Re: Damage Calculation
All right, I'm stumped... I'm out of ideas. This is a tough puzzle. I haven't given up yet, though. I'll look at the list one more time...

Re: Damage Calculation
Two hints this time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Hint #1 Someone has indirectly touched on the "error". Hint #2 The player who "mechanically" applies the attack and defense factors may (or may not) calculate an incorrect hit probability. Hint #3 It is not a punctuation error, grammar error, spelling error or additional lines. Hint #4 Possibly too much focus has been placed on individual trees rather than the forest. Hint #5 It is an error of d _ _ _ _ _ _ tion. I will be adding a letter until someone comes up with the answer. I must say, I never thought it would go on this long! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |
Re: Damage Calculation
I was gonna say denotation, but that leaves an extra space...
d _ _ _ _ _ _ tion d e n o t a _ tion d e f i n i _ tion d e t o n a _ tion d e m o l i _ tion I think tbontob added an extra underscore, or he is really evil. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif j/k http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Edit: Wait... d e f o l i a tion That's it! That's the answer! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif [ November 19, 2002, 10:08: Message edited by: Imperator Fyron ] |

Sorry, Fyron I made doubly sure it is the right number of letters. I didn't want to be strung up on the nearest lamp post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

Re: Damage Calculation
Desperation.

SJ. Where did you get this? And what does each of those modifiers mean? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">#1) Start at 100% accuracy before any modifiers are added. So if the only effect were a 20% ECM I, you would hit with 80% accuracy. #2) If you shoot at a planet, you add 200% to your accuracy. IE: it is [i]really[i] hard to miss a great big target like that, especially when gravity is helping you aim. #3) If you shoot FROM a planet (IE: weapon platforms), then you add 30% to your chance of hitting. A planet, shooting at an alien-infested moon colony, would thus get a +230% accuracy bonus added onto the other modifiers. #4) If you are shooting at a seeker (missile), then you suffer a 40% accuracy penalty. Point defense cannons get a 70% bonus to hit. So, ignoring other modifiers, That would give you a (100%[base] -40%[seeker] +70%[PDC] -40%[range4] = 90%) chance to hit at range 4. PS: And I got them straight out of Settings.txt (They are all moddable) [ November 19, 2002, 14:57: Message edited by: Suicide Junkie ] |
