But seriously guys, while the idea of a pooping and pissing system is hilarious, don't get to carried away, next thing someone's asking for a cooking system and then you start going to town to buy groceries, then you need a pan and firewood to make a campfire, so you'll need a woodcutting system and in the end you sit there in some wood sector at your campfire and start making bacon and eggs in your frying pan. My point is, don't let this get outta hand

Or in short Jagged Alliance: Minecraft Edition

In older versions like 4870 stable a gun will rarely jam at 94% condition; the occasional jam starts somewhere in the 80ies and below AFAICS.
And that's what I think is good value so that you can't use most dropped weapons immediately in the very same battle you found them.

/* Old jam code 
// gun might jam, figure out the chance 
//iChance = (80 - pObj->bGunStatus); 
 
//rain 
iChance = (80 - pObj->ItemData.Gun.bGunStatus) + gGameExternalOptions.ubWeaponReliabilityReductionPerRainIntensity * gbCurrentRainIntensity; 
//end rain 
			 
// CJC: removed reliability from formula... 
			 
// jams can happen to unreliable guns "earlier" than normal or reliable ones. 
//iChance = iChance - Item[pObj->usItem].bReliability * 2; 
			 
// decrease the chance of a jam by 20% per point of reliability; 
// increased by 20% per negative point... 
//iChance = iChance * (10 - Item[pObj->usItem].bReliability * 2) / 10; 
			 
//rain 
// iChance = iChance * (10 - Item[pObj->usItem].bReliability * 2) / 10; // Madd: took it back out 
//end rain 
			 
if (pSoldier->bDoBurst > 1) 
{ 
// if at bullet in a burst after the first, higher chance 
iChance -= PreRandom( 80 ); 
} 
else 
{ 
iChance -= PreRandom( 100 ); 
} 
*/ 

It was commented out and replaced in revision 2207. I guess this is the time when the higher jam probability started.

jamChance = 100 - sqrt ( 100 * (75 - 0*15) + 100 /2 ) = 100 - sqrt ( 7500 + 50 ) = 100 - 86 = 14

jamChance = 100 - sqrt ( 100 * (75 - 0*15 + 100 /2 ) )
          = 100 - sqrt ( 100 * 125 ) = 100 - 111 = -11
          = 0

Flugente, would you mind if I increase the thresholds of all machine guns by factor 5 on SVN?

I just had a fight were my machine gunner shot 23 rounds from his MG36 and after that the gun had a long red line on it saying "Temperature is dangerous"... :yikes:
I think that a machine gun should be able to fire at least 200 rounds before starting to overheat.

• damage threshold
• jam threshold
• cooldown speed

That's not a machinegun, that's only marginally better than a standard G36.

I meant modifiers for

• damage threshold
• jam threshold
• cooldown speed

These modifiers would be used ingame. Modifying on reading is a potentially bad idea, as it is confusing when what you put into the xml isn't what you receive.

in exe 6463. The modifiers are stored in the new "Item_Settings.ini" which is part of GameDir 1800.
I left the defaults at 1.0 to not confuse players that have mods installed.

Seeing a new file, wouldn't at least some of the [Item Property Settings] fit in this new file?

P.S. The files uses Linux new line format, so the new lines don't appear under Windows Notepad.

• OVERHEATING_DISPLAY_JAMPERCENTAGE controls wether the temperature bar shows temperature/jam threshold(true) or temperature/damage threshold (false). MMight be useful for those testing new overheating values and want to see effects on thresholds ingame.
• OVERHEATING_TEMPERATURE_GLOBAL_MODIFIER is obsolete and this removed, as the same effect can be achieved by OVERHEATING_TEMPERATURE_PISTOL_gunclass in Item_Settings.ini, which silversurfer so kindly coded.
