How do I change skill and stat gain rates and/or anti-macro?
UPDATED 10/01/03
*DISCLAIMER!!!*
This turtorial was written to demonstrate ways in which skill and stat gain rates can be adjusted, as well as the workings of the anti-macro code. The built-in system is not what everybody wants, so you may find this guide useful when attemting to adjust individual skills or overall gain rates. The methods that are explained here may not be what you want on your shard, but it should give you an idea of how to adjust things to your own liking.
Before attemting anything in this tutorial, you should be slightly familiar with C# programming techniques.
Almost all skill and statgain calcualtion are handled by a file called "skillcheck.cs" in the \runuo\scripts\misc folder. It is my suggestion that you save this file to your \custom\misc folder once you have edited it, so that it's easier to deal with during beta upgrades.
I've included the skillcheck.cs that I currently run on my server. I have gone through it and added several lines of commented code. (denoted by the // marks) I've also made several modifications that make skillgain work the way I want it to work. By reading through the comments in the scirpt, you may gain some insight into how you can modify skillcheck.cs to work the way YOU want it to work. Please note... the debugging lines that were added that look like this:
[code:1]
//from.SendMessage( 0x35, "TOTAL Skills Base GC is {0}", gc ); // Debugging
[/code:1]
By uncommenting those lines, you can see ingame what the actual values of the variables are that control the gain system. Using those will allow you to adjust the system to use precisely what numbers you want it to.
Good luck, and feel free to post whatver questions or concerns you have regarding this script in the script discussion forum.

The following are some specific examples. With each, experiment until you find what you like.
1. Skillgain is too hard! I want to make all skills easier to gain.
In the script, search for
[code:1]
gc += ( 1.0 - chance ) * ( success ? 0.5 : 0.2 );
gc /= 2;
[/code:1]
That gc /= 2; is what you're interested in. That cuts your chance to gain in half. Try replacing the 2 with other numbers like:
[code:1]
gc /= 1;//Gainchance divided by 1
[/code:1]
or
[code:1]
gc /= .5;//Gainchance divided by .5 (gainchance multiplied by 2)
[/code:1]
2. Skillgain is too easy! I want to make all skills harder to gain.
As in the above example, search the script for:
[code:1]
gc += ( 1.0 - chance ) * ( success ? 0.5 : 0.2 );
gc /= 2;
[/code:1]
That gc /= 2; is what you're interested in. That cuts your chance to gain in half. Try replacing the 2 with other numbers like:
[code:1]
gc /= 4;//Gainchance divided by 4
[/code:1]
or
[code:1]
gc /= 8;//Gainchance divided by 8
[/code:1]
You can make the gain as hard as you wish just by increasing that number. A few lines later in the script, there is a limiter...
[code:1]
if ( gc < 0.01 )
gc = 0.01;
[/code:1]
That makes it so that they always have a 1% chance of gaining, no matter how bad you mess up the math in the previous steps.
#3. I want a specific skill to be harder / easier to gain. How do I change that?
You can change what a skill "initializes" at in the "public static void Initialize()" section. Most skills initialize with a value of 1.0 by default. This 1.0 is multipled into your gain chances through the following line:
[code:1]
gc *= skill.Info.GainFactor;
[/code:1]
Normally, when the Gainfactor initializes at 1.0, this line makes no change to the skillgain computation. To change this Gainfactor value for specific skills, look for the following in your script:
[code:1]
public static void Initialize()
{
Mobile.SkillCheckLocationHandler = new SkillCheckLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler = new SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckTargetHandler = new SkillCheckTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckTarget );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler = new SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectTarget );
}
[/code:1]
That's the initialize method. You need to add entries into this method for each skill you want to change. It may be easiest for you to copy and paste the following over your initialize method:
[code:1]
public static void Initialize()
{
Mobile.SkillCheckLocationHandler = new SkillCheckLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler = new SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckTargetHandler = new SkillCheckTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckTarget );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler = new SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectTarget );
SkillInfo.Table[0].GainFactor = 1;// Alchemy = 0,
SkillInfo.Table[1].GainFactor = .8;// Anatomy = 1,
SkillInfo.Table[2].GainFactor = 1;// AnimalLore = 2,
SkillInfo.Table[3].GainFactor = 1;// ItemID = 3,
SkillInfo.Table[4].GainFactor = 1;// ArmsLore = 4,
SkillInfo.Table[5].GainFactor = .8;// Parry = 5,
SkillInfo.Table[6].GainFactor = 1;// Begging = 6,
SkillInfo.Table[7].GainFactor = 1;// Blacksmith = 7,
SkillInfo.Table[8].GainFactor = 1;// Fletching = 8,
SkillInfo.Table[9].GainFactor = 1;// Peacemaking = 9,
SkillInfo.Table[10].GainFactor = 1;// Camping = 10,
SkillInfo.Table[11].GainFactor = 1;// Carpentry = 11,
SkillInfo.Table[12].GainFactor = 1;// Cartography = 12,
SkillInfo.Table[13].GainFactor = 1;// Cooking = 13,
SkillInfo.Table[14].GainFactor = 1;// DetectHidden = 14,
SkillInfo.Table[15].GainFactor = 1;// Discordance = 15,
SkillInfo.Table[16].GainFactor = 1;// EvalInt = 16,
SkillInfo.Table[17].GainFactor = 1;// Healing = 17,
SkillInfo.Table[18].GainFactor = 1;// Fishing = 18,
SkillInfo.Table[19].GainFactor = 1;// Forensics = 19,
SkillInfo.Table[20].GainFactor = 1;// Herding = 20,
SkillInfo.Table[21].GainFactor = 1.1;// Hiding = 21,
SkillInfo.Table[22].GainFactor = 1;// Provocation = 22,
SkillInfo.Table[23].GainFactor = 1;// Inscribe = 23,
SkillInfo.Table[24].GainFactor = 1;// Lockpicking = 24,
SkillInfo.Table[25].GainFactor = .5;// Magery = 25,
SkillInfo.Table[26].GainFactor = 1.5;// MagicResist = 26,
SkillInfo.Table[27].GainFactor = .85;// Tactics = 27,
SkillInfo.Table[28].GainFactor = 1;// Snooping = 28,
SkillInfo.Table[29].GainFactor = 1;// Musicianship = 29,
SkillInfo.Table[30].GainFactor = 1;// Poisoning = 30
SkillInfo.Table[31].GainFactor = 1;// Archery = 31
SkillInfo.Table[32].GainFactor = 1;// SpiritSpeak = 32
SkillInfo.Table[33].GainFactor = 1.2;// Stealing = 33
SkillInfo.Table[34].GainFactor = 1;// Tailoring = 34
SkillInfo.Table[35].GainFactor = 1.1;// AnimalTaming = 35
SkillInfo.Table[36].GainFactor = 1;// TasteID = 36
SkillInfo.Table[37].GainFactor = 1;// Tinkering = 37
SkillInfo.Table[38].GainFactor = 1;// Tracking = 38
SkillInfo.Table[39].GainFactor = 1;// Veterinary = 39
SkillInfo.Table[40].GainFactor = .8;// Swords = 40
SkillInfo.Table[41].GainFactor = .8;// Macing = 41
SkillInfo.Table[42].GainFactor = .75;// Fencing = 42
SkillInfo.Table[43].GainFactor = .8;// Wrestling = 43
SkillInfo.Table[44].GainFactor = .8;// Lumberjacking = 44
SkillInfo.Table[45].GainFactor = .75;// Mining = 45
SkillInfo.Table[46].GainFactor = .4;// Meditation = 46
SkillInfo.Table[47].GainFactor = 1;// Stealth = 47
SkillInfo.Table[48].GainFactor = 1;// RemoveTrap = 48
SkillInfo.Table[49].GainFactor = 1;// Necromancy = 49
SkillInfo.Table[50].GainFactor = .6;// Focus = 50
SkillInfo.Table[51].GainFactor = 1;// Chivalry = 51
}
[/code:1]
Lets look at a single line that was added, and interpret it:
[code:1]SkillInfo.Table[46].GainFactor = .4;// Meditation = 46[/code:1]
That sets the initialized GainFactor to .4 for the meditation skill. When my character uses meditation, the script multiplies my gain chances by .4, which makes it harder for me to gain meditation.
[code:1]SkillInfo.Table[26].GainFactor = 1.5;// MagicResist = 26,[/code:1]
When my character checks magic resist, my chances of gaining are multiplied by 1.5, making it easier for me to gain Magic Resistance.
#4. How do I turn off this anti-macro garbage?
Looks for the following right at the beginning of the script:
[code:1]
private const bool AntiMacroCode = true;
[/code:1]
Change that "true;" to "false;" and your server will no longer use anti-macro code.
#5. What if I only want to turn off/on anti-macro for a single skill?
Following that
[code:1]private const bool AntiMacroCode = true;[/code:1]
statement area series of lines detailing whether anti-macro is enabled for each skill. Change the setting for each skill to true if you want to enable anti-macro for that skill.
#6. Stat gain sux! How do I change that?
All the way down near the end of the script is a section that looks like this:
[code:1]if ( skill.Lock == SkillLock.Up )
{
SkillInfo info = skill.Info;
if ( from.StrLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.StrGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Str );
else if ( from.DexLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.DexGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Dex );
else if ( from.IntLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.IntGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Int );
}[/code:1]
That's the section you want to play with. Perhaps the easiest way to modify stat gain overall, is to change the 33.3's. Let's look through a single computation:
[code:1]if ( from.StrLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.StrGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Str );[/code:1]
Translated, that means:
[code:1]If the skill is not locked (arrow up), and the skill's info.StrGain number divided by 33.3 is greater than a number from .00 to .99, then gain in that stat.[/code:1]
Let's look at an example...
I'm training in Lumberjacking. Let's say that lumberjacking's info.StrGain is 3. The math goes something like this:
3/33.3 > (.00 to .99)
.09 > (.00 to .99)
That's roughly a 10% chance to gain a stat on a successful skillcheck.
If I wanted to increase my odds at getting statgains across the board, I'd change those 33.3's to something like 25.0. Let's do the math again...
3/25 > (.00 to .99)
.12 > (.00 to .99)
That's roughly a 13% chance. Experiment, and see what works best for you.
#7. No matter what I do, I can't gain stats faster than once every 15 minutes. Why is that?
At the very end of the skillcheck.cs script, there's a section that look slike this:
[code:1]private static TimeSpan m_StatGainDelay = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 15.0 );[/code:1]
Change that 15.0 to whatver number of minutes you like.

I've included the skillcheck.cs that I currently run on my server. I have gone through it and added several lines of commented code. (denoted by the // marks) I've also made several modifications that make skillgain work the way I want it to work. By reading through the comments in the scirpt, you may gain some insight into how you can modify skillcheck.cs to work the way YOU want it to work. Please note... the debugging lines that were added that look like this:
[code:1]
//from.SendMessage( 0x35, "TOTAL Skills Base GC is {0}", gc ); // Debugging
[/code:1]
By uncommenting those lines, you can see ingame what the actual values of the variables are that control the gain system. Using those will allow you to adjust the system to use precisely what numbers you want it to.
Good luck, and feel free to post whatver questions or concerns you have regarding this script in the script discussion forum.

The following are some specific examples. With each, experiment until you find what you like.
1. Skillgain is too hard! I want to make all skills easier to gain.
In the script, search for
[code:1]
gc += ( 1.0 - chance ) * ( success ? 0.5 : 0.2 );
gc /= 2;
[/code:1]
That gc /= 2; is what you're interested in. That cuts your chance to gain in half. Try replacing the 2 with other numbers like:
[code:1]
gc /= 1;//Gainchance divided by 1
[/code:1]
or
[code:1]
gc /= .5;//Gainchance divided by .5 (gainchance multiplied by 2)
[/code:1]
2. Skillgain is too easy! I want to make all skills harder to gain.
As in the above example, search the script for:
[code:1]
gc += ( 1.0 - chance ) * ( success ? 0.5 : 0.2 );
gc /= 2;
[/code:1]
That gc /= 2; is what you're interested in. That cuts your chance to gain in half. Try replacing the 2 with other numbers like:
[code:1]
gc /= 4;//Gainchance divided by 4
[/code:1]
or
[code:1]
gc /= 8;//Gainchance divided by 8
[/code:1]
You can make the gain as hard as you wish just by increasing that number. A few lines later in the script, there is a limiter...
[code:1]
if ( gc < 0.01 )
gc = 0.01;
[/code:1]
That makes it so that they always have a 1% chance of gaining, no matter how bad you mess up the math in the previous steps.
#3. I want a specific skill to be harder / easier to gain. How do I change that?
You can change what a skill "initializes" at in the "public static void Initialize()" section. Most skills initialize with a value of 1.0 by default. This 1.0 is multipled into your gain chances through the following line:
[code:1]
gc *= skill.Info.GainFactor;
[/code:1]
Normally, when the Gainfactor initializes at 1.0, this line makes no change to the skillgain computation. To change this Gainfactor value for specific skills, look for the following in your script:
[code:1]
public static void Initialize()
{
Mobile.SkillCheckLocationHandler = new SkillCheckLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler = new SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckTargetHandler = new SkillCheckTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckTarget );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler = new SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectTarget );
}
[/code:1]
That's the initialize method. You need to add entries into this method for each skill you want to change. It may be easiest for you to copy and paste the following over your initialize method:
[code:1]
public static void Initialize()
{
Mobile.SkillCheckLocationHandler = new SkillCheckLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler = new SkillCheckDirectLocationHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectLocation );
Mobile.SkillCheckTargetHandler = new SkillCheckTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckTarget );
Mobile.SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler = new SkillCheckDirectTargetHandler( Mobile_SkillCheckDirectTarget );

SkillInfo.Table[10].GainFactor = 1;// Camping = 10,
SkillInfo.Table[11].GainFactor = 1;// Carpentry = 11,

SkillInfo.Table[33].GainFactor = 1.2;// Stealing = 33
SkillInfo.Table[34].GainFactor = 1;// Tailoring = 34
SkillInfo.Table[35].GainFactor = 1.1;// AnimalTaming = 35
SkillInfo.Table[36].GainFactor = 1;// TasteID = 36
SkillInfo.Table[37].GainFactor = 1;// Tinkering = 37
SkillInfo.Table[38].GainFactor = 1;// Tracking = 38
SkillInfo.Table[39].GainFactor = 1;// Veterinary = 39
SkillInfo.Table[40].GainFactor = .8;// Swords = 40
SkillInfo.Table[41].GainFactor = .8;// Macing = 41
SkillInfo.Table[42].GainFactor = .75;// Fencing = 42
SkillInfo.Table[43].GainFactor = .8;// Wrestling = 43
SkillInfo.Table[44].GainFactor = .8;// Lumberjacking = 44
SkillInfo.Table[45].GainFactor = .75;// Mining = 45
SkillInfo.Table[46].GainFactor = .4;// Meditation = 46
SkillInfo.Table[47].GainFactor = 1;// Stealth = 47
SkillInfo.Table[48].GainFactor = 1;// RemoveTrap = 48
SkillInfo.Table[49].GainFactor = 1;// Necromancy = 49
SkillInfo.Table[50].GainFactor = .6;// Focus = 50
SkillInfo.Table[51].GainFactor = 1;// Chivalry = 51
}
[/code:1]
Lets look at a single line that was added, and interpret it:
[code:1]SkillInfo.Table[46].GainFactor = .4;// Meditation = 46[/code:1]
That sets the initialized GainFactor to .4 for the meditation skill. When my character uses meditation, the script multiplies my gain chances by .4, which makes it harder for me to gain meditation.
[code:1]SkillInfo.Table[26].GainFactor = 1.5;// MagicResist = 26,[/code:1]
When my character checks magic resist, my chances of gaining are multiplied by 1.5, making it easier for me to gain Magic Resistance.
#4. How do I turn off this anti-macro garbage?
Looks for the following right at the beginning of the script:
[code:1]
private const bool AntiMacroCode = true;
[/code:1]
Change that "true;" to "false;" and your server will no longer use anti-macro code.
#5. What if I only want to turn off/on anti-macro for a single skill?
Following that
[code:1]private const bool AntiMacroCode = true;[/code:1]
statement area series of lines detailing whether anti-macro is enabled for each skill. Change the setting for each skill to true if you want to enable anti-macro for that skill.
#6. Stat gain sux! How do I change that?
All the way down near the end of the script is a section that looks like this:
[code:1]if ( skill.Lock == SkillLock.Up )
{
SkillInfo info = skill.Info;
if ( from.StrLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.StrGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Str );
else if ( from.DexLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.DexGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Dex );
else if ( from.IntLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.IntGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Int );
}[/code:1]
That's the section you want to play with. Perhaps the easiest way to modify stat gain overall, is to change the 33.3's. Let's look through a single computation:
[code:1]if ( from.StrLock == StatLockType.Up && (info.StrGain / 33.3) > Utility.RandomDouble() )
GainStat( from, Stat.Str );[/code:1]
Translated, that means:
[code:1]If the skill is not locked (arrow up), and the skill's info.StrGain number divided by 33.3 is greater than a number from .00 to .99, then gain in that stat.[/code:1]
Let's look at an example...
I'm training in Lumberjacking. Let's say that lumberjacking's info.StrGain is 3. The math goes something like this:
3/33.3 > (.00 to .99)
.09 > (.00 to .99)
That's roughly a 10% chance to gain a stat on a successful skillcheck.
If I wanted to increase my odds at getting statgains across the board, I'd change those 33.3's to something like 25.0. Let's do the math again...
3/25 > (.00 to .99)
.12 > (.00 to .99)
That's roughly a 13% chance. Experiment, and see what works best for you.
#7. No matter what I do, I can't gain stats faster than once every 15 minutes. Why is that?
At the very end of the skillcheck.cs script, there's a section that look slike this:
[code:1]private static TimeSpan m_StatGainDelay = TimeSpan.FromMinutes( 15.0 );[/code:1]
Change that 15.0 to whatver number of minutes you like.
