This is no doubt a side project from your mod's weapon balancing? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Actually, it was spawned by IRC commments...
I'll be doing the reverse process for most of my mod's weapons.

However it will be useful when I get to the tweaking stage.

See what great things come as a result of the #se4 IRC channel? Now don't you all want to stop by? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Great work SJ!

Re: Weapon Stats Calculator
 

Does the "power" include the kT used by the weapon, too?

PvK

Re: Weapon Stats Calculator
 

True Power = dmg/kt/reload
Pulse Power = dmg/kt
Punch = dmg

- True power is the most important for most situations.
- Pulse power comes into play for hit and run.
- Punch is very important against leaky shields and crystalline armor.

By "leaky shields" do you mean emissive armor ability effects?

PvK

Re: Weapon Stats Calculator
 

Leaky armor typically uses crystalline/shield combos, but yes, emissive is another excellent example.

Heh ya,

For the techno illiterate how do I view the file?

And for the quick answer what are the best one shot weapons?

Cheers.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">it also refer's to taking the armor ability out of the armor and increasing the hitpoints. more hitpoints means an unporportionally higher chance of being hit.
