Pfft, my dad can have all the strategy in the world. I train my lads with gut instinct and a slavish dedication to dumbass gimmicks. My boys got spirit and heart. Until they get poisoned and disemboweled anyway. This might explain why most of my fighters never see the light of day past the first round.

Tunicate posted:So what does armor user skill do, anyway? Reduces the effective weight of worn armor -- at Grand Master Armor User, your armor effectively weighs 1/16th of its real weight, enabling you to move faster in combat. Apparently, it also allows fighters to move around in armor for longer periods of time without becoming tired. Also, we're still waiting on the following fighters to be updated before we can start the next round: Full Communism Now (managed by Jack the Lad) Fan Favourite Joss Whedon (managed by Coward) Jazzimus Prime fucked around with this message at 04:27 on May 31, 2015 |

Is there a way to pull previous round's builds for a fighter? I didn't take note of my exact gear/skills for the first two rounds and I'd like to share it eventually.

I'll probably change it in the future so that it does that going forward.EDIT: If you really really want the previous builds, I could pull them off of a database backup. I automatically back the whole thing up every night, so it would just be a matter of figuring out which days to pull backups for.

Tarezax posted:Depends what timezone you're in, because on my screen they're the same day.  Same here. I guess SA saves the registration timestamp and automatically converts it to your local time zone. I guess I must have registered just before midnight or something. EDIT: pun pundit posted:Yeah, I'm seeing that too. Do reg dates take time zones into account or something? That appears to be the case. Related side note: a lot of the work I did on the site over the last few months involved changing all date fields to UTC timestamp fields, with the goal of eventually letting users set their own time zones so the site could automatically do the conversion. I didn't ever bother to finish the conversion part, though, but I'll get around to it. Eventually. EDIT2: I remember now why I never finished the conversion part. If anyone's interested (which I know you're not  ), here's the little timezone driver table I came up with based on the bundled Windows and UNIX time zone data... but then I realized that other nations probably have a different definition of the date range that defines DST vs. what the U.S. defines it as, which caused me to throw my hands up and just say gently caress it all, I'm not getting paid for this poo poopre:ID GMTDiff GMTDiff_Desc DST TZ_Name TZ_Desc 1, '-12', 'GMT -12:00 hours', 'N', 'Pacific/Kwajalein', 'Eniwetok, Kwajalein' 2, '-11', 'GMT -11:00 hours', 'N', 'Pacific/Samoa', 'Midway Island, Samoa' 3, '-10', 'GMT -10:00 hours', 'N', 'Pacific/Honolulu', 'Hawaii, No DST' 4, '-10', 'GMT -10:00 hours', 'Y', 'Pacific/Adak', 'Hawaii, DST' 5, '-9', 'GMT -9:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/Anchorage', 'Alaska' 6, '-8', 'GMT -8:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Tijuana', 'Baja California' 7, '-8', 'GMT -8:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/Los_Angeles', 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)' 8, '-7', 'GMT -7:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Phoenix', 'Arizona' 9, '-7', 'GMT -7:00 hours', 'N', 'America/La_Paz', 'Chihuahua, La Paz, Mazatlan' 10, '-7', 'GMT -7:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/Denver', 'Mountain Time (US & Canada)' 11, '-6', 'GMT -6:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Belize', 'Central America' 12, '-6', 'GMT -6:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/Chicago' 'Central Time (US & Canada)' 13, '-6', 'GMT -6:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Mexico_City', 'Guadalajara, Mexico City, Saskatchewan' 14, '-5', 'GMT -5:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Lima', 'Bogota, Lima, Quito' 15, '-5', 'GMT -5:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/New_York', 'Eastern Time (US & Canada)' 16, '-4.5', 'GMT -4:30 hours', 'N', 'America/Caracas', 'Caracas' 17, '-4', 'GMT -4:00 hours', 'Y', 'America/Halifax' 'Atlantic Time (Canada)' 18, '-4', 'GMT -4:00 hours', 'N', 'America/La_Paz', 'Georgetown, La Paz, San Juan' 19, '-3.5', 'GMT -3:30 hours', 'Y', 'America/St_Johns', 'Newfoundland' 20, '-3', 'GMT -3:00 hours', 'N', 'America/Buenos_Aires', 'Brasilia, Buenos Aires, Greenland, Montevideo, Salvador' 21, '-2', 'GMT -2:00 hours', 'N', 'Atlantic/South_Georgia', 'Mid-Atlantic' 22, '-1', 'GMT -1:00 hours', 'N', 'Atlantic/Cape_Verde', 'Azores, Cape Verde Islands' 23, '0', 'GMT', 'N', 'Europe/London', 'Greenwich Mean Time: Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London, Casablanca, Reykjavik' 24, '+1', 'GMT +1:00 hours', 'N', 'Europe/Paris', 'CET(Central Europe Time), Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris' 25, '+2', 'GMT +2:00 hours', 'N', 'Europe/Helsinki', 'EET(Eastern Europe Time), Kaliningrad, South Africa' 26, '+3', 'GMT +3:00 hours', 'N', 'Europe/Moscow', 'Baghdad, Kuwait, Riyadh, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Nairobi' 27, '+3.5', 'GMT +3:30 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Tehran', 'Tehran' 28, '+4', 'GMT +4:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Tbilisi', 'Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Baku, Tbilisi' 29, '+4.5', 'GMT +4:30 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Kabul', 'Kabul' 30, '+5', 'GMT +5:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Karachi', 'Ekaterinburg, Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent' 31, '+5.5', 'GMT +5:30 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Calcutta', 'Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, New Delhi' 32, '+6', 'GMT +6:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Colombo', 'Almaty, Dhaka, Colombo' 33, '+7', 'GMT +7:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Bangkok', 'Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta' 34, '+8', 'GMT +8:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Singapore', 'Beijing, Perth, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chongqing, Urumqi, Taipei' 35, '+9', 'GMT +9:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Tokyo', 'Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka, Sapporo, Yakutsk' 36, '+9.5', 'GMT +9:30 hours', 'N', 'Australia/Darwin', 'Adelaide, Darwin' 37, '+10', 'GMT +10:00 hours', 'Y', 'Australia/Sydney', 'EAST(East Australian Standard)' 38, '+10', 'GMT +10:00 hours', 'N', 'Australia/Brisbane', 'Brisbane, Guam, Papua New Guinea, Vladivostok' 39, '+11', 'GMT +11:00 hours', 'N', 'Asia/Magadan', 'Magadan, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia' 40, '+12', 'GMT +12:00 hours', 'N', 'Pacific/Auckland', 'Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Kamchatka, Marshall Island' Jazzimus Prime fucked around with this message at 09:12 on May 31, 2015 |

This is shaping up to be an interesting tournament. Put all my dwarfbucks on My Dad! Also, mauls are not good. I had high hopes for my maul man in the last tournament, but it seemed too slow to be effective. When my fighter got a hit in it didn't do much, and this was a platinum maul. I paid top dollar for a terrible weapon.

 Quarterfinals (right? is it quarters already?), Fight 1 Full Communism Now is a male Gremlin fighter managed by Jack the Lad. He is a standard gremlin build. Tiny, nude, carrying the sharpest dagger ever made, and incredibly skilled. Floss Thrice Daily is a female Serpent Man fighter managed by Tunicate. The serpentwoman is even more skilled than the tiny gremlin if you can believe that. Bravo Tunicate; this should be a good show. Flossy is armored in layers with an Adamantine shirt and helmet.  The fighters charge to the center of the arena and spend a moment dodging before the super-deadly Full Communism Now stabs Flossy in the lower arm which sends blood spurting. The dagger is lodged in the wound!  But now Full Communism Now realizes the problem with getting so close to the damned snakewoman. Floss Thrice Daily bites the tiny gremlin around the waist, bruising guts and tearing muscle.   Uh-oh. Floss Thrice Daily begins shaking the hapless gremlin around by the head. Muscles in the head and neck are torn, arteries begin spurting blood all over the arena floor.  That fight could have gone either way. Full Communism Now's first attack landed, but it wasn't a good enough hit to cripple the serpentwoman. Winner: Floss Thrice Daily Combat Log

Welp.

Yeah, download this: http://arenachallenge.com/dwarffort/df_40_24_arena.zip Create the fighter on the site, download the macro into the \data\init\macro folder. Go into the object testing arena and do a K to look around, then C to create a creature. Hit CTRL+L to load the characters macro, then hit CTRL+P to play the macro which will create the fighter.

Custom fighter building outside of tournaments is one of those things Jazz never got around to doing. You can calculate the number of points needed yourself, and manually make such a fighter in the arena, I guess? Jazz, how hard would it be to implement a custom fighter building system? The basics seem to be pretty much there, it looks like you'd pretty much just have to add a place to input to number of point allowed for the custom build.
