armor values displayed like in original doom

(1/3) > >>

nokturnal:
maybe been discussed already, but i did a search and couldnt find anything on it..

so, like this?

green armor: 100%
blue armor: 200%
red armor: 300%?

Malek Deneith:
Redundand overcomplication - not needed.

nokturnal:
thanks for the friendly reply - it might be redundant for those of us who played the original game, but i was thinking for new players, there's no visual feedback/stats that show that which armor is better than the other (or by how much). i thought this would be a (not to complicated?) way of showing this..
altenetively maybe use the original names, security and combat armor and color the text respectively?

Aki:
Lol. I didnt Even play the original DOom, and i figured out the armour system.
Eh, im happy the way it is.

Errr?
First of all the armor system in DoomRL is completely different from Doom. And secondly it's perfectly fine as it is now. Armor shows up as
Armor : red armor [4/4] (XX%)
Armor : blue armor [2/2] (XX%)
Armor : green armor [1/1] (XX%)
Higher armor value = better and XX% = durability. Same system hundrets of games use and people who are new to games in general should just read the manual for 5 minutes...

--- Quote ---Hey, you think you're cool because you found some armor? Think again. Look,
there are three numbers by the armor. The first two in square brackets are
[current damage resistance/maximum damage resistance]. The second one is
your armor's health. 100% means it's undamaged, 1% is almost destroyed. The
more damaged an armor is the lower its actual resistance is. Throw away
armors that have a damage resistance equal zero -- they won't help you
anyway. Keep an eye on those numbers!
