Armor Rating

[sirsk8aton]

Is there actually any armor rating that is calculated in how much damage you receive? I know agility helps lower damage, but the way it looks to me there is no actual armor rating for armors. I tried messing with the "damage" scroll bar tons and it never makes a difference. I also looked into modCombat and couldn't find any armor calculated into the damage. Although, I could be wrong because I'm not very good with the source ;)

I'm pretty sure it is infact calculated by the "damage" bar, it just doesn't change to "defense" when you change the item type from weapon to armor/helmet/shield/.

That's what I thought at first, but then I looked into the code and couldn't find anything that calculated that in.

```
Function GetPlayerProtection(ByVal index As Long) As Long
    Dim Armor As Long
    Dim Helm As Long
    GetPlayerProtection = 0

    ' Check for subscript out of range
    If IsPlaying(index) = False Or index <= 0 Or index > Player_HighIndex Then
        Exit Function
    End If

    Armor = GetPlayerEquipment(index, Armor)
    Helm = GetPlayerEquipment(index, Helmet)
    GetPlayerProtection = (GetPlayerStat(index, Stats.Endurance) \ 5)

    If Armor > 0 Then
        GetPlayerProtection = GetPlayerProtection + Item(Armor).Data2
    End If

    If Helm > 0 Then
        GetPlayerProtection = GetPlayerProtection + Item(Helm).Data2
    End If

End Function
```
Are you searching for this?

Yes! I have found that already while snoopin through the source. It just seems weird to me when I set the "damage" to 200 and doesn't even make a difference. I could test it a bit more, mess around with it and see what happens. Thanks for the reply though.
