Hello all, I'm relatively new to the rAthena scene, and I'm looking to learn more about the inner workings of the game and eventually how to pump out my own custom scripts and modifications. For reference sake I plan on working with pre-renewal primarily in case this is important information.
For the time being I've been wondering how to work with skills. For instance if I look at a skill like Envenom...
Where is element determined and how can I change that?
Where is the poison status proc determined and how can I change that status rate?
How do I work with skill damage, sp cost, cast times, delays, etc.
Although I do know that in rathena/db there's a file called skill_damage_db for skill damage, but I'd like to know where I could find the raw script anyways just in case or if there's more and/or preferred ways to edit outside of skill_damage_db.
I ask these things for a couple reasons, first I tried looking at the source and other available files, but I found it pretty confusing to locate where skills are exactly and what does what. Second, I was using the rAthena wiki before this thread, and it would almost seem as if it's no longer accessible? (404 error) and when I use the wiki available in the docs section at the top I found that a lot of sections were incomplete (if I click on scripting it brings me to a 404) so I'm under the assumption a transfer is currently being place. I didn't know where else to learn about these things except for directly on the forums as a result. Just thought I'd ask on the forums so that way I have a better understanding on where some things are for the future. Thanks for your support.
