[Warzone-dev] Update To Kills/Rank Mechanism (Implementation)
Hello again all. I have just finished testing my patch for partial kills and have attached it to this message. I have been testing it for the last couple of hours on campaign and skirmish and all seems good. Other than having to comment out a small part of multiplay.c (with possibly unknown consequences) it all seems fine and was a nice and simple implementation.

[Warzone-dev] Update To Kills/Rank Mechanism
Hi. As I am sure some of you know (I have been talking about it non-stop on IRC under the alias EvilGuru for the past week or so) I have been working on an update to the experience mechanism. In an attempt to make the system 'fairer' I have added support for partial kills, with units getting experience based off of how much damage they do to a unit (as a % of its original body.) So, for example: if a tank damages two cyborgs to 50% of their original body it would end up with 1 kill overall. I have tried to do this in as simpler way as possible, and have mostly succeeded. However, while it has been working fine in skirmish and campaign I need some clarification regarding multiplayer. For you see I am unsure how projectiles and the like are dealt with in multiplayer, I assumed that it was the same as in skirmish, but in multiplay.c on line 1608 there is a function which directly edits a droids experience when it kills another unit. If this is the case then my update would not function (as it is incremental) and so would like to know in multiplayer games whose job it is to deal with unit experience: the functions in multiplay.c or those in projectile.c?

Hi. Do units carry over rankings? I never notice much difference, they die too fast. I am not sure what you mean by carry over rankings. Could you elaborate somewhat? For your mod, would not it make fix place/wall units very powerful? To the best of my knowledge experience is only relevant for droids and not structures.

Hello. The experience points/rank is what I mean. If unit get lot kills in 1 mission, I never notice if same unit is any better in next mission. Yes, currently experience does not make as bigger difference as I would like it to, but I have some plans to change that (assuming that people like what I am doing).
