Where do I fix the weapon formulas?

[Zhailzur]

:O I wanted to fix the weapon formulas for my game. I wanted a more general, and easy damage formula, for example...

weapon.atk + str - pdef = damage

skl.efct + int - mdef = damage

;O Is there a place where I can change it and stuff?

I also have another question, how does "Effect Rating" and "Attack" effect the damage in my skills?

Look in Game_Battler and Game_Actor

The methods are scattered.

If you want me to reconfigure the formulas for you, just tell me the exact formulas for whatever, and I will do it for you.

^.^ Really? Thanks. I'm hopeless with scripting...

Well... here goes.

For basic physical damage (using the "Attack" command):
Weapon ATK + STR - Target's Physical Defence = Damage

For physical skills:
Skill ATK power + STR - Target's Physical Defence = Damage

For magical skills:
Skill ATK power + INT - Target's Magical Defence = Damage

;O Are those the correct formulas? :O

In Game_Battler 3, replace:

atk = [attacker.atk - self.pdef / 2, 0].max
self.damage = atk * (20 + attacker.str) / 20

with this:

atk = [attacker.atk + attacker.str - self.pdef, 0].max
self.damage = atk

I can't do the skills, yet, but that's obviously for the actual attack.

Thanks! :D
Now for skills... I'll just have to tinker with it for a while.
