My mod has 2 issues that will generate more negativity and requests for improvement than anything else.
Since everyone is simply posting please give it to me, I need to use it: you have to wait awhile.
1) The existing find exposed TH stinks, and I have not written a new one.
Current version makes a simple check of the center of the TH is outside certain arbitrary predefined pixel limits and it presents a huge number of TH that are protected behind walls and buildings. Even if you use every troops, Clan castle, and hero's; you still lose the attack 5-10% of time. I have TH6, TH8, and 2 TH9 accounts to test it on. It works ok in the silver/gold leagues, but since it takes 5-10 TH snipe to recover from a lost battle, the climb is antagonizing slow in crystal league and useless in Master league due the number of trapped TH (unless you always wait for hero's to be ready to battle).
If anyone has written a better exposed TH search, please let me know!
2) There is currently no way to determine if TH has been won, and the attack continues until every last troop is expelled. While a TH6 probably will use 30-60% of troops on TH with minor protection, TH8/TH9 need 10-30% of a army. Hence, every attack requires full wait time for new army. It was fun watching it take a TH6 from 800 to 1600 trophy in about a day testing the mod. But TH9 full army train time is more than 20min, meaning less 3 snipes per hour, and 3-4 hours to recover from a failed TH snipe. Its way too slow in higher leagues, and I refuse to listen people complain it doesn't work the way they (or I) want it to work.
I started a separate thread trying to solve the "search for the smashed TH, can we stop the attack now" problem. If I can get that fixed, then be happy to post the mod and attack mechanics used for further inclusion by others.
If anyone has been working on a better find exposed TH search, PM me. Please!
