Wild West BIG Update - 7/1/2016

Overall, the update was decent however the only problem with the diamond armor spawning with random durability is that many people have been trying to scam other people by selling "Diamond armor 50% off" when the durability is at 20/500. I just wanted to warn everyone that you should be more careful now when buying diamond armor.

 

Mario, I love you. I think that all of this will change the server for the better.

 

@Mario, can you do anything to fix that T-Gewehr one-shot kill bug/glitch? It makes Kevlar worthless.

 

Same for diamond armour. Sheriff vs teams fights aren't fun at all if the sheriff can just one shot a full diamond.

 

At least some sheriffs are decent enough to return the gear when that happens. @_Featherpaw_ <3

 

@Mario, What's do sheriffs get payed per drug and per illegal weapon now?

 

Niceeee

 

@Mario, when you talk about damages, does 1 damage = 1 minecraft heart or 1/2 minecraft heart? Additionally, what guns can headshot and how much does that boost their damage? Also, does wild west use the 1.9 and up armor reduction values or the 1.8 and below armor reduction values? In case you don't know what I'm talking about...

Spoiler: 1.9 Calculations

(From the Minecraft wiki)
Damage Protection
Damage taken depends on the number of defense points, the toughness of the armor worn, and the strength of the attack.

The damage formula is damage = damage * ( 1 - min( 20, max( defensePoints / 5, defensePoints - damage / ( 2 + toughness / 4 ) ) ) / 25 ). Each defense point grants a maximum of 4% damage reduction; the more damage a given attack does, the lower the percentage reduced by the armor, down to a minimum of .8% per defense point. As toughness increases, the amount of defense reduction done by high-damaging attacks is diminished, and as toughness approaches a very high value (through commands), the defense reduction caused by high-damaging attacks becomes negligible.

Spoiler: 1.8 Calculations

(From the Minecraft Wiki)
Protection
Each defense point (1 ()) represents 4% damage reduction. A full 20 defense points indicates 80% damage reduction.

It's really important to know what the damage reduction calculation is, as it makes a huge difference. I did a bit of math to show just how big a difference it makes. Assuming that headshots do twice the amount of damage as a normal shot...

1.9 values

13.02 – repeater to full d = 6.5 hearts

13.02 x 2 – repeater headshot to full d = OSK


1.8 values

4.2 – repeater to full d = 2.1 hearts

8.4 – repeater headshot to full d = 4.2 hearts

 

@amazingallen234 told me that Illegal gun pay for sheriffs is still 200g. @Mario

OK, drug pay for sheriffs hasn't changed either. It's still 2g. @Mario, please raise the payout for sheriffs.

 

Kevlar is easily obtainable to sheriffs, two good sized arrests can pay for a full set. It takes two hours for a bandit to reach ~45k. .-.

 

Maybe raise the price of kevlar as well as the pay? I'd recommend this because it's nearly impossible for sheriffs to pay for an hq.

 

Finally, that's literally all we needed! Good job Mario!

How much damage do the guns do to armour now?

 

Really good job Mario. As always you make ww better!
