resistance field in eff structs

[Avenger]

This misinformation kept me hanging for years, but i think it is time to reach consensus.

 

Resistance

 

* 0=Nonmagical

* 1=Dispel/Not Bypass

* 2=Not Dispel/Not Bypass <---- i think this one isn't good. Resistance type 2 is also bypassing resistance.

* 3=Dispel/Bypass

 

In Taimon's notes:

resistance:

if (eff.0x058 & 0x2 == 0)

if (cre.res > rand6)

if (eff.0x058 & 0x1)

-> resisted

 

Shows clearly that only resistance = 1 checks creature resistance.

Why don't I get Taimon's notes? WHY?!

 

But yes, the supreme overlord doth confirmeth. You may changeth.

 

[Taimon]

I'm sure I posted this info somewhere in the depths of the forum.

 

Most of the notes are only structure offsets -- not very interesting for you, I guess.

Hehe, i read them before every sleep since i got them

Taking http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=18205 into account, this would seem to simply be:

bit 0: Can be dispelled

bit 1: Ignores resistance

 

?

[devSin]

This is correct, except that Bit 1 is redundant unless Bit 0 is also set (if no bits are set, the behavior is also to ignore resistance).

 

You might be able to just massage its labeling:

Bit 0: Can be dispelled

Bit 1: ... and ignore resistance

 

But it still might not be clear that no bits doesn't mean No dispel/no bypass, but No dispel/bypass.

I would just put:

0=Nonmagical (No Dispel/Bypass)

1=Dispel/No Bypass

2=No Dispel/Bypass

3=Dispel/Bypass

Assuming that's essentially correct.

[devSin]

Except for that "nonmagical" nonsense, that is.

The timing method is a word. 0x1000 means Absolute Duration (the duration field of simple 0 was already converted to gametime+duration*15).

Added, thanks.
