Generic Weapon Info

This structure is reused for various offensive items.

Generic Weapon Info (COMBAT_DATA_FIELDS macro) (8 bytes)

0000  sint16   Damage
0002  byte     Offence value
0003  byte     Damage type
0004  byte     Special damage type
0005  [2]byte  Unused
0007  uint8    Armour penetration

The offence value is compared to the defence value of the target object. See Common Object Properties for details.

If Armour penetration is equal or higher than the Armour value of the object being hit, the full Damage is applied. Otherwise, the difference is subtracted from Damage. If the resulting value reaches 0 or lower, "No Damage" is displayed.

Special damage type matches the Special vulnerabilities sub-fields from Common Object Properties; It is split up into 0x0F primary damage (double damage) and 0xF0 super damage (quad damage).

Similar to the vulnerabilities in the common object properties, the damage type is a single 32bit value from 0003 in the source.
