This commit makes combat much more live like. This is based on a lot of parses
done by TAKP and myself. There are numerous things based on dev quotes and
hints. Pretty much all combat has changed, spell effects correct, stacking
correct, etc.
This is the fist stage of the revamp, I will be trying to remove some code
duplication and make things generally cleaner.
Server ops will have to rebalance their NPCs. AC actually means something now.
Rough recommendations?
Level 50 "classic" trash should be no more than 115.
Classic raid mobs should be more 200+ etc
Other "classic" NPCs should be a lot lower as well.
PoP trash probably shouldn't exceed 120 AC
PoP raids should be higher
Devs have said the vast majority of NPCs didn't exceed 600 AC until very
recently. The exceptions were mostly raid encounters.
There really isn't a good "default" for every server, so this will be up to
the devs to find where they want their server stats to be.
This should be fairly close to live-like.
Based on client decompiling, Torven's write up and parses and more parses.
It will probably break your server.
New limits:
Tit: 9
SoF: 9
SoD: 10
UF: 12
RoF: 12
RoF2: 12
The SoF client doesn't actually support 10 like SoF should
RoF/RoF2 actually have 4 extra broken spell gems in the UI. They don't work and
will likely crash your client
Quest stuff assumes you are passing in valid slots.
(note the old default of 10 should be 22)
There are still somethings to do like clean up the memmed spells if one switches
to an older client that doesn't support as many as their previous client.
Added better netcode support for handling out of order acks, to preclude excessive resending of same packets.
Changed how timeout checks are performing on individual packets, for re-sends, so they do not happen more often than the client can respond.
Improved how the data rate limit for throttling packets for compressed stream, so the size reduction in packets are accounted for better.
Added live like proc chance modifer based on level difference to target.
"Anything above your level will receive full mod. Starting 6 levels below PC level there is a negative 10 % mod applied each level until it reaches 0 and will not proc on anything 15 levels below you or lower."
Thanks to Huffin from PEQ for the parse data
We now consume 1 item ID for say links, this means you will be able to create
more items! We used ID 0xFFFFF for this, which is the max ID an item can be
in the item links. You have the rest to play with!
Normal say links pass the ID in the first aug slot and silent say links
in the second aug slot. This means we can have MANY more say links as well!
