Blow-by-blow fights

Postby Valey » Mon Oct 20, 2003 3:13 pm

I just thought that since I'd moaned about not having these so I never got to see my abilities in action it'd be rude of me not to say:

THANKYOU! Having these back are fascinating. And I finally get to see dodge and backstab and generally be all sneaky.

It will soon be an option. I just restored it since I now have the BW to do so.

me too, a fellow rogue thinks that the fights are great to see all the backstabbing and dodging happen, i can actually see my stats at work now, before i didnt know that i didnt have enough dex, now i know that i still need A LOT more
lets just say that it has been very helpful for me

Yeah , with most of the fights taking over 1 megabyte now, I wouldn't even be able to play this game if I had dial up...

I'm having 1000 round fights now (estimated by my total HP and average HP lost per round)

Maybe instead we could get a display like

Rounds of Battle:
Special Moves: (like heal, backstab, etc.)
Average Damage Taken:
Average Deflected:
Average Damage Dealt:
Average Deflected By Monster:

THat would significantly reduce how long it takes a fight to load,

That would in fact, take less time to load image wise, but more to process for the game. It would have to calculate all of those, which, I am not sure would take alot of time, but then again...I know nothing, NOTHING!!

The server processes much faster than data can be sent over the internet.

Thats why we have 2500 Mhz processers these days and thousands of megabytes of ram, but cable lines still only transfer 100 Mb of info persecond i believe...

I could make those averages with a few changes. Considering the loop already goes through thousands of times, its not much to add a few numbers instead of executing the print commands. I will probably do this for the abbreviated battles when they are put in.

Ya, those would be much greater than the huge amounts of text i'm sent...if i fight two monsters it takes me a few minutes just to figure out at which point the first one died lol
