Heh, you'd have to ask KingMort on that one. It's his number crunching that I need to balance stuff around :P

But yeah. That's why I need that much damage; to have mobs that can hit slow but hard. When you have players with 180k HP, sometimes 32767 damage doesn't cut it.

It is either that, or we lower the stats on gear again. If it was up to me, I would have MUCH less numbers, something simple like 36.

It was probably int16 in the struct at sometime in the past and never updated.

Ah, gotcha. So it is safe to update these to their proper values?

I guess i'll go try it; though I don't have my devenv set up, which is why I made this post. ><

Don't see any reason why they couldn't be updated safely.

I just updated the value in npc.h and zonedump.h to int32 and I don't have any issues with it. The rest of the source has it listed as int32 already.

Any chance of getting it committed, or is it not needed for any server except my own? :p

Throw a diff on submissions and I'll commit it with the rest of this combat stuff I'm finishing up(if no one else does first)
