Getting rid of Damage Bonus?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

Greetings.

I am trying to get rid of Damage Bonus for weapons.
So killing it in the source is clear enough.
What is not clear how to force client to stop showing it?

I went into eqstr_us.txt found this line:

3010 Dmg Bonus: %1

and delete it - the client still shows me Dmg Bonus on weapons in game.

Went through UI files - couldn't find it.
Any ideas?

Running RoF client btw

Thanks!

I was just looking into trying to get rid of damage bonus recently on select items but I am just learning and thought it could be altered in the database. I had read that the bonus is calculated using the delay on a weapon. So trying it out on a weapon item, I removed the delay and the damage bonus disappeared from the item. That's not exactly feasible though. I can't find anything in the items table to alter it and I'm definately not any kind of source coder, so I will have to wait and see what kind of information I can find, or not.

Sorry just one thing to add here. Trying things out, I noticed that damage bonus also gets added to item with character level as well. A level one character I have with a club* (9999) has no damage bonus at level one. I increased my level to 46 and the club had a damage bonus of 7. Sorry if I am patronizing anyone, I'm just getting to know these things. My intentions were to eliminate the damage bonus on any items in early expansions. Little more difficult than anticipated )

The dmg bonus is based on:

- your class - only shows up for melee classes
- level 25+
- weapon speed for 2handers

Part of the problem is that Client is forced to show it even if it is not codded in the server. So I am trying to make Ui stop showing it.

The client renders all the text, you will have to detour the function and change it :P

You mean like actual Client hacking? Isn't it illegal?

No way to block it out from being shown on UI somehow? Or show blank?

Because I see that I alter names of many things like "Poison Resist" etc, but not this one it seems.
