Reversing Morrowind's formulas

[lgromanowski]

Could someone fix the wiki heading CSS? All headings have no distance from the previous paragraphs, and all trailing line breaks are removed when you do a section edit. Add some top margins for headings h2-h4 or something.

I will fix it, but next time please write in Discuss the Site or make task in bugtracker with "website" as a category, because I don't read all posts and sometimes I could simply overlook such request.

I have another question regarding ingredients usage. The algorithm mentions a term named baseCost. What is that?

It's from the spell effect data, the base magicka cost for that effect.

Okay. Two more questions:

1. Do we know which sound is played when eating ingredients?

2. What is the duration measured in? I am currently assuming seconds. That results in very short effects though.

1)
fx\item\swallow.wav (for eat raw ingredients/eating food/wartcraft)
fx\item\drink.wav (for drinking potions)

Implemented. Thanks.

I'd just like to point out that all sounds are looked up through a soundID, which is given parameters from Morrowind.esm. The soundIDs are "Swallow" and "Drink". Edit: Morrowind doesn't even use the drink sound, it uses swallow for everything. Confirmed with testing.

The duration is in seconds. Wortcraft normally has a duration of less than 10 seconds with a fresh character, it mostly scales with alchemy stat. Updating the page to reflect units.

Yes, it's just that useless.

It's actually minorly useful if you need to restore attributes. You can get restore everything but speed from eating common ingredients, and it doesn't need a long duration or magnitude to work well. The ability to eat daedra hearts for magicka is a nice touch too.

Woah, nice touch Bethesda.
