https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/index.php?a=rssfeed&t=3913 The largest Smaug community resource site. - en SmaugMuds 60 https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16542#p16542 I think reading too much into this might not be very productive; I'm guessing that people just tweaked the numbers until they were satisfied. It might be worth drawing the equation with a graphing program of some kind to see how the base xp varies with the parameters. But I would not try to find the "greater meaning" or some masterminded plan in those numbers. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16542#p16542 Fri, 2 Jan 2009 08:26:23 CST Building nobody@example.com (David Haley) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16536#p16536 Well, I mean, from where appear those numbers? why is level*level*level and no level*level? or why is *50 and not *10? what system have been used to calibrate the amount of experience a mob will give? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16536#p16536 Thu, 1 Jan 2009 12:20:00 CST Building nobody@example.com (Samsa) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16535#p16535 What do you mean designed? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16535#p16535 Thu, 1 Jan 2009 11:43:23 CST Building nobody@example.com (InfiniteAxis) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16534#p16534 I'm looking for a way to help balancing mobs in our mud. Following Herne's Smaug building guide, I came to this formula, that is used to calculate a base for the exp that a mob can give: level*level*level*5 + maxhitpoints - (ac-50)*2 + ((damnum*damsize+damroll) *50) + Hitroll*level*10 Does anyone know how this formula is designed? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/experience-formula-3913/&p=16534#p16534 Thu, 1 Jan 2009 11:17:20 CST Building nobody@example.com (Samsa)
