Fallout 2 mod F2: damage calculation change, a FIX (v3 by my count)

Great, thank you for that NovaRain.

Ok, but this mod definitely needs modifications to the ammo to work correctly, are you saying that turning the gloves mod on still does not activate its own ammo mod, and I would need to download and install this zip file?

Pardon if my question is redundant, I just want to make sure.

 

Setting DamageFormula in ddraw.ini activates the formula change, but without the script/ini some ammo in their vanilla ammo values will be less effective against armors. You can use the included HTML calculator and change "Modified Ammo Values" to compare the damage values.

 

got it. thanks man.

 

NovaRain (or anyone else who might know), where can I get a copy of the source code of the glovz mod? I'd like to study it. I'd like to learn how to write a script for modifying the combat formula, but the learning curve is too steep for me and I cant find enough documentation on the forums to figure it out, or don't fully understand them. having that source code will allow me to learn the arguments and call functions and return functions. It would help me greatly. Is it available?

Thanks in advance.

 

It's included in sfall: https://github.com/phobos2077/sfall/blob/master/sfall/Modules/AmmoMod.cpp
But if you want to script a new damage mod, fo2tweak might be a better reference: https://github.com/BGforgeNet/fo2tweaks/blob/master/fo2tweaks/source/gl_g_damage_mod.ssl

 

wow, thanks!

The second link that you posted seems to be the original combat formula written out completely. I guess in C++, is it?

Can that be modified and then compiled and used as a script file?

 

Yes.
