I'm not sure how the game determines which characters in a group you fire at will get hit at all (and I'm talking before the actual to-hit roll). AS most Fallout players realize, it's pretty inconsistent, as it seems sometimes that you're bound to hit one person and suddenly only the ones behind...

Status report: Trying to simplify the ridiculously complicated calculations for different calibers. I think that penetration will be based on US Army directive for bulletproof vests (the IV levels of protection will be translated into armor types existing in Fallout; I'm assuming that...

I hope you'll manage to pull this off... It's true that this would be one of the nicest mods to Fallout 2...ever. Good luck and don't give up ;-)

In fact, *nothing* was affected by combat difficulty level in terms of damage, I would be glad if someone tested this on his own, though. As for laser weapons (and all fictional weapons) I thought of using such methodology (fragment from my notes, still work in progress): FICTIONAL WEAPONS...

He does! So now I know where the mysterious 30 DR comes from... That's what I love about community forums ;-) Thank you so much, Weirwood ! EDIT: Thank you twice, as a minute later I realized that this solves another mystery I bumped into - "why do other characters deal more...

@ Glovz Yeah. I'm shooting single, of course. Well, Kanhef's suggestion put me on the right track - I spent a lot of time today playing with a cheated character and my 102 damage SMG and the results are strikingly consistent: EVERY CREATURE in the game, as far as I could tell - and I shot...

(Sorry for doublepost) @ Kanhef Yeah, hell, it sure behaves as if the Slaver's DR was 55. In fact, then it's pretty consistent. But why should he have as high a DR as 55? He *looks* to be wearing a Leather Armor (DT 2, DR 25) but who knows.. which .dat would I have to unpack to confirm his...

@ Glovz Well, I tried to follow the function... and it just doesn't work! Here are the calculations, step by step just as you posted: 1. 102 2. 102 x 1/1 = 102 3. 102 / 1 = 102 4. ? (no idea what step 4 means) 5. 102 x 125 = 12750 (hard difficulty) 6. 12750 / 100 = 127,5...

Hi, I took on the ambitious task of creating a Fallout 2 mod that would provide a consistent, at least half-realistic weapon damage. I quickly modded a 10mm SMG just to check how the game calculates damage in practice. For ease of calculation, I set the min and max damage to 102 (as the...
