I just noticed that we have bitsets for being weak, strong, and absorbing elements, but not for being immune to them.

i get that attacks can fail vs. an enemy type, but this doesn't work for heroes. plus, maybe you're using enemy types for something decidedly non-elemental.

anyway. seemed like a strange omission so i thought i'd bring it up.

Your (or rather, my?) timing is perfect, as I am adding that today.

Woohoo! No more faking immunity with the combination of obnoxiously high defense, "damage can be zero," and elemental resistances!

Seriously, this is something I've wanted to see added for a really long time. I'm surprised it's taken this long for elemental immunities to get in, though I guess it's possible that it's one of those things that's a lot more complicated to code than it seems.

awesome. now I can make non-elemental enemies that are immune to stuff.

A good workaround is to use the resistance bitset as a immunity. Why? Because having a resistance against an element reduces the damage so much to where they might as well be immune.

Then you set the attack to "fail vs X resistance", and you're set. Immunity is more useful, especially if you want to get fancy with battles.

Which I'm sure many of us want to do. We like fanciness in our battles.

Whoa, there was a nightly with a bug that corrupted all of your hero data?? That's pretty scary. Good thing I only update to a new nightly every few months or so... Ha ha ha!

I think you mean "good thing I keep backups" ;)

Wasn't mentioned anywhere, but I thought I should:

As of a few days ago, the new elementals stuff is finally finished (there were plenty of distractions), except for a few extra things (more "equipment elemental merging" formulas, some script commands, maybe changes to editors to make them more intuitive. Also, the "Old awful" formula will be changed a bit.)
