OBO: Melee Weapon Tweaks + Unlocker script UPDATED

OBO, pronounced "oboe" (yes, like the instrument), stands for "Overall Balance Overhaul."

This mod is a script that tweaks some stats relating to melee weapons, and unlocking all melee weapons in all official campaigns, including the CS Knife, but not including the derpy cut content Riot Shield. See, in vanilla, the Machete was by far the strongest melee weapon because it had the fastest attack speed, and all melee weapons seem to have identical damage and range. Because of this, there were several melee weapons that were very strong, and some that were weak by comparison. And yes, the Frying Pan is stronger in every way than the Katana.

Originally, I wanted to make each weapon have its own swing speeds, damage, and attack ranges, but that just doesn't seem possible. Thus, this mod is limited. Unfortunately, most melee settings are hardcoded, and the few that can be edited are cvars, which means you'll need to get my Dead World gamemode mod for things like melee range, Chainsaw idle sound alert radius, etc... (see the above collections).

So what does this mod do? Aside from unlocking all melee weapons in all official campaigns, this mod will increase total Chainsaw fuel and rebalance melee weapon friendly fire damage.

Note that Cold Stream is not included in the melee weapon unlock portion of this mod, due to conflicts with other mods I use if I add it.


FEATURES:
-Unlocks all melee weapons in all official campaigns (Including the CS:S Knife, but not the broken Riot Shield)
-Increases Chainsaw total fuel by 50% (45 seconds from vanilla's 30).
-Reduces friendly fire damage of all melee weapons drastically, which is useful in tightly-grouped defense

And, that's all. I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer about the preview screenshot(s):
I got them randomly off the internet. I claim nothing. If need be, I'll replace them with something generic from Wikipedia or something.
