I know that each gun has a different % modifier for hit chance, but does anyone know the formula to calculate how much of BG, SG and NRG skills for each amount of PE to have max hit %? It seems to be a standard for big gunners to go for 95% on RL at max distance, not sure if there's similar things for other skills. I guess to make it complete, we could put throwing % in here too, but I feel like someone told me that was based on ST.

i know for BG 6pe and 160bg is about optimal for full use of avenger but im not sure of the exact forumla

the base to hit% is your skill.
 - add (PE-2)x16% for all long range weapons(i.e. with a range of 26+) that were already implemented in FO 1, or are upgrades of these weapons, (PE-2)x8% for the rest.
 - The scoped hunting rifle gets (PE-2)x20% instead of the x16% if you shoot at a target that is at least 5 hexes away, or no PE-bonus at all for closer enemies.
 - It seems the other newly implemented long range weapons in FO 2 are bugged, they only get the (PE-2)x8% while all long range weapons from FO 1 had the (PE-2)x16%.
 - deduct 4% per hex between you and your target.
 - deduct 20% for each point of ST missing to use the weapon properly.
 - accurate weapons get a 20% bonus. All shotguns also get that. Guess it's easier to hit because of the spread.
 - deduct the AC of your target after modifying it with the used ammo type.
 - darkness, obstructions in the line of fire, and several perks also give boni or mali, which I do not know.
 - After all the above modifiers your chance to hit CAN get below 0, but never above 95%.

WTF does that have to do with crack and pizza?

A pseudocode version of the to-hit algorithm (it's too long to call it "formula"), as reversed from the FO2 executable.
The notion of long rangedness, scope rangedness and accuracy is based on the weapon perk, a hidden property of weapon present in FO2 (proto offset 0x65).

The following are not implemented in Fonline, due to engine constrains: light level bonus/malus (and hence Night Sight weapon perk), multihex critters blocking the line of fire, difficulty settings (obviously).

Code: [Select]

if (attack_is_ranged) tohit+=location_penalty; // which is negative
    else tohit+=location_penalty/2;
What is this location penalty?

Code: [Select]

if (attacker_is_player) dist-=(perception-2)*distmod1; // player nerfed
      else dist-=perception*distmod1;
Which is the case in FOnline?

Are my calculations correct? I want to know how much small gun skill I need to be able to get 95% to hit with a regular shot at maximum range with for example a .223 pistol.

If this is the formula: to hit%= skill-(PE-2)*8-4*distance-(AC target +AC ammo modifier)

Than to use a .223 pistol at 30 hexes, I have 6 PE, against a target with 10 AC is (My skill in sg is X):
if 223 pistol is not considered a long range weapon:
95= X+(PE-2)*8-4*30-(10-20) --->X=95-4*8+120-10=173
and if 223 pistol is considerd a long range weapon (+26 hexes):
X=95-4*16+120-10=141

Is this correct or is my math skills corrupt? I need 141 to be able to hit at max range with a .223 pistol?

[Crazy]

.223 is not a long range weapon.

remember that .223 ammo has -20 AC

[KillerAnt]

.223 is not a long range weapon.

Yes I did not think it was, I was just did not know how it was implemented. The Bob wrote " - add (PE-2)x16% for all long range weapons(i.e. with a range of 26+) that were already implemented in FO 1, or are upgrades of these weapons, (PE-2)x8% for the rest."
And since .223 pistol has a range of 30 it might be in that category?

remember that .223 ammo has -20 AC

I think I did, it is the -20 in the ...*30-(10-20)...
Still I´m not sure if I have made the write calculations.

Anyone who might be able to check it out? Hmmm, why don´t I do that myself

[Roachor]

FYI bob darkness doesn't affect anything it's broken.

1. Eyes, head etc. penalty.
2. Yes.

It can't be "broken" as it was never implemented server-side in the first place.

 - deduct 20% for each point of ST missing to use the weapon properly.

so if I have a strength of only 4 i get a possible max of 120%  deduction? (for those requiring 10)   .......

In theory, but the highest ST required is 7 by some of the big guns. So with 1 ST, you could encounter this, but I don't know anyone that's made a build with 1 ST and been anywhere near successful.
