Item making

I have a gut feeling you're going to kick a lot of ass. :P Good luck finding two of them though...

I have a gut feeling you're going to kick a lot of ass. :P Good luck finding two of them though... Is it going to be wishable? If so, *jacked*. :P

Acid shield is, I believe, done -- some of the messages are a little odd and might need some changing though, and it might use a touch of balancing. With two of them I was still able to "kill" everything I met up until UT3, where the plants were immune to the acid. The code: item.dat:


acidshield /*armor ->*/
{
  Possibility = 10;
  DefaultSize = 70;
  StrengthModifier = 165;
  DefaultMainVolume = 350;
  Category = SHIELD;
  FormModifier = 15;
  MainMaterialConfig = { 5, IRON, STEEL, METEORIC_STEEL, ADAMANT, ARCANITE; }
  MaterialConfigChances = { 5, 200, 300, 150, 30, 30; }
  EnchantmentPlusChance = 0;
  AcidResistance = 1;
  NameSingular = "acid shield";
  BitmapPos = 32, 336;
  WeaponCategory = SHIELDS;
  CanBeBroken = true;
  WieldedBitmapPos = 128, 32;
  AttachedGod = SCABIES;
  
  Config BROKEN;
  {
    Possibility = 3;
    DefaultSize = 45;
    FormModifier = 20;
    BitmapPos = 48, 224;
    WieldedBitmapPos = 128, 48;
    MainMaterialConfig = { 6, IRON, STEEL, METEORIC_STEEL, ADAMANT, ARCANITE, MITHRIL; }
    MaterialConfigChances = { 6, 150, 250, 200, 60, 40, 20; }
    EnchantmentPlusChance = 1;
  }
}

gear.h:


ITEM(acidshield, armor)
{
 public:
  virtual truth IsShield(const character*) const { return true; }
  virtual void BlockEffect(character*, character*, item*, int Type);
};

item.h (under class item : public object):


virtual void BlockEffect(character*, character*, item*, int type) { }

char.h (under function int character::CheckForBlockWithArm(...)):


Blocker->BlockEffect(this, Enemy, Weapon, Type);

gear.cpp:


void acidshield::BlockEffect(character* Blocker, character* Attacker, item* Weapon, int Type) //Working on
{ 
	int CheckAttackType = 0;
	if(!IsBroken())
	{
		if(RAND() % 5000 == 17)
		{
			Weapon->SpillFluid(Blocker, liquid::Spawn(SULPHURIC_ACID, 200 + RAND() % 51));
			ADD_MESSAGE("%s is completely doused in sulpheric acid!", Attacker->CHAR_DESCRIPTION(DEFINITE));
		}
		else
		{
			if(Type == WEAPON_ATTACK)
			{
				Weapon->SpillFluid(Blocker, liquid::Spawn(SULPHURIC_ACID, 20 + RAND() % 41));
				ADD_MESSAGE("%s weapon is splashed with acid from the shield!", Attacker->CHAR_POSSESSIVE_PRONOUN);
			}
			else
				CheckAttackType = 1;
			if(RAND() % 5 == 0 && CheckAttackType == 0)
			{
				Attacker->SpillFluid(Blocker, liquid::Spawn(SULPHURIC_ACID, 5 + RAND() % 11));
				ADD_MESSAGE("%s is also splashed with acid!", Attacker->CHAR_DESCRIPTION(DEFINITE));
			}
			if(CheckAttackType == 1)
			{
				Attacker->SpillFluid(Blocker, liquid::Spawn(SULPHURIC_ACID, 25 + RAND() % 26));
				ADD_MESSAGE("%s is splashed with acid from the shield!", Attacker->CHAR_DESCRIPTION(DEFINITE));
			}
		}
	}
}

I also coded another item really quick: in item.dat (under AMULET):


Config AMULET_OF_WARDING;
  {
    Possibility = 4;
    PostFix = "of elemental protection";
    MainMaterialConfig == ILLITHIUM;
    CanBeCloned = false;
    Price = 4000;
    AttachedGod = LEGIFER;
    FireResistance = 30;
    ElectricityResistance = 30;
    AcidResistance = 5;
    PoisonResistance = 5;
  }

Speaking of item creation... Has anyone else noticed or run into trouble with the fact that enchantments and/or "stat upping" doesn't work on Amulets? :x I think I'm gonna code in a new item definition that will allow it to add a set amount of stats without being based off of enchantment levels or anything like that. If anyone else would be interested, I can post the code here. (If you're wondering, I need to add it for the emblems in my forging system)

Oh, I forgot: on my amulet of warding, you need to add it to define.dat. You don't need to add the acid shield, however.

Fallen one, I say post every scrap of code that you add or change (as long as t works :wink:) You never know when someone will find it useful or inspiring. Do resistances from amulets even work right now? I know that rings and cloaks work, but I don't think all equipment is checked for resistances currently.

I kinda doubt it. Most stuff is only coded to work for things that it was intended to be on.

Well if it doesn't then my amulets pretty useless. Maybe it should be a ring. You get the idea behind it though: basically an uber-powered resistance ring, super rare, and really powerful. I'm sure you can write your own resistance ring. It's not terribly complex to code in simple items like that...

Okay I integrated most of Atomic's code last night and added it to CVS. I didn't really have time to test it, but I'll try to do that too at some point... So far looks great!
