Adding a Item Shielding Cap Rule

LordKahel · #1 03-07-2008, 07:12 AM

This will add a rule to cap Item Shielding to the amount needed . I think live capped it at 30. This is the default value.

In ruletypes.h add the bold line to the Character category

Code:

RULE_CATEGORY( Character )
RULE_INT ( Character, MaxLevel, 65 )
RULE_INT ( Character, DeathExpLossLevel, 10 )
RULE_INT ( Character, DeathItemLossLevel, 10 )
RULE_INT ( Character, CorpseDecayTimeMS, 10800000 )
RULE_BOOL( Character, LeaveCorpses, false )
RULE_BOOL( Character, LeaveNakedCorpses, false )
RULE_REAL( Character, ExpMultiplier, 1.0 )
RULE_INT ( Character, AutosaveIntervalS, 300 )	//0=disabled
RULE_INT ( Character, HPRegenMultiplier, 100)
RULE_INT ( Character, ManaRegenMultiplier, 100)
RULE_INT ( Character, EnduranceRegenMultiplier, 100)
RULE_INT ( Character, ConsumptionMultiplier, 100) //item's hunger restored = this value * item's food level, 100 = normal, 50 = people eat 2x as fast, 200 = people eat 2x as slow
RULE_BOOL( Character, HealOnLevel, false)
RULE_BOOL( Character, FeignKillsPet, false)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemManaRegenCap, 15)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemHealthRegenCap, 35)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemShieldingCap, 30)
RULE_CATEGORY_END()

In attack.cpp change the following line from the void Mob::MeleeMitigation function

CHANGE

Code:

totalMit += (defender->spellbonuses.MeleeMitigation + defender->itembonuses.MeleeMitigation);

TO

Code:

	int itemMit = (RuleI(Character, ItemShieldingCap) < defender->itembonuses.MeleeMitigation) ? RuleI(Character, ItemShieldingCap) : defender->itembonuses.MeleeMitigation ;	
	totalMit += (defender->spellbonuses.MeleeMitigation + itemMit);

This will prevent players from getting a shielding too high and reduce nearly all damage. It can now be capped like on live.

Here the code to add a cap to Item Avoidance bonus .

Add the blod line to ruletypes.h

Code:

RULE_INT ( Character, ItemManaRegenCap, 15)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemHealthRegenCap, 35)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemShieldingCap, 30)
RULE_INT ( Character, ItemAvoidanceCap, 100)
RULE_CATEGORY_END()

And in Mob::CheckHitChance in the file attack.cpp .

Change

Code:

	bonus = defender->spellbonuses.AvoidMeleeChance + defender->itembonuses.AvoidMeleeChance;

TO

Code:

	int itemAvoidance = (RuleI(Character,ItemAvoidanceCap) < defender->itembonuses.AvoidMeleeChance) ? RuleI(Character,ItemAvoidanceCap) : defender->itembonuses.AvoidMeleeChance;
	bonus = defender->spellbonuses.AvoidMeleeChance + itemAvoidance;

Nice work! I was hoping to see something like this soon. Hope it makes it into the next release

This and your lore aug fix would both be great things to see in a future update

Awesome! I hope this goes in on the next patch as well. I have been looking for a way to cap my shielding and didn't really want to go through so many items to make sure players weren't mitigating too much damage. Awesome work!

We at Jest Server are trying to help out best we can.

We're also very lucky to have Pyronis on our development team.
