I always like to play this when friends come over but we always say

"okay don't kill just mine" and end up in our forts with no money and a crapload of guns until one of us dies and we have to restart.

Is there any way to increase the starting funds like a variable in a .ini file or anything like that?

Just make everything free by changing the actor and device codes.

I'm only just starting coding... trying mapping for games etc and such... where might these be?

I don't know. I just opened the code and looked at the line untill I saw gold cost and changed it to 0.

Starting gold will be adjsutable soon.. sorry right now it's hardcoded.

Also, gold collection has been changed to be MUCH easier... just suck it up and it's added to the funds automatically. No messing with rockets and throwing it etc.
