Creature Hunt II 0.2.1 is stuck

[Todge]

Try removing the Max Hit Points:, that is restricting your members damage dealt to 10% of their current health, as swarms become harder to hit the smaller they get, couple that with the 10% restriction on hit points could make it missing them much more likely.

Done!

[Todge]

Fingers crossed you will have more luck hitting the creature now.

[Tix Mascot]

Yey! It's moving again! Thanks a bunch, Todge!

[Todge]

Good to hear.

Hi, Todge!

After a couple of threads that were more or less successful, Lady Porthos seems to be stuck here heretix.boards.net/thread/10016/shadowy-movements-water, but it works for me, so maybe you can have a look and contact her directly if you find something that may help her. We both use Chrome, BTW.

I also grab this opportunity to wish you a productive 2021 and thanks again for an excellent support with the plugin!

I'm afraid I cannot see that thread, but the one thing that could be making it a lot harder for Lady Porthos is her hit points. The lower they are the harder she will find it to hit the creature, so maybe compare her hit points to yours. That's the only thing I can think of, as there's no reason why the code itself would function differently for different users.

So, if I understand you correctly, it's geting increasngly hard to post a reply if your hit points get low, in other words, if you have fewer 'lives' left before you need to retreat? Will it help if I increase the personal quota for Lady Porthos compared to other participants in the quest? Most others have now 300, so maybe I should give her 400 to start with and see what happens?

That would help, but not a lot. The amount of damage you can inflict changes according to the percentage of your current HP compared to your full HP. Changing Lady Porthos' maximum HP to 400 from 300 could make it worse if you do not change her current HP, as the percentage would be lower. You could raise her current HP, which should help her as the percentage will be increased, but then that could be seen as unfair on your other members.

If Lady Porthos' HP is low enough to make her attacks futile, then she should really retreat to try and recover, and hope that she escapes without being hit again.

You can also increase the amount of HP that is recovered after a successful escape, that would make it easier to recover enough HP to allow you to attack again, as would changing the likelihood of a successful attack by the creature itself.

Thanks again, Todge!

I also increased Lady Porthos' current HP by 100 and that seems to help, since she hasn't complained for several days and her posts are normal. But I'll keep your advice in mind for future issues.

Another thing: A couple of times, the first hit has been disproportionally huge, like 88 out of a swarm of 192 or thereabout. Then, we've had about 5 misses before other hits with 2 digits, so this seems strange since it rarely happened before. Maybe it's just a statistical fluke, though...

Hopefully.

High hits like that are certainly possible, but it should be fairly rare.. Because you use the swarm setting, your battles run on a differing line to single creature battles.. A large swarm is easier to hit than a small one, whereas a single creature remains the same size throughout, as does the chance of a hit. Therefore, when you do get those huge hits, it should be just the once as the swarm would have been considerable diminished afterward.

Well, that certainly explains it, Todge. Our current thread has been stuck on 48 for a while, so I'll adjust the settings to get it going again. Thanks for the info!

No worries..

Hopefully, after you play with the original settings you'll find a some that will allow you to finish a battle without having to reset something, but please do yell if you need help in any way.

[Tix Mascot]

I'll do that, Todge and thanks again!
