THANK YOU SO MUCH BITSY!!! That solved the problem right away!

Now, just another quick question . Do the "+ to def" and "+ to attack" options work? I tried them out and the opponents move never hit when I had a "+ to def" item equipped... the move either reflected and said it damaged the oppoenent, which it didn't, or the wordlet said "Opponent dealt points of damage" without a number, dealing me no harm. I'm searching the thread but I can't seem to find if you had said these two categories don't work. If not, does the armor category work? Thanks.

They should be working. If the + to Def item added defense that was greater than the opponents attack, then the opponent won't be able to do any damage. That may be what happened. How much have you tested this?

The armor category should work like regular defense.

yah i installed Auto-Update stats add-on

Can you verify that they are actually losing HP. Sometimes your maxhp goes up and it makes it look liek you are losing HP, when actually all that is happening is your HP is staying the same and your machp is going up. I am pretty sure this is related to the update stats code.

bitsys should i start a addon thread or post here?

I would try keeping it here for now.

Update:

What would it take to add a Timer to the battles, aka making it so players can only do so many battles a day, with the play member, and other other members, aka two toggles.

say, member A and B, can only fight each other 5 times a day, where as member A can find other members C D E F etc up to 25 different members in one day or what ever you choose?

This would stop members from trying to spam rpg points by dualing them selves or others massively to get gils/other points ?

That kind of system would involve an infinately large mask system. You would have to keep track of who fought who for 24 hours in a temporary table and check that every time a battle is made. Sounds a little messy.

What if users could only fight a certain number of battles per day?

Bitsy, some of my members suggested you have a new battle activate the "New PM" Popup window... the users report that they get the PM that they have been challenged, but they don't get a popup for the new battle PMs like they would any other pm. I don't know how hard this would be, but it would be a decent addon.

Thanks to Darkwaltz, this will be fixed in the next version.

Also, some of my links in the itemshop do not work. The links are like this: "http://itemshop.php?action=whatever" instead of putting my domain in front. I checked the template, and it used PHPSELF bust I guess it wasn't working. Any quick fix?

For now, you can replace $PHP_SELF with itemshop.php throughout the whole file. I remember having a problem similar to this a long time ago, but I have not seen it since. I also can't remember if there is a php setting to fix this or not. Hmm, I will look in to it.

Also, can you explain the section of the code that determines if a move hits or not, it seems very confusing, and right now the moves are missing too much.

Your chance to hit should never be below 40%, and never be above 90%. The equation for calculating your chance to hit is

PHP Code:

0.6 + log10($uspeed / $oevade); 


This means that you start with a 60% chance to hit, and this value goes up or down based on your speed relative to your opponents evade.

I think I might have just found a bug with anger.

If you think there is something wrong, first try turning on the battle debug messages. To do this, open battleupdate.php. At the top, you should see:

PHP Code:

$battledebug = 0; 


Change it to:

PHP Code:

$battledebug = 1;

ALSO, people with a ' in there user name can't be challenged by someone else, rather, they have to challenge in order for it to work. The ' doesn't mess up teh script anymore, but it does still prevent the users from being challengable.

Is there an error message that is displayed? What happens when a person tries to challenge them?

finally, I have a question about anger. Users can apparently select the "show opponent you are angry" box when their AP is around 85%. The users say nothing differnt happens though. Is this suppose to happen, or is it only suposed to happen at 100%? And is it adding 10% damage?

See above.

I don't have the auto update mod installed.

I wonder is there any punishment for loosing a battle? One person on my board seems to think when he lost a battle his hp went down a bit.

Are you sure their maxhp is just going up, with their HP staying the same? This makes it look like their HP went down, when it actually stayed the same. Also, if their posts per day drops, then their HP will drop as well.

to get the prompt to work, find in battle.php

PHP Code:

                $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",0,0)"); 


and replace with

PHP Code:

                $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid,deleteprompt) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",0,0,0)"); 


also find the second query:

PHP Code:

                $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",0,0)"); 


and replace with

PHP Code:

                $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,messageread,folderid,deleteprompt) VALUES (NULL,$userid,$userid,$originating_user,'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($message)."',".time().",0,0,0)"); 


(although this will alert YOU about it)
