1.10s Venom questions

[Ruvanal]

Has the use of those two files changed in 1.10? (I have not looked at all at 1.10). It used to work as follow when the game set up a missile:

If there was a skill mentioned in the "skill" column, use damage data from that skill in skill.txt, otherwise use damage data from missile.txt

Yes, you are right the "skill" column is still being used in part to set up getting the damage data from the skills.txt file. But it is also possibile to set up missiles that have that field blank and can still fetch some the data for setting up the damage from the skills.txt file also. The changes to these two files is rather large. Both files have greatly increased in size and there are a lot of 'errors' in them on how the skills and missiles are set up.

In the case of Strafe and Multishot, they are both calling the same two missile records in missiles.txt. This is causing the The damage enhancements of Strafe to be ignored and instead just uses Multishot's 3/4 damage instead (revised version of it).
