The points fix is explained here:

I doubt you ever heard about this bug, but some people seem to think it was done intentionally, so perhaps you can clear that up. Smile

Thanks for that Surth. Smile

The points = damage thing Spoony talked about is not correct though. It should be:

damage = rawdamage * warheadmultiplier;
for infantry/buildings/nongreen health vehicles: points == damage * pointsmultiplier.
for green health vehicles: points != damage * pointsmultiplier

The formula for calculating the points is correct, although it is done before the points get calculated (it will do * pointsmultiplier later on)

so the exact formulas would be:
green health vehicles:
damage = rawdamage * damagemultiplier * warheadmultiplier
points = rawdamage * damagemultiplier * warheadmultiplier / warheadmultiplier * pointsmultiplier

other objects:
points = rawdamage * damagemultiplier * warheadmultiplier
points = rawdamage * damagemultiplier * warheadmultiplier * pointsmultiplier

This explains the high points for ramjets and such perfectly well. The rawdamage for ramjets is very high (200 opposed to ie. 5 for an auto rifle) and the warhead multiplier for ramjet vs vehicle is very low. Because of that the ramjet does not apply a lot of damage. However since the damage multiplier is missing from the green health vehicles points calculation, the points will be significantly higher than the actual damage.

I based these formulas on reverse engineering the DefenseObjectClass::Do_Damage function in renegade.

Thanks for the info btw, and sorry for getting offtopic here...

When I say points = damage, the '=' is basically an abbreviation for 'is directly proportionate to'

Hey all,

Just an update on Army of Earth-

http://www.armyofearth.com/

I've just released a new version (0.522) including some of the features some of the Renegaders were asking for - manual teaming, private messaging, and a bunch of other stuff.

You're all most welcome to come give it a try. Ask for help ingame and hopefully somebody will train you up. The forums can help too.

Cheers,

LM
