Pride's ASM Thread (MP Switch overflow damages HP)

[Pride]

>_>'

[Choto]

Hey pride, thanks for the existing hacks, they are awesome. I was wondering if this was a possibility - making there be a "chance to break" on the mighty swordskills instead of it being guaranteed?

[Pride]

Faith adds a constant value, so it mirrors Xif's Fury asm. Change the bold 23 into which ever number you would like to use as a constant (in hex of course). Defaulted is 0x23 (or 35 in dec).

EX. (Damage * (Attacker's Faith + 35) * (Defender's Faith + 35)) / 10000

I'm looking into bundling Mist and Regen into a single status.  (Aka, have Regen fill both 1/8th HP and 1/8th MP.)  Is there an easy way to do this?  I read the thread, but it looks like merely setting Mist to reference the Regen status will cause the old effect of Regen to not apply, when I still need it to.  Any way around this without doing something retarded like giving up a second Status?  I need Wall, Innocent, Reflect, etc, so I can't just make them two separate statuses that are applied simultaneously. 

[Pride]

Without testing, it looks like you can do it just fine. I know it will not display correctly (probably will only display the HP regain) but I don't see why it won't work.

[Rfh]

Pride, can you do that the wall status recover 1/10 of MP instead of 1/4? If the hack is in blank status, much better.

[Pickle Girl Fanboy]

Is blank status used?

[Pride]

Pride, can you do that the wall status recover 1/10 of MP instead of 1/4? If the hack is in blank status, much better.

1/10 would make me rewrite the hack, 1/8 or 1/16 can be done with just changing a single line.

You want it over the black status right above crystal? Or do you want it to always trigger without a status?

Well, recover 1/8 is good. If it is possible, that every single unit recover 1/8 Mp without a status.

Thank you very much!! You are a really expert!!

EDIT: Your ASM has a problem, regen override the mp recovery.

[Pride]

It doesn't; it just won't display the mp recovery. That was the first thing I checked.

[RavenOfRazgriz]

Hey Pride, would you be able to make an inverted version of Mist as well?  (As in, damages 1/8th MP per turn.)  I'd like to toss that on Poison to add some parity with Regen healing 1/8th MP, and you seem to be the best man for the job given you've already coded the inverse.  :p

[Pride]

I need to organize my section of battle.bin badly =P

[RavenOfRazgriz]

You do.  Here's a little help.

[Pride]

Fixed my error in my weapon proc hack. download the new spreadsheet on the op.

MP Switch Overflow damages HP
Any excess damage from MP Switch no longer goes to waste. It will damage the target's HP if there is any excess.
EX: Attacker deals 150 damage, Defender has 50 MP. The Defender would lose 50 MP (all of it) then receive 100 Damage.

Oh, damn! Cheers, mate! That's a huge improvement.

Thinking on it, do you think you could mod this further or make another hack that takes a set amount of MP per 1 HP of damage absorbed. Something like this:

Attacker deals 100 damage, Defender has 50 MP. If absorption rate is set to 2 to 1, the defender expends all their MP to absorb 25 damage and overflow causes the remaining 75 damage.

This could be a good way to further balance a reaction skill that is largely considered broken.

That makes it worthless honestly, Vanya.

As it stands, I couldn't see myself using MP Switch with overflow because that by itself is largely worthless.  It basically means you block one hit.  You know what else helps you block one hit?  Abandon.  A Shield.  Etc.  It's like the crappy version of Protect/Shell as a Reaction ability as it stands with overflowing, I couldn't imagine making it worse.

EDIT: If anything, I'd want to be able to make 2 HP = 1 MP, or 3 HP = 2 MP, so if Pride were going to add that functionality, the only way I could see justifying it is if he made it XX HP = YY MP conversion.  Then it's at least total freedom to make MP Switch's exchange whatever you want.
