Shoddy Battle 2 (the future of Shoddy Battle) - Page 22

Could you guys just list off the features that you are including? I think a lot of people would appreciate it.

Navy · Oct 22nd, 2009, 4:33:09 AM

I don't know if this has been suggested. Could you add the Pokemon's Stats?! just by putting the arrow of the mouse over the Pokemon and it shows the chart of how much Atack it has,SPAtack,SPDeff during battle?! If you know what i mean.

That would be cool.

Neblim · Oct 25th, 2009, 9:58:53 PM

Will you be allowing people to play 6V6 matches, Youve have already mentioned its possible, sure why not build your own metagame =P

And yes, showing HP as a % would be much more helpful.

Actually I reckon in 6v6 everyone would just use water absorbing surfers, electric-immune dischargers, airborne earthquakers etc.

You could probably also wreak some havok with flash firing lava plumers.

SoulRed12 · Oct 27th, 2009, 12:36:09 AM

I wonder if it would be possible to include a feature to disable chats? I like to simply battle, without talking. That's one reason I like battling on the ds with mic turned off; you just battle, no sh** talking to take the fun out of it. (at least, for me) If this is implemented, it could obviously be toggle-able so those who enjoy the chat could still use it.

Abacus · Oct 27th, 2009, 2:55:22 AM

I want to make sure that the item "mail" is implemented into Shoddy Battle 2. According to smogon, when targeting a pokemon holding mail, trick will fail. This is significant and should be implemented.

Ruko · Oct 27th, 2009, 3:18:59 PM

I don't know if this has been brought up or fixed.. Trick/Switcheroo is supposed to fail when the user or target is without an item, yet it doesn't.

The post above about implementing mail reminded me of this.

This is wrong. It has been tested and proven that it DOES switch when the opponent has an item.

Tenzuku · Oct 27th, 2009, 8:29:23 PM

Yes, would there be a option where you can disable the chat, so you or the other player can't talk?

dialga_438 · Oct 29th, 2009, 11:20:42 AM

When is it going to be released ??

Superkid11 · Oct 29th, 2009, 1:05:20 PM

The answer seems to be "When it's ready."
Granted, there haven't been any updates to the mercurial repository in weeks, but that doesn't mean it's ready.
(it would be kind of nice to hear how things are going though)

LightningLord2 · Nov 1st, 2009, 11:26:03 AM

Will there be access to a GUI for coding? I've heard that the sourcecode could be changed in order to create a different metagame on one's own server, and I wanted to try this myself, but I can't handle jawa >_>

Atomos · Nov 2nd, 2009, 1:22:55 PM

I would like the following:

1. The ability to have a tournament organizer, so that tournies dont have to be declared in the main chat.
2. A readout of various effects that are up
3. The abillity to click on an opponents sprite, and see the smogon anaylsis.
Oh, and leg warmers, I feel cold...

Atomos · Nov 2nd, 2009, 1:50:55 PM

I was looking at the implemented teams, and if these are for a bot to face you, then these need some work, and only team 7 is EV'ed.

Synth · Nov 2nd, 2009, 9:15:10 PM

And for the Ladder, can you put on NU, Little Cup, and Ubers? It's always tough trying to find an uber battle, and it's near impossible for me to find a Little Cup match. I also battle NU, but always have to settle for the UU ladder. (In which I get whipped). This would be much appreciated. Thank you.

symphonyx64 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:57:04 AM

I don't know if this has been suggested or not.

But, I hate the fact that if one wants to take a break from Shoddy for a few days/weeks, one loses points for inactivity. Its a royal pain to spend hours brining one's ranking up, just to be penalized for taking an extended break.

There are probably specific issues circumventing this.

Thank you.

oizo 06 · Nov 3rd, 2009, 2:01:22 PM

1) Sorry if that was already said but i would be very happy with a NU ladder !
2) Is that true that it will be possible to play in another language ?

As the OP says the chat will be much more like IRC. Colin said on page 2 that:

Quote:

I agree very much for you to add such a thing to block certain annoying users on SB2. I think we all would love such a feature as that. We can go on the "Away" status to stop receiving random battle requests, but reading on and on about pointless things on the server and not being able to block such users can be a real pain in the Froslass. Kind of like on IRC's or chat sites, or even IM clients, you can right click on their name and "Block this user".

So, if you don't want to see the opponent talk, you will be able to simply block them.

There was an update a few days back (after this post), but I think Colin has been concentrating on all the great changes around the Smogon forum, and will probably continue as soon as he is able.

Making metagames, editing moves and the like will be much more simple. Making totally new move effects (e.g. new status afflictions) will still require java ability, but you should be able to do most of what you want easily.

1. Would be best done by a bot that would not be part of the shoddy code.
2. Many things are viewable in SB1, and I thinkSB2 will expand upon this.
3. Could prove annoying especially on slower internet connections (my shoddy often freezes for a few moments when I open a browser), and its easy enough to just have smogon open and type in the Pokemon you want to check mod battle.

This is not part of the shoddy code, but a feature that is set up by the person who runs the server. If a large number of people show interest in a metagame then it is probable that the Smogon SB2 server will cater for them (so long as its an official metagame, doubt we will be getting a random ladder any time soon). However, this issue is not relevant to the SB2 code nor this thread.

1) see last answer
2) from the OP:

Quote:

The program is internationalisable (there will be a file containing string literals that can be modified to translate the program).

Yes, it will be available in any language that there are people willing/able to translate to.

blizzcano320 · Nov 5th, 2009, 5:14:25 PM

Too many pages.
Ah well, I read about the first 5 pages.
Everything seems to be going up for the program.
6 vs. 6 will be fun.
I only wish I could be more involved. I am a regular 14 year-old with little access to tech and probably won't be able to go to any real life tournaments anytime soon. Sucks
Sigh...

There is a reason for this. If this weren't the case, my 2400 Ladder Rating would never have gone down and good luck beating it, granted it was a glitch. If it didn't gradually go down the ratings would be more like a record book or the high score at an arcade. Why credit someone with a rating if they can't hold it?

marter · Nov 5th, 2009, 10:13:08 PM

If I have already changed all the sprites in Shoddy Battle, will I be able to use the same sprites, or will I have to change them all again?

Kumar628 · Nov 6th, 2009, 12:12:18 PM

Will it be possible to team up with another player's 3 pokemon and battle one other person or two other people who also carry 3 & 3 pokemon? I would love that!

Ah, ok. Thanks. :)
I really like how customizable this is. I hope one day the engine is used for an honest to god fanmade RPG. (That, you know, isn't one of those crappy eclipse-based MMOs)
