Should you need to change anything, the armour damage save effect is applied early on in T_Damage. Look for .armortype and .armorvalue.

Spirit: Well, the place in the code where armor affects damage is combat.qc, in T_Damage. Looks like Supa ninja'd me on that though.

Cheers 
The reason for my question; I'm wanting to implement a simplistic food/nutrtition system, which affects the amount of damage you take, e.g. if 'malnurished' you're less able to take physical harm, and the speed you can move at / how long you can run etc.
I'd prefer to have your 'nutrition' displayed on the HUD, but as I've no intention (or skill) to mess with that to much, I, planning to hack the armor system to use that.

So in reading http://wiki.qwdrama.com/Armor I couldn't help but notice that in the chart yellow has 0.5 damage absorption, but in the listing at the bottom it has 3/5. Is this an oversight or am I missing out on some juicily wonky math?
I always recall the YA being 60% absorption...

It's two separate measurements. The first is how much damage is subtracted, for the yellow armor it is 50% of the damage removed from health. Then the next factor is how much the armor decays as a result of being damaged which occurs at 3/5 of the damage amount.
I cannot verify this against code right now but I have no reason to suspect the article is incorrect about its stats.

I see nothing in the QuakeC that supports that. I see yellow giving 0.6 which is 60%.
Preach made a nice post at func_ about how armor works. Might be useful.
ajay: If you're using that area, remember that you have 4 potential images to be displayed there (including the blank), as well as a number.
