Update of /home/cvs/CVS/crossfire/include
In directory boltzmann.eecs.berkeley.edu:/tmp/cvs-serv32470/include
Modified Files:
config.h global.h
Log Message:
include/config.h, include/global.h, common/init.c, common/living.c,
server/init.c, server/player.c, server/skill_util.c: Add permanent
experience and balanced stat loss features (code by Garth Denley).
Permanent experience make some experience in the skills permanent. Balance
stat loss makes stat loss less likely/costly at low level and more costly
at higher levels. These features are by default off, but can be turned
on either in the config.h file or via command line options. Code checked
in by MSW 8/1/2000

+/* Use balanced stat loss code?
+ * This code is a little more merciful with repeated stat loss at lower
+ * levels. Basically, the more stats you have lost, the less likely that
+ * you will lose more. Additionally, lower level characters are shown
+ * a lot more mercy (there are caps on how much of a stat you can lose too).
+ * On the nasty side, if you are higher level, you can lose mutiple stats
+ * _at_once_ and are shown less mercy when you die. But when you're higher
+ * level, it is much easier to buy back your stats with potions.
+ * Turn this on if you want death-based stat loss to be more merciful
+ * at low levels and more cruel at high levels.
+ * Only works when stats are depleted rather than lost. This option has
+ * no effect if you are using genuine stat loss.
+ *
+ * The BALSL_.. values control this behaviour.
+ * BALSL_NUMBER_LOSSES_RATIO determines the number of stats to lose.
+ * the character level is divided by that value, and that is how many
+ * stats are lost.
+ *
+ * BALSL_MAX_LOSS_RATIO puts the upper limit on depletion of a stat -
+ * basically, level/max_loss_ratio is the most a stat can be depleted.
+ *
+ * BALSL_LOSS_CHANCE_RATIO controls how likely it is a stat is depleted.
+ * The chance not to lose a stat is
+ * depleteness^2 / (depletedness^2+ level/ratio).
+ * ie, if the stats current depleted value is 2 and the character is level
+ * 15, the chance not to lose the stat is 4/(4+3) or 4/7. The higher the
+ * level, the more likely it is a stat can get really depleted, but
+ * this gets more offset as the stat gets more depleted.

+/* Use permanent experience code?
+ * This code allows players to build up a small amount of 'permanent
+ * experience' which reduces the effect of large experience drains, such as
+ * death. This makes multiple frequent deaths less devastating, and also
+ * ensures that any character will make some gradual progress even if they
+ * die all of the time.
+ * A nice option if your keep dying due to massive client/server lags despite
+ * playing well... or you like to swim well outside of your depth. :)
+ *
+ * The PERM_EXP values adjust the behaviour of this option - if
+ * USE_PERMAMENT_EXPERIENCE if off, these values have no meaning. If it
+ * is on, the minimum ratio is the minimum amount of permanent exp relative
+ * to the total exp in the skill (ie, at a default of .25, if you had 100
+ * experience, at least 25 of it would be permanent). The gain ratio
+ * is how much of experienced experience goes to the permanent value.
+ * This does not detract from total exp gain (ie, if you gained 100 exp,
+ * 100 would go to the skill total and 10 to the permanent value).
+ * the loss ratio is the maximum amount of experience that can be lost
+ * in any one hit - this is calculated as total exp - perm exp * loss ratio.
+ *
+ * A few thoughts on these default value (by MSW)
+ * gain ratio is pretty much meaningless until exp has been lost, as until
+ * that poin, the minimum ratio will be used.
+ * It is also impossible for the exp to actually be reduced to the permanent
+ * exp ratio - since the loss ratio is .5, it will just get closer and
+ * closer. However, after about half a dozen hits, pretty much all the
+ * exp that can be lost has been lost, and after that, only minor loss
+ * will occur.
