Bug 1:

Category: Code.
Summary: Flame weapons has no damage over time if neither Barbecue or Napalm selected.
Description: KFPerk_Firebug, function ModifyDoTScaler (line 221).

Spoiler!

{
    local float TempScaler;
    if(IsFuseActive() && IsDamageTypeOnPerk(KFDT))
    {
        TempScaler = GetSkillValue(PerkSkills[2]);
    }
    if(IsNapalmActive() && IsDamageTypeOnPerk(KFDT))
    {
        TempScaler += (GetSkillValue(PerkSkills[4]));
    }
    DoTScaler = TempScaler;
}

Function returns 0 if neither of skills selected.

Bug 2 - Ignore this, read my post below.

Category: Code.
Summary: Each time player hits target ZED with flame weapon while having Napalm selected, Napalm effect applied at all nearby ZEDs at same rate as weapon shoots.
Description: Target ZED doesn't get marked bNapalmInfected so each time TakeDamage happening on it, CheckForNapalmInfect also happeing so all nearby ZEDs take way more damage than your target (50 points per fire interval).

noticed this too, but this is the best explanation of it i've seen, good work as always.

-any idea why the firebug weapons auto shoot for a short period after you stop? this bugs me in various ways.

Bump it:

1. Still no DOT if neither of skills selected.

2. Napalm does not work, from what i see none of nearby ZEDs ever gets marked as napalm infected. I think AOE radius should be x2 or x3 wider to make it work.
