Changing Max enchanting/spellmaking magnitude

[jirka642]

It's just a plaintext file, so edit it with notepad or notepad++

jirka642 mentions that the file just a xml file, so you need a plain text editor. It is a decade I don't use Windows but at the time there was Notepad that sucked. You can try Notepad2 or my favorite at the time crimson editor.

Edit: we wrote at the same time

I have the POWER! What of multiple spell effects for the same spell/enchantment?

What of multiple spell effects for the same spell/enchantment?

What about them? Just add more of effects from the list on the left...
EDIT: Did you mean like multiple fire effects in one spell? I think that would need some changes in source code...

Yes
EDIT: Typing desired values when you are bartering should lead naturally into typing desired magnitudes, yet it's implementation is lacking.

This one was pretty easy to find. The part of code that checks if you already added same effect you are trying to add is located here: https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/blob/2 ... g.cpp#L641

If you wanted to disable it you would need to comment out lines 641-648 in "apps/openmw/mwgui/spellcreationdialog.cpp" and then recompile openmw.

I tested it out and it works correctly. It also looked like both the effects were casted correctly at the same time, so it definitely works.

If you are going to try this, then be warned that this could possibly create some ugly bugs, since some other parts of code could expect that every spell/enchantment have only one of the same type of effect. Someone like Scrawl or Zini would probably need to answer if this is safe, since they have a lot better understanding of codebase then me.

On the other hand, if this "fix" is safe it would be very easy to add option in openmw settings file to enable/disable it without messing with source code.

How do you change the Enchanting formula values? Will wait on the same multiple effect spells till confirmation.

[jirka642]

Do you mean like number of enchantment points enchantment needs in item, price or chance of failure when you are enchanting by yourself?

Enchantment points needed can be modified by changing GMST values "fEnchantmentConstantDurationMult" and "fEffectCostMult".

Price can be changed by changing GMST value "fEnchantmentValueMult".

Chance of failure can be modified by changing GMST values "fEnchantmentChanceMult" and "fEnchantmentConstantChanceMult".

If I understand it correctly, the GMST values should be changeable by plugins.

[PrimordialBronze]

Enchant + (0.25*Int) + (0.125*Luck) - (2.5*Enchantment points)
Enchant + (0.25*Int) + (0.125*Luck) - (5*Enchantment points)

fEnchantmentChanceMult Value = 3
fEnchantmentConstantChanceMult Value = .5

fEnchantmentChanceMult & (2.5*Enchantment points) do these correspond? If so why do the values 3 and 2.5 respectively differ?

[jirka642]

The equations for enchantment chances should be something like this:
Normal enchant chance:
EnchantSkill + (0.25*Int) + (0.125*Luck) - [ 7.5 / fEnchantmentChanceMult * 1.0 * EnchantPoints ]
Constant enchant chance:
EnchantSkill + (0.25*Int) + (0.125*Luck) - [ 7.5 / fEnchantmentChanceMult * fEnchantmentConstantChanceMult * EnchantPoints ]
