<div class="IPBDescription">using a one-button script i wrote</div>The data in the following posts is mostly extracted from the lua code of the game.
Certain values (such as the Attacks until Death/Destruction charts) are calculated based on this data.
The idea is to have a script which can easily keep up with new patches, because everything is generated automatically.
I had a detailed changelog and a list of treated exceptions which I accidently deleted by overwriting it...
Damage types (the following is commented in the code):
// Normal - Regular damage
// Light - Reduced vs. armor
// Heavy - Extra damage vs. armor
// Puncture - Extra vs. players
// Structural - Double against structures
// Gas - Breathing targets only (Spores, Nerve Gas GL). Ignores armor.
// StructuresOnly - Doesn't damage players or AI units (ARC)
// Falling - Ignores armor for humans, no damage for some creatures or exosuit
// Door - Like Structural but also does damage to Doors. Nothing else damages Doors.
// Flame - Like normal but catches target on fire and plays special flinch animation
// Corrode - deals normal damage to structures but armor only to non structures
// ArmorOnly - always affects only armor
// Biological - only organic, biological targets (non mechanical)
// StructuresOnlyLight - same as light damage but will not harm players or units which are not valid for structural damage
And to be more specific:
Normal damage requires 2 points of damage to take away 1 point of armor.
Light damage requires 4 points of damage to take away 1 point of armor.
Heavy damage requires only 1 point of damage to take away 1 point of armor.
Puncture damage deals +25% against players.
Flame damage deals +600% against cysts and clogs.
As for movement speed values, here is a nice thread about this (including a video):

Minigun 25 heavy damage and 0.06shoot speed. It will roast away onos :-D
thanks for the work. Still lots of old entrys in it, like lerk snipe alternate fire etc.
But what was nerve gas again? An upgrade for marine gren launcher? I think i remember the devs mentioning sth like that..
And jetpack fuel and armor upgrade woot! A jp-exclusive armor buff? Not sure if i like that..
<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2vj3mdg.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />
Because this is still in-game. Implying its coming sometime soon..
i might add exceptions some time, marking the content that is not actually in use. that would be one step into a less-dynamic direction though.
in any case, setting up some basic categories has priority i think.
speaking of which, i'm done with the basic armor/health category, please let me know if you find a bug there (it looks for Health and Armor substrings at the end of the variable name). the only exception i found by accident is FrenzyMinHealth: 10 which has no matching armor value. with a value of 10 it does not really belong into that category anyway.
i will add upgraded armor values in the future too (carapace + armor techs).
maybe i should also add "effective health" as in how much damage a unit/structure can actually take depending on the damage-type.
@DEVS:
however, i stumbled upon a minor "bug" in the .lua files: kPhaseTechResearchCost in Balance.lua is assigned twice.
the assigned values are the same, but i guess the duplicate should still be removed in case of future changes of this value.
researchtime would be another category imo
not every category is covered yet but it's getting somewhere.
later on, i plan to have a different approach in an additional post: sorting things by "object"-keywords (e.g. everything related to shotguns, everything related to skulks...)
but for now, i'll call it a day.
i will work on the other things first though, some of these are needed for in-depth analysis anyway.
dps looks for "DamagePerSecond" entries first, then for "GrenadeDamage" (as this is an exception) and then for "MaxDamage" (as this is an exception). the rest is just rof*damage.
Thanks!

You do realize that to this day, NS1 has an animation for onos attacking with its tendrils, right?
Well actually Onos HAD paralyze over stomp at some time. Animations are hard to cull out.
that's a very good question. there is no such thing as riflefiredelay in the balance files, i guess they wrote a unique code for it somewhere.
i'll look it up myself sometime, but maybe someone already knows the rifle's rate of fire (or even better, where it shows up in the code)?
e.g. the allignment is now instantly applied on all groups, same goes for 'codeboxes' (unless there are less than 19 lines, then it is using 'code' instead).
the seperators of the elements can now be specified as well: this allowed me to add the csv-approach in about 17 minutes, other formats might be a bit more tricky though.
exo15 + minigun 30 + dual (second) mingun 25 = 60 res. in addition with welder and mines you can carry equip worth 80 res. almost identical with 3hive onos.
im so excited to see an onos getting melted when rushing into 2-3 heavys :D
edit: couldnt see any sign of railgun and that shovel-thing uwe announced for the exo 1-2 years ago..
also added<b> effective health against certain damage types</b>. here are the formulas i used, please corret me if they are wrong:
(it sets the default values for buildings, then overwrites them in special cases)

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->if i remember correct, the rof for the rifle is 0.05<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
i actually wanted to know for sure before i use this value, still can't find it anywhere in the code though... guess i'll use it soon, so thanks.
@Pampelmuse
remember these values could be months if not years old. they COULD remain as they are but they could as well just be placeholders.
but yea, i bet it's going to be quite powerful.
i also noticed some 95% reduction value for exo. my guess is that this reflects the fraction of damage which goes against armor, so only 5% go directly against health (until armor is gone that is). because using the default value (70%) means that ~334 damage could already kill an exo.
also added "Attacks until Death/Destruction" group. the values are rounded up as you still need 6 hits if technically 5.2 would be enough.
the chart is huge, and damageupgrades for marines are still missing. so if you have any idea on how to visually display this in a more convenient way, please share it... in the meantime, i would like to point out that you can tripple-click (yes tripple) a line in the codebox to select the entire line. this might improve the overview when browsing it.
note: not all damage types are correct everywhere yet. light, normal and heavy are reliable though, puncture should work as well...
nvm: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Flamethrower" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Flamethrower</a>
it is indeed more like 28dps with the ignite ability.
thats a server-side mod mentioned in the modding forum iirc. so i guess its non-stackable in the vanilla builds
