Talk:Damage Modifiers (TFTD)

About the blades in TFTD, they are listed as Armor Piercing. Now, which damage type is effective for them AP or Blade? Or is it a combination? I also wonder about their damage range, is it 0-200% as with the guns?

Regarding OSG vs executable stats, it might be worth pointing out the differences in case a well meaning type comes along to "fix" the "errors"...

Lobstermen Question

The Lobsterman article lists very different damage modifiers. Which set is correct?

From Lobsterman article:

• Armour Piercing damage reduced by 80%
• Phosphor damage reduced by 60%
• Explosive damage reduced by 50%
• Gauss damage reduced by 60%
• Sonic damage reduced by 50%
• Stun damage reduced by 20% (however one Stun bomb does the job)

From this table:

• Armour Piercing damage reduced by 80%
• Phosphor damage reduced by 70%
• Explosive damage reduced by 70%
• Gauss damage reduced by 70%
• Sonic damage reduced by 50%
• Stun damage increased by 10%

There might have been an error at the time the table in the lobsterman page was created. The cross reference table at the bottom lists the actual values that have been obtained from the game executable. These will be the correct values.

It might be an idea to revise the Lobsterman's page and remove the modifiers, and instead link to this section for reference. -NKF 21:51, 17 March 2008 (PDT)

That sounds good. I've left in the three weapon types people are most likely to be using against Lobstermen (Gauss, Sonic, and Explosive), though.--Dumas 00:04, 18 March 2008 (PDT)

New Info Concerning DM Categories

Just to point out that while reading the OSG for TFTD, it lists the Bio-Drone damage modifier category as 4. Also, in the Bio-Drones description on pgs 173-174, Dave Ellis mentions: "Bio-Drones are identical to X-COM SWSs when it comes to their susceptibility to damage". However, a code dig of the executable reveals that the Bio-Drones share category 11 with the Xarquids. The dig also shows that category 4 is used for SWSs and Displacers. Just like we thought, but at least it is verified. --Zombie 17:20, 7 April 2008 (PDT)

Hi All ! The fields Resistant to... & Vulnerable to... has different (wrong ?) information about Biodrone DM then the numbers from a table...

They do indeed. I set these tables up myself and looking back through the edit history, I see where the error occured. Back in they day, it was believed that Bio-Drones and SWS's shared column 4 on the lower table. Someon seems to have moved Bio-Drones over to column 11 with Xarquids, but did not change the upper tables. I'm not rightly sure which is correct since it was not Zombie who made the edit, so at the moment I'll leave it be. Zombie, please come by and drop your two cents in. :) Arrow Quivershaft 22:07, 18 February 2009 (CST)

I thought I may have forgotten to update the Vulnerable & Resistant listings with the correct data. Whatever the case, I changed the listings to reflect the table as that data is 100% accurate. --Zombie 23:25, 18 February 2009 (CST)

Glad we got this solved. Thanks, Z! Arrow Quivershaft 23:32, 18 February 2009 (CST)
