Starting work on Seeds of Destruction

Ok, the HP/Mana/Endurance formulas are now all as good as I can get them and they are all on the SVN. The HP formula is accurate and at most it will only be off by 1 for certain levels/stats combos. It is always 1 over, so HPs should always show 100% on the client. The Mana and Endurance formulas were more complicated for certain Level/Stats combinations. I was able to get them accurate up to level 60 for any stat value, and up to level 80 for stats under 200. But, if you are 60+ and have over 200+ stats, some combos will have 7 to 15ish more mana on the server-side than what the client shows. I am sure it is just missing some minor detail or needing to round something that it isn't, but I tried and tried and couldn't get them 100% accurate for every combo. At least they are very close and by the time it starts being off at all, the number of mana/endurance added won't even be barely noticeable. When the Mana/End formulas are off, it is always higher on the server-side, so players will always still be able to have 100% showing on their UI, which was my main goal.

Maybe at some point, I will try to look into the Mana/End formulas again and get them fixed, but it probably wouldn't happen any time soon. Since they are on the SVN now, if anyone wants to test them out and play with the formulas to see if they can figure it out, please do! I will be happy to answer any questions I can if someone else wants to give a shot at making them closer to 100% accurate. Though, for now, I think they are definitely good enough, even if they never got messed with again.

I also set the default size of NPCs to 6, so if they are set to 0 in the DB, they will now be set to 6. This is because SOE added in default sizes for many races, when in the past, their default size was 6. So, without this fix, you would see some NPCs that are not the size you may have seen them as in previous clients.

Now, to figure out what I am going to work on next. I am probably going to look into a few more of the bug reports and see if I can get those resolved. There isn't really a ton of work left to do to complete SoD, and that rocks

lol, I just compiled the source this morning and log on my ogre sk and I noticed he's smaller than previously which is fine with me. He ducked alot when trying to move around and about and small tight quarters. but when I got my bots out my gnome enchanter bot is about as big as my orge sk which looks funny. all the bots and my character is about the same height.

LMAO, I didn't think about that. I will have to set it so it doesn't do that for player races. Will do that later if someone else doesn't beat me to it. Thanks for reporting that.
