Great, glad to share this since no one else ever has. Just make sure you added all of the other changes I mentioned in the thread and you should be all set.

Yes, I know overflow is semantically incorrect, unsigned ints will wrap around. And obvoiusly, if it just wraps around, tries could never bigger than the biggest possible unsigned int. What I didn't understand, but I think I do now thanks to your explanation, is that the program doesn't...

You're right, and it can actually be simplified down even more: In monster.h, in private underneath uint64_t tries = 0;, declare a new variable: float TRIES_INCREASE_FACTOR; Then, in monster.cpp, initialize the new variable in Monster::Monster(MonsterType* mtype), underneath skillTries = 0...

A huge thank you to Evil Hero for pointing out a serious oversight in my coding. Here are the corrections that need to be made to the code so that the skill increase is only affecting each specific, individual monster, and not affecting the skill of the entire MonsterType class. First, in...

I see what you’re saying. Let me do some more testing to see if that’s actually happening, and I’ll update here with what I find and if it needs to be fixed.

A great question. I tested this with prints already to confirm that the stat is only changing for the individual monster. Think of it like any other attribute on a monster, like HP: If you attack one dragon and his attribute "currentHealth" changes, the current health for all dragons does not...

Ohh ok I totally misunderstood you. I thought you were jumping in to explain a separate feature that also increased the defense attribute. You're just saying that the monsters' "skill" should be part of the formulas that determine the monsters defense as well as damage. Yes, that is already...

Great, so it is what I understood, thank you. In that case, NO CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE for Sabrehaven.

Yes, that's what I mean when I said: So, I guess I realized I'm not actually sure when the monster's defense increases. I assumed it increased at the same time that their fist fighting increased, but maybe it increases as the monster takes hits? I guess I'll have to rely on @kay to confirm...

Good point Kay, I totally forgot about defense. I'll write that up and post it here. Also true. For anyone who cares to make theirs as accurate as possible, here are the very few monsters that aren't set at 100, and here is what they are set at: blacksheep 0 chicken 0 dog 0...

In Sabrehaven nothing needs to be changed for that, the distro already includes that function. In TFS 1.5 you would need to either change the minimum creature think interval to allow it to go lower than 1 second, or re-work the function for how the game determines when a monster can cast its...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "double hit." In old Tibia, monsters had no cooldown between spells, that is why a hunter could shoot 2x in a very short period of time. Is this what you mean?

I'm not going to convert this to 0.4. I've never worked with 0.4 and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. A direct copy and paste to 1.5 is not going to work, monster melee attacks are not handled the same way as Nostalrius (combat.cpp). A quick look makes me think it might be handled in...

It's common knowledge at this point that monsters in oldschool Tibia had a melee skill that would actually train and level up as they fought. I've never seen anyone write/share code for this, so I'd like to share mine. This is written for/implemented in Sabrehaven (Nostalrius), but could likely...

I haven't tested what @highsanta suggested, it should work, but it would be really messy to add all of that stuff about declaring local combats. If you want to retain your current script structure without having a whole bunch of different local combats declared, you can make a small source edit...

Pretty straightforward, here is a method to manage condition suppressions in Lua. I have seen this come up before in threads in the past, and it doesn't seem like anyone's posted the answer here and from what I can tell all TFS and TFS-based distros dont come with this. Anyways, here it is: To...

There is definitely something wrong with the invisible condition when it's applied through the monster's XML file in the generic format. I tested some prints in various source files, but I couldn't figure it out. bool ConditionInvisible::startCondition(Creature* creature) { if...

Can't edit my original post, but this is a cleaner version of the final code I posted (bool Combat::CombatHealthFunc): bool Combat::CombatHealthFunc(Creature* caster, Creature* target, const CombatParams& params, CombatDamage* data) { assert(data); CombatDamage damage = *data; if...

You are basically correct in your assessment of what is happening: the two events are occurring in the wrong order. After reviewing the call stack with many prints, here is a solution that I tested and found to be working without any issues: As you pointed out, the area effect from the spell is...

The problem isn't that function, but it is in the same file (player.cpp). The problem is in the "isPartner" bool: bool Player::isPartner(const Player* player) const { // Check if the 'player' is a player or not, if the current player is not in a party, // or if 'player' is the same as...
