Damage formula?

[mxyzptlk]

Someone said that the amount of damage taken is Damage + Speed * body multiplier.

I tested it, that isn't right.

I tried to make a WM based on that, simply making the bullets go faster, but doing the dame damage. It didn't work.

I decreased the damage by 100, and increased the speed by 100 on every weapon. If the above formula is right, it should do exactly the same damage.

When I tested it, I was able to take FOUR rugers before dying, and weapons that had to be set negative to be subtracted by 100 healed, even though I increased the speed by 100.

Does anyone know the real formula?

Damage*Speed*0,000654=damage in %
the formula isn't 100% correct but it's pretty close with normal speeds
the speed in set in weapons.ini is only correct at 0 range(initial speed), it drops after distance and so does the damage.

Wonder if the mechanics have anything to do with the kinetic energy formula...

[Xxypher]

I heard that for every 1 damage it takes 2.6 speed.
Try that out.

[mxyzptlk]

Thats not quite right. It worked perfect for the ruger, but every other weapon was either more or less powerful than the others.

I will probably end up rebalancing it myself.

@SK: How would I go about reversing that?

Multiply speed by two and dividing damage by 2? Would that even it out?

[Espadon]

Average it? I doubt it. =\

[mxyzptlk]

What? no. I mean that, since the damage and speed are multiplied together, I should divide the damages by 2, and multiply the speed by 2, in order to get the effect I want.

KE Formula? 1/2 mv^2?

Don't think so XD

[Espadon]

Yeah, KE formula doesn't work, I figured, because bulletstrength does not equal mass lol.

[mxyzptlk]

Alright, it worked.

That is, Serial K!llers method worked.

I will post the result in the Partial Mods Section.

[Serial K!ller]

It should work but it will do a bit more damage (especially on slow bullets like from the pistol) because the speed will drop less(in %) over the same range then with the default(slower) speeds.

2.6 works almost good.
1*2.6=x
That is the formula for at least the rugger.
I tried 3.1 and that worked for a couple automatics it seemed.

*shakes head*

Just the Ruger, I'm afraid. SK'smethod works pretty well, check the mod out in partial mods.
