Bug Attribute cost when attribute value is negative

[madpear]

When using /attribute add [attrib] on an attribute type that starts with a negative value, the cost is not calculated correctly.

e.g.
Ranger starts with -6 Wisdom. Instead of costing 1 point to increase the Wisdom level, it costs 2 points to increase from -6 to -5, -5 to -4, -4 to -3. Then it goes back to costing 1 point per level up intil 2 to 3 which correctly costs 2 points again.

Absolute value or signed/unsigned problem I suppose.

It is correct.

The farther away from 0 you are, the more costly it is to increase the attribute. This goes for both negative and positive values. The costs you described sounded like they were the intentional values.

It was done this way to make negative attributes more inhibiting for certain classes.

Thanks for the info.

FWIW, we could flag this for the wiki team if we wanted the attributes page to reflect this, otherwise it will cause problems for people with spreadsheet calculators (aka me).

Fixed, thanks madpear.

Btw, to tag the Wiki Team, type @wiki and wait for the drop down list, then select Wiki Team from that - and with luck, some of us might get the notification (group tags being pretty random, unfortunately).
