hehe no, those three pips mean that you've had a certain amount of posts.

Those are pips. They are visual to show your posting activity.

apparently there was a bug. You should be able to upload images now. The size is restricted to no more than 200x200 pixels, and no more than 50k in size pls.

Before starting anything, you may not even want to participate in this particular game mod. Should you choose to opt out, MAKE SURE to visit the store, open a bank account and transfer all your points to your bank account. Otherwise, they'll go away. I DO have this set to not reset now, but I'd rather have your points safe, so please bank them before opting out. To opt out, you go to your user panel (My Controls) select the battle mod options, and tell it to opt you out.

Opened a forum for the mod, any questions and such will be answered in it.

Yes, they have to accept the approval before they're actually joined into your guild, even if they asked to join in the first place

what is resets is your OPEN points not your banked points. As far as I'm aware of nothing has happened which has affected users banked points. Unless they withdrew them from the bank, and then chose the opt out. I've pretty much restricted myself in who I attack as well, and I always make sure I send a pm so the user knows it was me. I COULD not send the thing, but.....

I can delete you from the forum, and will. You actually did not have to register to ask, all you had to do was post your question, as guest posting is allowed in the support, FAQ request and suggestion forums.

Depends on where you're talking about. The blocks underneath the member group icon are posting pips. The stars in your profile are where other users can "rate" you if they want.

Revives are always used on others, not yourself.

Works for me

A guild may not be created until you at level 3 or higher. Then you can join a guild or guilds. Up to you, and the guildmaster. You cannot attack a member who is more than 2 levels higher or lower than you. Again, I set this to try and be fair with everyone. You cannot attack someone who hasn't been active in more than sixty days. Oh, and current and future guildmasters, come up with an insignia, email it to me and I'll see to it that it's displayed and such

@Eve---This would not have affected your bank points AT ALL. As far as attacking, yes, you can attack random members (which is what I did, just for the hell of it...tho I mostly picked on other MODS). If you die, you come back in two hours, full strength and hp. Keith is right, you cannot be attacked while you're dead. The probattle option also gives you points. I would suggest if a user chooses to opt out, to bank their points (all of them) then opt out. That way you shouldn't LOSE anything. I'm considering making the time limit a bit shorter, so that those of us who like the mod can use it more. However, I set it low for a reason, to try and make it fair.

You autorevive after 2 hours, or someone can revive you, for one. You can "opt out" if you choose. To attack another user, you click the attack link when you're in a topic, or in their profile from the battle mod tab. At that point, you select a weapon. Weapon use is dependant on your strength levels at the time. I would revive you, but I'm dead too at the moment.

it's more fair to make it so that we are ALL limited insofar as the number of attacks per day. No one gets more than the other.

Have a great day today!

How to use it... You can browse the member db, or look at a topic, whatever you want, select attack Then choose your weapon. Other users do NOT have to be online for you to attack them, just as YOU do not have to be online to be attacked. You are limited to 4 attacks per day There is a store for this mod where you can buy potions and such. All points are compatible to each other. Bank is still in the IbStore

hehe Beth, we're not voting on 'em quite YET. I wanna see what else others can come up with first.

Well, I installed the battle system to my own forum. Interestingly enough, it allows me to set the point field. (Wasn't sure if it WOULD). So, I have a question in to the mod writers, in that I want to be sure that if I change the field from its default point system to the store point system, if it'll screw up the modification or not. As long as it won't do that, I should have it installed in the next day or so. The one thing I'm not happy about is that if I do it the way I want, it increases the query count in topic view. Not TOO much, but I busted my butt decreasing the query counts as it is. So I have to play around with that a bit.

Yes, fixing the archive is what's going on at present. However, it is actually being COMPLETELY rewritten while the repairs are ongoing. There are so many problems with it, that rewriting is quite frankly the BEST option available. Otherwise, what we're looking at is continuing to fix things, then having even more problems crop up and crop up and crop up....etc. Aside from that, there is also the problem with the fact that the archive was written in versions of php at least 2 back from current, which means that there are obsolete function calls, and some very STICKY problems that the programming language itself was rewritten for to correct in the first place. So, you see, that's even more of a priority. Then, you have to look at the fact that the database queries that are written into the script are also written for a much earlier version of mysql. This means that queries that were set in the scripts originally when it was written, don't work the way they SHOULD now; as the QUERY structures for mysql have also changed a quite a bit. Nor do they work efficiently, which creates quite a stress on the hardware framework. Again, this creates many, many problems that are only going to be fixed with rewriting the thing entirely. Y'see this is why when manta and I have discussed this very thing, of pm systems in place for it, she's being practical by saying "use the forum, it's already set up for it". A PM system is way ahead in time frame, and NOT a priority for the archive at present.

I'm pretty sure the plan is if you want to use pm functions, that we're encouraging you to join the forum to do so. Both programs have their own unique features which can and are used for the site overall.

hehe at least I don't have to deal with meetings at work.... Thanks again!

Still pondering it. Thing is, there has to be a way to get points into the mod, so....

dammit. The mod that I was hoping would fix the points thing I was looking at won't work. ugh. Anway, here's the next thing. I could change the settings for either the arcade or the casino (or both), so that the points accrued using them are available to use in the battle mod.
