Changing the Physical Damage Formula - ReturnerScum - 06-07-2014 Hi all, I just replaced the physical damage formula with the magic damage formula successfully, so I thought I'd finally start a damage formula thread. I've seen a few interesting side effects, so it's not perfect right now, but it's a really good start for anyone who wants this sort of thing. I used the code for the wonderful magic damage overflow fix and replaced it at a section where the physical damage formula starts. PHP Code: C2/2BA6 through C2/2BAD: EA (Nullifies some beginning code. Now that I know this works, I could likely begin the real working code here.) Then you will need the rest of the magic overflow fix: PHP Code: (custom function. 2 checks make sure damage doesn't wrap past 65535) And it works! Unfortunately, what are the side effects? Well I wrote over the gauntlet code, so damage won't increase from gauntlet until I put that in somewhere (not too hard). It also seeeems like ignore defense doesn't work right for physical damage, and the Atma weapon formula runs after this formula, so it's all huge damage now. Why would anyone do this? Well, naysayers---it's all about values. Vigor being doubled in the original formula means the maximum vigor that has any effect is 128, even if you get higher than that. And also--I was finding that a battle power of 255 was pretty limiting as well in the old formula---but now it would be as if your spell power was 255, which is insane damage. So now we have freed two important values to the game, all for physical damage, and made it possible for their values to matter much more before hitting their ceiling. But what are the other problems? Who can say.
