..while using straylight mod.
Basically Id like to increase the difficulty solely by increasing the enemies hit points by 3x just like Neosprings mod while reducing gun degradation for obvious reasons while being able to use all the nice changes/fixes from straylight.
What programs tools do I need to modify them?, or can it all be done by notepad?.

You do changes like these in ShockEd as far as I know.

Thx for the quick response, guess I'll get working on reading the tutorials. Any idea how steep the learning curve is just to accomplish what I wanted?. (Increase hit points 3x, lessen degradation rate by 3x, be compatible with straylight)

You don't need any tutorials for making maps to edit a script. ;)

No script-editing is involved, just modifying a few properties in the gamesys.
You'll probably find the (
http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php/topic,387.0.html) ShockEd Toolkit useful to get you started.
The properties you want to change are the
Game->Damage Model->Hit Points and
Game->Damage Model->Max Hit Points properties of all enemies, and the
Gun->Reliability property of all weapons.

Thanks, I think I already figured this out, seems pretty simple. Do you think if I installed straylight then modified those stats I mentioned straylight would continue to function as normal?, aside from my changes of course.

Why wouldn't it? Just open up the GAM file of the mod and edit it, then save the changes.

Because editing a GAM file with ShockEd is like editing a source code of a game; the files simply receive the changes you make.
But of course file corruptions can always happen.

Does shockED allow me to increase enemy speed?
