| -SCUT-OpenGL | Posted - 12 November 2001 17:01 PST 1.some weapons seems to be more effective than other ones when shooting at specific monsters, can someone give a detailed list of them? 2.does the weapons in quake have random damage calculation like those in doom? for example, sometimes i can kill an ogre simply with 2 grenades but sometimes they need a few additional nails or a shotgun blast to die. 3.has anyone read the quake source codes to find out how to deal with monsters most efficiently? 4.is it possible to blow fish to bits? |

i think nolan told me that grenades do slightly less than rockets, if you have ever tried gibbing monsters you will know which weapons to use against what :) other than that if the shot is a bit off it can take less damage i think (why do ppl fire supershotgun at long rang i just dont' know)
nolan will know :) 4.is it possible to blow fish to bits? it is possible with the hipnotic pack, (this is how i will make gibbed demos for ep2-4 :) and also there is that fish.qc in bbelief i think. |
| Ken | Posted - 13 November 2001 10:39 PST I think those bloody ogres die randomly.. They all die with 4 accurate SSG shots, but as you stated, sometimes they wont die with 2 grenades or 2 rockets and at least 1 more shell is needed to kill them. Same with fiends, sometimes they will not die with 3 grenades.. Shamblers die soon with Shaft or SNG, they take a crapload of grenades/rockets to be killed if you're not quaded.. We live, as we dream - alone. |

All weapons hit the same on every monsters, the only exception is 'radius demage' type weapons (explosives) on shamblers: they do 50% damage on shamblers 2. The only random damage i know of is the rocket damage if you HIT something directly, it damages 100-120 on the monster you HIT. But grenades/rockets do 120 'radius damage' on the surrounding area (actual damage depends on how far the target is from the explosion) |
