mod-fortis-autobalance

Why you’ll want this:

Turn empty dungeons into playable, rewarding content—right now. On low-pop servers, the module lets you solo dungeons by smartly scaling damage in your favor; as friends (or bots) join, the modifiers fade to 100% normal for a true group experience. No gimmicks, no grindy tweaks—just smooth difficulty that adapts to your party size.

Jump in, pull a pack, and feel the difference.

Auto-balance module for the AzerothCore Playerbot fork by @liyunfan1223

Purpose

• No HP manipulation. Creatures keep their full health.
• Player/Pet → Creature: outgoing player damage is multiplied based on party size.
• Creature → Player: outgoing creature damage is reduced (optionally increased above baseline).
• Loot remains correct, because all effective damage comes from players/pets.

---

How it works

• Scope: Dungeons/Raids when InstanceOnly=1.
• Counting: all non-GM players on the map (a GM is counted when .gm off). Playerbots are counted.
• Covered: melee/ranged, spell, periodic (DoT) ticks.
• Not reduced by default: creature → pets (can be enabled on request).

Factors

Let p = max(counted_players, 1), b = BaselinePlayers, r = p / b,
with lower bound MinMultiplier (default: 1/b) and—if AllowAboveBase=0—upper bound 1.0.

• Creature → Player:
  new_damage = old_damage * clamp(r, MinMultiplier, (AllowAboveBase ? ∞ : 1.0))
• Player/Pet → Creature:
  new_damage = old_damage * (1 / clamp(r, MinMultiplier, (AllowAboveBase ? ∞ : 1.0)))

Example (BaselinePlayers = 5, AllowAboveBase = 0)

Players	r = p/5	Creature → Player	Player → Creature
1	0.20	×0.20	×5.00
3	0.60	×0.60	×1.67
5	1.00	×1.00	×1.00

With AllowAboveBase = 1, factors for groups larger than the baseline can exceed 1.0.
