Making mobs stronger at certain player level

[Sedrika]

Go to AttackArbiter.cpp and search for

int CAttackArbiter::OnDamageMsgW()

and add this

#ifdef __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH
	if( m_pAttacker->IsPlayer() && !m_pDefender->IsPlayer() )
	{
		MoverProp* pMoverProp = m_pDefender->GetProp();
		if( pMoverProp )
		{
			int nAddStat = 0;
			if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 150 )
				nAddStat = 10;
			else if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 140 )
				nAddStat = 8;
			//....

			pMoverProp->dwStr += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwSta += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwDex += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwInt += nAddStat;
		}
	}
#endif // __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH

below this

	ATTACK_INFO info;
	info.dwAtkFlags = m_dwAtkFlags;
	info.pAttacker  = m_pAttacker;
	info.pDefender  = m_pDefender;
	info.nParam     = m_nParam;
	info.nParts     = PARTS_RWEAPON;

and define this

__MONSTER_STAT_PUSH

only in WorldServer.

That's all.

Thank you verry much Sedrika.

Will this also have an effect on the Min atk and Max atk and the HP of the mob?

So if i will do this

#ifdef __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH
	if( m_pAttacker->IsPlayer() && !m_pDefender->IsPlayer() )
	{
		MoverProp* pMoverProp = m_pDefender->GetProp();
		if( pMoverProp )
		{
			int nAddStat = 0;
			if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 150 )
				nAddStat = 10;
				nAddAtkMin = 100;
				nAddAtkMax = 100;
				nAddMaxHP = 250;
			else if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 140 )
				nAddStat = 8;
			//....

			pMoverProp->dwStr += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwSta += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwDex += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwInt += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwAtkMax += nAddAtkMax;
			pMoverProp->dwAtkMin += nAddAtkMin;
			pMoverProp->dwAddHp += nAddMaxHP;
		}
	}
#endif // __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH

I'd do it this way.

#ifdef __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH
	if( m_pAttacker->IsPlayer() && !m_pDefender->IsPlayer() )
	{
		MoverProp* pMoverProp = m_pDefender->GetProp();
		if( pMoverProp )
		{
			int nAddStat = 0;
			int nAddAtkMin = 0;
			int nAddAtkMax = 0;
			float nAddMaxHP = 1.0f; // Has to be 1.0f
			if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 150 )
			{
				nAddStat = 10;
				nAddAtkMin = 100;
				nAddAtkMax = 100;
				nAddMaxHP = 2.5f; // 250%
			}
			else if( m_pAttacker->GetLevel() >= 140 )
			{
				nAddStat = 8;
				nAddAtkMin = 80;
				nAddAtkMax = 80;
				nAddMaxHP = 2.0f; // 200%
			}
			//....

			pMoverProp->dwStr += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwSta += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwDex += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwInt += nAddStat;
			pMoverProp->dwAtkMax += nAddAtkMax;
			pMoverProp->dwAtkMin += nAddAtkMin;
			pMoverProp->dwAddHp *= nAddMaxHP;
		}
	}
#endif // __MONSTER_STAT_PUSH

and you'd have a logicial error in the if/else statements for missing { and }.
And you shouldn't use an integer for changing the HP max value. Float values would be better and it is more comfortable.

[raventh1984]

Yes i was aware of that error. What i did was an example.

and i really must say thank you for an excellent explanation on how to do this.

Whats the sense with Modifying the prop? This function is getting called on each attack, so each time the monster attacks it gets stronger and this will not only affect the current boss but any boss until the you restart the worldserver....


Just open AttackArbiter.cpp and chose one of the various functions add the checks and increase the damage by a factor before returning it to the next function. Finding the right one takes less than 5 minutes and if you spend one hour you can completly adjust Critrate/Dmg,Block,Evasion etc. further you can check what kind of monster it is (Behemoth, Kalgas Worm etc.) so you can put different levels at which these grow stronger.
