Ok... Here's a suggestion for Tracers / Virii identify:

Base 0.1 Process tracer should have a 1% chance of success.

Each 1.0 of tracer should increase success rate by 1%  up to something like 15%.

Then each   5.0 of tracer increase by 1% up to 30%
Then each 10.0 of tracer increase up to max of 40%

.1         = 1%
1.0       = 2%
4.0       = 5%   <-- current tracer percentage right now, If I recall...
14.0     = 15%
19.0     = 16%
89.0     = 30%
99.0     = 31%
189.0   = 40%

My math might be off above, but you get the idea.


Tracer size and usage should be decreased dramatically though.  As it is, the little guys can't run more than a couple of the .1's at a time.  Also, if using above values, size and usage of tracer should be below the current .1 mark at the level 4.0 mark.

Finally, AP cost should be adjusted from 20 AP to:

1+ Full Version Level.  A level 4 (5% chance of success) would cost 5AP and a level 89 file (that has a 30% chance to get an IP) should be 90 AP.

I like this idea because process tracer has no real use past v0.1, especially when it uses so much resources to run ;_;

This way it has a real increment rather than having to research to like v100 just to get it up another 5%
But then again 15% chance is pretty high for v14, so it should still have a big useage to balance it out a bit....

I don't even use PT or VI except as a last resort. It's easier and more accurate to try to trace the bounce chain, and you're more likely to get a reliable IP. That says something considering that these two softs are supposed to be a counter for the "god mode" IP change.

Except right now where everyone has a log deleter higher than any undeleter out there...

My fault, but hey...

Thats why I killed your logundeleter research ;)
Sorry brah  :13:

Process tracer gives the most reliable IP, come now

And undeleting logs is just effort for me i go straight for the trace if I have to

I'd rather undelete.

Besides... You just didn't cancel my undelete research you cancelled my delete research as well.  :ranting2:  Actually, the only thing you didn't cancel was my hide files.

I'm pretty sure it was only undeleter D:
I always feel bad about closing research, but i REALLY didn't want you to have a bigger undeleter  :laugh:

Your IP was posted around the group boards a few times, would be no surprise if someone else jumped in ;)

that be nub activities
