Equipment Reorganization Attempt #2

Post by Kage »

After my last post, I realized the error of trying to give stats to equipment manually. In that it will never be balanced.

Instead I am going to try a different approach.

I am working on a formula (which is rather complex ATM) that can balance items.

I am writing a program that will be able to generate item stats by the class, slot, min. level, and bonus (to account for rareness and attainability).

Will post more details later.

Good idea Kage,

It will help a lot of people if you manage to implement something like this.

Best regards.

You've programmed a C program for this? I would have just created a spreadsheet.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

C++...

And I hope that I will be able to make it be able to auto update ea's itemdb.txt file with item information eventually.

Hi Kage,

This tool could be useful for ManaServ's too if adapted.

Best regards.
