FIX BEAMLAZER PLOX!

[Forboding Angel]

Fix beamlaser damage vs shields.

Someone wanna explain to me why a beamlaser with 500 damage, and a beamtime of .2 can fully deplete a fully charged 100k shield is less than half a second?

Please, will someone fix this? THis is very bad.

[KDR_11k]

Is that a deflector shield?

[Forboding Angel]

no, straight shielding.

KDR, you have some version of evolution I'm sure. do .give 1 tdecimator and .give 1 ecentralprocessing. Wait for 7 minutes (or speed up the game) so that the shield will be fully charged(should be blue). Fire the decimator at the Central processing unit. Watch the hilarity ensue.

Bump cause I'm tired of everyone ignoring this massive bug.

Hang on while some "nerd" opts to not bother.

[Forboding Angel]

No need to get so butthurt over a joke dude.

Perhaps some special cream would help?

Lol look my two favorite people.

*edit* also af... good hypocracy here.

[AF]

hypocracy??!!!?

Whats so hypocritical about pineapple cream cakes??!!!?

[tombom]

don't demand things from a free game people are working on for free kthx

[Forboding Angel]

it's a really bad bug that needs to be fixed.

[[Krogoth86]]

Well it should get its own point in the Mantis Bug Tracker imo...

btw kids, you might want to know this...

[9:51:02 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> it is quite bugged
[9:51:04 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> easy to fix
[9:51:20 PM] <Forboding_Angel> ok so it's definately not my imagination
[9:51:22 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> damage done is not being divided by the beamtime in frames
[9:51:39 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> so a beam with beamtime 1 is doing 30x damage to shields
[9:51:52 PM] <Forboding_Angel> holy shit
[9:52:03 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> wait
[9:52:06 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> ten seconds
[9:52:09 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> to confirm
[9:52:11 PM] <Forboding_Angel> ok
[9:52:34 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> yep
[9:52:45 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> a 10 second beamtime means 300x damage to shields
[9:53:09 PM] <Forboding_Angel> omg
[9:55:48 PM] <[SBFS]lurker> looks like a one line fix

[Peet]

Three character ( / 3 0 ) fix actually. I figured this but hadn't gotten to looking to make sure.

[lurker]

Actually, you have to divide by salvosize.


So the bottom of PlasmaRepulser.cpp should be:

Code: Select all

bool CPlasmaRepulser::BeamIntercepted(CWeapon* emitter)
{
	if (weaponDef->shieldPower > 0) {
		curPower -= emitter->weaponDef->damages[0] / emitter->salvoSize;
	}
	return weaponDef->shieldRepulser;
}

Details, details

Details, details

haha, ninja'd before my edit by seconds
