According to this, I shouldn't need to use an admin account to run the program. I've already looked through the help threads, but cannot find an answer. How can I fix this problem? (I'm using Windows XP, btw.)From Shoddy Battle download page said:After the program finishes downloading, you will be presented with a warning dialogue. This dialogue is simply asking for permission to run the program as a normal application program, as opposed to a typical Java applet running in a sandbox. It it not asking for anything above the privileges of your user account. In particular, it is not asking to run as an administrator. (Shoddy Battle does not require that you are an administrator.) If you are fine with running the program, choose Run.
The name you are trying to register is probably already taken. Try registering another different name.
I have limited (compared to other users on this forums) understanding of computers but you I am pretty sure you would have to reinstall Shoddy (and possibly Java in general) from that user account, because Shoddy isn't your "average" program, but instead is a Java... thing, and such... things usually reference stuff that is saved in your User folders, meaning any other account would not be able to launch the program because they would not be able to find all the requirements.So... I downloaded the client from an admin account and tested that it is functional on that account and it worked out perfectly fine. I could make a team and battle people.
However, switching to my user account, I try to run the client and after a little bit of loading from Java 6, I get a pop-up saying "Unable to launch application".
According to this, I shouldn't need to use an admin account to run the program. I've already looked through the help threads, but cannot find an answer. How can I fix this problem? (I'm using Windows XP, btw.)
Thanks! All help appreciated.
Once you have successfully connected to Smogon University's Shoddybattle Server, which is named simply "Smogon University" on the server list... yeah this is a lot easier to explain with pictures and directions then just simply trying to describe everything in words (and I just wanted to use Paint):How do I start laddering?
You use the team builder.I need to know, how can one edit/add moves, abilities, and/or Pokemon onto Shoddy? Like for an example, what would I need to do in order to change Sword Dance from a stat increasing move into an attacking move?
The short answer is it depends on who you play (ie their ranking), as well as your battle history. If your average points per win is starting to decline it means you have established a consistent history of wins... this is normal.why is it that when I win, sometimes I gain four or five points,
and today (in Ubers) I am gaining one point when I win, losing 2 or three?
:(
I'm having the exact same problem... I've changed my Java Preferences from Java SE 6 (64-bit) to J2SE 5.0 (64-bit) and it still doesn't work... My friends, who also use MacBooks, don't have this problem but I do. It worked fine last year, too.When I am challenged to, or when I challenge someone else to, a Random Battle, I accept the invite, but the battle never starts. Has anyone else had this issue?
I know I have asked this before, but I'm not getting any response :(
No. The US Arceus is still at Level 100 and thus has the same EV limitation that the Japanese one did (only up to 100 in each stat from vitamins). Shoddy Battle 1 doesn't support this, so until SB2 comes out, it's still barred from play.Also, since no one answered my questions last time:
1. Is Arceus allowed in Uber play now that you can obtain it legally in the US?
That wasn't his question. He was asking how to edit the pokemon/moves themselves. Like, if he wanted Explosion to work like Bellydrum or something.You use the team builder.
From the chat window: Go to file>open team>find your team on your computer>then start editing it.
Or, from the list of servers: Team builder tab>edit team>find your team>start editing.

Well, I've tried everything else, so trying this might fix the issues I've been having with Shoddy. The problem is this: I can't figure out for the life of me how to change my Java preferences. Apparently, the answer is actually so obvious that there is no information on this that I am finding that will answer my question.Thanks for your reply, I have found the problem...
You must use Java SE6 (32-Bit) to make it work.
You are on a Mac, yes? Do a spotlight search for "Java Preferences" (w/o the speech marks, obvs.). If nothing happens, then go to <Computer Name> / Macintosh HD (Or your name for it) / Applications / Utilities. It will be in there.Well, I've tried everything else, so trying this might fix the issues I've been having with Shoddy.

Thank you.
IIRC, Shoddy is a .jnlp file. I believe this will open with Java Web Start (or at least it does on a Mac).I tried saving it, but Windows doesn't know what file type Shoddy is. Help?
What I do is rename the file so that it has the file extension .doc. If your filename is for example, log, rename it log.doc. It should now open in Word or a similar program.How do you view logs that you won in Shoddy Battle? I could save logs, but I have no idea how to view them.
If you were banned for 6 days, then you cannot go on for 6 days. Simple as that. Although, I believe Smogon has a few active Shoddy mods so you could ask them, but the most likely outcome is that you will stay banned for 6 days.What happens if you were banned for no reason for 6 days? I was not on chat but I want to play now, How do I get back on? It says contact admin but I don't know how.
