| Summary | 0000371: Time compression breaks beams | ||||
| Description | Setting a time compression of greater than 1 decreases the amount of damage done over a beams lifetime. IIRC, it has something to do with beam damage calculations being done with seconds and such, and perhaps its using real life seconds instead of simulation seconds... | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Make a mission, 1 ship with beam, one ship as target. Make a beam fire sexp, and first run it in 1x time. Note the hull damage. Restart the mission. Set the time compression to 2x or greater. Fire the beam again. Note the damage done. | ||||
| Additional Information | Haven't tried it on fighter beams, though i doubt it would be any different... | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

oops... that should be "Gameplay" or "Beams", not "DirectX"... |
|
|
would this be a backwards compatibility problem if we change it? |
|
|
I think its a problem if you don't change it... I just tried, and if you do it JUST right, the colossus can destroy the sathanas in High Noon, while the sathanas is fully armed, by accelerating time when the sathanas is firing, and restoring it when the colossus was firing... I think it's only going to break what backwards compatability there is if the player intentionally plays in 2x or 4x... |
|

actually if you changed the time compression to 1/4x when the C was firing, then it would do a whole lot more :) anyway i think i fixed this. I just need WM to fix the turret refire speed and then i can test this without pulling my hair out. edited on: 04-18-05 18:11 |

I thought of that, but that would be enabling cheats, which would be confounding the problem :p ... |

|
Hippo, taylor fixed some timer issues in his most recent build. Try it and see if it's any different. |
|
|
i thought phreak already fixed it? I haven't noticed it happening again (though i'll admit, i haven't looked for it)... |
|
|
Reminder sent to Hippo Hippo, could you please run a quick check if this (old) bug has been fixed? |
|
|
Yeah, its good. |
|
|
Reported fixed. |
|
|
Ugh, can't resolve without taking the credit. |
|
|
This might work |
|
|
Reminder sent to phreak This bug is marked as Resolved, but I'm still encountering it in builds as of March '06. At compressions of 32x and 64x there's no beam damage done at all. Better double-check it. |
|
|
Reopening then. |
|
|
Fixed, or made not as obvious. |
