OUTPUT:

!FCRWait 0
!FCWait 1500

That's wrong is what you're sayin? And the below is wrong?

Well if your using Millisecond mesurements & that 1500 is 1.5 Seconds then yea !FCWait is Wrong.  A 2nd Circle spell Takes 1.25 Seconds to Cast @ 0/6 Casting which is what I specified.  Granted if it's a simple Added Wait time needed for your script to function that's fine, but you didn't really say so..

;fc calced , prot on
SET !FCRWait ( 6 - %1 ) / 4 * 1000
SET !FCWait ( 6 - %2 + %3 ) / 4 * 1000

OUTPUT
!FCRWait = 0
!FCWait = 2000

So.. Call the !FCWait 2 Seconds then...  With 0/6 Casting which is the the same as 2/6 Casting in protection a 2nd circle Magery spell actually takes 1.25 seconds to Cast... Not 2 Seconds...   Anyway... I don't doubt your Subs Function & there acuracy wasn't what I was trying to correct anyway... 

I was simply Trying to clear up some misunderstanding about

1) How protection Functions

2) SC -1 Weapons or Stone Form CANNOT put you below 0 (ZERO) Faster Casting...  0/6 Jewel set with a SC-1 weap & SC -1 Sheild & SToneform (-2 FC) & in protection still leaves you at 0/6 Casting.


  It's not Blue!

You seem to have taken offense Twinkle McNugget,which I didn't intend. 
 
I said This statement was incorrect....

Protection drops you to 0 fc also.  And can go in the - if you have - fc items on.

because the topic of the thread was Fastest Casting / Recovery & Protection does not drop you to ZERO FC for all cases (Chivalry / SW / Necro etc).. Also... & I had just got off of TC to verify that SC-1 items will not reduce you below 0 FC...which is true.

NOW this comment I kinda do take offense to...

Script Said:

Seriously, just take my word for casting.   It's simpler that way.  I am going to request here that ANYONE with anything different to say with regard to casting please back it up with hard figures or printed facts.  This is backed up with the thread where I researched it, and the tons of research I did for 2 scripts I wrote based on the data.

 
I'll just say that I found this pretty condescending, but I've also TESTED & found it to be incorrect.. so I simply figured you'd want to be aware of that (or at least take it upon yourself to RETEST it until your certain etc.. up to you.)

Anyway... a Few points

1)

My understanding is that protection subtracts 2 from the cap, AND ANY -casting items WILL take you below 0.  But there is a server cap of .25 seconds on fc.  So TECHNICALLY you are correct.

  There is indeed a 0.25 Sec Casting Cap.  This means you cannot cast any spell FASTER than 0.25 seconds......but the Negative Faster Casting were talking of INCREASES casting times making them take longer hence the server cap has nothing to do with it.

2) SC-1 weapons are applied BEFORE the cap.  If I have 4/6 Casting items equipped & I then cast protection the casting cap for Chivalry will drop to 2/6.  This is the CAP that's 2/6... NOT what you actually have equipped.  This means that at this point if I put on a SC -1 weapon & a SC -1 Sheild My 4/6 Casting will now have -2 FC applied to it which reduces 4/6 to 2/6... & since I'm currently in protection the CAP for Chivalry is 2/6 & I'm casting as MAX speed.   

3) An easy test...   Have 0/0 Casting on a mage & Time Casting a Harm.  = 1.25 Seconds.    Now Apply a SC-1 Weapon & a SC -1 Sheild. & Recast your HARM...   It's STILL 1.25 Seconds thus SC -1 items cannot reduce you below ZERO...

Anyway... I'm done at this point.  I simply saw the information  & wanted to clear it up some.

Yea I was aware of TM's list handling subs, but haven't looked at them yet.  My Rule of Thumb is I try everything on my own & usually don't DL other's attempts until I start wondering how I could have made mine better.  I've got a few things using some arrays though & I'm sure TM did a better job so I'll take a peek.

If you have 2 checkboxes in a menu is it possible to make it so that checking Box 1 will UNCHECK Box 2

I'm making a short script with a Menu to do specials etc.. and I have it setup so that you simply check your primary or secondary special moves...  Since you can't do both at one time I figured it would be nice to make it so that trying to check both checkboxes @ the same time was impossible..

For example..

If you have Box 1 (primary) checked & you check Box 2 (Secondary) it would then UNCHECK Box 1 and so on...   I realize that you can set menu check to #false which will indeed clear the checkbox but it appears that #menures only remembers the last ACTUAL mouseclick or some such, and even if you reset it to #False it will return #True in #menures bc that was the last "phycial" input?     Anyway running short on time ... Work etc.. but if Anyone is borred enough or already knows lemme know...  If I failed to make it very clear I'll be back later heh..

Thx in Advance.

Twinkle McNugget Said:
 

Maybe what I'm trying to say here is why if you have daamge/honor/tacts/anat/slayer would you waste another item on ANOTHER slayer when you're already at cap?  They do not stack on a DEXER unless you're running a template that has 90 tacts no anat no damage increase.  It would be a waste any other time really.

Why...??  Because knowing EXACTLY how the system functions is my goal..   Building unusual & effective templates is based on understanding the specifics when other's typically don't & is an aspect of the game I'm good @ and enjoy heh.  Also.. as far as I can tell the only things that apply towards the 300% CAP  of what you listed are Honor (100%) & Slayer (200-300%) but everything else is not applied towards that 300%.

Also in reply to Paulonius...

So now considering how this affects my PvM template, say I want to work a spawn  with my whammy/Sampire without casting EoO, provided I am using the appropriate super slayer I am starting with a base 200 out of the max 300.  To make up the last 100 points I need to rely on DI on items and honor - and if I am not on a bushi dexxer I have to do it with DI alone?

I said it above in another post but unless I'm mistaken DAMAGE INCREASE on items (ex.. 40% DI on a sword) DOES NOT count towards the 300% cap.

IF you accept that a specific Slayer weapon (Dragon slayer for example) puts you at the 300%...   Then you should do the same amount of damage using for example a Dragon slayer with say 100% Damage increase (on items) as you would with 0% Damage increase.  This IS NOT the case.   Damage increase upt o 100% will continue to raise the displayed damage in your status bar... and The damage range in your status bar is what the 300% CAP is applied TO...   

Anyway.. this is why PvM Damage increase  & the 300% cap are confusing bc.. everyone says something different. lol  I HAVE tested what I've said though in the past 2 days at least.

Lol... ok Manwinc you just totally confused me heh....

So... I accept that the CAP is 300% for PVM, but how much gives what is where I get confused...
I did some testing last night & for example...

Conjurer Trinket  (200% since it a super slayer ?? )
Undead Slayer Weapon  (200%)
100% Damage Increase on Items

Resulted in hitting a lich for 50 ish....  BUT I then proceeded to cast EEO and my damage jumped up to 84 ish....  I thought I was over the cap with 2 Super Slayers ??

I did notice that Straight up Damage Increase from Items IS NOT factored into the 300% CAP...  Up to 100% Damage increase in items will continue to raise the displayed Damage range in your Status Bar and all the other multipliers are based on that.

Ex...  Dragon Slayer Bow..  ( Should be 300% CAP )  hits for 55 ish in my case with less than 20% Damage Increase.. 
When I added up to 100% Damage increase the Dragon Slayer was hitting for 80+...

Hmm... so Is the following correct?  & If not where am I wrong ??
------------------------------------------------------
1) Super Slayer = 200% (out of 300% CaP)
2) Specific Slayer  300%
3) EEO = 50%
4) Perfection = 100% MAX
5) Crushing Blow = 50%

What's NOT counted towards the 300% CAP

1) Bonuses to Damage from STATS
2) Bonuses to Damage from SKILLS
3) Damage Increase from ITEMS (Aka 40% DI on your weapon etc.)

Some info...

The script doesn't function for ELF characters bc the disguise kit gump is different size than for a human character... (Easily corrected)  The number of hair options for an Elf is also different... 

I've fixxed it for myself but I'm sure if TM gets some time...  his solution will be more elegant..   Anyway just letting people know if they are having probs.

Also.. the corret phrase for joining the theives guild is

NPC-Name Join   
Example the Theif Guildmaster's name is John then I would  say

"John Join"  and do this while standing RIGHT NEXT TO the guildmaster..   He will tell you it's 500 gp cost.

To buy a disguise kit simply stand next to the theif guildmaster and say   "Disguise" and you will be told it's 700gp.

This one's a bit involved:

1> Base Mana Regen Rate is 0.2 mana per second
2> Focus Bonus is Focus / 200 mana per second
3A> Let Meditation Bonus be 0.0075 * Meditation Skill + 0.0025 * Intelligence Attribute
3B> If your Meditation Skill is GM or above, multiple Meditation Bonus by 1.1
3C> If you are actively meditating, multiply Meditation Bonus by 2
4A> Let Base Item Bonus be (Meditation Skill / 2 + Focus Skill / 4) / 90
4B> Multiply Base Item Bonus by 0.65, then add 2.35
4C> Let Intensity Bonus be the square root of the sum of your Mana Regen intensities, capped at 5.5 (30 total intensity).
4D> Let Final Item Bonus be ((Base Item Bonus * Intensity Bonus) - (Base Item Bonus - 1)) / 10. This is mana per second.
5> Add the Base Mana Regen Rate, Focus Bonus, and Item Bonus. Add your Meditation Bonus only if you're not wearing non-meddable armor. The result is your total mana regeneration per second.

Here is an example:

120 Med, 100 Focus, 110 Int, +25 Mana Regen from Items, wearing meddable armor.

Base is 0.2
Focus Bonus is 0.5
Med Bonus is 0.9 from Skill + 0.275 from Int, multiplied by 1.1 from > GM Med = 1.2925 (or 2.585 if actively meditating)
Base Item Bonus is 2.35 + 0.65 * (85 / 90) = 2.964
Intensity Bonus is the square root of 25 = 5
Item Bonus is ((5 * 2.964) - (2.964 - 1)) / 10 = 1.2856

So my total regen rates are:
1> Meddable armor, not meditating: 0.2 + 0.5 + 1.2925 + 1.2856 = 3.2781 per second
2> Meddable armor, meditating: 0.2 + 0.5 + 2.585 + 1.2856 = 4.5706
3> Non-meddable armor: 0.2 + 0.5 + 1.2856 = 1.9856

(Hopefully I didn't mess up the number crunching here)
