I'm asking here partially because the wiki says it's been changed after implementation.
Is self-enchanting anything beyond basic trinkets still impossible without hefty substance abuse? What's the current formula (written out mathematically as opposed to the code on the wiki)?
[v0.43] What is the current status of the Enchant skill?

The chance calculations are as follows:
(Enchant + 1/4*Intelligence + 1/8*Luck) - enchantment points * 7.5/enchantment chance mult (3.0 for normal enchantments, 1.5 for constant effect enchantments)
where the skills are player character's, enchantment points should be calculated in exactly the same way as in vanilla, and enchantment chance mults are GMSTs, 3.0 and 0.5 (the former is multiplied by latter if constant chance enchantment is applied) by default.
The original... difficulty... is replicated.
(Enchant + 1/4*Intelligence + 1/8*Luck) - enchantment points * 7.5/enchantment chance mult (3.0 for normal enchantments, 1.5 for constant effect enchantments)
where the skills are player character's, enchantment points should be calculated in exactly the same way as in vanilla, and enchantment chance mults are GMSTs, 3.0 and 0.5 (the former is multiplied by latter if constant chance enchantment is applied) by default.

I needed a moment to realize you weren't saying "Enchant plus one, divided by four, multiplied by intelligence" but were using fractions. So, it'sCapostrophic wrote: ↑01 May 2018, 09:31 The chance calculations are as follows:

Code: Select all
([Enchant skill] + 0.25 * [Intelligence] + 0.125 * [Luck]) - ([Enchantment points used] * 7.5 / 3.0|(3.0 * 0.5))
I know I can modify the enchantment chance multiplier in OpenCS and export it as a mod, but is the rest of the formula hard-coded?

Yeah, it is.but is the rest of the formula hard-coded?
Re: [v0.43] What is the current status of the Enchant skill?
... So far. If I've understood Zini correctly, stuff like this will probably move to be defined in files/modified directly in the CS and exported as mods or something similar, right?
EDIT: Just edited out a comma that might confuse.

Right, AFAIK that was the plan.
Re: [v0.43] What is the current status of the Enchant skill?
The formulas will be moved to scripts and when loading legacy game files (i.e. Morrowind.esm) a suitable script will be injected during the loading process.... So far.
