Its actually the correct number but shouldn't show the spellcasting.

Its actually the correct number but shouldn't show the spellcasting.

Correct number? What does that 533 apply to? And why does it change from one minute to the next? None of my other mystics have a number there or spellcasting there.

[The Crazy Animal]

It applies to always passing spellcasting checks on mystic spells. In mmud you just wouldn't see the number. As for changing one minute to the next it shouldn't change unless a change happens to your character... equipping or unequipping gear for instance. (The way WCC coded KAI in was with a static and very high number for spellcasting as long as that number is over 500 mystic powers work correctly.) Leaving the spellcasting number in is just our way of making sure we can see that it is still working right. Its purely there for beta purposes and will go away at some point in the future..

Futher explanation if you care to read more:

In greatermud when we coded the magic we only coded the basics in as far as setting up new magic types. This means at the moment it just doesn't have the extra code to make those fields not show on the stat page, and renaming the mana field isn't possible. When we finish with it the system should let a content designer create new custom magic types without the need to hard code anything. (Which was on of mmuds big limitations). For example change the mana field to say KAI or PSY or blood or combat or just about anything else... Set the regen rate for the points, point gain per level, and what stats to use in calculating spellcasting.

This at some point will allow us to make new unique classes that mmud probably never would have had the time to actually code and also allow others to edit new classes into their games the way they want to have them. Building a mmud clone is really only the first part of this project the second part is about taking the game engine to where it should have been by this time in its history... So were also looking to fix and improve on many of the aspects of gameplay and game creation..

Thank you for explaining this! The information is much appreciated.
