Skul, I'm personally in favor of getting rid of i_shield_platemail_bronze type items entirely. You can use functions to achieve the same effect in a more flexible way with fewer defs.

Code:

[FUNCTION f_material_i_ingot_aurichalcum] //aka Orichalcum

tag0.MATERIAL=i_ingot_aurichalcum

tag.basematerial=i_ingot_iron

NAME=aurichalcum <NAME>

COLOR=color_o_aurichalcum

HITPOINTS += <MulDiv <HITPOINTS>,10,100>

tag0.LOWERREQS += 10

IF (<ISARMOR>) || (<TYPE>==t_shield)

    modar += <modar> + <MulDiv <ARMOR.HIGH>,10,100>

    tag0.SKILLBOOST1=MAGICRESISTANCE

    IF (<LAYER>==13) && (<TAG0.COVERARMS>)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=200

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==13) || (<TYPE>==t_shield)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=160

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==4) && (<TAG0.COVERFEET>)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=100

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==4)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=80

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==6) && (<TAG0.COVERNECK>)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=60

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==6) || (<LAYER>==19) || (<LAYER>==7)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=40

    ELSEIF (<LAYER>==10) || (<LAYER>==3)

        tag0.SKILLBOOST1AMT=20

    ENDIF

ELSEIF (<ISWEAPON>)

TAG.SPELL.0=40,41

tag0.DAMINCREASE += 10

ENDIF

tag0.modvalue += (40*<RESOURCES.1.VAL>)

With that and the right crafting menus you can create whole new materials with a few lines of code and no new itemdefs. I have menus that were originally based on modern EA that support this, they could be made EA-like again. If someone can make the old school menu (or a cloned copy) work with this I really think it's the way to go.

RanXerox, weren't you involved in the writing of the combat maneuvers? These I have and they are remarkably EA-like for one of my files Smile

Just need to be made spells since I do think that would be cleaner.

I like Big Ship Combat Smile

I'm for the boss systems since we need the EA stuff. I would like to see it made customizable so we can make up our own boss battle settings.
