This is far from finalised, but atm damage is:
dmgtemp = (((party[pplayer].attack * DAM_MULT) + Random(dmgtemp, DAM_RAND)) / (enemy[lastchoice].defense + Random(0, DAM_RAND)));
A better system will be in later. :D

gannon

lets play with some numbers

DAM_MULT 4
DAM_RAND 9
damage to you
dmgtemp = ((enemy[aienemy].attack * DAM_MULT) + Random(0, DAM_RAND)) / (party[lastchoice].defense + Random(0, DAM_RAND));

Weevil attack 12
your def 10

worst case
(12*4+9)/10= 5.7 rounded down 5

best case
(12*4)/19= 2.5 rounded down 2

average case
(12*4+5)/15= 3.5 rounded down 3

something attack 40
your def 20

worst case
(40*4+9)/20= 8.45 rounded down 8

best case
(40*4)/29= 5.5 rounded down 5

average case
(40*4+5)/25= 6.6 rounded down 6

something attack 20
your def 40

worst case
(20*4+9)/40= 2.22 rounded down 2

best case
(20*4)/49= 1.6 rounded down 1

average case
(20*4+5)/45= 1.8 rounded down 1

something attack 4000
your def 2000

worst case
(4000*4+9)/2000= 8

best case
(4000*4)/2009= 7.96 rounded down 7

average case
(4000*4+5)/2005= 7.98 rounded down 7

Things I noticed what determines how much damage is the ratio of attack vs. defense (the aiming just makes a better attacking case).
For example you can not do more than 8 damage with double the attack power than the targets defense power.
Just some things to think about :)

Sorry, typo! I'll fix "sandwich" for Gayo when P7 gets finished :).

Yes, admittedly the healing in the game is a little unbalanced, since we had very little time to test it. Feedback such as the contents of this thread REALLY help towards working out what we could improve/fix. Beta testing! THAT'S what it's all about!

And it's nice to see that Dr Who is appreciated. I'm a big fan of Colin Baker and thought he was much better at being the Doctor than many people THINK he was. Terror of the Vervoids is a CLASSIC. The calm athmosphere that gradually breaks down just because someone was stupid enough to stick something highly dangerous on a passenger liner is something I wanted to recapture.

Incidentally, for anyone interested: Terror of the Vervoids is available as part of a boxed set of Dr Who videos as part of the Trial of a Timelord season of Dr Who stories. It comes in a nice police-box-shaped tin but it's fairly rare to get hold of since it was released as part of Dr Who's 30th Anniversary (in 1993). I happen to be one of the lucky few who own such a set. Yay for me. Everyone else can probably try their luck on ebay or bug the BBC for a re-release.


You know, I think I remember that one, but I am not sure. I've seen all of them except for a couple of the Hartnell and Troughton episodes, and the last one. Most of the Tom Baker and Jon Pertwee ones I have seen more than 5 times. It's likely my favorite show of all time, and I just wanted to say that it is pretty cool that someone else here digs it.

I'm an inconceivably HUGE fan. I have a Sophie Aldred autographed baseball cap! I have a copy of Target books' novellisation of the mutants, signed by Terrance Dicks! I even have a dalek bottlestopper somewhere. Masses of videos too. The first Dr Who video I ever got was a Peter Davidson serial called "Earthshock," which is very nearly the FINEST Cybermen story ever. The special effects are genuinely unsettling: I still remember watching someone step in a pool of grime, only to realise it used to be a PERSON when they spot the light catch a name badge that reads "Snyder." Doctor Who is rocking cool.
