General Discussion

Libido now is a local variable used inside the scene, calculated based on many things, including class, traits and disposition. Creating local, temporary stats based on many different global variables turns out to be a better practice than making everything global.

Do you think you can make an alternative for shaking, when the sprite is slightly thrown back and then returns to its original location? Will be very suitable for evasion.

I can't see why not, how do we handle dodging btw? I never looked at how it was handled, is it passed to gfx methods already?

        def get_attributes_multiplier(self, t, attributes):
            """
            This calculates the multiplier to use with damage.
            """
            multiplier = 1.0
            effects = list()
            a = self.source
            if any(list(i for i in ["melee", "ranged"] if i in attributes)):
                evasion_chance = round (0.5*t.level + t.agility - 0.5*a.level - a.agility)
                if evasion_chance > 0: # evasion
                    if evasion_chance > 90:
                        evasion_chance = 90
                    if dice(evasion_chance):
                        multiplier = 0
                        effects.append("missed_hit")

I want to improve it further after we'll add skills for different types of weapons. For now I compare levels and agilities.

Oki, looks like it's passed, we should add a proper message for that as well. (like battle bounce or some other animation).

Sh!t this is a lot harder than it sounds as we do not have logic setup for this + it needs to replace the damage effect to sprite... I am about half done, gonna take a break.

I know, that's why asked you to do it 
After all, the original battle system doesn't actually support dodging, I did it solely via making zero damage multiplier designed to increase damage for crit hits.

Yey! Looks a lot cooler than I thought it would, this one was definitely worth the effort

Edit:
It'll do for now, we'll have to correct it for the future if we ever add cooler attacks that can be dodged and will require customization. I'll look into revive spell, that's also tricky and fun (but it'll going slow as I had one beer to many )

Remember the lesbian scene for arbitrary characters you wrote?
In order to know if it should be available or not in the menu I need to check somehow if the scene is going on in a building with other female chars, and not anywhere else.

It's been too long since I last dealt with that code, condition with plain True/False for now and leave some comments on what need to be checked exactly...

Oki, we now have a resurrection spell. I reduced the quality of the image but still have the original if this is not good enough. Best effect of today was still dodging

[Xela]

We'll have to review the cost of spells and adapt it to stats system, it should be a lot higher.

[DarkTl]

I know. I made it low to test spells multiple times without mp limitations. Ideally mp should be infinite in the testing mode, or at least there should be means to restore it.

[DarkTl]

That reminds me, we used to support restoring items inside BE. This functionality should be restored somehow.

I don't think that we've ever supported items of any kind, but that would not be too hard to add. What you remembering is the default setup from Jake's BE, which allowed really basic items.

This feels like something we could past the beta release, for now I want to add the thunder (electricity spell) that till work along the same lines as Cataclysm for fire.

Decied to sort 700x gif attacks from marple into folders instead. I'll try to sneak in another spell tonight if I can.
