Ever wonder what exactly the color "yellow" means when you target that green slime?  Have you ever been concerned about those Ice Golems that show up red when you try to attack then?  WELL WONDER NO MORE!!!

Everybody needs to both check it out for mistakes that I missed, and send a PM to vihni saying thanks for reminding me that there was something I could be doing on the wiki.

Ohhh nice work

Thanks for doing this guys, but - and I hate to say this - there are a couple of problems. Firstly, you say that the value is the number of levels difference (up or down). However what is shown is an actual level. Secondly (except for the lowest levels), each column needs to show a range of levels for which that colour applies (it's usually more than one). This doesn't apply to grey and purple of course, which already have a range.

If it's just the case that the number is the level at which the colour changes in order of increasing difficulty, then all that is needed is an explanation of that.

For example, to take level 50, the table gives <36, 36, 41, 49, 52, 55, 61+. Does this mean that 36-40 is green, 41-48 is blue, 49-51 is yellow and so on? That seems to be the obvious interpretation.

EDIT: 0.0 I've just seen Vinhi's post (with the unformatted table) in the other thread. What he says there is just how I interpreted it. So a slight tweak to the explanation at the top is all that's needed  :wink:

Grommit -- You are correct in your interpretation.  One thing I did notice is that my entries were tweaked a little to read into my nifty little level tracking excel spreadsheet.  For the higher levels, you can probably change a lot of the "111" entries to "n/a" where applicable.  For instance:

 110     <82     82     92     107     111     111     111+  

should probably read:

 110     <82     82     92     107     110     n/a      n/a

Eeuhh! This is why I don't like tables of numbers. I can't imagine caring about what the colours will be for a particular level so precisely. Still, obviously not everyone agrees with me and that's fine.

One thing you could do is split the data into multiple tables. Say one table per 25 levels = 4 tables + 1 for levels 101-110. It would make reading the data for a particular level less painful.

Nice work, Ell.

I myself have wondered sometimes about the level ranges, but I just use the probe spell.  The color is less important when you have a set of AC and WC gear.  Yet every now and again somebody asks what colors correspond with which level ranges.

Excellent criticisms, as soon as I finish reading my microeconics and chemistry lab stuff, Ill get right on it.

If you want to see what level a certain mob changes color, get the source and look in exp.c in server source code, common dir, or look below for the appropriate level.  below the first number is gray.

Well I incorporated Smacky's and vinhi's suggestions.  From what Longir posted from the source code, the table imight be a bit off.
