Simple Machines Community Forum

I need some help writing a Mod. Basically I want the following:

-A button like the quote button called "attack" that, when clicked, will run a file (attack.php most likely) that will input your stats and the chosen member's stats into a formula that determines whether your attack hit, missed, watever, and then after that it posts the results of the attack in the thread as an admin and updates the attacked person's HP stat to reflect any damage he may have taken.

I'm not exactly good at this, but I figure it would have to edit the files that show the quote button to add this button, and I'd need to make the file attack.php and put it in Sources.

I assume the Attack.php file would look like a much MUCH better version of this general idea:

---

-Find who you are.
-Find who you "attacked."
-Find your stats "A" and "S" and set them to variables $A and  $S (They are in the Themes table, and are called CP3 and CP5.)
-Find your opponents stats "HP" "D" and "R" and set them to variables $HP, $D and  $R (They are in the Themes table, and are called CP1, CP4 and CP6.)
-Set $N1 and $N2 (random numbers between 1 and 10)

The "battle" part

-$A1=$N1+$S.
-$D1=$R+$N2.
-$A2=$A1+$A.
-$D2=$D1+$D.


-If $A1>$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - ($Ax2). And Print "(You) smashed (opponent) for $Ax2 damage!" As a post in the topic where you attacked him

-Else if $A2>$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - $A. And Print "(You) hit (opponent) for $A damage!" As a post in the topic where you attacked him.

-Else if $A2<$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - ($A-$D ). A-D can't be lower than 0. Then subtract another 1 from their HP. And Print "(You) attacked (Opponent), but they blocked, only taking ($A-$D)+1 damage!" As a post in the topic where he attacked him.

-If $A2<$D1, then Print "(You) attacked (Opponent), but they dodged it!" As a post in the topic where he attacked him.

---

Also, when a member has 0 HP, they get put into a group called Defeated.

And lastly, permissions for the Attack button that allow me to set which groups can use the attack button.
I know this looks daunting, but I really would love the help, as I am unable to figure out PHP enough to do it by myself.

It looks interesting. I whish I had some time to code this. If you want, I can move this to the Mod Requests (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=79.0) board.

yes...i am interested!!

Sure, thank you.

I'd love to get this done, simply because I've seen so many people who want to make RP boards that use stats like this. I already had help and made items that affect the stats, a system for using them (basically the coding above but done IRL by an Admin) and am working on some other things to make the system full automated. Maybe one day soon it'll be one big Mod called Stats or something.

Then come on over to the Dojo (http://www.daisukesdojo.heliohost.org/forum)  and sign up.

Anybody else interested in helping me? I partially coded it, but as of now it has to have numeric input, and it only does the formula, not the posting, HP adjusting, or membergroup changing.

Quote
$A = 8;
$D = 5;
$S = 8;
$R = 7;
$N1 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$N2 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$A1 = $N1 + $S;
$A2 = $A1 + $A;
$D1 = $N2 + $R;
$D2 = $D1 + $D;


//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D < 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D = 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Did we power-hit?
If ($A1 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You smashed your opponent for ' .($A + $A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did we hit?
If ($A2 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You hit your opponent for ' .($A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 < $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 = $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 < $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 = $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}

It's currently set to run in a phpbox in my portal on my homepage, so we can use it to determine the results, but it needs work obviously...

Bump.

And I replaced

Quote//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D < 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D = 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}

With

Quote
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
Else
{
                        $DA = 0;
}

It should work the same, right?

Yes, that would do that.

Okay, then onto the next problem:

How do I pull information from the Database? I have this as the current Attack.php, but it won't work, I believe I messed up the part where it gets the stats from the DB:

Quote<?php

if (!defined('SMF'))
   die('Hacking attempt...');

function Attack()
{
      global $db_prefix, $ID_MEMBER;

   checkSession('get');

$A = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP3' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

$D = 5;
$S = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP7' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");
$R = 7;
$HP = 50;
$N1 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$N2 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$A1 = $N1 + $S;
$A2 = $A1 + $A;
$D1 = $N2 + $R;
$D2 = $D1 + $D;


//Is A-D positive?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//If it's not...
Else
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Did we power-hit?
If ($A1 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You smashed your opponent for ' .($A + $A). ' damage!';

}
else
//Did we hit?
If ($A2 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You hit your opponent for ' .($A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 <= $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 <= $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}
}
?>

Also, I took the "check session" and "If not SMF, die" things from another script because I figured they'd need to be put in eventually.

Find:

$A = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP3' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

$D = 5;
$S = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP7' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

Replace:

$request = db_query("
SELECT value
FROM {$db_prefix}themes
WHERE variable = 'CP3'
AND ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($A) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

$D = 5;

$request = db_query("
SELECT value
FROM {$db_prefix}themes
WHERE variable = 'CP7'
AND ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($S) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

You're awesome Sinan. Works perfectly. I have more I need help with, but I can't really do it piece by piece; I've posted it here somewhere, but I need a button next to "quote" called "attack" that'll run this script when clicked, but take the "attacked" member's D, R.S and HP from the DB and put it into the equation. And I'm sure this part is alot harder than just asking how to do requests for the user's info.

You want a button on every post?

Yes, just like the quote button.

Also, i'm getting an error in this item I made:

Basically, it's supposed to get your Current HP and Max HP, make sure that Current + 30 isn't over your max (If it is, it sets your current to your Max) or add 30 to your current. It says there's an error on line 90, unexpected Else?

About the first issue:

Save your codes  as Attack.php.

../index.php

Find:

'announce' => array('Post.php', 'AnnounceTopic'),

Replace:

'attack' => array('Attack.php', 'Attack'),

../Themes/your_theme/Display.template.php

Find:

// Show online and offline buttons?

Replace:

echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=attack;attacked=' . $message['member']['id'] . ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">[Attack]</a>';

// Show online and offline buttons?

Find:

   checkSession('get');

Replace:

   checkSession('get');

$attacked_id = !empty($_REQUEST['attacked']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['attacked'] : 0;

Then get the info as you did for the others. Just use $attacked_id instead of $ID_MEMBER.

For second;

You should try the SMF Shop support topic.

Is there one here? I tried the SMF Shop forum at daniel15.com, but no one there is ever on.

It's here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=22396.0).

Okay, a few issues:

1. My forum now has huge letters and all the pictures are X's.

2. There is no attack button in any of the posts; going to the action attack action does nothing (I assume because there was no button, the opponents stats aren't there to use.)

3. I WAS supposed to put the checksession code in Attack.php right?

4. Was i supposed to completely erase the announce action?

1) Make sure you applied the edits correctly.

2) There should be in posts, in the profile area of a message, unless you add it in the wrong line.

3) Yes.

4) First edit should be "add after", I missed it. So announce stays there, but you add attack after that.

I think this i swhy I have big text:

QuoteYou have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 5

The message I got when I attacked someone.

You should put these

codes after these

      global $db_prefix, $ID_MEMBER;

I got this error when I did that:

QuoteUnable to load the 'main' template.

Oh, and the big text problem must be in the index.php; I removed it and the problem was fixed.

What did i do wrong :D

Quote// Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).

That is you should have a template file to display something. What do you want it to do/show when somebody attacks another?

Can anyone tell me why my text gets so big? It's got to be something to do with Index.php

When does it get bigger? When you take the change back in index.php, does it show as usual?

I wanted it to show the topic you attacked them in, but I wanted it to post a post in the topic under my name that says the result of the attack.

Isn't there a few lines of code that I can put at the end that will basically do this:

-Get the topic you clicked the button in.
-Post the results of the attack under the user ID of an Admin (myself most likely.)
-Return the attacker to the topic.

Okay, would it be possible to have someone help me with this part? I think if I take the Post and Post2 functions from Post.php, tweak them a little to skip the whole "Locked? Able to reply? quoting?" Etc. and just do the posting and returning to topic, then it'll work like I want it to. I'm going to back up my forum, put it all on my compy, and try it out on EasyPHP. But any advice as to what i need to keep, how to go about it, etc. would be appreciated.

Any help? At all?

Use createPost() (http://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php?action=view_function;id=323) function to create post.

Send the topic id with url and after doing all that, use redirectindex() (http://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php?action=view_function;id=224) to take the user back to topic.

Example:

Url:

' . $scripturl . '?action=attack;attacked=' . $message['member']['id'] . ';topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '

Redirect:

$topic = empty($REQUEST['topic']) ? 0 : (int) $_REQUEST['topic'];
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic);

Like this?:

createPost()

' . $scripturl . '?action=attack;attacked=' . $message['member']['id'] . ';topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '

redirectindex()

$topic = empty($REQUEST['topic']) ? 0 : (int) $_REQUEST['topic'];
redirectexit('topic=' . $topic);

Do i put it into Attack.php?

And how do I set what gets posted? I want it to post the phrases I had it returning.

1) Check how you should use createPost() function here:

http://support.simplemachines.org/function_db/index.php?action=view_function;id=323

2) Use url code I gave for the url of button you add in Display.template.php that you made here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=259616.msg1702666#msg1702666

3) Use the redirect codes I gave at the end of the Attack() function.

Thanks again, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Is there anything I can do to thank you for your help? You've done more to help with my site than anyone else, and I remember you said you were busy, so I really appreciate the time you put into helping me.

Edit: Okay, I'm an idiot at PHP. I have no idea how to set this up... Sorry SiNaN, but can you (yet again) help me? The message to be posted is this:

You smashed your opponent for ' .($A + $A). ' damage!

Also, I need to be able to use this code for all 4 possible outcomes, so would I just have it in each outcome after the "If" check? like

If ($A1 > $D2)
{
                        <CODE HERE>
}

or something like that?

function createPost(&$msgOptions, &$topicOptions, &$posterOptions)
{
global $db_prefix, $user_info, $ID_MEMBER, $txt, $modSettings;

// Set optional parameters to the default value.
$msgOptions['icon'] = empty($msgOptions['icon']) ? 'xx' : $msgOptions['icon'];

$topicOptions['sticky_mode'] = isset($topicOptions['sticky_mode']) ? $topicOptions['sticky_mode'] : null;
$posterOptions['id'] = empty($posterOptions['id']) ? 0 : (int) $posterOptions['id'];
$posterOptions['ip'] = empty($posterOptions['ip']) ? $user_info['ip2'] : $posterOptions['ip'];

I'll have to do it on Monday. Thanks so much! I can't believe it'll finally be done and working! I'll have to add in somewhere to have it reduce the person's HP but that should be easy enough.

I tested this on my forum and it works pretty godd :)

You did? You put in the custom profile mod and everything?

Okay, nest question:

I added the HP part of the codes and the MP part, making the following:

Now, after the set of variables that determine what happens, I want to add an "If" clause that basically checks the following:

-If you're attacking yourself, give a message that says you cant attack yourself.
-If you're attacking a person with 0 HP, you can't attack them.

And the same for the Magical function, but also:

-If $A is greater than your current MP, you can't do it.

But I tried adding them in and I can't seem to make them work, I keep getting Parse Errors complaining about an unexpected t_string after the 'If" clause. Any ideas?

I figured it'd be like these:


\\Check to see if they have enough MP.
if ($MP < $A)
{
$msg = '' .($you). ' tried to magically attack ' .($them). ' but didn't have enough MP!';
}


//Make sure they're not kicking a dead horse.
if (HP = 0)
{
$msg = '' .($you). ' tried attacking ' .($them). ' but you can't attack a dead person!';

Actually, if it went to an error page instead of posting it would be even better.

Quote-If you're attacking yourself, give a message that says you cant attack yourself.

Make this if statement the first:

if($attacked_id == $ID_MEMBER)
   $msg = 'You cannot attack yourself.';

QuoteIf you're attacking a person with 0 HP, you can't attack them.

After the if above, use this if with elseif:

if(empty($HP))
   $msg = 'You do not have enough HP to attack';

Can you show me the codes that give those parse errors?

And what makes the Magical function different? Why don't you use the same?

Quote from: Daisuke_aurora on September 28, 2008, 05:31:19 AM
You did? You put in the custom profile mod and everything?

No, I just tested how the button and Attack.php works.
I could test everything if You tell me what CP fields to add :)

And btw, if a users HP is 0, how does the users get new HP?

The ones I gave were the codes that were causing errors. I assume it was because I was wording them wrong.

The Magic function is just like the attack function, except it takes MP to do it. The drawback is that regular attacks are free, but the bonus is most people expect everyone to use physical attacks, and as a result they often leave their Magic Defense low enough that a Magic attack can hit someone that a Physical attack could not.

Coding-wise, the only real difference is the stats for $A and $D are actually Magic A and Magic D rather than regular A and D, and there is a DB query to reduce the MP of the attacker. However, I was trying to figure out a way to (like the above two) tell a person that thay cannot attack with a magic attack if their MP is less than their Magic Attack. So it'd be kinda like I posted above, I think.

Also, I went and made the following changes to Index.php:


'physicalattack' => array('StatBattle.php', 'Physical'),
'magicalattack' => array('StatBattle.php', 'Magical'),

And to display.template.php:

// StatBattle
echo ' Attack!<br />';
echo ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=physicalattack;attacked=', $message['member']['id'], ';country=', $context['current_board'], ';arena=', $context['current_topic'], ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">[Physical]</a><br />';
echo ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=magicalattack;attacked=', $message['member']['id'], ';country=', $context['current_board'], ';arena=', $context['current_topic'], ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">[Magical]</a><br />';

That way it has 2 actions, physical attack and Magical attack, and displays a button for both.

@ Nascar:

I have to CP fields. If you want to try it out (And i'd be very grateful, as it might help me solve my "big text" problem) add 10 fields and call them out as follows:

CP1: Max HP
CP2: Max MP
CP3: Atk
CP4: Def
CP5: M. Atk
CP6: M. Def
CP7: Spd
CP8: R. Spd
CP9: HP
CP10: MP

And make the changes to the files I mentioned above in this post to add "Physical" and "Magical" attack buttons.

Hey, SiNaN, How'd I do? I really only copied what you did, lol.

Also, I had to make this change to the code you gave me, SiNaN:

if($attacked_id == $ID_MEMBER)
{
$msg = 'You cannot attack yourself!';
$HP2 = 0;
}

elseif(empty($HP))
{
$msg = 'You cannot attack a dead person!';
$HP2 = 0;
}

Without the "$HP2 = 0;" lines, it would give a syntax error when it looked at the HP-changing DB query without having gotten an $HP2.

Okay.
I seams to be working great, but it only says "Your opponent dodged and took no damage!" every time I attack, so I don't know how it removes HP and all of that. :P

Also, I thought that if your users just keep fighting and fighting each topic will be filled up whit messages, which will Be pretty annoying.

The script has been updated to say your name and their name in place of you  and your opponent.

If your stats are too much lower than your opponents, than yes, you'll never hurt them  ;).

Users can only use the attack buttons in threads called PvP threads, and the prupose behind the button is merely to tell the user whether they made a successful attack or not. The users at my site are Role-Players, so by using the attack function to determine whether they hit their opponent or not, they can then write out their action.

Example: Player A uses the attack button, and it says he hits. He writes a post like this:

"Player A draws his trusty pistol and cocks the hammer, firing a shot at the mysterious man in front of him. The bullet tears into his foe's shoulder."

His opponent can respond then by hitting the attack button and seeing what happens, then Posting a response in kind with that.

This goes back and forth until one person gives up or dies, and then the Admin can go back and delete the posts that simply state what hit and missed later, making it much easier to re-read for our other members. And I made a profile called "The Referee" and set his ID to the poster ID so he's the one who makes the posts, so that we can just go back and delete all his posts to clear out the forums.

I can send you the Stat Items I made for the Shop and some basic instructions on how to run it if you'd be interested.

Yes, I'm interested :)

Well, then before running those queries, check if the $HP is empty or not. And also, you can send 'type' with url and do them all with just one function.

For example:

For physical => http://yoursite.com/index.php?action=attack;attacked=3;arena=1;country=6;type=physical
For magical => http://yoursite.com/index.php?action=attack;attacked=3;arena=1;country=6;type=magical

Then at the start of your Attack function:

if(!empty($_REQUEST['type']) && in_array($_REQUEST['type'], array('physical', 'magical')))
  $type = $_REQUEST['type'];
else
  fatal_error('Undefined type');

Then you will calculate variables according to that:

if($type == 'magical')
  $variables = a;
else
  $variables = b;

I really don't know how can I help you anymore. If you have specific coding questions, I can answer them if I can.

And Nascar; you can easily limit to a single board and call it the Battle Area.

Here you go, I attached the 12 items I have right now with a brief Read Me of what they do.

I'll write up a full explanation on the StatBattle system and how it works, what to do to set it up etc. and post it tomorrow.

Thanks for all your help, SiNaN! The only question I have is how to make it go to an error screen (like the "die(hacking attempt)" one and have it say "you can't attack for whatever reason" instead of actually posting it on the board.

That was an easy question really. :)

In the if, instead of doing

$msg = 'You cannot attack';

do

fatal_error('You cannot attack!', false);

Dude, you really are awesome at this!

If I ever make this into a complete Mod for the Mod site, I'm giving you top billing for the credit:

By SiNaN / Daisuke.

Thanks yet again, and if I ever need anything else I'l post. Thanks!

You're welcome. Glad that I could help you.

Update for Nascar:

Please download the attached file, it has an updated version of Potion, Full Heal, and Elixir as well as a Pheonix Down to revive dead players.

The update makes it so dead players cannot use a potion to revive themselves (kind of cheating lol.)

uhmm!!!

this sound more and more exciting !!!
when we will have a complete mod?? or a stable version? moreless..

The current version os Satble, but there's no mod for it yet lol.

At the moment, the following things are done:

-Stat system
-Stat items
-Auto-Adjusting HP and MP.
-Attack buttons

But there's still a few things I'll need to do before it's really ready to be done:

-Make the function move "dead" people into a non-post based group called "Dead."
-Make a permission so that "Dead" members cannot attack at all.
-Make a restriction somehow so that people cannot attack the same person repeatedly and kill them before an Admin can step in. (They'd get punished obviously, but it'd still suck to have to go back and fix it.)
-Making an edit to some files so that when a member gains enough posts to "level up" by reaching the next highest post group, he'll also get some stat items at random. (Should be easy to code, but I've no idea what files I'd need to edit...)
-Making a few other things just to make things smoother...

This sound really interesting. I'll test everything in a few hours.

And I just thought, couldn't you adjust the mod so that it adds its own profile fields when installed, so that Custom Profile Fields mod doesn't need to be used at all?

Probably, but since it isn't yet a mod so much as it is 2 edits and 1 file, I'll have to see about adding that it when it's done.

Also, the Custom Profile Fields mod doesn't work on 1.1.6, so I'll probably just end up integrating that mod's edits into my own mod (As long as thats okay with the mod's maker.)

Custom Profile Field uses this (http://www.unknownbrackets.com/tutorials/custom-profile) system.

Nice, thanks again!

Update:

I added some more checks to the codes (making sure you cannot attack dead people, people with no stats, yourself, if you have no stats, if you're dead) and also I added a chunk that checks to see if your attack killed the enemy, and if it did, to give you posts equal to 1/10th of their posts as a reward. (The stat system uses levels, and posts are the system's EXP. So, you get EXP for killing someone now.)\

Update again:

I'm working on adding Status effects to the Stat battle system, so that players can be poisoned, blind, silenced, etc. Also working on items to heal said status effects or cause them.

Okay, now I need help again  :P.

Everything works fine, except one of my members gets an error when he tries to attack me:

Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

I have no idea why though, other people can attack me and they can all attack each other. Any ideas?

Also, SiNaN, I'm not exactly sure how to make this into one function  :P sorry I'm not that good at this.

Also, the Round function isn't working for some reason.

Add this line to your Settings.php:

$db_show_debug = true;

Then you will be able to see the whole query causing error on the error page.

When you complete it, I can make it doing them with one function for you.

Instead of just round($var); you should make $var = round($var); to make it rounded.

Thanks a bunch, SiNaN. It'll probably take me about a week to finish it though (I'm adding weapons and stat effects, spells, etc. stuff like that. It's all going to be "if" codes that check for the status effect / weapon and then carry out whatever the stat effect / weapon does.)

I'll post again if I need more help or when it's done.

Ok, my letters got big again. I tried changing the names of the buttons, and they got huge and my avatar pic is now an x. I changed them back, but somethign must be wrong, as it isn't fixed... Attached the 2 files I edited, any idea why it got messed up?

Also I can't log in... no one can... strange...?

Edit: Also, I get these errors at the top of the page:

Use the attached index.php file.

You had some bad HTML codes at the start of the file.

You save me yet again, SiNaN. Thanks very much!

Update: I've begun adding Status effects to the Statbattle.php. Once everything is done i'll make some more Shop items to deal with them and post the updates in a .zip file.

It seams to be a lot of updates to this.
I'll est everything propably when the first stable version is done.

Yes, i'd say wait until the whole thing is done because I keep making changes to everything  :P

Hey SiNaN, Q:

Is there a way to change the "return" function in my Statbattle code so that it returns to the post rather then the topic? Or at least the page? People are getting frustrated with having to go back to the last page of the thread after an attack.

To the attack link in Display.template.php, add this

field=', $message['id'], ';

So it should look like this:

         echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=attack;attacked=', $message['member']['id'], ';country=', $context['current_board'], ';arena=', $context['current_topic'], ';field=', $message['id'], ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">[Attack]</a><br />';

Then in your StatBattle.php

Find:

$attacked_topic = !empty($_REQUEST['arena']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['arena'] : 0;

Replace:

$attacked_topic = !empty($_REQUEST['arena']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['arena'] : 0;
$attacked_message = !empty($_REQUEST['field']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['field'] : 0;

Find:

redirectexit('topic=' . $attacked_topic);

Replace:

redirectexit('topic=' . $attacked_topic . '.msg' . $attacked_message . '#msg' . $attacked_message);

Sweet, thanks. Okay one more for ya:

I want people to get a PM every time they "level up" (they reach the next-highest post-based group). However, I have no idea what files to mod or how to mod them. I assume there must be a file / files that take care of things like this...?

Well, not sure how they *level up* but after including Subs-Post.php, you can use these codes:

if('USER_LEVEL_UP')
{
$recipients = array(
'to' => array('ID_OF_USER_TO_SEND'),
'bcc' => array(),
);
$from = array(
'id' => 0,
'name' => 'StatBattle Guy',
'username' => 'Notifier',
);
sendpm($recipients, 'Level Up', 'Your level is up. :P', false, $from);
}

They "level up" when they reached a post-based group's number of posts. I.e. Level 1 is 0, level 2 is 25. So when they make their 25th post or somehow get their post total over 25, they "level up" and they get moved onto the next post-based membergroup.

I, unfortunately, don't know an easy way of doing it. You can check the updateSettings() function in Subs.php if you like.

Well I'm pretty sure it has to be done here somewhere:

case 'postgroups':
// Parameter two is the updated columns: we should check to see if we base groups off any of these.
if ($parameter2 !== null && !in_array('posts', $parameter2))
return;

if (($postgroups = cache_get_data('updateStats:postgroups', 360)) == null)
{
// Fetch the postgroups!
$request = db_query("
SELECT ID_GROUP, minPosts
FROM {$db_prefix}membergroups
WHERE minPosts != -1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$postgroups = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))
$postgroups[$row['ID_GROUP']] = $row['minPosts'];
mysql_free_result($request);

// Sort them this way because if it's done with MySQL it causes a filesort :(.
arsort($postgroups);

cache_put_data('updateStats:postgroups', $postgroups, 360);
}

// Oh great, they've screwed their post groups.
if (empty($postgroups))
return;

// Set all membergroups from most posts to least posts.
$conditions = '';
foreach ($postgroups as $id => $minPosts)
{
$conditions .= '
WHEN posts >= ' . $minPosts . (!empty($lastMin) ? ' AND posts <= ' . $lastMin : '') . ' THEN ' . $id;
$lastMin = $minPosts;
}

// A big fat CASE WHEN... END is faster than a zillion UPDATE's ;).
db_query("
UPDATE {$db_prefix}members
SET ID_POST_GROUP = CASE$conditions
ELSE 0
END" . ($parameter1 != null ? "
WHERE $parameter1" : ''), __FILE__, __LINE__);
break;

default:
trigger_error('updateStats(): Invalid statistic type \'' . $type . '\'', E_USER_NOTICE);

But i've no idea how...
