correct

It sure was in pvp

animations may be different but nothing has changed about the core of the game

except reflect damage
and throw on left click
and gambling (at least in classic)
and char-to-char/char-to-npc/char-to-object collision

...

HOLY SHIT DONT TALK ABOUT CHAR COLISION.

Sry.

Lmao

Has anyone tested to see if damage is being applied at these new faster breakpoints or if it just an animation speed glitch?

in offline its definitely applying damage, leeching life and doing whatever effects (cast teleport, lay traps) at the higher breakpoints
its not so easy to test to make 100% sure it works the same on servers

What damage could even apply at 2 frame? Wasn't it the case that certain kinds of damage couldn't be applied below 4 frame?

Edit: sorry just realized I am in the same thread, someone sent me a couple of links earlier.



It would be difficult to push something like fireclaws there anyway with the limited availability of possible items.

If someone can edit the d2ias calc and remove frame cap we could maybe see what ias/oais combos could work.

Or if someone just has the formulas I could maybe do the math?

Yes, the old testing showed LoD had issues with frame handling where handler/client calculated some attack frames, mostly druid shapeshifting skills using 40-S3-H2H animation (rabies, hunger) at different intervals, so every other attack would whiff even though it showed you attacking fast
that doesn't appear to be the case in d2r with these attack frames, you can see a steady drain in monster HP with 95% chance to hit attacks, but I've only tested that offline not online, but its clearly not the same as offline LoD

its also a likely explanation for how this got screwed up in the first place, there were clearly at least two different ways animations were being calculated in the old client.


well for the normal animations- not sure about wereskills- the formula is pretty simple, you convert IAS to EIAS using floor((120*IAS)/(120+IAS)), then you sum up EIAS modifiers and plug it into the animation formula simplified as
total frames = ceiling(framesperdirection/(1+EIAS)/(animationspeed/256)-1)

the reason animations in d2 always subtract 1 frame is because they were all made with 1 extra looped frame of animation, a 16 frame animation is actually a 15 frame animation with frame #1 = frame #16. idk why, I think there was some reason for that


the real bugger of an issue is finding maps of which character/animation you're looking at because its all stored as obtuse 2 character names;
https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Animation

Amazon = AM
Necro = NE
Barbarian = BA
Sorceress = SO
Paladin = PA
Assassin = AI
Druid = DZ
Werewolf = 40
Werebear = TG

then there's the modes
A1 = normal attack variation 1
A2 = normal attack variation 2
WL = Walk
RN = Run
GH = Hit recovery
NU = Idle (neutral)
DT = Death
TN = Idle in town (town neutral)
TW = Walk in town
BL = Block
SC = Cast
TH = Throw
KK = Kick
S1/2/3/4 = Special skill 1/2/3/4
DD = Corpse

and weapon classes pretty self-explanatory (1/2 hand, thrust/swing/jab, HT1/2 for sin claws, H2H unarmed, STF for staff, bow/xbw)

Has anyone tried to see if Zeal can hit 3 frame with possible items?
