Many people ask me how to edit some parameters  or merge files. Here are some explanations.

Q: Can you please teach me to change stats?
A: Would be better to start studying with compare the files "weapons" from this mod and from Red Dead Offline. To compare and edit this files use Notepad++ or EmEditor.  


Change damage for some weapon
In weapons.ymt  look for certain words and lines
Example:
<AnimationLookupHash>WEAPON_REVOLVER_DOUBLEACTION</AnimationLookupHash> <DamageModes>
<Item>    
<AmmoInfo>AMMO_REVOLVER</AmmoInfo>
<Name>DM_REVOLVER</Name>
<UNK_MEMBER_0x1F5DA5F4 value="0" />  
<Damage value="29.50000000" />   -this is what you need to edit


change reloading time
Example for the Cattleman revolver.
In weapons.ymt file look for the line AnimReloadRate   under <Name>WEAPON_REVOLVER_CATTLEMAN     But there are several cattlemans (John's, Flaco's etc), and you may need to change this line for each individually.  For other weapon types <Name>WEAPON_RIFLE_ or  <Name>WEAPON_SHOTGUN_  and so on.
By default AnimReloadRate =1.00

amount of cartridges in clip.
Example for Lancaster repeater. In weapons.ymt file find <Name>WEAPON_REPEATER_WINCHESTER</Name>  and scroll down until you see <Size value="12" />  - this is the number you need to change.


Fire rate
For changing fire rate there are two ways.
Easy way: in weaponcomponents.meta look for FireRateModifier. 
Uneasy but more precise way: in weapons.ymt look for CockStartRate, CockEndRate, CockToFireDelay. All those parameters are responsible for fire rate.
For dlc weapons search for same parameters in certain weapon file (such as  weapon_revolver_lemat.ymt).


Weapon (bullet) force:
<WeaponForce>
            <Force value="75.00000000" />       -this is what you need.  The more number=the more kick.
            <ForceHitPed value="0.00000000" />
            <ForceHitVehicle value="0.00000000" />
            <ForceHitFlyingHeli value="0.00000000" />
            <OverrideForces />
            <ForceMaxStrengthMult value="1.00000000" />
            <ForceFalloffRangeStart value="0.00000000" />
            <ForceFalloffRangeEnd value="50.00000000" />
            <ForceFalloffMin value="1.00000000" />
            <ProjectileForce value="0.00000000" />
          </WeaponForce>


How to merge files,
on example of this mod+WhyEm's mod   -|| by IndigoBell ||-

    WhyEm's has two weaponcomponent.meta files. A big one that's around 300kb in folder Weapon_References > 2845677 and a small one around 14kb in folder Weapon_References > 2895679.
If you want to merge them, you take the changes from the big weaponcomponents.meta file in Realistic Weapon Rebalance and copy them over into the big weaponcomponents.meta (Weapon_References > 2845677) file in WhyEm's. Then take the changes from weaponcompnents_1899.meta and copy them to the small weaponcomponents.meta (Weapon_References > 2895679) in WhyEm's. Then remove both of these files from Realistic Weapon Rebalance.
   WhyEm's only edits the weapons.ymt file for the grips, so to merge these files you would take the weapons.ymt from Realistic Weapon Rebalance and copy the changes from WhyEm's into it. Then place the new weapons.ymt into WhyEm's to overwrite the original and remove the weapons.ymt from Realistic Weapon Rebalance. 
   Best to use notepad++ for this. If you don't know where to look for the changes, because some files are big, in notepad++ you can download a plugin called compare. You'd go to Plugins > Plugins Admin - find compare in the list, tick the box, then click install in the top right. Once installed, open up both files you want to merge in notepad++ and then click Plugins > Compare > Compare. It will load both files and show all differences between them. 

Vanilla 100% accuracy

remove reticle bloom ONLY FOR DIRECT AIMING:

• open weapon.ymt and search for AccuracySpread -> set the value to 0.00000000 -> this removes reticle bloom while aiming
• leave HipFireAccuracySpread as is to beware the realistic settings this mod has, at least for hip fire, because it´s unrealistic to hit everything from the hip from miles away with perfect precision, even in free aim.
