If it is a glitch it's been that way since 1.19 (I believe) which is when I first noticed it. I thought it was intentional.

It is a great plugin, I was just suggesting we make something exactly like it and use [tags] instead of auto-replace. And I know it sucks having to manually [tag] each instance of a card but like you said it's really only necessary once per article per card.

Not that they're the same element but immolation/rage potion and eternity/reverse time.

« on: March 25, 2010, 04:13:44 am »The hover plugin has some problems with 5% of the words but I don't see that as a reason to replace the whole thing. We can easily fix the problem by making the trouble words conditional.That does fix a few problems but also creates a few more. Setting the replacement to 1 ruins the conditional if more than 1 is present on the page. (http://elementswiki.co.cc/cards-air/firefly-queen-elite-queen/) Additionally, the word "Firefly" from "Firefly Queen" gets matched as the card firefly and links to another article. As far as I can tell making it conditional won't fix that.
Apostrophes are a problem. Not sure what we are going to do with those. We probably have to do it manually.
I changed the hover so that it only inserts a particular link once as you can see here: http://elementswiki.co.cc/ability/unstable-gas/ This will fix a couple of problems and make the text easier to read.
The main problem with the hover plugin is that cards that have "Elite" or "Improved" before them aren't really going to work as auto link/hover. And some cards with the same name as an ability (unstable Gas from Air Nymph) the conditional ability links to the card. While others actually link to the ability. (Firefly Queen)
The good news is that the apostrophe problem seems to be resolved.

« on: March 24, 2010, 08:13:25 am »This deck is meant to be good at one thing and thats all. Im not trying to take on false gods with this deck, ts meant to be simplistic. I have ran into a gravity shiedla against a lvl 3 making for a humiliating defeat, but I figure this deck is faster if its not included, even though you will occassionally have more losses. I did make another version hat is mono death, just wanted to perfect it before putting it up. Had a few skull shields in it, and removed everything from the other elements. Used plague instead of lightning shield, although that 1 turn can hurt. all around after testing it think that its better to use lightning storm and just spalsh an air mark for thunderstorm. I consider it too complicated to add in the unstable gas as its just more things you have to go through before you can complete your combo, and if you dont get it quick, it can be a very close battle. The fog shield are good when the opponent has big monsters, however, I am thinking that they are just a waste when its all said and done. paradox isnt a concern though, cause the HP always stays above the atk.Yeah my deck was just for fun. It's not at all reliable. And you're right about having so many things to set up before the combo can work. When it does work though, it's devastating because Unstable gas also does 20 damage right away. My version definitely has many more vulnerabilities than yours as well. Just thought I'd post it since we have a new deck feature and this reminded me of it.
Your deck does look very fun, but i like mine just cause its more straightforward.

I was working on the air cards and came across a few problems.
Apostrophes prevent the hover plugin from functioning. http://elementswiki.co.cc/cards-air/owls-eye-eagles-eye/
I still think the auto-hover feature can be intrusive on some cards. Is there any way we could install a custom bbcode tag (with the same effect) and just edit with
[ability]Mutation[/ability]. I'd be willing to help manually insert these tags because if you look at http://elementswiki.co.cc/ability/unstable-gas/ it is kind of a cluster of links.
I'm not sure if this is a result of the caching system but when I make a change to an air card article, the change isn't reflected here: http://elementswiki.co.cc/elements/air/.
I'm pretty sure the GD Star Rating plugin is the cause for super slow load times. To test it, I would disable it and see if the problem continues. If that solves is, I'd try looking for an alternative.[/list]
- If the hover plugin finds a match it immediately inserts the hover code before continuing its search. The problem this creates is with things like Firefly and Elite Firefly. The plugin considers Firefly a match and inserts the hover code effectively making it Elite <code here> Firefly. The string "Elite Firefly" will never be found on a page. Example:

Air cards are almost finished. Just need to do the prices for some of them. While I was working on them I ran into a few bugs. Made a new thread about it here. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,4375.0.html

I think skull shield is a better shield choice than fog. Why use fog at all? Instead, I would maybe run shockwave for some creature control. You could make it mono by using retrovirus or plague to destroy the malignant cells. Although, you wait one turn, you can also, kill off creatures with more than 1 hp and stall otys.
This deck still has weaknesses and I think un-upped it would take too long to set up the combo. Especially with un-upped pillars. Gravity shield, paradox, reverse time/eternity, antimatter, are all mid-game concerns and I'm sure there are more.
I had a similar idea to this with using Aflatoxin on my own Spark and using Unstable Gas to kill my own malignant cells and buff my condors. Aflatoxin can also be used on an opponent's creature because Unstable gas deals 1 damage to every creature. Cremation serves two purposes. First, it generates the fire quanta to ignite gasses. Second, it allows me to kill a malignant cell in order to play a condor if my field is full. The concept is fun but it wasn't working out too well.
