By the way, first, I managed to get GetTickCount and such work now. No need to "inlcude" the kernel32.lib (seems done automatically). The problem was that when I tested the other day and added include for winbase.h and windows.h, I foolishly only recompiled the file I had the GetTickCount in, not th...

Re: The 82K limit

The reason for the rollover has been touched in several ways in this thread but lets look at it in more detail. First, lets remember that the game works with damage and life (and mana and a few other things) as signed dwords as allready said meaning we got 31 bits for the value. That is about 2 bill...

Re: Mechanics of charge

Hmm, my question was mostly about the mode status of the player during the charge, and what the game use to move your character arround (not that interested in the "look" of it). Sorry if I was unclear :)

Mechanics of charge

Not really mod related perhaps, but I was still wondering if someone might know (and this seemed like a good place to ask). How exactly does the charge skill work? Especially in regard to the charge part. Will it move your character in "performing a skill" status or will it set up your character to ...

Just a quick question in case anyone know it "by heart" so we don't have to go check :) The main intem creation function (that pick from TC and decide quality and so on), what item does it return a pointer to, the first one of the drop or the last one? I have a faint recollection it should be the fi...

Re: Is it possible to give a monster a permanenet aura...

Just a small note on the "chance" column. If it is blank (zero value) the game skip rolling for the chance and add the property autiomatically (100% chance basicaly). You only need to add the chance if you want something to no be 100%.
