Mackal: Combat Revamp
|
||||
- This change brings melee combat into line with how combat is done on live.
|
||||
- This correctly applies the PC damage tables and corrects stacking order of many spells
|
||||
- Given the scope of what had to be rewritten, it was not feasible to preserve the old combat system.
|
||||
This means you will likely have to rebalance your server, which sucks, but this is very
|
||||
accurate so shouldn't require any more changes, at least none that would cause you to have
|
||||
to rebalance your server again.
|
||||
- For rebalancing, I would recommend running the optional SQL and tweaking from there.
|
||||
- To help with rebalancing there is a simulator included at utils/combat-sim.
|
||||
- You can enter the mitigation or offense values you would like to balance around (#showstats will show you them)
|
||||
a 1 on the sim is min damage 20 is max.
|
||||
- Quick recommendations for best ways to improve PC DPS, give them some worn (or AA) SE_DamageModifier and/or SE_MinDamageModifier
