I am too tired tonight (Thursday PM), plus long hours of code have given me a headache. I going to have to sleep on it and pick it up in the morning.

The contest mode is turned on in the level up mode. The bots are still at their normal Hp/Str so leaving it on will not interrupt normal play. I will be happy when this code is fixed: we will finally be able to have some real guild competitions. biggrin.gif

So what is considered cheating.
Since now days everyone just wants to keep climbing, cause its basically been turned into a single player game, is it still classed as "Bad" to cheat?]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:53:49 -0500 http://gamepursuits.net/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9957 Battle Links http://gamepursuits.net/ipb/index.php?showtopic=8184

First each level up is based on reaching your max Exp. When reached you receive a random Hp/Str increase between 5 and 15 for each. However the Exp you gain with each attack before reaching the Max and leveling up is another story.

When you attack your exp gain is primarily a result of the damage you do or the hp taken off (with level difference and other calculations having a small effect). The hp you take off is a random calculation based on your weapons minimum strength and the lesser of either your max Str or the weapons max Str. Well during normal play here we keep the bot Hp quite high so they can withstand several hits without taking dirtnaps. As you rarely kill a bot in normal battle here you take off the max hp your weapon delivers, and, in turn get the max Exp.

On the other hand during a frag contest your weapon is often capable of taking off way more Hp that the bot has remaining. For example if your weapon is normally capable of taking off 50,000 but the bot only has 100 Hp left because it was previously hit... well your Exp calculation is based on 100 actually taken, not 50,000 the weapon could have if the bot had more.

Therefore if you want to also level up as much as possible in a frag contest, pick bots that have full or nearly full Hp left. And if need be use the Revive Bots link which is displayed during contests. You will still not level up as fast as in normal play, but you will do much better.

Some think that the most dangerous bot is one that is refreshed. That is true only in some cases. True if the counter attack calculates that with near certainly that the bot can kill you without using up all it's Str. Or also if the level difference is more that 20% and the calculation shows that the bot can do severe damage. But most of the time a bot will first try to conserve it's strength for more attacks.

However the most dangerous bot you can ever encounter is one that has most of his Str but you left him with 10% or less Hp. This bot will always, WITHOUT FAIL, select the biggest weapon it is allowed, and try to kill you because it is almost dead anyway. There is no longer any reason to conserve it's Str if another attack will kill it anyway. This isn't likely to happen too often in normal play because hp is kept fairly high, but it can happen a lot in a contest.


Hope this was helpful, Sandi]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:20:07 -0500 http://gamepursuits.net/ipb/index.php?showtopic=7684 Battle attack links http://gamepursuits.net/ipb/index.php?showtopic=5100

The thought: Have a bot for each guild (That were interested in partaking), Give members of each guild access to their specific 'Guild Bot' (Or to those members of the guild who would be interested in partaking), give the bot's access to battle, and then let the guilds battle to be the first to get to level 6000 with the bot.

With the rule, that the bot can only attack members of guilds, and no killer/mafia bots.]]> Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:42:57 -0400 http://gamepursuits.net/ipb/index.php?showtopic=4458
