Change Log
Notes
- You can use "!cvar sv_showdamage 2" (game cvar) to check the damage.
- On realism mode the "z_non_head_damage_factor_multiplier" cvar automatically changes its value from 1.0 to 0.5.
- Headshots still does insta-kill.
- L4D1 is not supported cause the weapons doesn't do insta-kill (except headshot).
- The damage and range modifier of some weapons are calculated by weapon scripts. (e.g.: left4dead2/scripts/rifle_m60.txt) - [Check this plugin for more info]
- Chainsaw and Melee have specific cvars for damage.
- Machine Guns have specific cvars for damage and range modifier.
- There is a cvar to enable the vanilla damage calculation. (Formula: damage * difficulty * multiplier)
- There is a cvar to enable the damage dropoff calculation. (Formula: Damage * (RangeModifier ^ (Distance/500)))
- For Incendiary (DMG_BURN) the damage type flag had to be removed, otherwise even changing the damage, the common would still die. In case the zombie is going to die, the flag is restored.
- When DMG_BURN flag is added to a melee, the game register multiples damages on hit, instead of just one. So was added spam protection for melee attacks.
- The stumble effect is achieved by adding the DMG_BUCKSHOT flag.
- Valve bug: When commons die from oxygen tank, sometimes the inflictor will become another common infected.
Known Issues
- Not plugin related - the z_health cvar seems to affect the damage dealt by Machine Guns (50cal and Minigun) commons and SIs. When set with higher values, the damage taken is also increased.
To Do
- Check plugin behaviour in uncommons.
