CREv1 THAC0

[Magus]

Says "0x0052 1 (byte) THAC0 (1-25)".

 

I'm not sure about these limits. I just tried "-12", and it seemed to work just fine.

Engine?

A Byte's limits are from 0-0xff, which is 255, so... with the understanding that some if not half of that is + while the other is -, and so; ± 126 , not 1-25.

 

Engine?

Every one of them, it doesn't matter. Go and look, for the dragons in BG2(drag***.cre), their Thac0's are on the negative for all of them.

Of course within the game, it really doesn't matter much as having it at -67 has no effect to having it at -27.

I asked because aren't the character stats (STR, INT, etc) hard-limited too? Like, you can expand the relevant 2DAs beyond 25, but the engine won't recognize it.

Default engine - bg2:tob.
