Default Hp/Mana Boosters

So I came up with an idea to improve hp/mana of characters without adding another item. My knowledge of coding is very limited but I assume this should be doable.

So basically acquire HP Booster, click it to cast instant spell that loads script that pulls your current unbuffed hp and adds 50 to it permanently. Problem is I have zero idea as to what the code would look like lol. Any insight?

Now that I think about it I believe I know what you mean with custom AA lol, like make 10 ranks of an AA that increases hp/mana by 50 per rank. That is very doable and a nice work around. Would prefer to not use AA points to do this though if possible.

I suspect you may run into issues with the client not accurately displaying if you modify the HP total directly. You may be better off with a script that added a Tribute Benefit.

In fact looking at it, I am not sure a characters max HP/Mana/End are been stored in the Database, I think it may be purely done by calculation.

I believe you may be correct Dag. After consideration I believe Demon has the easiest solution for doing this, just doing it via custom AA. I will continue to look around and see if I can come up with something else before I go that route.

You can make AAs that are "grant only" which are non-purchasable but can be given out via quests (ex. Veteran AAs, OoW MPG group rewards, DoN progression)

Biggest issue is gonna be making sure people have the right dbstr_us.txt file to run on your server, but it sounds like you want to modify stuff a bit, so you're probably willing to distribute them :P
