Is there a DB setting for max damage?

Maze_EQ (in another topic/question) suggested an issue I was having with procs might be related to a DB setting on damage caps. At the time (and for the specific issue) that was not the case.

I'm now testing 2hs weapons against a creature in zone 476 (which have supernaturally high regen in the default install), so I changed my weapon from 35 dmg to 350, 500, 750 and now 10000 (baby steps, right?)

however, from 350 up to 10000, my max is still roughly 1500 on a hit (and lower as an average).

I've been attacking this creature for the last 10 minutes, and it is still full life (due to the regen.) While I would be interested in knowing more about the regen, I'd also love to get that 10k dmg base showing up.

What is the table where I can change this? (I didn't see anything for 'dmg' or 'damage' related to users, clients, or accounts)

Thank you

I've seen this mentioned before but don't remember where. There's a hardcap in the source somewhere. I think the level based caps allow you to go up to around 1000, but with those turned off the cap is around 1200-1500. Not sure where as I haven't really looked into it.

LevelBasedDamageCaps I believe?

I think that's it, I have it set to 0 but haven't exactly had a reason to test anything with damage that high lol

That's it.

Don't have a database in front of me. just shitty memories.

that sound like something I'd like to try. I don't see any variation on those terms in either the Variables table or information_schema.columns

Where should I look for adjusting this? or is this strictly on the cpp side?

Thank you

Here is another way you can scale your damage.

in attack.cpp after line 5100.

(below this block)

Code:

if (IsClient()) {

                int extra = 0;

                switch (hit.skill) {

                case EQEmu::skills::SkillThrowing:

                case EQEmu::skills::SkillArchery:

                        extra = CastToClient()->GetHeroicDEX() / 10;

                        break;

                default:

                        extra = CastToClient()->GetHeroicSTR() / 10;

                        break;

                }

                hit.damage_done += extra;

add this:

Code:

//#####################################################################################################################################################################

                if (GetClass() == WARRIOR || GetClass() == PALADIN || GetClass() == SHADOWKNIGHT || GetClass() == BARD || GetClass() == BERSERKER) {

                        hit.damage_done = ((hit.damage_done*(CastToClient()->GetSTR())/(RuleI(Combat,StatModDivideByAmount)))/(RuleI(Combat,TotalModDivideByAmount)));

                }

                if (GetClass() == MONK || GetClass() == BEASTLORD || GetClass() == ROGUE || GetClass() == RANGER) {

                        hit.damage_done = ((hit.damage_done*(CastToClient()->GetDEX())/(RuleI(Combat,StatModDivideByAmount)))/(RuleI(Combat,TotalModDivideByAmount)));

                }

//#####################################################################################################################################################################

So it looks like this:

Code:

if (IsClient()) {

                int extra = 0;

                switch (hit.skill) {

                case EQEmu::skills::SkillThrowing:

                case EQEmu::skills::SkillArchery:

                        extra = CastToClient()->GetHeroicDEX() / 10;

                        break;

                default:

                        extra = CastToClient()->GetHeroicSTR() / 10;

                        break;

                }

                hit.damage_done += extra;

//#####################################################################################################################################################################

                if (GetClass() == WARRIOR || GetClass() == PALADIN || GetClass() == SHADOWKNIGHT || GetClass() == BARD || GetClass() == BERSERKER) {

                        hit.damage_done = ((hit.damage_done*(CastToClient()->GetSTR())/(RuleI(Combat,StatModDivideByAmount)))/(RuleI(Combat,TotalModDivideByAmount)));

                }

                if (GetClass() == MONK || GetClass() == BEASTLORD || GetClass() == ROGUE || GetClass() == RANGER) {

                        hit.damage_done = ((hit.damage_done*(CastToClient()->GetDEX())/(RuleI(Combat,StatModDivideByAmount)))/(RuleI(Combat,TotalModDivideByAmount)));

                }

//#####################################################################################################################################################################

        }



        // this appears where they do special attack dmg mods

Now in ruletypes.h add this :

Code:

RULE_INT(Combat, StatModDivideByAmount, 100) // Stat divided by amount for melee damage

RULE_INT(Combat, TotalModDivideByAmount, 100) // Total divided by amount

now recompile source.

This is damage scaled for Warrior, Paladin, Shadowknight, Bard, Berzerker using the Strength stat and Monk, Beastlord ,Rogue, Ranger using Dexterity stat, using 2 settings in your ruletypes which can be changed via sql query.

You can change the math to whatever you wish in the source then change the variables on the fly in the Variable tables. This is just an example.

Oh yeah, and the sql entries:

Code:

INSERT INTO `rule_values` (`ruleset_id`,`rule_name`,`rule_value`) VALUES ('1','StatModDivideByAmount','100')

INSERT INTO `rule_values` (`ruleset_id`,`rule_name`,`rule_value`) VALUES ('1','TotalModDivideByAmount,'100')
