Reflex 22/07/07 21:46 - I thought that maybe, instead of having to remodel items, or input new items from the beggining of Volucris it may take some time so heres a few thoughts. I came to the conclusion that maybe the first items in game or any item in game could be used but have different stats involved for different levels of that item, different levels could result in distinguishin them by re colouring them or discolouring them ect with corresponding weapon or armor's level of power.
For example: A sword standard is a normal sword with normal damage,
a level 1 sword (sword +1) is (discoloured) with added damage on the stats; and higher characters stat requirement,
a level 2 sword (sword +2) is a different shade again with even more damage and a higher requirement of stat i.e strength agility etc up to any level item of creators choice.
This will give stats an actual meaning to them; plotting what you will require for certain items you pick up and give the creators the ability to use say 4 weapons like Axe Sword Mace and Rapier and turn them into a mass of items (+level) say sword, sword +1, sword +2, sword +3 being distinguished with a distinctive color per level, however as you pick up higher level items the requirements for your character will increase also. Here is my simple solution/formula for creating item(+level)
For Example:
Follow these steps to produce the perfect formula for Item Levels.
NOTE: Collumn '#' is the formula used.
NOTE: Collumn 'Min' is the Minimum damage.
NOTE: Collumn 'Max' is the Maximum damage.

1. Now create an Excel sheet simply inputting all of that data.
2. Create the formula, we remove the level 2 minimum damage and type in that box.
3. Type: =SUM (Cell of Min Level 1)+(formula # next to Level 1 Min)
4. So we have: =SUM 8+0
5. Then replicate this formula to the 9th level.
Finally, the Level 1 Min number should be editable as this does not have any formula in it. This way you can create your own values for minimum and maximum damages. feel free to colour code your tables so you know which are editable and which are not.
Im sorry for the crappy code... havingalot of trouble gettin tables into my posts, havnt got a great knowledge of HTLM, dont laugh!
Any thoughts?
