What ? It's better than Zdaemon SSG... oh wai-

[Dark-Assassin]

Looks like someone got on the bad side of zdoom's since forever broken RNG system, which is hardly random.
I believe I know how it's broken.

I demand the SSG be put back as an instakill weapon, its completely unrealistic and this broken RNG system ruins my strategies of being a good player, this is an outrage, its not fair that armored players can still live after being shot, ect.

Actually, that shot not only took about 20 hp, it boosted me across the bridge! thanks buddy

What were the DMFlags on that server?

How?

[Dark-Assassin]

Well, from what I gather from it, once it picks a number, it has a higher chance of picking a similar area of numbers than anywhere else. Thus not really being completely random.

ZDoom's RNG is technically superior to the one of Vanilla Doom. The latter is just a single table with 256 precomputed entries, it's not even remotely playing in the same league as the Mersenne twister algorithm used by ZDoom. Many people don't appreciate ZDoom's better randomness though ;).

[Qent]

I DO! :D But if ZDoom's RNG isn't working as advertised, then that's super serious.

[Torr Samaho]

Is there any real evidence that ZDoom's RNG is not working as it it should?

vanilla doom LUT sucks balls compared to any real PRNG when it comes to generating random numbers, but people still like it more than any attempted "real randomness", because it's usually set up badly. is there anything like the doomwiki damage histograms available for the zandronum SSG?

This was done in the Skulltag.exe no doubt, and the second shot was a miss because you fired before attempting the swing of your ssg.

It should have killed him at the bridge if anything. Nothing new, welcome to Skulltag's inconsistency.
