Chests

Ischaldirh	Another code-based question: I see that chests in items.dat have a DamageDivider line. I am just curious how this works - does this take container material hardness into account in any way?
4zb4	Had a quick look. Damage divider seems to only affect the contents of the chest, reducing the damage the items within receive and therefore how likely they are to break
4zb4	Strength value of the chest itself comes into play with the lock, so a tougher chest naturally has a tougher lock to break.
4zb4	Therefore the material the chest is made of only affects how likely you are to break its lock, whereas damage divider reduces the likelihood of items inside the chest breaking when the chest itself receives damage
Ischaldirh	Interesting. So if I turned my large chest into cloth, I could halve it's empty weight without endangering the contents.
Ischaldirh	Not perhaps the best use of an SoCM, but
Batman?	interesting, so instead of wasting a socm or charge from a wand of poly you could just wield the hard to open hidden chests and pray to an angry loricatus, this making them easier to kick open?
Serin-Delaunay	Yes. But making Loricatus angry might offset the value of the chest's treasure in the short-to-mid-term.
Serin-Delaunay	I'd rather lose 1/25 of a polymorph charge than 10-40 hours of metal upgrades
capristo	polymorph? I'm not seeing how polymorph would help soften a chest
Serin-Delaunay	I think Batman? was thinking of getting at chest contents rather than lightening chests for transport.
capristo	oh.. what happens if you polymorph a chest that has stuff in it?
Serin-Delaunay	Try it!
fejoa	Lightning chests?
4zb4	No. Nobody get any ideas from that statement please. No thank you.
fejoa	:D 
Ischaldirh	I would like to see more traps in the game.
Serin-Delaunay	Lightening. Making them lighter :D 
fejoa	Ok then, how about a lightening chest?
