Capital Ship Weapon Damage

from Sins Forums
Hi all,

I changed some settings in the CAPITALSHIP entity files. Most of the settings changed except the weapon damage entries. Help?

Ok, the weapon damage has increased, but the tooltip is not updating, think its hard coded?

It's not, I've played with weapon damages and the infocard has been updating. What did you change?

The infocard shows rounded damage per second, and in my trials it updated the way it should have. Obviously if you set a weapon that doesn't have hardpoints in the rear to do rear damage, it won't do anything and the infocard won't change ;)

In short.. gotta know what you changed so we can see if there's anything weird going on :P

I multiplied the damage values by 2. If it was zero it was not changed. For example the TECBATTLESHIP:

DamagePerBank:FRONT 54.000000
DamagePerBank:BACK 100.500000
DamagePerBank:LEFT 100.500000
DamagePerBank:RIGHT 54.000000

I also tried Sins Enhancement Mod(to see if I was missing something) and I got the same results... the tooltip for weapon damage did not update.

Strange, the tweaks I made showed up with no problem...

Found the problem, Im guessing the important wording in the tooltip is AVERAGE... it somehow calculates the average damage amount which is a value computed from the numbers in the entity file. So, it has increased from default, but I am not sure how it was computed lol

I don't know what to tell you, kgbzero. I just tried it myself and it worked fine. I had a ship with 105 front, 50 each left/right with a 7 second cooldown that displayed 29 DPS (105+50+50=205/7=29 rounded). I increased the front to 210, and got 44 dps displayed (210+50+50=310/7=44 rounded).

As far as I can tell, it works just fine :o

EDIT: Gah, I mentioned that in my first reply :P The infocard shows the sum of the damage of all banks divided by the prebuffcooldown (weapon cooldown), rounded down to the nearest whole. :)
