Fall damage inconsistency

[doublah]

Currently, fall damage appears to randomly differ between 2 different values from a set height with the same health/armour beforehand. This presumably is worse when at higher distances.

I tested this on ff_ksour with the following command:
bind e "impulse 101;setpos -316.288422 1729.641235 1048.072266;setang 40.512035 -178.799026 0.000000;+forward"

Can also provide a demo if required, but it seems easily reproducable.

My guess would be it's caused by variance in 'when' you collide with the ground. The collision detection could potentially occur X frames later, which then means you'd be going faster when you collide than if you had been detected as colliding X frames earlier.

Not sure what to do about that. There doesn't seem to be anything innately random in the fall damage calculation code.
