Submit it to RTCM and Corvin can add it to the examples section: we need more.

Armour class as in what? You mean different players get different armour levels? Or do you mean that the map maker can change have four different types of armour to use in their maps?

Veldrik, it's clear he means Quake style armour classes.

it wont work! it STILL gives 100! this needs work, and SP use......

Veldrick was it you? or did i do those armor classes? I can't remeber, maybe its in the old rtcm kit i never finished...

Dam, ya theres alot of examples we need. I just didnt have time to package codes back then...err

Cyborg you know I don't play quake.

And if you look at his code, all it is is the normal code, except if the palette is different, it adds more armour. Therefore, it will only work IF HE CHANGES THE PALETTE OF THE ARMOUR SPRITE IN BUILD.EXE.

PS - Corv, you were the one that made the kit. You asked me about the palette bit, and how an actor can't ellectively spawn a different paletted actor, but yuo wrote all of the code yourself.

exactly, that is supposed to add a quake feel to duke's armor

stick to the topic, buttmuncher

try Lithduke, you'll love it

The problem is it's just something to look at. In my experience, 1 armor point is equal in value to both 0 armor points and 150 armor points. How much you have doesn't matter... you still take the same amount of damage (even though Matt claims it's different) so it's just something to say, like "ooh, I know where the heavy armor is". Totally useless.

Play it multiplayer - my friends and I find that 100 armour helps you to survive three blasts from a shotgun much better than 0 armour.

What about an armour class that will increase the longer you live?
Sort of like an RPG. Your experience over time will increase your skill and ability to aviod shots. Therefore increasing your armour class slightly.

You can't change how protective armour is. You have it or you don't.
