Holding this one on placement rather than on the logic —
Two problems with the table as a table:
The Happy to be wrong if there is a reason CELL cannot be a column — if the pattern genuinely is not per-skill-row, say so and I will merge as is. |

Taken, on both counts. To answer the question you left open — is the pattern per-skill-row? Yes, and it isn't a judgement call: The layout knowledge is now where you said it belonged. And the trap inside that, which is why the tail can't simply be appended: running out of room is not the same as continuing.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Discard the complete pattern after an invalid triple.
If a later CELL or COST triple is malformed, ReadTriples returns false after it appends earlier pairs. ReadCellPattern then serializes those pairs at Line 195. This creates a truncated area pattern instead of the required null fallback.
Make the parse result distinguish an invalid field from a zero terminator. Return null for the full pattern when any triple is invalid. Add a test with valid pairs followed by an invalid field.

Rebased and trimmed to the CLAUDE.md that landed today: comments cut back to the ones that answer a question a reader would otherwise have to dig for, and nothing outside the project named. No behaviour change in this push. |
…arget Sixty-eight skills in Skill.dat carry a CELL section: an explicit list of the cells they hit, relative to the caster and drawn facing north. Sixty-seven of them are declared as area (HitType 3) with an area RADIUS OF ZERO, because the area is the pattern and not the radius. TargetResolver only read the radius, so all sixty-seven hit a single target. No exception, no log - just less damage than the file says, on skills like the archer's 244 "Piercing Shot" (a row of eight cells, an arrow that pierces) and 367 "Fire Breath" (a rectangle of thirty). The pattern is authored facing north and cast towards the target, so it is rotated by the angle between the two rather than snapped to eight directions: on the four cardinals the result is exact (sine and cosine are 0 or +-1), on the diagonals it is the nearest approximation. An approximation worth stating, since it is visible in play: rotating by an arbitrary angle and rounding can turn a row one cell wide into a staircase with the odd gap at its side, and somebody half a cell off the line can slip through. On the cardinals - the overwhelming majority of casts, since the caster lines up with the target - it does not arise. The table is generated from the client's Skill.dat and checked in rather than put in a column: it is static client data, the same for every server, and it reads straight out of the file that ships with the game. Eight tests, from the file rather than from another implementation: the two example patterns, the four cardinals, a diagonal, and the two cases that fail in silence - a skill with no pattern, and caster and target on the same cell (where normalising divides by zero, every cell becomes NaN and then zero, and the whole pattern stacks on the caster without a word). Zero warnings, all tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
62 comment lines down to 35, and the long ones down to a line or two. What is left is what a reader would otherwise get wrong: the radius being zero because the area is the pattern, the authored basis, and the zero-distance guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The CELL section holds two header fields plus thirty triplets (dx, dy, continues) and stops -
there is no room for a thirty-first. Patterns that need more continue in the unused tail of
COST, whose thirty-three fields are three real ones (CP, price, and a third nothing reads)
followed by ten more triplets in the same format.
Ten skills use it, and the table clipped every one of them at thirty. Fireblast lost the last
six squares of one column of its 3x12 rectangle; Armour Piercing Round lost the tip of its
beam. Nothing raised and nothing logged - they simply covered less ground than the client
draws.
How the continuation was established, since a wrong reading here is silent:
- the tail is non-zero only on the skills whose CELL is full;
- it holds triplets in the same format and orientation;
- it never repeats a cell CELL already gave, across all ten;
- Fireblast and Dragon's Breath close into exact full rectangles - 3x12 and 3x13 - and the
cells the tail supplies are precisely the corner that was missing.
The eleventh skill that fills CELL, Reaper's Scythe, has an empty tail and a closed thirty-cell
figure: a "continues" flag on the last triplet CELL can hold does not mean there is more, it
means you cannot tell from there. So the tail is read rather than assumed, and there is a test
pinning Reaper's Scythe at thirty - it is the skill that assuming would give cells it has not
got.
Fireblast 36, Ice Chain 39, Dragon's Breath 39, Armour Piercing Round 40, Triple Bolt 37,
Triple Arrow and Lucky Wideshot 32, and three more at 34 to 39. Sixty-seven cells in all.
The test that asserted thirty for Fireblast asserted the old reading, so it now asserts the
rectangle instead, and two guards join it: no pattern lists a cell twice, and none exceeds what
the two sections can hold.
CELL is a Skill.dat section like any other and now goes the same way: the parser reads it onto a CellPattern column, and the generated table is gone. It is per-skill-row: the file has 1958 VNUM sections and 1958 CELL sections, one each, of which sixty-eight are non-empty. CELL holds ninety-three fields - two of header, then triples (dx, dy, continues), ending at the first triple whose third field is zero. That is thirty cells at most, and a longer pattern continues in the unused tail of COST. A continues flag on the last available triple means the row ran out rather than that there is more, so the tail is read and is often empty; skill 1175 fills all thirty and stops, 1857 fills them and goes on. A string column rather than a child table: the pattern is one value of the skill, read whole or not at all, and the longest is eighty numbers. A malformed value parses to null so one bad row degrades a cast to a single target instead of taking it down. Tested: NosCore.Parser.Tests 105/105 with five new cases over a synthetic Skill.dat, NosCore.GameObject.Tests 388/388, zero build warnings. The Skill.dat documentation snapshot is regenerated. Not verified in a client - a skill with a pattern has to be cast at a group of monsters to see the shape land.
