Dynamic Mob System (Staff)

The Dynamic Mob System is a custom designed solution for Sanctuary that works with the XMLSpawners. The DMS allows staff to create virtual mob definations that can be called on the XMLSpawners without having to set individual properties on each XMLSpawner mob line.

Functionality

There are five defined mob levels. Any dynamic mob definition can be applied to any mob level as set on the XMLSpawner such as Mob1/isDMS/defname, Mob2/isDMS/defname, Mob3/isDMS/defname, etc.

Base AI

This section currently applies only to non-human mobs. A pack instinct can also be set for bear, canine, ostard, feline, arachnid, demon, equine, and bull.

Melee

This is the AI used by most creatures. Non-human mobs use the wresting skill and do no special weapon abilities if no weapon is equipped. If the custom mob is equipped with a sword type, mace type or fencing type weapon it will use that skill and do the weapon type attack.

Archer

This AI will shoot a bow or crossbow depending on what is equipped. If the custom mob can be equipped with either a bow or crossbow.

Bump

Berzerk

This is the same as the melee AI but will never flee. Non-human mobs use the wresting skill and do no special weapon abilities if no weapon is equipped. If the custom mob is equipped with a sword type, mace type or fencing type weapon it will use that skill and do the weapon type attack.

Ninja

Might be partially broken because we have throwing weapons disabled. Melee AI that hides. Uses some deception abilities that need to be fixed.

This is a melee character that will teleport to his target. He will hide if no longer in combat.

Bump

wrestling, sword/fencing/mace, str, dex, hits, min/max dam, tactics+, ar+, hiding

Samurai

This is the same as the Ninja AI but uses precision instead of deception and is likely broken.

Spellbinder

Spellcaster uses both necromancy and magery. He will close distance when attacked. He will stun but needs wrestling and anatomy over 80 to perform the stun. He will attempt to flee when close to death if he is not paragon. Otherwise similiar to the Necro Mage AI above.

Bump

magery+, necromancy+, eval int+, meditation, int, mana+, wrestling+, anatomy+

Spellweaving

This is broken.

May not work because it tries to steal from the player. We may not want this anyway.
