The weapon speed increase of monks and kensais don't work. Since the bonuses aren't cumulative, they have to be set at each relevant level when called by the clabXXX.2da: 
COPY_EXISTING ~spcl143.spl~ ~override~
              ~spcl816.spl~ ~override~
  PATCH_IF ("%SOURCE_RES%" STRING_COMPARE_CASE "spcl143" = 0) BEGIN
    SET loops = 10 SET progression = 4 END ELSE BEGIN SET loops = 2 SET progression = 12
  END
  READ_LONG   0x64 abil_off
  READ_SHORT  0x68 abil_num
  WRITE_SHORT 0x68 loops
  READ_LONG   0x6a fx_off
  WRITE_LONG  0x6a (fx_off + (0x28 * (loops - 1)))
  READ_ASCII abil_off abil_clone (0x28) // clone lev1 header
  READ_ASCII fx_off   fx_clone   (0x30) // clone lone effect
  FOR (index = 1 ; index < loops ; ++index) BEGIN
    INSERT_BYTES   (abil_off +        (index * 0x28)) 0x28           // insert new header
      WRITE_ASCIIE (abil_off +        (index * 0x28)) "%abil_clone%" // insert cloned lev1 header
      WRITE_SHORT  (abil_off + 0x10 + (index * 0x28)) (index * progression) // min level
      WRITE_SHORT  (abil_off + 0x20 + (index * 0x28)) index          // fx index
    INSERT_BYTES   (fx_off +        (0x58 * index)) 0x30             // insert new fx, allow for new abils and fx
      WRITE_ASCIIE (fx_off +        (0x58 * index)) "%fx_clone%"     // insert cloned lev1 effect
      WRITE_LONG   (fx_off + 0x04 + (0x58 * index)) (index + 1)      // set weapon speed bonus
  END

    Confirmed fixed:

    SPCL143, SPCL816 now have a level-based attack speed system setup: 
                 Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack      Attack
    SPL      LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed   LVL Speed
    SPCL143  1   +1      4   +2      8   +3      12  +4      16   +5     20  +6      24  +7      28  +8      32  +9      36  +10      
    SPCL816  1   +1                              12  +2
    I think I prefer the monk bonuses better...

    How come Kensai's bonuses stop after level 12?
  • BhryaenBhryaen Member Posts: 2,874
    @AndreaColombo
    Actually I'm not sure if it's the monk or kensai that gets held back, but the bonus is to weapon speed, not APR or THAC0 or anything, so it's not a major difference regardless. It's just that the kensai doesn't become a superspeeddemon the way a monk does, just gets a boost in their special weapon use I presume.

    @Bhryaen - My bad. I've just checked the kit descriptions: Monks get a -1 to Speed Factor at level 8, and another -1 to Speed Factor at level 12. So that was the Monks' row. Kensais get a bonus every 4 levels, which is applied correctly in SPL143.

    In that case I like the kensai's bonuses better. Heh

    Confirmed Fixed for the Kensai via NI

    As for the Monk:

    @CamDawg, @AndreaColombo and maybe @SethDavis?

    So, currently with this fix the Monk gets a -1 speed factor bonus at levels 1 and 12, but as AndreaColombo mentioned, the class description states that they should receive these bonuses at level 8 and 12.

    Either the description needs to be changed or the speed factor needs to be moved from level 1 to level8. Or am I missing something here Camdawg?

    No, it's working correctly. By convention the lowest level ability of a spell is always set to a minimum level of one. The key here is clabmo1.2da, which is the table of monk abilities--note the AP_SPCL816 under the 8 and 12 columns, meaning it's applied at those levels.

    We could have moved this to confirmed fixed, but this is yet another fix that's been applied repeatedly and corrupted the file. I've attached fixed spell files.

    Thanks @CamDawg.

    @SethDavis
    CamDawg has provided the fixed spell files for this one.

    Potentially fixed - @CamDawg's files have been added
