Forget about hit chance

Hey people,
I reckon the title says it all; I want to bypass dicerolls -- have hit chance default to 100% and call it a day
This means replacing the formula with a constant and either disposing of the 97% cap or turning it up to a hundred
Now, I happen to be a programmer but I don't think that's even necessary here. This is just tweaking values
So if anyone can tell me which files I want to be looking at, that'd be great
Cheers

Hi Liebranca,
After some searching, my best bet would be

Yeah mods can override most of the combat formula, I added that for InconsolableCellist a while back as he plans to do a combat tuning mod.
I'm really not sure why you would want to remove hit chance completely however, since DF is an RPG and not a action combat game. Success of actions in RPGs should always be based on the character skill, with player making decisions about what actions to take. (e.g. retreat, but at a speed based on character stats) Anyway, you can make it work however you want and should be able to tune damage etc to compensate for 100% hit chances.
An example of overriding one of the formula can be found in the Archaeologists mod on my github.
Code: Select all
// Override default formula
FormulaHelper.formula_1pe_1sk.Add("CalculateEnemyPacification", CalculateEnemyPacification);
private static bool CalculateEnemyPacification(PlayerEntity player, DFCareer.Skills languageSkill)
{
Debug.Log("Pacification override!");
}

Lovely, thank you both. I'll see what I come up with.

There was a mod for morrowind that gave 100% hit chance but made damage variable based on skill.
That would a mix between action and RPG RNG
