Skulltrap and Animate Dead fixes

[Ghreyfain]

Everything in here looks so tidy, I didn't want to post in an existing thread.

 

Anyways, Skulltrap's range in the first header is 55, but for every header after that, it's 15. This is within the radius of the blast, so I'm going to go out on a limb and infer that it's meant to be 55 all the time. As a comparison, I believe 55 is the same range a Magic Missile has.

 

Here's the patch:

 

C_E ~SPWI313.spl~ ~override~
 WRITE_BYTE 0xa8 55 // level 6 header
 WRITE_BYTE 0xd0 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0xf6 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x120 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x148 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x170 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x198 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x1c0 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x1e8 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x210 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x238 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x260 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x288 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x2b0 55
 WRITE_BYTE 0x2d8 55 // all the way to level 20

 

Then for Animate Dead, the level 11 header gives a 0-35% chance to summon 1 skeleton, and 46-100 to summon two. This leaves a 10% chance of getting no skeleton at all.

 

The code:

 

C_E ~SPPR301.spl~ ~override~
 WRITE_BYTE 0x2b6 45

 

Fin.

I don't know if all of these are ever used (depending on what level you have to be to get the spell).
