No.

When I try to go to shoddybattle.com, I get a blank page, or I get redirected to Google. What's wrong?

30% paralysis chance

[Lord Jesseus]

That's secret power. Nature power uses a different attack like Earthquake or Shadow Ball. I think it's Earthquake but I'm not really sure what terrain it counts as on Shoddy.

[kstunner]

is there any ranking system on shoddy?

Tri-Attack, since it uses building terrain, which is what would be used in wifi

[garchomp09]

What do you do if you run shoddy and it says "Unable to load application"?

[gary the gengar]

what type does a pokemon using camoflague become?

[Pink]

On the NU server, the right side of the opponent's sprite sometimes gets cut-off. Examples, Poliwrath's Fist, Gligar's Claw, Rapardos's tail... Is this just NU server, or is it all servers? And if it's just NU, is there a fix?

[Arroyo1291]

umm i'm really bad with computers and when i download it it says windows needs to find a program to read jnlp files or something like that. i downloaded the latest version of java and it still gives me the same notice. anyone know the correct program to fix this problem?

[Bass]

You will need Java Web Start to open .jnlp files. It should be installed if you have the latest version of java. The problem then, from my understanding, is that you haven't properly associated javaws with the .jnlp file extension.

Since you are using windows, it's normal to see the notice you are talking about when you are opening a jnlp file for the first time. There should be an option to select from a list of programs to open up the file. javaws should be on the list.

[Arroyo1291]

cool ill check it out now. thank you. ill reply again if theres any more problems.

What file needs to be edited to change the banned list on laddering.

Ladder Banlists can be modifiied via ladders.txt

It should say...
LADDER: Standard
*Banlist*

Simply add the pokemon you want to the banlist, save, and restart. Should work. To add a new ladder, just punch in...

LADDER: New Ladder Name
*Banlsit *

Hope I helped.

EDIT: Ladders.txt can be found in the 'server' folder in the ShoddyBattle folder.

I can download Shoddy from the official site, but I can't use it. It says I need to find the appropriate program in order to run it? Help please?

I have Windows by the way.

is there any specific etiquette after a game?

I think the polite thing to do is say gg, which stands for good game. It shows you're not a poor sport. But you can do whatever you want, it doesn't really matter.

[Lord Jesseus]

To me it seems meaningless though. Most people leave before you can say it anyway.

[Delta 2777]

Is there any way to reset a ladder ranking on an account, or completelly delete the account altogether?

[ShadowMaster]

Delta, no there isn't anyway to do either of those things. Sorry. :(
