- Leftover Health Patch
-
- After writing the text file for this patch (I can say that at this early
- point in the text since I wrote it once and forgot to save it - heh) I've
- decided to go ahead and learn to use diff and patch in the future. Doing
- this stuff manually can be a pain - and this was a simple patch! For now,
- please bear with me.

- SUMMARY
-
- I was always slightly disturbed whenever I thought about the times I had 99%
- health and walked over a 25% health box. You know, how it'd eat 1% of the box
- and waste the other 24%. This patchs aims to fix that, and I think it does a
- pretty decent job. I haven't "thoroughly" tested it, but the tests I did give
- it seemed to work fine. If anybody has experience otherwise, please email me.
-
- Simply put, it takes overflow health (ent.health-other.max_health) and puts it
- back into the box. Say you have 88% health and run over a 15% box. Your
- health would go up to 103%, so it overflows 3% back into the box which now
- becomes a 3% health box (looks the same - I haven't the tools to do modeling).
-
- Next up should be the same deal with ammo boxes. It bothers me when I have
- 197 nails and pick up 25 only to lose 22 of 'em to the void.
