r894 - Elemental System Recode Part 4

[Rytech 392]

=General
*Elemental system recode part 4.
-This part focused on coding in the rest of the AI for handling skill related
-stuff. Elementals will now autocast their offensive skills when attacking and
-also use them when commanded with Elemental Action. Skills are also handled
-through 3 seprate skill type functions and are triggered depending on the
-elementals set mood.
-
-With how well the skills control is being handled in the source im thinking of
-just removing the elemental_skill_db since its just feels pointless. It turned
-out to be much easier and cleaner to hardcode the stuff in a group for each
-mode. Best and most efficant way to go since all skills are 1 level max,
-there's no skill tree, and skills can't be used/triggered by normal means.
-
-With the main parts of the system now working I feel its safe to enable the
-Sorcerer's elemental related skills. There's still some bugs as the system
-is still in development but nothing to worry about.

 

*elem_support
*elem_offensive_skill_chance
*elem_offensive_skill_casttime
*elem_offensive_skill_aftercast
-Added these configs to the elemental config.

 

*Updated the "useskill" command to check if the player has a elemental when
-casting a skill from their skill range. If one exists, it will cast the skill
-instead of the player. This check is also added for mercenarys and their skills.

 

*Elementals are now summoned with full HP/SP....again.

 

*Elementals are now only allowed to attack when in offensive mode.

 

*Cleaned up some code.

 

 

 

=Jobs
*Sorcerer
-Enabled skills related to the elemental system.
-With the system recode now stable and mostly working it should be safe to allow
-use of these skills.

 

 

 

=Skills
*Elementals
-Updated all timer data settings in the skill_renewal_cast_db to prepare for
-coding in their skills soon. Some may need to be hardcoded later on.
-All skill animation code is complete (should be) and so is the status support.
-They only look pretty for now but I wanted a way to visually see if the mode
-switch function is working and it appear that it does. PROGRESS!!!!

 

*EL_FIRE_MANTLE
*EL_FIRE_ARROW
*EL_FIRE_BOMB
*EL_FIRE_WAVE
-Added support for these skills.
-A bit early on coding some of their skills in but I needed a few working to test
-their offensive skill autocasting AI and also their mode switching functions.
