-: Excessive Dawn Weapon Config :-

I tested it on Dakini's place.
I think it's an overall good config.
I did notice however that the lg kills really fast.
My bots switch weapons ,using the lg at close range, and one touch with the lg killed me instantly.
Also, I use the bfg to move with excessively. I noticed if one isn't careful they will find themselves without a means to move as they are used to.
That however, can probably be adjusted to.

I used to have super human powers, but my psychiatrist took them away.

Lg is slightly stronger than before, due to armor really being usefull in protecting you against mg and lg. I will tweak lg and mg damage more, till i hit that "perfect" ratio of unarmored killing and armored killing.

As for bfg, yes it takes more care, but if you combine it with nades or rockets to move arround, you should be fine.

Note that 1vs1 and ctf have 4 bfg shots, so its harder to run out there (since both gametypes need more moving).

Here is a mathematical study of weapon damage per second.

  1. Machinegun Damage: 23;
    Cycle: 70;
    DPS: 328;
  2. Shotgun Damage: 40;
    Cycle: 900;
    DPS: 578;
    DPS Real: 311;
  3. Grenade Launcher Damage: 303;
    Damage 1vs1: 375;
    Cycle: 500;
    DPS: 606;
    DPS 1vs1: 750;
    DPS Splash: 200;
  4. Rocket Launcher Damage: 1050;
    Cycle: 800;
    DPS: 1312;
    DPS Real: 500;
    DPS Splash: 208;
  5. Lightning Gun Damage: 21;
    Cycle: 50;
    DPS: 420; <- imo now its much too high, will tweak down.
  6. Railgun Damage: 1050;
    Cycle: 1100;
    DPS: 954;
    DPS Real: 363;
  7. Plasma Gun Damage: 100;
    Cycle: 130;
    DPS: 769; <- this cant really go over the usuall 400 assumed, even though it looks insane, in practice its normal.
  8. BFG Damage: 1050;
    Cycle: 1000;
    DPS: 1050;
    DPS Real: 400;
    DPS Splash: 300; <- and this is assuming half splash damage, usually it will insta kill. Perhaps a tone down is in order.

Note: "DPS Real" assumes that the enemy has 300 hp and 100 armor, everything that does more damage than that per shot, is reduced to that.
"DPS Splash" assumes half of splash damage being delivered per shot.
Shotguns "DPS Real" assumes half+ of slugs hit (13 total, 7 hits).

Taking a look at the table, lg seems too strong now, and also bfg splash seems to need tweaking. I will try out new values later today.

yesterday we played FW vs Absolut in this cfg on freeze.

and i can say that it was funny and intresting, need to get used to it for more flow, but good, keep it goin!

btw my suggestion as a biggest whinner about freakin campers in e+ - make anti camp uber strong with immediate death without any reduce of health!!! but maybe with not big range... so u can shoot ur mate to other part of room to thaw after killing spree Happy

DIE CAMPERS, DIE!!!

Actually, that would make them just camp in same room, moving left right.

With high radius, low damage, they are forced to move from room to room, or arround a bigger room.

Worst camp spots are the smallish rooms that are hard to manouver in.

Camp protection organized this way tends to discourage people to camp in such small, tight places.

New version up with tweaks:

-mg is now 303 dps.
-lg is now 333 dps.
-you spawn with 100 armor in TDM and TAG to make it harder to rape with splash damage and mg and lg.

i think its the main objective - make them move even inside the room, not just sitting and aiming to some doorpass or spawnpoint...

i guess it should be tesed what will work better - small range with big dmg or big range with small dmg...

Actually that has been tested already, and my prefered one was high radius, high damage Winking

I got flamed for it though Sad

Anyway, dload the config, and try making some other camp protections, then send me the one you liked, and i will give it a go.

Deal?
