[WIP] Reduce Weapons Damage v0.10

[Lone_Wolf]

For those interested, i've uploaded the oxp here : https://app.box.com/s/skwi1s82xlnzuipupxih

Keep in mind that while player has better survival chances now, this is also true for npc ships.
You will notice the biggest difference when using beam lasers, as then roughly the double amount of shots is needed to kill.

Once i have written a readme file, i'll make an oxz of it.

OXZ uploaded to expansion manager, and a simple wiki page has been created.

When I install this OXP via ingame manager, Oolite 1.84 says it is not compatible. Is there a specific reason or has just nobody updated it somehow?

This pack is designed exactly and only for Oolite 1.80. From 1.82 the damages are reduced in the core, so no more need to this package, this is why the maximum version also set to 1.80. If you still force it by manually put it to the AddOns folder and remove the max line from manifest.plist then all hit will be further reduced by 8 points. This mean a pulse laser will do 7 only instead of 15, military will cause only 4 instead of 12 and any beam laser hit will recharge your shields by 2 points, due to originally caused 6 only.

Thanks Norby

I didn't find this information anywhere, now it is written here for everyone to see.

If someone wants to experiment to see if RWD still is useful :


in Scripts/Reduce_Weapon_Damage.js , look for for lines 11 - 13

Code: Select all

// using separate values for player / npc for flexibility .
this._rwd_player_reduction = 8;
this._rwd_npc_reduction = 8;

just lower the values until you find one that does work.

Something's still not right:

Not a problem just outdated, as you can see in my post above.
