| Code: Weapon DelayThursday, May 31st, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Swing speed has been coded for weapons. For example, we can now make a giant boulder that has a 10 second attack delay or make a dagger with a 2 second attack delay. Small weapons in the newbie areas are being made 2 second delay, while ranged weapons are being made 2 attack 4 second delay. For example, the short bow in the Market Square will have a chance to attack twice (it's not guaranteed 2 swings) every 4 seconds.
Note that we are currently limited to whole number delays (1 second, 2 second). If I can work some coding magic, we'll be able to have tenth of a second delays, although the mud will unfortunately still report this as "Please wait 1 more second." or "Please wait 2 more seconds."
Here's an example of a 2 second delay dagger - a haste spell reduces your swing speed by 1 second.
Highport Market South
You are in the southeastern part of Highport's Market.
A small tent city of sorts has sprung up here, where bands of
travelling gypsies and merchants gather to sell their goods. You
can see a plethora of items to be sold. Soothsayers have tents here
and there about this place where one can get their fortune told.
Most fortunes these days are dark however, what with the rise of
evil in the land. It is only a matter of time.
Obvious exits: north, west.
You see Dominus the Dungeonmaster.
You see four fortune tellers, a gypsy, a half-orc, two shoemakers.
You see 29 gold coins, a leather whip, two scourges, some studded leather gauntlets.

Flippin' Sweet! Nice job Dom!
Question: Do all current weapons have a default swing speed set on them? Or will just the new items, and items "as you go" be changed to swing speeds?
Thanks!

All weapons have a default swing speed of 3 seconds. I'm changing the newbie weapons right now, and hopefully future weapons will contain swing speed and numAttacks; that will depend on the builders. Existing weapons are up for review, if I've got time. Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. |

Man that's a great idea...sure wish I had thought of it too!

It does beg the question: what about dual-wielders, wielding a weapon with one delay, and seconding a weapon with a different delay than the first?

| Re: Code: Weapon DelayThursday, May 31st, 2007 at 4:23 pm
Dual-wielders use the slower of the two weapons. Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. |

I don't know if this still applies to pole arms, but Dom was fun enough to let me and ebon check out some of the new "weapon approach". Which I gotta say was really cool.

Ok, well, it's not everyday you find a short bow, get it enchanted to +1, and placed in the hands of a lvl 25 paladin. With goodness damage processing on every hit (I'd suggest only the first), strength bonuses included (questionable, depending on the number of hits possible), and pray, the results are interesting. Let's not forget, this is a short bow that I got from the market square.
Wielding:
It is a short and stout bow made of wood.
The short bow (+1) is a missile weapon.
It is in pristine condition.
It is weakly enchanted.

As long as I'm prayed and hitting non-blue things, the damage seems to range from about 10-44. That is actually very reasonable, considering, that I'm attacking 1 second slower, and thus would expect around 33% more damage compared to a 3-second weapon. But, from a short bow?

Hey Bane! Hanzo's saying we should nerf paladin damage! Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over. |

Oh noes, not my precious damage! Nerf the short bow! Down with missile!
