NPCs adding elemental and bane dmg twice?

In checks to GetWeaponDamage(), the returned damage has elem and bane included. There are comments later that for NPCs, bane/elem dmg needs to be added since it wasn't earlier. But it was.

Noticed this and thought someone may appreciate the heads up. Or like I said, I'm just confused, but it looks like that's what is going on.

I have reported this like back in May and I was told it was since long fixed. After R535

Yeah, we fixed that quite a while ago. Try to make sure you are running the latest source if you are going to report bugs, please.

I'm updated to latest version out of SVN. However, like always, after posting in a forum and looking at it again I don't think it's a bug. Just sorta opaque code IMO.

The first calc adds the elem & bane dmg for POTENTIAL dmg. Later the min & max damage is augmented with the elem & bane damage for a range of the actual damage done.

So no bug, and no harm done by my uninformed posting. Perhaps someone else that is thinking the same thing will find this.

Maybe if you post the code you are referring to, it will be easier to see what you are talking about. I know that KLS and I worked on some issues with Bane and Elemental damage a couple of months ago that was adding Double (and then some) to the calculations. That particular issue has been resolved, but maybe there is still a problem somewhere else?

You misunderstand... there is no bug. And hence, no code posting. I was simply trying to describe what is going on with the calcs and why I thought there might have been a bug.
