[c++][TFS 1.1]Where to remove monster resistances?

[BloodGauntlet]

EDIT: This title is somewhat misleading and you can skip the paragraph below by knowing this is just an inquiry into changing calculations of armor, resistances, and def.

I've dug through players.cpp and combat.cpp, I'm searching for where the formulas that dictate how damage is mitigated by armor and resistances (for players and monsters). I don't pretend to really understand what the hell is happening the game logic in the server is way to complex for me but I just want to rewrite how applied damage is calculated. If anyone could point me to the area in which I could do so. Or crush my dreams and tell me that I have to change many areas of the source to accomplish this.

 

[StreamSide]

what you mean with resistances?
btw, take a look at monsters.cpp

I've updated the original post with a more refined question, seeking assistance!

There is not only one place, there are fureaking thousands of places to calculate damage.

https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/creature.cpp#L841-L893
https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/monster.cpp#L593-L615
https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/blob/master/src/player.cpp#L1920-L1976

etc...

Sorry for the shameless double post, but I started looking over the blockHit methods, the one in creature.cpp is very clear about what's happening for armor, shield, and magic. The others handling items and fields. Does player.cpp and monster.cpp draw from creature.cpp, this is the only place I can find where the actual formulas are at.

your title says c++
But it is possible to rewrite entire damage system/formulas with lua (which means you don't have to compile the source)

 

[BloodGauntlet]

It is, but its way slower, and so much more complicated. You can see in Creature::blockHit for example how armor works in this one line of code:

damage -= uniform_random(armor / 2, armor - (armor % 2 + 1));

way slower? what? loosing 0.01 sec for calculation shouldn't be big deal.
and it is as complicated as you make it to be.
