It's amazing to think that I've been here 19 years, and it's weird to imagine PB without you at the helm Patrick Clinger. Thank you for bringing ProBoards to us, and for making it the place it is today. I hope that you can now take a rest and watch PB continue to grow, knowing that you are the one that planted the seed, you have every right to feel proud of ProBoards.

Thanks again Patrick Clinger, good luck with your next adventure, and I look forward to seeing you around the forum in the future.

I don't know the first thing about Jcink, and unless it had post, thread and personal keys that all function in a very similar way to what they do here on PB, then this plugin, at least the way it works now, would be impossible.

That being said, I have only ever written plugins for ProBoards, and have been doing so a looong time, and with PB offering me the role of moderator, I do feel a part of the PB community, and have no inclination to write plugins for one of their competitors.

Sorry.

There is no operational difference between V3.1.1 and V3.1.2, it was just to fix a spelling mistake and to delete unused code that was left in the plugin after previous changes.

dut, please try version 3.0.4

I like the idea you have of the 'shrines', very clever. As for the attack order, the player does indeed attack first, but the image only shows the current HP, I assumed it was 0 BEFORE the attack, hence the miss.. The creature was successful, causing additional damage, but as you can't go below 0 HP, it was held. Though thinking about it, if you have 0 HP you shouldn't be able to attack anyway.

Some more thought is needed methinks.

Going by the above example, the plugin appears to be working as expected. The creature has a 150% chance of a successful attack, so even if it was hit, it would still have a 104% chance of hitting the member, and that is what happened..

'The Exeggcute attacks, causing 4 damage! You have 0 Tall Grass HP remaining!

The 150% chance of a successful MEMBER attack is different. More than a 100% chance of success should indeed guarantee that the member hits the creature, providing they are able to attack. the damage a member can cause to a creature is based on his/her strength (HP), the lower the members' HP, the less damage he/she can cause. This member has 0 HP, meaning that they can NOT produce a successful attack. With 0 HP EVERY attack will result in a miss, which highlights a problem with your request that I failed to think of before.

If you guarantee that a creature will always hit it's opponent, there is never a chance for your members to recover their lost HP. A member of staff would have to add HP via their profile whenever they see the need. So unless you are prepared to do that, guaranteeing that a creature hits is possible but unworkable.



This example is a weird one. Not only has the creature hit when it shouldn't have, it appears to have been defeated even though it still has 82 hit points remaining.

There are a couple of reasons for this that I can think of. The message suggesting the creature was defeated has been added to the wrong box, so the plugin is displaying the wrong message, or the creature stats for this creature may have been changed in the plugin settings while this battle was already in progress. Doing that will mean that the battle will continue as it was before the settings where changed, but would display the messages from the updated settings.

Whenever the creature settings are changed, they will only take effect in any NEW battles, they will only screw with existing battles as the battle stats have been saved to a key.

I will also add that, since V6 has been put on hold, I am updating this plugin, so I will add settings to guarantee attacks make contact, and will add a retreat message as you requested.

I am not so sure about how I will allow members to recover if they can never escape without being hit though. That will take some thought.
