min damage=((str/4)+(dex/4)) + (boot_mindamage*str*StrBonus/100)/100

Huh. First off, that looks like to many '/100's. So probably you meant(?):

min damage=((str/4)+(dex/4)) + (boot_mindamage*str*StrBonus)/100

But is the boot damage only used with the strength modifier? I would've expected the boots to be like a weapon, which gives it's base damage plus it's base damage times the str mod. I.e. like this:

min damage=((str/4)+(dex/4)) + (boot_mindamage*(100+str*StrBonus))/100

So I just want to clarify that that last formula is NOT correct?

- Dagni

Ok, I went and took a closer look. Dagni your formula will yield much too high a value if you bother to try out some sample numbers. But your formula was closer.

After looking in more detail at what is displayed on the Lying Character Screen, the damage would appear to be

min damage=((str/4)+(dex/4))skill_effect_modifiers + (boot_mindamage*(100+str)*StrBonus/100)/100

Similar for the max damage.

Yes Dagni, a double division by 100 or the numbers will be off.

I would still suggest that someone take some time to actually test what the damage output really is in a modded game. I have already seen a couple of spots where the wrong formulas were being used to generate the data displayed to the player. The worst so far is the life of the necroskeletons and necromages; The displayed life is far too low for what the game is actually using.
