This might save me a lot of greif

The client will still override things like base class skills no matter what you have set in the db and code unfortunately.

Thank you KLS,

is there any kind of list that would give me a broader understanding of what the client handles?

Right now I'm most interested in having the paladin use the same combat tables, I would think combat is handled almost in full on the server, but I keep failing at locating where the base to hit, and to hit modifiers are...

any help?

Thanks again.

There's some of that info in the rules_value table like base crit, and things like that... but no break down by class :(

You can give the client things like dodge, parry, riposte, block, etc if you wanted cause it requires no interaction from the client. Things that do the client tends to override, dual wield, backstab, frenzy etc.

You could make a paladin melee exactly the same as a monk, minus special attacks if you wanted to. Would require some changes to the code though.

KLS,

thank you, and I've done exactly that. I modified a lot of the paladin skills that I estimated would not be controlled client side.

He still SUCKS in melee compared to the same level Beastlord BOT (angelox)
I really need to get with Angelox and maybe find out why that is.

One question I do have though is in Skills_cap.cpp there are a bunch of calculations that calculate the 'r' value. I notice from the code it generally does a (level*5) +5 but then goes on to input caps if the toon is below certain levels.

So I've done all the modification to skills in the DATABASE not in the source, I'm wondering if the code if going to override my database.

I'm not leveling crazy fast as I'm buys making merchant lists and working on the low level zones as some of my friends have expressed interest in playing a classic/progression type environment. We're all chipping in for hardware etc. I'm really getting excited about this.
