Unuseual character damage (Bug?)

[tyeeeee1]

Hey,

On the repack im using (Don't flame me about using one please) low level characters are doing damage that is way beyond what they should be doing.

EX:

Level 1 Dwarf Warrior, Normal starting damage is 1-6
Level 1 Dwarf Warrior, (My Server) Normal starting damage is 1-6, but the character is hitting 40-58's

I have checked the starting stats, the equipped items, checked for buffs, but nothing is out of the ordinary.
I'm starting to think this may be either a bug in ArcEmu or a bug in the repack im using. Either way I'm in need of a fix for this problem.
Any answers or solutions are appreciated.

I am running:
KingEmme´s Repack 3.3.5
WhyDB
ArcEmu

O_o i remember in vanilla when my warrior was hitting 40-58 on level 2 first day of WoW Release in EU, No class hits 1-6 with melee attacks what i know of!

hm.. check the stats . is they standart? ore your dwarf 1 lvl got 50 strengh and etc?
if not so thats a pre-compile issue. you must edit player.cpp for stats scaling. anyway if you useing not your own repack there is no way.

I have checked the stats (Not with an exact lv1 on the Real game) and most of them are in the low to mid 20's, I'm not 100% sure but im pretty sure that 20 str/20ap won't give the level 1 the ability to hit over 30's.

BTW Thanks for the replies!

@Nartan-----The 1 to 6 was a made up example, since I haven't played a low level char in a few months on retail.
@AlienCCL-----I'm going to do a thorough check by comparing them to the stat's of an actual lv 1 dwarf warrior. I will edit this post with any answers I find.


Edit: I have gone through and checked every possible stat, they are 100% the same as live servers..But the damage without a weapon is 33-34! With a weapon that has 3-5 damage on it is equipped his damage go's up to 51-54.

I've assumed the worst (That the repack im using is bugged in some way.) So I'm going to go attempt to compile my own repack with a diff core then transfer over my DB.

Its the core, its stats scaling that is messed up, if you're going to "compile your own repack with a diff core" then it wouldn't be a repack, it'd just be a compile, and with a different core you wont be able to use the same database, just because one repack is messed up, doesn't mean the core is.

[tyeeeee1]

Thanks for all the help. It actually was the core that was bugging out the damage & stats.
I tried my hand at compiling for a few hours but it didn't work, so I searched around and manage to find a freshly compiled un-edited arcemu repack to use.
+rep'd everyone that posted for the help ^.^

never knowd how the **** they compiling server with these errors.

[Kiev]

Because it doesn't create errors, many people don't look through the source code to realise these errors and just compile.

[AlienCCL]

i understand but when core releasing . example is arcemu. why there is no bugs such this one when you just download SVN and compile it..

It could've been a bug in the specific revision which the repack were compiled with; but the error fixed in a later revision.

I'd even dare to say "nothing is random" during compilation phases; even if I don't know in detail how the process is done. As the computer doesn't do anything you don't tell it to. "/
