--- Parses a chance value, and returns the 1-in-N value thereof.
-- @param str string The string to parse.
-- @param invert_percent string The operation mode. Valid modes: "1-in-n" (default), "weight". "1-in-n" refers to a 1-in-N chance of something happening (lower numbers mean greater likelihood). "weight", on the other hand, is instead a weighting that something will happen (higher numbers mean a greater likelihood).
-- @returns number|nil The 1-in-N chance if parsing was successful, otherwise nil.
