Ah eloz again,
Cant help it. In case u r wondering why i am always reporting on bug. Its because i am a alpha/beta gamer tester. Haha. Last active game was UFOAI or otherwise known as UFO: Alien Invasion, an opensource project in sourceforge.
Okie, sidetracked.
Bug: Display of "splash" damage inaccurate.
How to I recreate the bug? Simple. I have recreated this at least 5 times.... *yeah, i am tat unfortunate to get it > 5 times*
Attempt mission: Shield Strength Test. Does not matter how much energy u have, just make sure u have min 25.
However, bring your shield down to < 25 (i.e. 1 to even 24)
Ensure your hull is valid (i have < 24 shields always for this test at least 3 times, and hull at 80 which is full).
Attempt mission until u get critical failure.... (25 damage to shields). You will realised the script noticed your shields = less than 25, hence, will kill all your shield and move the remaining damage (looks like not 1 but slightly more) to the hull.
However, the splash will be 25 blue, then 25 red. My 3 experiments show:
21/79 shields + 80/80hull become -> 0/79 shields + 70/80 hull
24/79 shields + 80/80 hull become -> 0/79 shields + 76/80 hull
24/79 shields + 80/80 hull become -> 0/79 shields + 76/80 hull (confirmed test)
These 3 above are for CRITICAL FAIL.
I have also noticed the splash damage for this for norm is also incorrectly displayed as 4 blue splash + 4 red splash.
I.e. -> If i have say 2/79 shields + 80/80 hull, then do norm mission and no crit failure, i still get 4 splash (blue) followed by 4 splash (red), though my end result = 0/79 shield + 78/80 hull.
This further led me to think if critical failure's script for transferring remaining damage to hull after absorption by shields is erroneous?
Curious,
1) Your name pls? (Creator)
2) The programming lang you have this game written in? Maybe we can consider porting it out! LOL. U tried Space Empire? Cool game. I tried modding SE 4 and i love my mod!
