It is. Feel free to update it if you want to experiment with different calculation methods. If you do update dr, I suggest you commit it to svn into the utils directory. While you are at it, you might want to rewrite it to use Dave's wml parsing package instead of dr's crude approximation to WML (circa 0.8.10). > Taking into what Sapient said about CMULs being the same > as FMULs, the formula compatible with Xan's changes become > damage = (((base_damage || SET) + ADD_1 + ADD_2) > * MUL_1 * MUL_2 * (1.0 + ToD + Leadership)) > This is (much) simpler than my previous version (phew!) and > the user can understand it eventually.

What do ADD_1 and ADD_2 do, other than complicate explanation of the damage calculations? If they are not currently used, and no-one has made use of them in several months, then I suggest they are a solution in search of a problem and be dropped as a superfluous feature. We would then be back at multiplicative damage with additive TOD and leadership, and there would be no need for brain-stretching explanations of what is going on. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
