[Guest]

I'm looking for a good, FREQUENTLY VISITED forum where visitors can ask and answer questions about CON-hacking of Duke Nukem 3D.

Thank you.

Great. I was wondering if someone messed with 'addammo' command long enough to write a book on it. I mean limitations, reaction to player conditions etc.

addammo? It's really not that complex. It will add or remove ammo basically.

Yes, but how will it react if weapon's ammo is at maximum (very important)? Or if 'addammo' is negative, and weapon's ammo is at zero? If you are holding shotgun, and ammo gets negative, will you change your weapon? Will you shoot?

I know the answer to about 70% of these questions, but I don't want to waste time experimenting trying to find more.

addammo cannot take you over the maximum - if it did then picking up ammo wouldn't work correctly.
It is quite happy about taking you below zero though.

addammo is documented in hconfaq http://www.dukeworld.com/oglbt

There is an online version, a downloadable html version and a text version of it on the site. I forgot if I uplaoded a pdf version of it aswell or not.

Irelands worst Air Disaster occured today when small two-seater Cessna 152 crashed into a cemetery early this morning in central Ireland. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

To cyborg:
When ammo for current weapon drops below zero, ammo counters get messed up (they're trying to display '-' before the number, very amusing), but weapon doesn't change. If you change your weapon manually and try to switch back to it, CURRENT ammo counter displays zero and switches to another weapon. Main ammo counter is still trying to display negative number, though.

To Veldrik:
You don't have .pdf version.

About 'addammo': you wrote that if weapon's ammo is at maximum, 'addammo' invokes 'break'. Quite true - that explains why in ammunition items' codes, in the part where it checks for player proximity, 'addammo' always goes first after 'if' conditions list.

About 'EXPLOSION2' lightning effect - first frame of the explosion HAS to show up. Unless you draw the first frame blank, you'll always get 'flashes' when trying to make lightning effects. I thought it was worth mentioning.

About 'cstat 32768' - I'm SURE you can't hit an actor with this 'cstat' DIRECTLY, but it can be hurt with 'splash damage' weapons, like RADIUSDAMAGE and, possibly, shrinker 'explosion'. Again, I think it's worth mentioning.

How do you think I knew the counter would go below zero? I did it. I already know this, and seeing as you've now done it yourself I kinda wonder why you asked in the first place?

I think it's pretty obvious. I asked the question because at the moment I didn't have the opportunity to experiment with Duke3D. Also, I asked if there's anything else worth knowing about 'addammo', besides its behaviour at limits.
