Imzogelmo's Propsal for FF1 item data template

Oh, right. 'derived'. I wasn't sure what you meant.

D = [S/2] for Fi/Kn/Wm/Wz/Th/Ni/Rm/Rz
= [(S+1)/2] for Bm/Bz/(armed Bb/Ma)*
= LV x 2 for unarmed Bb/Ma

*BUG: Immedately after a level up, D for an armed Bb/Ma is instead [S/2]+1.
this is an actual effect and does not correct itself until you visit
the weapons subscreen. It even persists if you save and reload the
game

H% = (initial value at LV 1) + (3 x (LV-1)) for Fi/Kn/Bb/Ma
= (initial value at LV 1) + (2 x (LV-1)) for Th/Ni/Rm/Rz
= (initial value at LV 1) + (LV - 1) for Wm/Wz/Bm/Bz


A = 0 for all classes, except...
= LV for a bare Bb/Ma*

*BUG: Immediately after a level up, A for an armored Bb/Ma is instead equal
to LV, regardless of whatever armor is being worn. This is an actual
effect and does not correct itself until you visit the armor
subscreen. It even persists if you save and reload the game. This
bug does not affect special abilities granted by the armor you have
on, such as resistances to certain elements

E% = G + 48% for all classes

So basically characters in ff1 have 0 (except 48 evade) in these (all) stats the whole game, which are only increased temporarily by equipment and buffs. Wouldn't we just handle it in the exact same way then?

...for instance the get methods for evade could be:

int get_base_evade() {
  return stats[EVADE] + agility; //stats.evade could always be 48 here.
}

int get_evade() {
  int mod1 = equipment.modifiers.stat[EVADE];
  int mod2 = buffs.modifiers.stat[EVADE];
  int e =  base_evade + mod1 + mod2;
  return e;
}

(side thought) ..dereferencing things can get more verbose than I had thought.

Well, D is "damage" which is the base for attacks. It's not 0, it's Str/2 for all but Bb/Ma; and for the Bb/Ma it depends on if he's armed or not.
H% (hit percent) actually has an initial value whcih depends on class, and each class uses one of 3 formulas (the only thing the formulas need are the level though)
A "absorb" is 0 unless talking about an unarmed Bb/Ma; in which case it is his level.
E% is just agility plus 48.

Of course all of this is before equipment is applied.


That reminds me... level up data. We'll need some type of standard 'chunk' of data for that as well. We'll need an array of these chunks for each class (although they could use the same one, if desired), one entry per level.
