There are (were?) arrays for all the damage severity messages for each type (things like "decimates", "mutilates", "destroys" the victim) in const.c, so start there and see if you can follow how that works before tinkering with it. What I basically changed was to add a damage type between "misses" and https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23817#p23817 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 23:43:19 CDT Coding nobody@example.com (GatewaySysop) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23816#p23816 how did you set that up to where it only gets called in immunity cases? and where in fight.c did you stick it? lol https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23816#p23816 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 23:22:08 CDT Coding nobody@example.com (joeyfogas) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23815#p23815 The only issue I really have with a generic message is that you can't readily tell which of your attacks the target is immune to. If I'm dual wielding an axe and a hammer, say slashing and crushing weapons respectively, it would be nice to infer from the messages that one is not effective while the other is, in case I have something else to switch to. Simply telling me that they seem unaffected by my attack is not helpful in that regard, nor is telling me that my attack did damage, but not which https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23815#p23815 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 23:14:57 CDT Coding nobody@example.com (GatewaySysop) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23814#p23814 i'd love to see how you set that up https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23814#p23814 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 22:23:55 CDT Coding nobody@example.com (joeyfogas) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/show-immune-instead-of-miss-4870/&p=23812#p23812 Thanks for the idea guys. This is how mine looks now. A death knight seems unaffected by your attacks. Seeing a movement of a death knight's shoulders, you bring up your weapon parrying its attack.
