Some raw data to maybe give someone better with numbers a chance at figuring out how the XP ties into stats.

Level 87 Gadgeteer<br>
Str: 983 (808)<br>
Int: 1180 (937)<br>
Ref: 2073 (1520)

All +XP effects have been factored out for the numbers below.

Jellyfish Bot: 1469, 1469, 1723, 1836, 1751, 1667

Delta Queen: 1949, 1695, 1780, 1638, 1638

Squid Bot: 1723, 1780, 1921, 1723

Rho Master: 1695, 1780, 1582, 1751, 1836, 1695, 1723

Aquatic Landshark Bot: 1610, 1921, 1864, 1582, 1893

Bass Bot: 1780, 1667, 1949, 1780, 1582, 1780

Upsilon-Iota Bot: 1723, 1497, 1780, 1751

Prowler: 1723, 1638, 1780

From yamum:
i took a look at your post on Quadrant Delta-Delta-Delta Force. i believe it is poosible that the XP range could be avg stats to highest/main stat based on your results. i believe the range also to be sort of a personal XP cap.

This seems to jive with my gains, more or less. All of the numbers fit that range, but I think there might be some kind of variable, as I haven't broken 2000 yet. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

For what it is worth, I did about 50 turns in Delta-Delta-Delta and gained an average of about 550 XP. My stats are:

Lvl 66<br>
Str 458 (416)<br>
Int 682 (505)<br>
Rfl 404 (384)<br>

I will collect 40 observations in this same format when I get some time over the weekend and then we can try to build a regression model to tease out the logic. I would be helpful to have observations from more people though so if others could post 40 observations like Cristiona did that would be very helpful.
Hodag

I asked Ryme, and all the bots should be the same, so we'll only need to record XP gains, not which robot gives which. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

I did a comparison between Delta-Delta and the Fiendish Pit. I started with the following stats:

Lvl 66<br>
Str 458 (416)<br>
Int 581 (505)<br>
Rfl 404 (384)<br>

and burned 50 turns off in each zone. What I found was:

Delta 30,537 points / 50 turns = 610.74 points average
Pit 28,042 points / 50 turns = 560.84 points average

That is somewhat different from my earlier test where I only got 550 points in Delta. The only noticable difference was that my intelligence was lower (682 vs 581) but that would suggest the lower your stats, the higher your points! I will continue to collect some more data points and see what happens. I am not happy with the number of observations just yet.

Hodag:

Just mass-used 1000 [[cup of herbal tea|cups of herbal tea]]. Aside from feeling that my character ''really'' needs to go to the bathroom, there's nothing to show for it. Similarly, using up 7 [[lack of pies|lacks of pies]] resulted in nothing. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 23:26, 15 December 2007 (MST)
:Do we know that 666 of pit items, or 52+ playing cards do nothing? It would seem so from conversations in the chat, but I haven't been around long enough to get that far myself. [[User:Energythief|Energythief]]
::Questionaro had 1791 skulls and 5392 claws the last time he was asked. Also, a few people used 54+ cards when they got introduced.--[[User:Starker|Starker]] 14:48, 18 December 2007 (MST)

Based on the number "2" on the delayed gratification merit badge, I was curious if going through more than two levels immediately would be worth a badge. Unfortunately, going up five levels without leaving the training screen doesn't seem to merit a badge. I already had the delayed gratification badge. --[[User:Wiggy Stardust|Wiggy Stardust]] 21:01, 18 December 2007 (MST)

Also probably been done, but what about rolling through 2 nights? Friday all the way through end of Saturday? [[User:Energythief|Energythief]]

I tried having as many buffs as I could get, having 777, 7777, 1337, 31337 and 123456 chips and running away 100 times. Nothing =[ [[User:Volatile Serenity|Valentine]] 14:51, 30 December 2007 (MST)

No badge for 10, 15, or 20 [[pinata|pinatas]]. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 22:29, 31 December 2007 (MST)
* Nor for using 5, 10, 15, or 20 pinatas, and by extension, having 600 minutes of the effect. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

No badge for having more than 5000 turns worth of an aura, or for having every available car in the garage (incl. while walking or selecting a non-car vehicle.) --Mallomar

No badge for knocking on a [[Flak helmet]] twenty times. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

i heard a rumor from swampninja, about there possibly being a badge for having 888,888,888,888 chips. i do realize that it would be near to imposable to get that, but it might be there to find a chip bug. the thought is that 888 bill chips would be the cap, and upon visiting the hero's guild you would loose it all and Ryme would receive a message about it. (like the KOL chip sinks) --[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 19:01, 9 January 2008 (MST)

I'm pretty sure that's a really false false rumor. I bet I could get confirmation on this one with Ryme, as it's pretty ridiculous.
:Yeah, I'd have to agree that that's false. It sounds way over-the-top, even for Ryme. {{User:Zelandoni/sig}} 22:26, 9 January 2008 (MST)

Also, Swampninja is a known asshat. That is all. - Satan

No improved Delayed Gratification for 5 levels (Levels 20-21, 21-22, 22-23, 23-24 and 24-25) - Cornuthaum
:*Nor for 9. Levels 15 to 24. --[[User:Valera|Valera]] 12:48, 23 January 2008 (MST)

You cannot roll through two nights unless you save up a bunch of levels since you can only rest for 21 hours before staring Frayday. I went 28.5 hours but no badde.

In the realm of collecting, 1000 smuggler's boxes don't yield a badge (or when opened) and I personally collected 700+ pearls of wisdom and 90+ harbor pearls. I did get very clean swimming around Porcelain Bay however :-) Dogbonius drank 100 bottles of Guatemalan pepper juice and failed. Questionario says that he accumulated 10,000 claws and 3,000 skulls from the pit but no badge for that either. Also, collecting one of every available transport did not yield a badge, at least before the Jetpack arrived. - Hodag

Satan would've had that transportation one as well. Just sayin'. --[[User:MagiNinjA|<font color=#701337><b>MN (#228)</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:MagiNinjA|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/MagiNinjA|C]])</small> 18:38, 26 January 2008 (MST)

Also, 5k ASX chips do not make a badge as well.

Pretty sure we knew this, but going from 6pm until 8:28pm the next day (26 hours) doesn't give one either. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Has anyone waited until they were 1 million exp past the level they wanted to go up? [[User:Zillow|Zillow]]

Level 50 is roughly 1.2 million XP. I currently have 2.7 million. I think I'm there. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Attempted 13 dark arts, and due to reversals in the location, also tried 31 dark arts. However, I don't remember how many minutes of daze I was up to. - eight bit hero

Ryme mentioned in chat that someone has earned one of the undiscovered badges but hasn't gone to the guild and received it yet.--[[User:Lazyfire|Lazyfire]] 00:10, 3 February 2008 (MST)
*Since Mad Hamish is past 10,000 ASX chips, I'm betting he's the one. [[User:Sefer|Sefer]] 11:24, 3 February 2008 (MST)

It's not MH. He already check at 10 k ASX, and he goes to the guild frequently as he transmogrifies just about every day. Also, a detail that was left out is that this was the first merit badge Ryme ever put in, which means there's no way it'd be ASX anyways. - Satan
*Huh. That at least means it might be more interesting to get. I'm hoping it's not Cristiona being past 3 million XP; I'm assuming she'd check at that point too.
**I check several times each day, which is why I found the level 50 badge so quickly. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Has anyone used alts to test and see if you get a badge for being inactive a certain number of days? Alternately, do we know what the max amount of time saved up is, and whether there's a badge for having that and being extremely well rested?
:Taking an account that hasn't logged in since before Christmas (lump of coal message appeared when I logged in), going straight to the Hero's Guild... nothing. Bedtime: 3:00am (~252 turns left) [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

Logging in with my multi with 320 turns and visited the Hero's Guild right away, nothing. [[User:chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]

Let's get some merit badge talking going! I am currently looking for the last badge that Ryme has released. The only hint he gave is that he doesn't think anyone will find it. [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 12:59, 7 March 2008 (MST)

27 [[lost soul|lost souls]] used, one at a time and no badge. Darn. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]] 07:28, 11 March 2008 (MST)

Cristiona: Where do you guys get the idea for the number of items needed? [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 11:42, 11 March 2008 (MST)

I heard there are 18 badges now, we have 6 more to find! [[User:Hero of the universe|Hero of the universe]] 12:12, 4 April 2008 (MST)

No badge for a bad gambling habit. I just "used" over 400 lottery tickets and no badge. - Hodag

=== Welding ===

Various items can be created by welding parts together on your [[workbench]]. In addition to the components listed below, the hero also needs a [[welding torch]] and some [[solder]], both available from [[Lieutenant A.E.P. Bazooko's Military Surplus]]. One solder is used if the welding has a valid product.

=== Computers & Software ===

There are two computers that can be constructed depending on the components available and whether your hero has [[Supercomputer Skills]]. These are assembled and used in the [[Computer Lab]]. Even super heroes need help once in a while, so be sure to pick up a copy of the [[Electronic computer instructions]] or the [[Positronic computer instructions]], both available from [[Aaron's All-Night Electronics]].

*[[Financial spreadsheet code]]
*[[Physiology scan code]]
*[[Signal processing code]]
*[[Statistical analysis code]]

These codes may then be combined to form [[software]], which (mostly) have continuing effects:

Virtual Reality Gaming Center

2008-02-22T13:57:37Z

Hodag: Clarification on XP gains

The attendant on duty at the Virtual Reality Gaming Center approaches and informs you that they've got three basic types of games: flight simulators, empire-building strategy games, and sports games. Each game costs '''100 chips''' for '''10 minutes''' of play.<br>
=Flight Simulator (10 min)=

When you choose to '''Play the Flight Simulator''', you will get one of the following outcomes:

<hr>

You play the flight simulator for a while. You zip through the skies like a bird. And not one of those pathetic flightless birds, either. You gain '''39 - 286 XP.'''

or

You play the flight simulator for a while. Initially you're doing pretty well, but then one of your opponents shoots you out of the sky. It's frustrating, but it teaches you a thing or two about strategy. You gain '''1 Intellect point.'''

or

You play the flight simulator for a while. A wild and crazy dogfight ensues where you shoot everyone out of the sky. Yes, even yourself. It's tricky, but with some effort you pull it off. You gain '''1 Reflex point.'''

or

You play the flight simulator for a while. You spend the time working on precision flying. Eventually you learn how to buzz so close to the flight tower you can hear the controllers inside shout "Maverick!" You gain '''1 Reflex point.'''

<hr>

After 3-6 turns, you will advance to the next Flight Bracket.
'''You just hit Flight Bracket ''X''!'''

Somehow you manage to open a bonus round with a chance to win a prize. After ten minutes of shooting like crazy, it turns out the prize is a can of energy drink, cross-promoted between the game maker and a beverage company.

You get an item: '''[[Bray energy drink]].'''

You have also acquired a new skill:
'''[[Passable Pilot]]''' (Flight Bracket 1 only)

=Empire Building game (10 min)=

When you choose to play '''Empire Building game''', you will get one of the following outcomes:

<hr>

You play the empire strategy game for a while. You build your own little city of Virtual Rome, and then while you're there you do as Virtual Romans do. You gain '''40-165 XP.'''

or

You play the empire strategy game for a while. You spend the time managing several construction projects, which mostly means running back and forth between disasters. That takes quite a bit of stamina! You gain '''1 Strength point.'''

or

You play the empire strategy game for a while. Using the time allotted you managed to set up a railroad monopoly which uses its empty cars to give settlers roller-coaster rides as you take them along the old Oregon Trail. That's what we call thinking outside the box. You gain '''1 Intellect point.'''

or

You play the empire strategy game for a while. In just ten short minutes you manage to bend an entire galactic civilization to your will. Starcraft Ho! You gain '''1 Intellect point.'''

<hr>

After 3-6:
'''You just hit Empire Bracket X!'''

When you're done, the store manager pulls you aside and says, "You don't know this, but we've been tying your game performance to real-world stock market. You just made our company 1,750,000-2,410,000 chips! As as sign of appreciation, we'd like to give you a cut as commission." The manager hands you an envelope.

Inside is '''175-241 chips.''' That's a lame commission, you think, but it's better than nothing.

=Virtual Sports (10 min)=

When you choose to '''Virtual Sports''', you will get one of the following outcomes:

<hr>

You play the virtual sports game for a while. You play a speed round of golf and then try out curling. Someone tries to tell you neither of those are sports, but you don't listen to them. You gain '''40-170 XP.'''

or

You play the virtual sports game for a while. Looking for something different, you enter a virtual "World's Strongest Hero" competition. There's a lot of grunting involved, meaning you gain '''1 Strength point.'''

or

You play the virtual sports game for a while. For variety you load an ultimate frisbee program. You're surprised to find it requires more running than even soccer. You gain '''1 Strength point.'''

or

You play the virtual sports game for a while. You load the ping-pong program. For a real challenge, you play two different opponents at once. You gain '''1 Reflex point.'''

<hr>

After 3-6:
'''You just hit Sports Bracket X!'''

Surprisingly, you just got the high score in the game. As a prize, you're given a bottle of energy drink to help you properly rehydrate after your intense effort.

You get an item: '''[[Scalpel energy drink]].'''

=References=
The idea of a virtual reality game actualy being reality in The Empire Building Game may be a referenece to the novel Ender's Game, where the main character, Ender, controls a fleet of ships and destroys an alien colony when he thinks he is training for the same battle.

=Note=
The maximum XP gained is linked to the hero's level. Playing with a high level character generates XP gains that are multiples of what is shown above (i.e. 800XP on a single turn).

Sockin' it to 'Em

2008-02-19T22:57:04Z

Hodag: Added note

Here come the judge! And right behind it come the jury and the executioner, ready to lay down some serious punishment onto criminals everywhere.

=== Effect ===
+10 physical attack damage
== Obtained From ==
Using a [[lost sock]] [[Image:lost-sock.gif]] or having one returned to you.
== Notes ==
Reference is to "Sock it to me", a recurring gag line from the NBC Television show "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in", circa 1967, as is the reference to "Here come the judge" a skit performed by Sammy Davis Jr.

Talk:Remainder cell phone

2008-02-16T15:49:13Z

Hodag:

I don't really understand this. Does this GIVE me extra time, or ACTUALLY make the turn longer, so I have less overall? [[User:Dboojie.com|Dboojie.com]] 08:11, 16 February 2008 (MST)
:Makes the turn take longer. "+30 seconds to the duration of each turn" seems pretty clear. If your turns normally last 5 minutes, "+30 seconds to the duration of each turn" would make each turn take 5.5 minutes. [[User:Cristiona|Cristiona]]

What Cristiona said. When you are early in the game and have not met Susan Novak, it may give a slight advantage. Later when your standard turn takes 4.5 minutes, you get an extra 13% XP but you use up an extra 12.5% of your time each turn so it is practically a wash. Personally, I think you are better conserving time and using the extra turns since you might also get chip drops or other goodies that you would otherwise miss. The phone also takes up an inventory slot that can be put to better use. -Hodag

Talk:Heroic Recycler

2008-02-07T15:31:11Z

Hodag:

Mad Hamish has this badge. Anyone know how he got it? Maybe all the times he's restarted at level 1?

Other recycling-themed ideas: have a certain number of flyers/paper mache/pinatas or protest signs/kindling/weird sculptures?

100 turns visiting the trash bin out back failed to yield the badge. [[User:Dadaca|Dadaca]]

I got 25 adventures where I recycled in my neighborhood and still no badge. I bet it just takes more times to get it. [[User:Dadaca|Dadaca]]

I got 37 recycle adventures in the neighborhood and also no badge, so it's >37 so far... [[User:Skysurfer|Skysurfer]]

Perhaps you need to assemble a certain range items that are comprised of junk you have found laying around. Since there are only a limited number of items you can assemble at lvl 1, it should not be hard to figure this one out. - Hodag

Updates Archive

2008-01-28T21:32:16Z

Hodag:

'''Back to [[Main_Page|main page]]'''

'''01-28-08''' I made a small but disastrous error which gave everyone millions of chips. I had to roll everyone's chips back to their total from last night at rollover. Everything else should be untouched. I'm working on ways to try to be fair to anyone who may have lost chips because of this.

'''01-26-08''' Some changes to the auction house. Sellers can delist an item if nobody has bid on it yet. However, sellers can no longer bid on their own auctions. They can, however, take an item at the buy-it-now price, if one has been specified. Also, there are now minimum bid increments in the auction house, as a function of price--I'm skeptical they'll help much, but a lot of people asked for them, so I've added them. The minimum increase is shown in the Notes column on the right.

'''01-22-08''' There's protection in the Rock Paper Scissors code so that if you accidentally click away in the middle of a game you can return to the casino and finish the game. That's better treatment than most non-seedy casinos will give you!

'''01-21-08''' Long rollover tonight, while the tech support guys make a change and reboot the server. Probably will last 20 minutes or so.

'''01-21-08''' There's a new store in the rooftops for those who have it unlocked. Might be a handy option for some folks.

'''01-19-08''' It's been a cruel, cruel winter, and apparently that's made me a cruel, cruel game designer. One of the necessary ingredients for today's mystery puzzle wasn't dropping properly, and I missed it. I can't tell you how bad I feel about this. The new item is available from a man with a sword--either of two different men with swords, actually. I'm giving an extra hour to everyone at rollover for some wasted turns.

Also, unrelated to this, each day will now start at 6 p.m. instead of 7. It's not giving you extra time, but it means you can squeeze in more turns before it's time for work, or not have quite so many pile up for Frayday.

'''01-18-08''' Okay, so the item assembling puzzle is afoot! Remember the 48-hour no-spoiler rule, please. Also, the /r function in chat now works - it sends a PM to the last person you sent a PM to.

'''01-16-08''' There's something new out there you can do with your computers. (Not terribly original, but new.)

'''01-13-08''' If you've finished the university quest, Susan Novak is now visitable any time. She doesn't have much to say at the moment, though.

'''01-13-08''' Your journal now has an other notes section to list some of your non-quest accomplishments.

'''01-11-08''' A few leaderboards are now available in the Bayside area of town, at the Starboard Port.

'''01-09-08''' Also just a little teaser: on Jan 18 (so rollover on Friday going into Saturday) I'll open up an in-game puzzle of sorts involving assembling a mystery item.

'''01-09-08''' I've set it up so that auctions which go to their full duration also send the results (items or chips) to the appropriate parties via an in-game message. I don't intend to keep it this way permanently, but this gives me better record keeping to check for any bugs that may occur. If anyone notices any funniness (we're talking stuff that's not ha-ha funny), please let me know.

'''01-07-08''' - They've been too small to announce individually, but more than a dozen new items and a few effects and whatnot have gone into the game over the last week or two. Mostly additions to older zones and recipes and such. Also, outboxes now display the name and picture of the sent item instead of just the item number.

'''12-29-07''' - The way critical hits and fumbles are calculated (and described on items) has been changed.<BR><BR>
'''12-26-07''' - A number of foes have either elemental resistances or elemental weaknesses.<BR><BR>
'''12-24-07''' - Merry Christmas, everybody. I know I said I wasn't going to do it, but there's a little something waiting in your stocking for you.<BR><BR>
'''12-23-07''' - Fixed the bug where the wolf/buffalo weren't scaring each other off if someone else buffed you. Also caught a server clock issue that was causing auctions to end two hours prematurely.
<br><br>
'''12-22-07''' - A small (but fun!) set of items/mechanic has been added.
<br><br>
'''12-21-07''' - There's a new zone tucked away in there somewhere.<br><Br>
'''12-17-07''' - The game no longer burns a turn if you visit a place with nothing to do (like the beach when you can't go under water), or if you accidentally end up someplace you shouldn't be (double-clicking a choice adventure).<br><br>
'''12-14-07''' - The bugs causing you to be able to fumble when you shouldn't fumble should now be fixed.<br><br>
'''12-10-07''' - The 3-day auction has been returned to the auction house.<br><br>
'''12-02-07''' - The auction house has been updated to show a) auctions that you have running and b) open auctions for which you have the highest bid. The auction house also now shows how many bids an item has received.<br><br>
'''11-28-07''' - Fixed the bug that was preventing the main map from giving you any pending buffs.<br><br>
'''11-27-07''' - The level 5 quest has been implmented. See Rand for details.
<br><br>
'''11-24-07''' - Rather than completely rewriting chat, I'm hoping I can adjust it incrementally. I've added multiple channels and reduced the font a little--hopefully both will make it seem less crowded.<br><br>
'''11-21-07''' - By popular demand the Auction House now sorts items in each category alphabetically. Additionally, auction durations have been shortened to 1, 3, 12, and 24 hours, and the estimated "time left" has been fine-tuned a bit. Also, caught a time bug which was causing evening auctions to end half a day early.<br><br>
'''11-19-07''' - Oh no! [[Captain Buzzkill]] has broken out of jail and is threatening the entire city with an unhappiness machine that he's set up in [[St. Anne Park]] in [[Downtown Twilight]]. Only you can help!<br><br>
'''Nov 18:''' There's now an FAQ section in the Game Manual.<br><br>
'''Nov 15:''' Terribly sorry, but a massive security hole blitzed everyone's inventory. I've had to roll back to last night, meaning anything since yesterday's rollover has been lost. I'll be sure to reinstate any donation items as soon as I can, but everything else will be lost, unfortunately. Again, my apologies.<br><br>
'''Nov 14:''' All of you who had computers stuck decrypting something should have been given the effect to get it unstuck. Please send me an in-game message if I missed you, or a very detailed message if it happens again.<br><br>
'''Nov 14:''' I posted in the forums but forgot to mention here: rollover has been changed to 11:10 Eastern time (that's GMT -5, I believe). Yesterday, because of some issues with the server clock, it went off two hours early.<br><br>
'''Nov 8:''' Sorry to say this, but I had to put the game on pause until I can get the new servers going. I received 150 bug reports today, of which all but a handful were directly related to the lag, and the 500 errors are getting ridiculous. The longer I let this go, the more time I'll have to spend cleaning up screwy results, and I don't think anyone wants that. Hopefully it'll just be a couple of days, and then you can get back in and make up for lost time on the new servers. Thanks for your patience.<br><br>
'''Nov 8:''' Twilight Heroes: now with [http://www.twilightheroes.com/testimonials.php testimonials].
<br><br>
'''Nov 6:''' Sorry for the outage, folks. I wanted to try pushing a few changes that might reduce the load on the server. Not sure if it's going to help much, but it's worth a shot. Also, I've been alerted that the 500 errors are eating chips if you gamble. It's not going to be a quick fix, so please note for the moment that you're gambling at your own risk.
<br><br>
'''Nov 6:''' Just wanted to affirm a couple of things. 1) I know the lag is horrible. I'm working on it. There's more in the forums if you want details. 2) Please don't report slowness or 500 errors -- they're simply a side effect of the lag. 3) Chat is having lots of trouble and needs more channels -- it's my next priority after the lag. 4) I'm reading all other bug reports and messages, but they come in slowly, and for the most part, unless they're breaking the game I won't be able to do anything about them until after lag and chat are fixed, but I will read them at some point. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
<br><br>
'''Nov 2:''' Some foes now have elemental attacks, so you can put that elemental resistance to good use! Also, elemental resistance caps at 50% reduction.
<br><br>
'''Oct 31:''' November's Item of the Month is available in the Wok of Stars in Somerset Square. For this month only, since it's a new thing, the IotM will remain in the store for two months (so through the end of December).
<br><br>
'''Oct 31:''' Hey, look! It's a web-based superhero computer game! In the style of such classics as Kingdom of Loathing, Galaxy of Fear, and Restaurant at the End of Las Vegas!
<br><br>
''A Few Updates are missing here''
<br><br>
'''Sept 17:''' If all goes well, we're going to have a proper rollover tonight, with a forced logout and that most hated of all things known as maint.php.
<br><br>
'''Sept 16:''' Talons of the Raptor has been significantly improved.
<br><br>
'''Sept 15:''' There's a new area to explore in Bayside. (And before anyone asks, yeah, I'll try to rework the nav to fit it in.)
<br><br>
'''Sept 11:''' Clicking on an effect listed in the left-hand pane will now pop up a description of that effect. (Or a description of the skill, if the effect comes from a skill.)
<br><br>
'''Sept 11:''' A number of VR Center-related issues have been fixed.
<br><br>
'''Sept 10:''' Getting beaten up now comes with the possibility of a few more serious consequences.
<br><br>
'''Sept 9:''' A lot of foes have had their stats slightly retooled to fit a more balanced progression of difficulty. Foes at higher levels may be a bit tougher--not sure how noticeable the effect will be.
<br><br>
'''Sept 8:''' There's a couple more late-night additions also listed in the same post below.
<br><br>
'''Sept 8:''' I've made a number of small updates which are listed for brevity's sake on [http://twilightheroes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=798#798 this forum post].
<br><br>
'''Sept 5:''' Hey, sorry for the long slow quiet month and a half. I think I've got stuff in order so that I can start making progress again. Also, I'm setting a date for the game going beta: October 31, 2007. See [http://twilightheroes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=772#772 more details here].
<br><br>
'''July 16:''' Added roughly a metric ton (in other words, about 20) of foe and adventure images today. I think there's only one or two still missing images--if you see any that are broken, please let me know.
<br><br>
'''July 10:''' A handful of foes got non-generic hit/miss messages today. In addition, a slightly larger handful of different critters got pictures today.
<br><br>
'''July 9:''' Also caught a whole bunch of bugs that were probably keeping most skills that give effects from registering properly. These should all be fixed now.
<br><br>
'''July 9:''' A bug in the sleeping draught is fixed. Also, I've been going through the foe and item descriptions, adding them where none existed and improving some of the weakest ones. I think I've gotten them all now, and I feel I can safely declare the game at a minimum 1% funnier!
<br><br>
'''July 2:''' Thanks to oodleook for catching that some of the healing skills weren't working. They should be fixed now.
<br><br>
'''June 30:''' Also, I've changed my name again. (I know, because it wasn't confusing enough last time). I swear it's the last time though. Probably. Anyway, you can find me in-game or on the forums as Ryme now.
<br><br>
'''June 30:''' I'm done with the massive invisible updates. As far as I can tell, everything is working exactly the way it used to, but now with about one hundredth of the load on the server on pages where skills were involved. If anything seems to be working improperly, please let me know, but for now it ought to be safe to get back in the water.
<br><br>
'''June 29:''' Good news: I fixed a bug that made every turn consume twice as much time as it should have. Bad news: I'm in the middle of a complicated changeover on the effects, and it's likely that things are really messed up right now. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
<br><br>
'''May 13 2007:''' I'm not done, but there are some penalties now for being beaten up.
<br><br>
Also, as of rollover tonight, auctions older than 1 week old will be deleted. Once the game gets busy, I'll probably shorten this, but in the meantime that should be enough time to use as a reference.
<br><br>
Also also: The Wear Things page is a bit more organized.
<br><br>
Additionally: Lots of new foe pictures today, scattered all over the place.
<br><br>
And finally: The "motorcycle helmet not existing in the game" oversight has been seen to. It's not exciting, but it's something on a Monday morning when there are big real-life things afoot.
<br><br>
'''May 6 2007:''' The item descriptions are now properly randomized to discourage peeking.
In other news, happy birthday to me! I just hit six digits (in binary).
<br><br>
'''May 5 2007:''' There's some non-welding craftable stuff. See your workbench for details.
Don't kill yourself looking for recipes, though, as there probably aren't a
dozen working ones yet. More will come as quickly as I can think them up,
though.
<br><br>
'''May 1 2007:''' Just made a ton of back-end coding streamlining adjustments to the site.
If all went well, you won't even notice anything. But as I touched nearly every
file in the game, if anything goofy shows up please let me know.
<br><br>
'''April 29 2007:''' There's a couple of new items in the military surplus store that might
be worth playing around with (once you go back to your hideout). The content's a
little short on pictures and descriptions, but the functionality is good.
<br><br>
'''April 17 2007:''' We can now accept donations through PayPal. Anyone who donates more
than $5 will receive a fun and useful in-game gift. See the Donate link in the
top navigation once you've logged in.
<br><br>
'''April 17 2007:''' You can now also donate through Amazon.
<br><br>
'''April 14 2007:''' Don't get too excited, but the first half of the computer creation
process stuff is active. You still can't do anything with computers, though.
<br><br>
'''April 10 2007:''' While the player base is still small, I've added a "show all auctions"
feature to the auction house. This will probably go away later when the house
gets big, but for now it's probably useful.
<br><br>
'''April 7 2007:''' As far as I know, all bugs related to the move have been fixed. If
anything isn't right, please let me know.

'''April 7 2007:''' Chat's back up. There's a couple small bugs I still need to fix, but
nothing major. Consider the site back in business! Also, I had to wipe the
forums, and I've set them up so that you have to notify me (Ross) in-game after
you register so that I can let you in. It'll be a pain, but so was the spam.
<br><br>
'''Mar 20 2007:''' And lo! a mighty wind did sweep over the Wear Things page, and the faces
of the powerful equipment became ashen, and were stricken, such that what should
not be worn could not be worn, and it was good.
<br><br>
(In other news, apparently in 12 years of web design I've never used
strike-through text, because I had to look up the HTML code to do it.)
<br><br>
'''Mar 20 2007:''' Just got finished adding some security measures. I think I've tested
everything, but if you run afoul of one of these checks it will force log you
out. Please let me know if you run into anything funny.

'''01-28-08''' I made a small but disastrous error which gave everyone millions of chips. I had to roll everyone's chips back to their total from last night at rollover. Everything else should be untouched. I'm working on ways to try to be fair to anyone who may have lost chips because of this.

'''01-26-08''' Some changes to the auction house. Sellers can delist an item if nobody has bid on it yet. However, sellers can no longer bid on their own auctions. They can, however, take an item at the buy-it-now price, if one has been specified. Also, there are now minimum bid increments in the auction house, as a function of price--I'm skeptical they'll help much, but a lot of people asked for them, so I've added them. The minimum increase is shown in the Notes column on the right.

'''01-22-08''' There's protection in the Rock Paper Scissors code so that if you accidentally click away in the middle of a game you can return to the casino and finish the game. That's better treatment than most non-seedy casinos will give you!

|desc= In your hands you hold a heavily used GooseBerry PDA, product of SketchiTech corp. This model is a few years old, and the memory module has been removed, so when you turn it on you just get a blotchy pattern of dots that look something like a sickly horse. Or maybe it reminds you of the expression on your father's face the day you spilled your banana split all over the seat of his brand new car. You know, maybe you ought to talk to someone about some of those repressed memories.

Anyway, without the memory module this thing doesn't have much value, but if it was patched up you might be able to get some use out of the thing.

=== Computers & Software ===

There are two computers that can be constructed depending on the components available and whether your hero has [[Supercomputer Skills]]. These are assembled and used in the [[Computer Lab]]. Even super heroes need help once in a while, so be sure to pick up a copy of the [[Electronic computer instructions]] or the [[Positronic computer instructions]], both available from [[Aaron's All-Night Electronics]].

*[[City map code]]
*[[Financial spreadsheet code]]
*[[Physiology scan code]]
*[[Statistical analysis code]]

These codes may then be combined to form [[software]]:

there is a [[Special:Version]] page that has the installed information as well --[[User:Deflective|Deflective]] 23:33, 11 December 2007 (MST)
:I see. Thanks. I'm quite new to all of this.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 23:54, 11 December 2007 (MST)

=Thumbnails=
Anybody that knows how to get thumbnails to work on MediaWiki without ImageMagick, please contact me.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 17:49, 11 December 2007 (MST)
: i'm not certain about this but it seems to work for me. if you have access to your '''php.ini''' file then uncomment the line:
:: extension=php_gd2.dll
: and then make sure that '''php_gd2.dll''' exists in your php/ext directory. --[[User:Deflective|Deflective]] 23:33, 11 December 2007 (MST)
::GD works fine. I just don't know the options I need to set with the wiki files to use GD.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 23:59, 11 December 2007 (MST)
: i didn't change any other settings, just made sure that apache was restarted. if that doesn't do it i'm not sure what the fix is. there's [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_thumbnailing#Image_thumbnailing this page] if you haven't seen it yet.--[[User:Deflective|Deflective]] 00:19, 12 December 2007 (MST)
::Yes, I've seen that page and another. Following the directions on it have had us end up with the images as just Image:Wrench2.gif or similar. http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/thumb.php5?f=Wrench2.gif&width=40 gives the error: Error generating thumbnail Error creating thumbnail: Image was not scaled, is the requested width bigger than the source?
::This is what happened before when I tried to turn on thumbnailing.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 00:42, 12 December 2007 (MST)
[[Image:Twilight heroes4.gif | thumb]]
: looks like you got it working. Congrats =) --[[User:Deflective|Deflective]] 00:56, 12 December 2007 (MST)
::Actually, I didn't. Yes, thumbnails will work, but won't use any sort of script. It actually makes a new .gif file when a thumbnail is made. For example, the one you just put thereis located at http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/images/thumb/7/77/Twilight_heroes4.gif/180px-Twilight_heroes4.gif Also, after further consideration, this is fine.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 01:02, 12 December 2007 (MST)

=Firefox search engine=

Trying to add the wiki to search engines in Firefox results in: "Firefox could not download the search plugin from http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/opensearch_desc.php"

The page itself gives "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/content/a/u/s/austindozier/html/th/wiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php5 on line 45"

I'd very much like that feature working.--[[User:Starker|Starker]] 15:25, 12 December 2007 (MST)
*This should work now--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 02:04, 12 December 2007 (MST)
**Still doesn't. Same Firefox error. Other wikis get added just fine.--[[User:Starker|Starker]] 15:25, 12 December 2007 (MST)
***I don't know then. I'll work on that soon. I don't know how to test it really, it just wasn't giving the error anymore, and that's all I knew to go off of.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 18:42, 12 December 2007 (MST)

please add a favicon.ico to the root directory, i pretty much use them exclusively in navigation.

Can we make the images clickable? For example, from the main map you can click "Downtown" and navigate to that page. When you then click "Zion Tears" you get an edit box for the image, if you want to navigate you have to click the blue link text. I think you can do this, but I don't know how to define the coordinates and have not found a wiki language description for this.

Whether you're playing basketball or just traversing some massive underground labyrinth on an obscure asteroid, these boots let you jump higher and farther than you'd normally be able to. The unique feature of these boots isn't the jumping; it's the ability to land safely once you've made the jump.

: Oh, I get it. Each fiend has three adjectives, and each (first, second, third) adjective is taken from a table of adjectives. Each possible fiend's name can be described by three numbers, one for each table. How much you wanna bet the adjectives on the tables are in alphabetical order?

All 4 name parts are used as indexes. Their indexes are not in alphabetical order. - Satan

Since Ryme is a programmer, the drop is probably determined by a simple hash table calculation and here is how it probably works. The program randomly selects an integer from 1 to 9; it does this four times to get each part of the monster name from the four lists. Then the four index values are added to get a hash sum, which in this case must fall in the range from 4 (all ones) to 36 (all nines). '''Any combination of index numbers that sums to the desired hash value should drop the talisman'''.

Depending on the winning hash value Ryme selected, the probability of the drop could be anywhere from low of 0.015% to a high of 7.453% (he could also have programmed multiple winning values such as 4 '''OR''' 36). Given the rarity of this item, the target value(s) is obviously one of the low frequency choices near the top or bottom of the table shown below. For example, if the target hash sum is 5, there are four monster name combinations (out of 6,561 possibilities) that will drop the talisman, while if the value is 6 there are ten combinations, etc.

Unfortunately, knowing the programming technique is just interesting information; that knowledge does not help you get an Abaddon Charm any sooner! If you want the talisman, you have to go to the pit, kill some monsters, and get lucky. - Hodag

Category:Talismans

2007-12-14T01:17:09Z

Hodag:

A '''talisman''' is what makes a superhero a superhero (as opposed to just some clown in a funny costume.) Your talisman determines not only your powers, but also your [[classes|class]]. Talismans can only be changed from your [[hideout]], and when not in use are kept in your tabernacle. Switching talismans costs 10% of your XP. Some Talismans can be [[Transmogrifier|Transmogrified]], at a very high XP cost. Since switching incurs a 10% loss of your present XP, if you want to switch you may want to do it soon after acquiring the new talisman to minimize the loss of points.
