Spell Effect Questions (specifically resists)

Is there anywhere that I may find a break down of spell effect types? The spdat.h and spell_effects.cpp give a good starting point, but there are questions it leaves.

For example:

Code:

case SE_LimitResist:

        if(base1) { 

                if(spell.resisttype != base1) 

                return 0;

        } 

        else {

                return 0;

        }

While this is a good start, I do not know the resist types.

I am trying to create a few spells that mitigate/absorb damage based on resist type (if possible). Such as spells that increase a player's resist to say poison and disease AND mitigate spell damage of those elements by a certain percentage.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!

Within spdat.h:

Code:

enum RESISTTYPE

{

        RESIST_NONE = 0,

        RESIST_MAGIC = 1,

        RESIST_FIRE = 2,

        RESIST_COLD = 3,

        RESIST_POISON = 4,

        RESIST_DISEASE = 5,

        RESIST_CHROMATIC = 6,

        RESIST_PRISMATIC = 7,

        RESIST_PHYSICAL = 8,        // see Muscle Shock, Back Swing

        RESIST_CORRUPTION = 9        

};

and

Code:

#define SE_ResistFire                                        46        // implemented

#define SE_ResistCold                                        47        // implemented

#define SE_ResistPoison                                        48        // implemented

#define SE_ResistDisease                                49        // implemented

#define SE_ResistMagic                                        50        // implemented

Thank you for the reply.

Would you happen to know if MitigateSpellDamage can be paired with LimitResist to specifically affect set spell types? Such as Mitigate X percent of only Fire damage?

I don't know off the top of my head, but I would assume so..

Similar to focus effects affecting a specific resist type, but I don't know if spells would be any different. I'm sure someone has tried it.

I guess first I need to find out how to get a spell to Mitigate a certain type.

I used:

Code:

(effect)                (min)        (max)        (limit)

Resist Poison                 120         120         0

MitigateSpellDamage        15         100000         0

LimitResist                 4         0         0

Is there something stupid I have overlooked (or is there another effect(s) I should be using)?

Also, is there an effect that would INCREASE spell damage taken (and possibly limited by resist)? I tried MitigateSpellDamage -15/0/0, failed. I tried -15/10000/0, failed.

Thank you in advance for any insight offered!
