Adding Damage Ranges
Difficulty: 1/5
By: Fear

This is no big life changing tutorial so don't think it is (I doubt you would anyway). But, it does add a nice change to the game, because you don't always do the same damage. You do anywhere from 80% to 100% of it. Everything here is server side. Also, this is my first tutorial so, anythings wrong, I'll fix it.
Step 1:
   Go to ModHandleData and find Sub HandleData. This shouldnt be         hard, because its the only sub.
   Find:


            If Not CanPlayerCriticalHit(Index) Then
            Damage = GetPlayerDamage(Index) - GetPlayerProtection(i)

Replace this with:


            If Not CanPlayerCriticalHit(Index) Then
            n = Int((((GetPlayerDamage(Index) / 5) * 4) * Rnd) + 1)
              If n < (n * 4 / 5) Then

                  n = (n * 4 / 5)

              End If
            Damage = n - GetPlayerProtection(i)

   All the new code does, is randomize possible damage from 80% to   100%, and then subtracts your foes armor from it.
   Simple enough, PvP now has damage ranges.
Step 2:
   This step is very similar to the first one.
   Find:


            If Not CanPlayerCriticalHit(Index) Then
            Damage = GetPlayerDamage(Index) -  
              Int(Npc(MapNpc(GetPlayerMap(Index), i).Num).DEF / 2)

Replace it with:


            If Not CanPlayerCriticalHit(Index) Then
            n = Int((((GetPlayerDamage(Index) / 5) * 4) * Rnd) + 1)
              If n < (n * 4 / 5) Then

                  n = (n * 4 / 5)

              End If
               Damage = n -  
            Int(Npc(MapNpc(GetPlayerMap(Index), n).Num).DEF / 2)

   If you don't understand this, read what I said in step 1, even
    though its not really complex.
   Melee is complete.
    Magic can be achieved the same way, but I can't post it, because     I can't find it

So much to say, but I shall start with this: back off!
