YACQ: yet another code question

will_asher · January 29, 2009, 01:26

I'm looking in the code (v3.0.8 because that's what DaJAngband is based on) about melee damage. For DaJAngband, I want to make very light weapons have no strength bonus to damage, and very heavy weapons have extra strength bonus (to compensate a little bit for multiple blows with light weapons). Anyway, looking in the code, it doesn't look like there is any strength bonus to damage. Is this correct or am I just missing something in the code?
(I'm looking in cmd1.c, should I be looking somewhere else?)

I always thought that there was a strength bonus to melee damage.

The code in question will be in xtra1.c:calc_bonuses(). In particular, the line "p_ptr->to_d += ((int)(adj_str_td[p_ptr->stat_ind[A_STR]]) - 128);".

there it is, thanks
the way stats are done in the code is pretty complicated because of all that non-linear 18/xx stuff.
