Hi all,

I'm currently working on a Nostalrius 7.7 remake, the monsters are not as they should be with shooting spells so id like to go through them all.

For example when fighting a Dragon lord, it hardly used any spells or shots atall. It does the occasional GFB or firebomb, but firewave is really rare.

Here is a copy of the dragon lord file:

I already changed the chance on each of those attack's but it's as if they make no difference atall when changed, Is there anywhere else i can go to edit this as it may be a deeper setting thats affecting this.

Thanks

Just finished trying this code mate, I had to remove the 'staticattack' on line 17 since it didn't recognise it. I also had to edit the meele attack 21 as 'melee attack' is not recognised on here.

Finally i also had to edit line 6 to
XML: 
    <targetstrategy nearest="70" weakest="10" mostdamage="10" health="10" damage="10" random="10"/>
Since it asks for weakest and mostdamage to be able to run.

However with all of these changes and then starting it back up, it still did not run properly, i dropped the attack skill so that all it could hit on me was fire and within 4 minutes I counted 2 firebomb shots and 1 fire wave.

I really have no idea what could be limiting this :/

Try adding
interval="1000"

<attack name="firefield" interval="1000" chance="15" range="7" radius="4" target="1">
<attribute key="shootEffect" value="fire"/>
</attack>

idk if you fixed this, but there was an update to the distro.

the source was using the wrong type of random generator, your need to use uniform_random instead of whatever it's using, which is a weighted random.

github.com

Bug Fixes · Ezzz-dev/Nostalrius@a7a253f

Fixed a small issue related to monsters attacking being too low, the issue was related to TFS function normal_random, special thanks to LooSik at otland, see thread: https://otland.net/threads/nost...

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a Nostalrius 7.7 remake, the monsters are not as they should be with shooting spells so id like to go through them all.

For example when fighting a Dragon lord, it hardly used any spells or shots atall. It does the occasional GFB or firebomb, but firewave is really rare.

I already changed the chance on each of those attack's but it's as if they make no difference atall when changed, Is there anywhere else i can go to edit this as it may be a deeper setting thats affecting this.

Thanks

In fact, the chance is reversed, the closer to 0 it is 100% that casts the magic of the monsters!

It's not a % chance, it's a 1 in X change, where X is the number you specify. for 50% you'd put 2, and so on.

Unless you elaborate, this comment doesn't help.
