Re: [Adonthell-devel] charedit update

[Andrew Phillips]

The preliminary version of charedit can be found at 
http://endor.hsutx.edu/~cptlogic/adonthell/04chars/charedit.tar.gz

It is lacks both user and programmer documentation but I can add that very soon. The chars/ directory in the tarball contains examples of both my original file layout and the one more detailed form I just added. The 
maketest.scr file is a script I used to compile charedit, as well as log and display compilation errors.

I'm glad you approve. I wondered for a while how to effectively buff and de-buff characters without running the risk of having low-level spells and abilities completely nerf the target, until a three value system just occurred to me one day.

Under the old system - and we can still do it this way, since the difference between int and float seems negligible for our purposes - the only sensible approach would have been to work by percentages. Now, we can do everything (or almost everything) with integer values.

I'm still working out when to change the multiplier and when to change the modifier, however. My first impulse is to say that low level abilities (rank 1-2) should only shift the modifier, mid-level abilties (rank 3-4) should change the multiplier primarily, and that only rank 5 abilities should be able to change attribute values.
