Basic Magic Regen

WHAT DOES THIS MOD CHANGE AND WHY?

• []It can be very difficult to play a "full" magic user build in Daggerfall. The main reason being that using magic can be very expensive in terms of dealing damage, and the player mana pool is only so large that most encounters will leave them without mana to continue fighting, so they have to switch back to being a melee fighter essentially most of the time. This mod aims to try and make a "full" magic user build more viable, by allowing mana to not just regenerate from resting, but passively even while not sleeping. In a similar vein to how passive mana regen works in Oblivion and Skyrim.
  • []It is extremely easy to customize the passive mana regeneration to your preference with the simple settings options available. If you want to have mana all the time, you can set it that way, if you just want the passive generation to be a small supplement to your resources, you can do that as well. Change the frequency of each regen "tick" and the amount generated each "tick" as well, all still based on the players Willpower stat. The Luck stat also has a small role as well.

    SPOILERS/MORE DETAILS:

    • []Willpower is the main factor in determining how much mana regen will occur per "tick." However, every point of Willpower will have an effect, not just multiples of 10. Decimal values will be considered and have a 100 sided die roll every regen "tick." So 51 will = 10% chance of rolling a 6 on that "tick", where as 59 will = 90% chance of rolling a 6. This roll for the remainder values is modified further by the players LUCK stat. So higher luck will increase the odds of a higher regen "tick" value occurring, lower doing the opposite.

    • []If you want EXACT numbers and information on how some mechanics and formula work in this mod, under the hood. You can look at the source code yourself from the GitHub linked lower down. You can also email/post a thread on the parent forum post linked below and I would be happy to answer any questions.

      OPTIONS:

      • []Magic Regen Type: Toggle between "Flat" and "Percentage" based mana regen. Default 0 = Flat, 1 = Percentage.

      • []Tick Regen Frequency: How often regen "ticks" occur. Can set from 1-6, 1 is default. 1 = ~5 seconds, 6 = ~30 seconds.

        []Rest Regen Tick Delay: Default = 10 || Magic Rounds Between Regen Ticks During Rest Or Loitering.

        []Regen Amount Modifier: Multiplier on final regen amount per "tick." Can set from 0. 25 - 5, 1 is default.

        Question: What is the difference between Flat and Percentage?

        Answer: Flat gives a flat set amount based on the will-power modifier, so 50 WP = 5 mana/set tick, 20 WP = 2 mana/set tick, etc.
