Sharp Shooting not criting

[darkdrey]

Hey, everyone!

I`m using the most up-to-date rAthena emulator from GitHub.

Client: 2022-04-06

Mode: Pre-renewal

Both `SN_SHARPSHOOTING` and `MA_SHARPSHOOTING` are set with the `Critical: true` flag in the `skill_db.yml` file.

I didn't change anything in `battle.cpp` or `battle.hpp`. 

 
This is with 4 Critical

Spoiler

 

And this is with 104 Critical

Spoiler

104 Crticial with 3 Paper Cards

Spoiler

 

Thank you very much for your help!

Sharp Shooting is a special case. It just deals fake critical damage, which only ignores DEF/FLEE but does not actually count as critical damage. So it neither deals max damage nor is increased by "The Paper" card.

Try to test against a monster with very high DEF or FLEE, there you will see the difference.

This is official behavior.

Hello, I’m with the same "problem", tested against monsters with def/ flee high and no change using the Paper Card, I entered a server that seems to have the oldest emulator and I can easily notice the difference using Paper Card and not using. If so, is there any way to return functionality as in the old emulators?

If you really want to restore that bug you can probably just remove the fix for it:

			if (skill_id == SN_SHARPSHOOTING || skill_id == MA_SHARPSHOOTING)
				bflag &= ~(BDMG_CRIT); // Sharpshooting just ignores DEF/FLEE but damage is like a normal attack
