Thank you for the information! That'd certainly be an interesting patch to have, Grimoire LD... Would you, by chance, be willing to give me that patch? (This isn't related to the Adamant Armor's 99% Evade, is it? I'd like to include it in v2.02 of the Project.
It is, yes because that too is a glitch, the Immune byte is not supposed to work like this, this patch can also fix the x4 Weakness which lingers for Ice and Fire when you remove the Adamant Armor. Though if you wanted to give the Adamant Armor 99% Evasion you can just set it to give 99 Evasion, hehe.
Did I never make just a bug fix patch? I thought I did...? No, I apparently didn't, I have the raw ASM, but only ever threw it into Combat Boost.
I'll make a separate bug fix patch (maybe even release it on RHDN and here?)
The Immune bit does nothing alone. It's thought that it's part of an incomplete plan to make Immune like Absorb, but Absorb goes into its single elemental byte where as Immune is a separate byte all around.
The Cursed Ring will Absorb any element that it also is paired with, so say you have the Fire Armor, you would then recover when hit by an Ice Attack since it resists Ice, go one step further and say you have the Dragon Shield, when that happens you absorb Fire, Ice, and Lightning Elemental attacks.
The Immune bit is also broken because it gives 99% evasion because of a lack of optimization (they save a certain bit of data to a place that is supposed to temporarily store, but never takes it out which leads to it being added to evasion.) I have a patch to fix this, Immune on its own does nothing, but when the Immune piece of gear also resists other elements, they then become Immune to them.
So wait... Immune doesn't work like Absorb? You mean, (without your patch) if I make an armor that has the Ice bit and Immune bit set, it will not make the wearer immune to ice?
Ah no, that's what makes it different from Absorb. Absorb looks at all the elements you currently resist and allows you to absorb them. If anything is listed as 40+ whatever resistance bits, it is absorbed. That is how the Cursed Ring was designed, with the idea that the players would eventually catch on to it being a catalyst for elemental resistance.
Immune on the other hand uses a separate byte for Elemental Immunity but to be placed in that byte at all the game needs to show an Immune bit on the armor by default.
Immune Does work, when the item itself also has an Immune Bit, hence why the Adamant Armor does legitimately give you Immunity to Fire, Ice, and Bolt. (by the same token though makes you x4 weak to Fire and Ice physical attacks)
Here's the patch. It's very few bytes changed to make it work, but I've tested them both before and know they work to their purpose.
