Creature Hunt

Try moving Creature Hunt to the top of the list.. If that fails, could you try disabling the Posting Templates and Custom Post Template plugins and see if it then works.

[Former Member]

I moved it to the top. Turned off the two and no change. I even turned off all plug ins for a few seconds and I didn't see it. Perhaps I have the coding wrong for creature info and boo?

[Todge]

There's nothing wrong with your creature info..

What have you put in the 'boo' tab (that name will be changed by the way).

By the way.. Are you viewing your forum as the main admin?

[Former Member]

Ok I added it to a site where I am the main admin. I did see the list of creatures come up and a pop up did show up after the amount of posts with the creatures image.


I put this in as a test

[NAME]Windstorm Heartless

[TEXT] These large aerial Heartless use their potent whirlwind breath to attack their prey.
They are hard to hit in mid-flight, so strike their wings and tail to force them to land, then focus attacks on their head, which is weak against Thunder magic.

as well as this

[TITLE]Windstorm
Windstorm {10-850}
http://i1137./n511/JAFTadmin/heartless/Windstorm_KHD.png


It did pop up after the amount of posts with the image and desc, but not the name.

Ahh.. Ok..

So you are including information about the creature rather than a random introduction...

Do you intend to use the same introductory text each time the creature appears? Or randomly from various infos about that creature?

As it is now, it chooses the text at random, and you place [name] within that text to be replaced by the creatures name..

So, if you were to add..

[text]Out of the blue, a [name] swept into view!

the text displayed would be..

Out of the blue, a Windstorm swept into view!

Oh I could do that! I was just using the Windstorms stats as a test.

Would it then have random attacks during the thread based on what each creature can do like "Whrlwind breath" or "dive" ect? There are lots of creatures and each have their own attacks and whatnot. It would be say one creature or swarm per thread. I hope that makes sense. Oo

Just a question. Would each creature have its own bracket of info to fill out?

Say you have a block of info to fill out like..


Creaure Name: Wildstorm
Img URL: http/yaddayadda
Hit Points: 10 - 400
Chance of Miss: 30%
Thread URL: Http: yaddya yadda
Thread Intro: A dangerous Wildstrom Heartless appears!
Random Attacks: Text
               Text
               Text
               Text
Miss: Text
     Text
     Text

When Defeated: The Heartless has been taken down!

Like that? Or would that be too hard? ^^

[Todge]

I can add as many random events as you like (within reason).

You are limited, to a point, to how much info a single plugin can hold, though that can be overcome with header codes, otherwise it's down to you... You're the one that would have to add everything to the plugin, and in the correct format.

[Former Member]

Well lets see. Just so things don't get boring cus nothing is more tedious then when a monster says the same lines over and over. Maybe one line of intro. 10 random lines of attacks and lets say 5 random lines in case of a miss and or escape/counter attack and one line when defeated? Would that be ok? ^^

[Todge]

I won't be putting a limit on what you enter into the plugin, that is up to you. What I meant is the amount of criterea.

Intro, Attack, escape/counter, defeat and the creature itself.. 5 criterea..

I can work with that.

Also, I can make the plugin more functional if I use 2 keys, a thread key and a post key.. Are you OK with that?

AND.. I have changed the plugin slightly to account for different appearance info groups and the miss ratio.. It can be downloaded from the same link as before.

[Former Member]

Oh I see! I cant think of any other criteria that would be needed so it sounds good to me! Another key is fine I don't mind paying a few bucks for another key.

Great ill download the new version and test it. Just to ask would I need to be the head admin to use it? Because on the forum I need this for my co admin owns the main account.

Thanks! ^^

Edit: I tested it so far it works like a charm!

[Todge]

Allowing other admins to start a creature hunt is not a problem, and keys are free, providing you haven't used them all up.

I'll make a start on the attack function then.

Awesome! Thanks! And yeah, I used all my free key space but it will be worth it. ^^

[Former Member]

Oh dear. I think I may of found a bit of a problem. As I was testing this the creature shows up perfectly when you hit the number of set posts. But the moment the next person replies the pop up goes away. So if someone replies before the other players see the pop up they will miss it. oO

@greedsins - once this is more stable am I okay to use this?
