"Instant Death" over-rides "Miss if prot. from ailments"

Make sure "Spell miss if death protected" is still checked. If not, the new code is skipped entirely.

Oh, whoops! Now that seems to work, so I'm getting warmer! But the other problem with spells like Death and X-Zone hitting things that should not be Death-able persists, as well as Stamina's involvement in these spells being totally negated.

Ok, I see what's wrong. Try this:

Code:

AD A7 11       LDA $11A7    (Attack's Special Byte 3)
89 04          BIT #$04
F0 05          BEQ $--
B9 95 3C       LDA $3C95,y    (Target's Special Byte 3)
4A             LSR
60             RTS

B9 A1 3A       LDA $3AA1,y    (Special Properties)
60             RTS

Unless there are any further developments, that one seems to be working *perfectly*. Stamina and Death protection work fine on their own, and Cleave / Oblivion cleaves anything and everything except those marked (I've also decided to utilize this code for Strago's Desperation Attack). Thank you so much!

Hello,

I seem to have overlooked something, here, though I am not sure where it is in the code exactly. Evidently, the "Cancel enemy desperation attack" effect is nullified when used with this new coding, leading to Retainer / Yojimbo countering such attacks despite being cleaved.

"Cancel enemy desperation attack" only lasts one turn.  so if there are more enemies remaining (and they eventually act) or any characters with periodic damage/healing, the enemy counter will kick in then; it was merely delayed.  this is a known issue on vanilla.

I see. For the time being, in lieu of a solution, I am going to have to put up with it.
