SFPC - July Combat Test Preview Video #2

So, more updates, more often.  Check!

Finally something that actually resembles very basic but functional combat!  My numbers are still way off, I'm sure, but I now have:

- The basic Attack/Magic/Item/Stay menu is functional.  Magic and Item do nothing, a lot of work needs done before they come online, but Stay and Attack are up and running as you can see above.
- Units can attack each other, do damage, and are removed from the battlefield when they run out of hit points.
- The battle ends when there are no enemies left on the field, which you can see when the debug info goes away at the end of the video.

Other than all the stuff left to do, what I really need right now is more accurate formulas.  None of the FAQs I have sifted through so far have the kind of info I need, at least not at first glance.  For now, I'm essentially rolling 1d20 behind the curtain to see if an attack hits.  A 20 is a crit (5%), a 4-19 is a hit (80%) and a 1-3 is a miss (15%).  Damage right now is just attacking character's Atk minus defending characters Def, +/- 1.  I still need to work counterattacks and double attacks into the mix as well, implement gold and how much gold an enemy is worth, how to award EXP, leveling up... so much left to do, but at least it's coming along.

If anyone has the exact formulas any of the SF games use, or can point me to a good resource that would save me a lot of time and effort doing research replaying parts of the original games over and over and over, please, let me know!
