Possible explosion issues

[FR]

A few 1000 torpedoes later:

• It is not related to effects or fuses

• It is not related to the 0x0C->0x00 in server.dll, 0x960C hack

• It seems to be save, if there is no [energy_damage]

• it might be related to the shield_link (ie missing shield_link)

• it might be safe with smaller detonation_dist

After all I had the impression, the server crash happens,
just before the torpedo hits (what pointed to the detonation_dist imho)

[FR]

Some more torpedoes l8r:

It seems to be save, if the weapon explosions have no
a) negative energy_damage
b) weapon_type

How about a plugin or a hack to make that possible
and maybe also energy_damage @ the solar mines?

thats one thing ive noticed no ones done work on energy or shields so wee have no control on energy and limited on shields
full control on hull though eg
pub::SpaceObj::DrainShields <– limited control
pub::SpaceObj::SetRelativeHealth <-- full control

so not possible with a hook yet
i did make a plugin ages ago that over rides wep damage and drops the shield or if you want just leaves the shield and destroys the hull
that was just using the above setings

[Vital]

So is there a way to make hull damaged when the explosion delivers more damage than shield capacity??

[kosacid]

you can buypass the shields alltoghther and directly damage the hull if thats what you mean

here the test plugin i made it was never released

No. The idea is to override FL phenomena that the shield can absorb ANY amount of damage in one shot and the hull will not be damaged.

[kosacid]

that woukd mean control of the shield what wee dont have yet

This looks very promising, so it will allow a completely
new series of weapons.

Fully functional Repair Turret at first

[kosacid]

with a slight alter of the code you can use it to heal Helloween

I’ve noticed at vanilla capital NPCs that rapid fire broke the hull faster than shield, but maybe by killing subtargets

Talking about the fire here…
If a gun has a refire rate with a floating number(say, 0.333333333333333333333333333…), it will have some delay in refiring, about 10 percent. So you’ll have to shoot 10 percent longer to kill your target. What is chaingun plugin BTW??

Better a plugin, which will disable equipment parts for a certain percentage or/and certain time.

Like

• reduce speed about 25%
• disable thruster for 10 seconds
• disable cloak / uncloak ship
• reduce power output 10% for 10 seconds
• ….
