;

#define COLTCOMMANDO_BULLETDAMAGE 29

but you need to be careful doing it that way as it can make the level where you protect Max very hard and/or impossible to get through if you set the damage to high.

Where do I get RAS - MP2M Master 1.2? Are Softpedia and Softfamous reliable sources to download them?
