[Beta] ProBoards Zombies v2.0

[Tim Camara]

After much anticipation, excitement, (and a little doubting), here's the new version of the ProBoards Zombies plugin.  Please keep in mind that as this is still a beta version, I cannot guarantee that everything will work appropriately.  So without further ado, here's the plugin file: If you're not sure how to install plugin files directly, you can follow this guide.

File Removed - Please check the library for the latest version.

Aside from a little bit of cleanup and optimization, the big change is the inclusion of respawning.  You'll find new entries on the settings tabs related to respawning, they should all work pretty much the same way as the existing options.

If you find bugs (and I can almost guarantee you will), feel free to post them in this thread.  I may not respond immediately, but they'll get fixed eventually.

Enjoy, and happy bug hunting.

SWEET !!! Can we test it ?

[moonbeam]

We're going to test it shortly sugi. I'm working on an announcement thread right now, actually.

Thanks, Tim Camara

I just realized that I posted my first bug on the initial plugin request thread, instead of here. I've since found another, I think.

1. I was told by a couple of people that the bite button appears for deleted members. Probably shouldn't, I'd guess? When they attempt to bite, they do get an error message though.

2. Even though I have the re-spawn rate set to 1 per hour, dead are coming back to life basically immediately.

[Tim Camara]

I edited the attachment in the OP, this fixes the deleted members bug and (I think) the instant respawn issue. Let me know if they're not fixed or if there are any other further issues.

Minor thing, but the default for "Respawn -> Alive" says "You have no memory of how you came to be hear, but that door says "Don't open - dead inside"."

Should probably say 'here'?

And yes, I realize you can change it, and have, just wanted to let you know!

Edit: One more thing! It appears that the labels aren't showing in our customized profiles, what variable is it looking for so that I can adjust them?

[moonbeam]

OK. So the dead aren't coming immediately back to life anymore, but I don't see a way to respawn someone either. I see on the Visual Settings tab that there is text for respawning. But I don't see a link on a dead person's profile to click.

Whoops, I'll get that fixed.

The person has to respawn themselves, the same way that they are the one who has to click the bite/shoot/etc. buttons.  I would have them respawn automatically when the respawn timer runs out, but that would violate one of the developer guidelines (about not firing off requests without user interaction).

Ahhh, thanks! I will ask the dead if they see that option.

Tim Camara, the respawn just doesn't seem to work. I've deleted the plugin, including the data, reinstalled it, and still the option isn't appearing for people. My members still love the game, however!

Some of us do, others like me are just damn tired infecting and killing everyone. Being a zombie is a full time job and I got Boards to run and peeps to meet.

I got a life outside of being a zombie.

Can you link me to a thread where there's a user that's dead that should have respawned already?

[moonbeam]

Sure. I have a thread dedicated to the game, and the user is toomuchreality.

I've edited the OP with an updated file that should fix the problem. Let me know if it doesn't.
