Armor
« on: October 22, 2010, 10:47:22 pm »

I had a quick search and didn't find anything similar.
How can I set the materials for weapons/armor to let more hits go through?
For example I want iron weapons to go through bronze armor about 40% of the time and bronze to go throught iron armor 80% of the time instead of iron weapons going through bronze about 0.0001% of the time and bronze going through 100% of the time.
How can I accomplish this?
Any answeres are appreciated.

You'll just have to play with the material values and see how it goes. If you don't know where to begin, the wiki page on material science may help.

If you're looking for more balanced things in general, I suggest you take a look at Arrkhal's weapon and armour mod, but note that some material properties have changed since the version that mod was created for (31.03, apparently). You'd be better off using it as a reference than anything.

I am not sure how to make the weapons stronger and armor weaker.
I will figure it out and pick through the raws when I have more time.

I finally managed to get lower material weapons to go through higher material armor at an OK rate.
I will do some more testing and upload it if anyone is interested.
