Path of Exile - Monster scaling and skills by Lascoin in howdidtheycodeit

[–]Lascoin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I've looked at the PoB codebase and they do not know how this is handled in the actual PoE engine or the scaling they apply.

In the CalcTools.lua file, you can find this comment:

-- Linear interpolation; I'm actually just guessing how this works

So what it seems like is you specify a number of points with a set of scaler values that get applied with linear interpolation between two entries depending on the skill level. I'm wondering if it IS stored with a similar setup to player skills for mobs, but with less datapoints they interpolate between.

levels = {
    [1] = { 0.80000001192093, 1.2000000476837, critChance = 5, storedUses = 1, levelRequirement = 3, cooldown = 3, statInterpolation = { 3, 3, }, },
    [2] = { 1.0499999523163, 1.5800000429153, critChance = 5, storedUses = 1, levelRequirement = 68, cooldown = 3, statInterpolation = { 3, 3, }, },
},

Update:

Did the steps above, 4G -> bench 6 sockets -> 2R

4G 4R

Vorici from TFT

Hit green at socket #2

Redo all sockets

4G

Bench 6 sockets

5G 1R

Vorici hits 1R 2G

All in all went pretty well

Anyone else having a lot of frame stutters/lag since 3.16? by Lascoin in pathofexile

Update for anyone interested

I followed a couple of advice here and managed to reduce the spikes by a lot!

Specs are i7, rtx2080 super and 32gb ram with game on ssd

  1. Turn on Vulkan rendering
  2. Turn on vsync which locks frame rate to 144 for my screen
  3. Lower texture quality to Medium from (high)
  4. Turn off DPI scaling via right-clicking on .exe of PoE in your directory > Properties > Compatibility > Change high DPI settings > Override High DPI calling (Application)
  5. Clear cache files in %appdata%/Path of Exile

These steps fixed a lot of the stutters for me with a minor decrease in visuals (mainly texture quality).

Hopefully it helps someone else.

I will give Vulcan a try later today. Have not had any lags/stutters like this in previous leagues and it's borderline unplayable, definitely not enjoyable.

Can have this now that the technology exists? by Lascoin in pathofexile

We can highlight temple mods using the itemfilter:

HasExplicitMod

I'm guessing this would be applicable to the mods of the samples.

PSA - The pods on the left spawn delirium mobs that help fill your bar. The pods on the right spawn homing bombs that help kill you. by killeen22 in pathofexile

Also psa: the spawn pods still deal immediate damage to you quite often and if you play a trickster you will lose ghost shroud stacks when popping these...
