Also.... I'm using Visual C++, is that a good editor for the Source changes?.. Seems like i cant get any new spells to implement for now.. dunno... can anyone varify that Visual works? Heres a example..after i build it.. it says when i run it it cannot find FlameBall(as a example i used FlameBall)

ch_ret spell_flameball( int sn, int level, CHAR_DATA *ch, void *vo )
{
CHAR_DATA *victim = (CHAR_DATA *) vo;
int dam;

dam = dice(6, 8);
if ( saves_spell_staff( level, victim ) )
dam /= 2;
return damage( ch, victim, dam, sn );
}

The thing is.. its same as flamestrike.. but when i use it.. the smaug doesnt get it for some reason, says connot find spell_flameball...

Did you compile it after making the changes? Did you put the resulting .exe file into the appropriate directory?

Here's an example of a snippet from the code for Spectral Furor:


level = UMAX(0, level);
level = UMIN(18, level);
dam = 1.3*(level*number_range( 1, 7 )+9);

So if I'm understanding your question correctly, you'll just want to tailor your code using the above as an example. You'll just need to pull out a calculator to get the range you need.

As a general rule of thumb (say for designing a mob) damage is figured out by the formula:

(number of dice) * (dice size) + number

So 2d6+10 will set the damage from 12-22

Hope that helps
