Is it possible to counter Eric's influence on Alice?
Eric gets following influence points automatically :
Code:
if prevtime < '22:00' <= tm:
if alice.dcv.battle.stage and alice.dcv.battle.stage!=2:
if weekday==3:
$ infl[alice].add_e(50)
elif weekday!=5:
$ infl[alice].add_e(20)
2 influence points = 1 %
So at 22:00 Eric gets +25% for every Wednesday and +10% for every other day except Friday. At Sunday 00:00 a new week starts and both Max and Eric loose 15% influence on Alice. Friday is special.
!!! Note that Eric gets influence even if he is absent !!!
Mon +10%
Tue +10%
Wed +25%
Thu +10%
Fri ???
Sat +10%
Sun -15% +10%
---------------------
+60% per week
To counter Eric, Max has to earn influence on Alice. Half of the gained influence points are substracted from Eric's influence on Alice. (The same applies for Eric earning influence on Alice and so reducing Max's influence by half the points.)
I remember that in original BB it was possible to completely compensate Eric's influence by doing lots of massages at the pool and in front of tv and by catching/killing spiders and bribing Alice, however in BB_AS the amount of influence Max gets from these actions is neglectable compared to Eric's gain in influence and most of these actions are not available everyday.
So far I got -3% Eric for giving a no-candy massage in front of tv and -3% Eric for killing a spider at night if no demands are made. Candy massage in front of tv does not give any influence for me.
Edit :
There seems to be a faulty coding / bug :
Check the 3rd line of code below where d can be modified or even set to zero :
If Max is close to 100% influence and would cross the limit of 200 points, the gained influence is reduced and only half of the reduced influence is later subtracted from Eric's influence. If Max is already at 100%, d is set to zero and it is not possible to reduce Eric's influence at all.
Code:
def add_m(self, d, b = False):
if self._m1_01classes__m is not None:
d = d if self._m1_01classes__m + d < self.lim_m else self.lim_m - self._m1_01classes__m
if d == 0:
return
if b or not self.freeze:
if self._m1_01classes__m is not None:
self._m1_01classes__m += d
else:
self._m1_01classes__m = d
if self._m1_01classes__e is not None:
self._m1_01classes__e -= d // 2
if self._m1_01classes__e < 0:
self._m1_01classes__e = 0
.Black Panther. : Maybe you can look over this and fix it in a patch.
I wonder if it is a bug that Eric is gaining influence every day even if he is absent ?
The method add_m should reduce Eric's influence even if Max has already 100% influence, otherwise Eric is unstoppable ...
