Kickback in P_DamageMobj

This is something I noticed while I was experimenting with an instant-death punch weapon. To ensure a one-hit kill some rather high damage values are necessary. The problem is that the thrust being applied to the victim is proportional to the damage being inflicted. The problem is that the kickback calculation starts to behave erratically due to overflows. Some of them (those which result in negative thrust) are properly handled but I was able to throw the monster across huge distances several times. I think the maximum thrust being applied should also be clipped to a reasonable value.

Sweet! I want a gun that launches enemies across the level! Then I wouldn't have to use those discs of repulsion to push the monsters off the cliffs in Hexen...
You have an avatar. How strange.

Damage is always random so the result tends to become erratic with higher damage. As it is it's rather unpredictable.

It freaked me out, too, but I like it. Everyone (myself included) has been changing avatars so much lately, I've gotten used to just reading the name by default. It used to be I could see the avatar (or the lack thereof
) in the corner of my eye and know who's speaking... but when people switch it up all the time I have to take the 1/2 second to look at the name, then try to memorize the new avatar.
But it doesn't matter what I think, and it's not really much of an inconvenience anyway. I guess it's more like a quarter of a second.....
I'm glad you've found something you like.

No one was talking to you
(This is the first time I've used "quick reply"...we'll see how it works.....)
EDIT: Gee, that was rather anti-climactic... (Ok, I'm off to the General forum where I belong)

Since EarthBound rules everything non-ZDoom related (even what toppings you put on your pizza), I'll ever change my avatar.
Long Live the Kraken! *blue screen*

Hmm, I seem to be one of the few who never had the avatar changed... BTW, +10 cool points if you can guess where it's from.

I have never changed my avatar neither. Also about those points, I guess Sweden.

Can you please stop doing this nonsense in the bugs forum? I can barely stand this spamming in General but here it's unacceptable.
Thank you!
