I have permission to make this mod.

I threw this together after finding this game. I believe it will work with any version of vbulletin 3. This game was made by RocketXL (http://www.rocketxl.com/).

If for some reason someone wants to add permissions and such to this, just ask.

Installation:
Upload the guitarhero.php, and the gh3widget.swf files to your forums root directory.
Then upload the product.

To add a link to the navbar:
Find:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add Above:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="guitarhero.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Guitar Hero</a></td>

Next, go into your AdminCP and under your vBulletin Options, Find the Guitar Hero settings and edit them to your liking.

To Upgrade, reupload the files and override the product.
Go Here For A Demo (http://features.gamingtv.us/forum/guitarhero.php)

Having us pull the flash file from an external site is a bad idea. We have to depend on your site to be up for our site to function. Rocket site is down. You need to distribute the mod with the .swf file and if u arnt allowed to do that, then you shouldnt of posted this in the first place.

Ok, I updated the files. You now upload the swf file aswell.

Well, while I'm loving this because it's about the only game I play, I have to agree that Rocket probably doesn't want the swf distributed as it's their way to get traffic to their site, not yours. I'd probably suggest getting permission from the for this mod and including that permission with the mod so there is no question as to it violating their usage / copyright.

Its considered a "strategy" to release it .. its part of thier advertising
yet ripping the flash file is kinda against the law -_-

IM CONFUSED.....

So does this mean that I shouldn't download this MOD because I could get into trouble?

It loaded no problems first time for me... "Schoooooooooooooools out for summer" :D

Downloaded but yet to be uploaded until I am sure this is right to use.

Thanks, I know a few people that will be keen to sign up just to play this.

You guys who can't hit the notes.....you are hitting the enter/return button as you press your numerical keys arn't you? ;)

Great idea and all...but slightly worried about the copyright side of things.

Also, does it lag or get a bit jumpy, or is it just my system?

DawnsWebDesigns
05-05-2008, 09:13 PM
Yes I hit the enter button at the same time as I pressed the numerical keys. It's the same way with the game...you hit the strum bar at the same time as the keys. It's still not working. Not on his or her site or my own. So I uninstalled. :(

I would love to install this but I think Twilkey should contact RocketXL first to ask permission. Maybe if they put a link to Rocket's website on the instructions page it would be ok?

I'll wait till copyright agreements are made from the author to the creators of the guitar hero concept.

Please. I'd like to limit this to registered users only. Might give some an incentive to register.

For anyone that would like to know, I have upgraded this mod. It now comes with a nice shinny section in the vBulletin Options area. You can now enable or disable the mod, as well as set the disabled message. You also have the ability to restrict usergroups from using the mod.

Have fun.

do we have to replace any files or just overwrite the xml to upgrade?

Is there a way we can maybe save the scores on our own database? Rocketxl doesn't know how to keep their scores fair (someone has 900000000 and 99999999999999).

Twilkey
05-18-2008, 05:31 AM
I emailed RocketXL to find out how I can work with the scores, but they havent emailed me back yet.

Ohhhhh...you mean the number keys above the letter keys. Not the ones over to the side that the number lock key helps us out with. Duhhhh. I'm sorry. I got it now. It's working like a charm. It's a little slow but soooo worth it. :)

Not keen on this.

Apart from uploading the swf, which actually links to the site !!!!!Within its FLA source, the actual xml, is the direct embed paste from Rockets website.

I would imagine this piece of software is actually copyright misuse, due to the fact you are circulating their code.

Did you not see. I have permission from them to do this. Also, I am remaking this mod.

Suggestion for next release, can you add a page that will display a warning for anyone usergroup not allowed permission? Right now if you're not a registered user on my site you cannot use the plug in but you only get a blank page. It doesn't tell you why.

I wonder if Rocket will ever update this? I'd like to see an easier easy song. :D

Sure I saw it mate.

But

Your swf file, isnt the full swf
It is pulling main fla from rockets website.

Problems with that are not-wholly hosted swf's is really not a good idea, for a variety of reasons.

As far as the Mod goes, good luck, will keep my eyes on it, as I think it has promise :)

1. THe notes work fine. You have to hit the note AND hit enter.
2. The mod doesn't seem to work in IE, only firefox? Kind of odd.

Works perfectly on mine. Make sure you followed all install instructions. Sometimes the smallest little misstep will cause problems. Make sure you read what to do.

how long has this been down for,looking at all sites as i searched though Google for the game on every site i found it just says

So just wondered how long its been like that?

The main file is on RocketXL site..

This add-on just lets you embed it to your site..

Looks like RocketXL has it turned off...
My guessing is with it being on so many sites,,it must have been taking up RocketXL
bandwidth..
