Did you really just ask that question?Originally Posted by tarasm
The most up-to-date info was in the THN article yesterday - in short, I'm close, but need more free time to work on the bloody thing.
I'm working on self-cast psi shields now, so increasing your PPU, say, will reflect on your resist graphics if you've got a self-cast psi shield active.
My present issue is.. (figures chosen for easiness)
A TL3 deflector gets 100% dmg
This works out to a 2% shield (say) to force and pierce
A TL 64 Holy Deflector gets 100% damage
This works out to... what? TL64 is 21.33 x higher than TL3, so is the shield simply this much greater? The complexity appears to be in getting the dmg% figures, so I am assuming (eep) that the tricky bit is done. What's clear is 100% dmg on a TL64 shield is greater than 100% dmg on a TL3 shield. Is this linear?
So it's either something nice and neat, like: shield percent = dmg% * tl * some factor - in which case I'll try to get released this weekend...
or something horrible similar to the actual dmg calculation. In which case I'll have to spend weeks trying various measurements and testing, or reassess how I'm building psi shields
Speak russian ffs...No one knows english
Been playing a bit with Ver2 and it looks great mate!! Really really well done there. Very good update.
The weapon additions are brilliant as are thing such as run speed% indicators etc.. do you know how to allow for HC weapon slow down ?? might be something worth adding to your very long list of future additions
Top job.
Why not ask for paypal optional contributions for your hard work mate?
Am sure most people would buy you a beer!

Heh, ty, I'm glad you likeOriginally Posted by RAB
I was doing this quietly, so as not to get inundated with "xyz doesn't work" as the version up there is a preview version, and not the finished article. You think V1 was shoddy when released, you should see V2 If anyone else is downloading it, please please please read the download page, and also the nag MessageBox on start up, to understand where I'm coming from with this preview
As for HC... that's a toughie. I'll have to think it through.
Yeah, Np. I think the various disclaimer you got on the web page and the splash scrn cover that lol I got the message.Originally Posted by StevenJ
Re HC - well it seems ver2 does everything else thought you'd want it to be perfect!

Very good work on the NSkill.
However, I have noticed something that was present in version 1 and is still presnt in version 2. Not all the tank melee power armours have athletics malus. In fact quite a few up to a certain tech level have a heavy combat malus. Tech Haven data base has the correct Power Armour stats.

Cheers, I'll get on that now. For the 'proper' release, working with itemGFX, I'm able to get access to an authorised item listing. That means (shock horror) we may well have a full and correct items listingOriginally Posted by Hell-demon
NSkill? Complete items listing? Just doesn't feel right
Just cross reference stuff with the ones on the Tech Haven item DB. To their credit they do have a well comprised and accurate list of item stats.
You might also look into implementing the...babe suit armour.
Edit: Also you appear to have added two regant rifle PE PA's but no pistol PA. Might wanna get that one fixed.

There's also the Spy Regant PA that is missing, but it's also missing from the THN website as well.

There is a link that works for V2 on nskill.co.uk, on the download page. You'll just have to read the text to find it as there are issues you should know before using it
And thanks for the missing items chaps, I'll get those added asap
When do you think that NSkill will be updated and completed?
Is there an ETA?
