mod-quickbalance

This module is intended to provide fixed balance adjustments for raids and dungeons (NOT autobalancing).

It creates multiple new tables in the world database:

• mod_quickbalance_modifier_map Allows to define multiplier values for whole maps.
• mod_quickbalance_modifier_creature Allows to define multiplier values for specific creatures (by creature entry). Does override the map value, if one exists (map + creature modifiers do NOT get multiplied with each other)
• mod_quickbalance_modifier_spells Allows to define a damage multiplier for specific spells (by spell id). Does override the map or creature value, if one exists (modifiers do NOT get multiplied with each other)

Both mod_quickbalance_modifier_map and mod_quickbalance_modifier_creature tables share the following common fields:

• Difficulty - The difficulty this modifier should be applied to.
• • 0 = Normal Dungeon / 10 man normal raid
• • 1 = Heroic Dungeon / 25 man normal raid
• • 2 = 10 man heroic raid
• • 3 = 25 man heroic raid
• DamageModifier - All damage received by the player is multiplied by this modifier. So if you want to reduce damage by half, this should be set to 0.5
• HealthModifier - Creature health is multiplied by this modifier
• ManaModifier - Creature mana is multiplied by this modifier
• ArmorModifier - Not implemented yet, placeholder for future updates
• Comment - Not used anywhere in code, just intended for better readability when viewing database rows.

The table mod_quickbalance_modifier_spells currently has the following columns

• Spell - ID of the spell to modify
• DamageModifier - All damage received by the player through this spell is multiplied by this modifier.
• Comment - Not used anywhere in code, just intended for better readability when viewing database rows.

Hot reloading

You can directly reload changes in the mod_quickbalance_modifier_* tables by typing .reload config in game or in the worldserver console.
