Leftover Health Patch After writing the text file for this patch (I can say that at this early point in the text since I wrote it once and forgot to save it - heh) I've decided to go ahead and learn to use diff and patch in the future. Doing this stuff manually can be a pain - and this was a simple patch! For now, please bear with me. CHANGES /****************************************************************************/ defs.qc line #690 add float (entity ent, float amt, float ignore) Heal; // leftover health func /****************************************************************************/ items.qc line #2 add void() SUB_healregen; line #162 change T_Heal to Heal if (!Heal(other, self.healamount, 1)) line #167 change T_Heal to Heal if (!Heal(other, self.healamount, 0)) line #171 thru line #174 remove line #181 thru line #182 change to if (!self.healamount) { self.model = string_null; self.solid = SOLID_NOT; } line #198 change to self.think = SUB_healregen; /****************************************************************************/ progs.src insert heal.qc AFTER items.qc /****************************************************************************/ SUMMARY I was always slightly disturbed whenever I thought about the times I had 99% health and walked over a 25% health box. You know, how it'd eat 1% of the box and waste the other 24%. This patchs aims to fix that, and I think it does a pretty decent job. I haven't "thoroughly" tested it, but the tests I did give it seemed to work fine. If anybody has experience otherwise, please email me. Simply put, it takes overflow health (ent.health-other.max_health) and puts it back into the box. Say you have 88% health and run over a 15% box. Your health would go up to 103%, so it overflows 3% back into the box which now becomes a 3% health box (looks the same - I haven't the tools to do modeling). Next up should be the same deal with ammo boxes. It bothers me when I have 197 nails and pick up 25 only to lose 22 of 'em to the void.
