Monster damage adjustments
I've seen this referred to several times and I was chatting with Herm tonight and it came up again. I did a quick check in *standard* monster code (mappers can adjust this themselves too) and here are the monsters that take adjustments to certain types of damage. It will be listed as monster/damage type/percent of damage reduced (100% mean immune to this damage, 50% means it only does half the damage to them):
Ice Skaarj / Frozen / 100%
Queen / Shot / 50%
Titan / Exploded / 30%
Warlord / Exploded / 30%
Biterfish / Exploded / 90%
Slith / Corroded / 100%
Brute / Exploded / 30%
Lesser Brute however takes NO reduction
I'll bet you didn't know all these, did you? I probably need to line out the weapon damage types to further explain this but I'm pretty tired tonight. Real quickly "corroded" is the bio (goop) gun, "shot" is the enforcer, and "exploded" is the alt flak ball and certain rockets (among others). Hope this starts to clear things up for you.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
That's very handy and I do somewhat pay attention to monsters and damage types; up until now I just went by no blood, no damage.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
Same here. I did know that Slith were immune to poison damage, but I had no clue that many monsters were resistant to explosive damage. Perhaps I'll have to keep that in mind.

Behold the legacy of the oldskool player!
I already knew the one for slith, titans, iceskaarj, warlords, and brutes.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
There's also a damage type for "Fell" but It doesn't seem to come up.
Imagine a CraterGun lol.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
There are actually a bunch of damage types in the code, some specific to a particular situation. I wanted to explain this out a bit but I can see now I need to build a chart.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
It's not a joke, if a player jumps on the head of another player, the latter gets 1 HP of damage per jump.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
Actually they have to have a certain "mass" to get that damage too. I'm not sure but I think its 400, I'll have to look when I get home.

Re: Monster damage adjustments
I'm not sure that works against people on the same team as you.
Of course, Hellfy or Supreme, having been told about this, will try to and make themselves a Cowburger by crushing me into a beefy 2D shape.
I'm sure I'll find out soon.
