SnoWaterBattle

[Coroner]

What does this Mod do ?
It's a game - no, sorry - 2 games in one. Playable only in the profile of each user.
There is only 1 game avaible but the admin can choose what game he want's.
Snowbattle or Waterbattle.

General
You can give permissions to play the game and create clans. If a user has the permission to play, he can disable the game for him in the UserCP (this can do only one time per day). Also in UserCP he can create a clan (with permission).
There are some differences between both games. So please let me try to explain it later (all explanations are also the READ.ME).
This game works my "asset-mod" and "vBCredits", but there is no need ...
Switching to another game, will reset all users !!!

prices for ...Short explanation of snowbattle (by default settings)
You need to throw snowballs to other users. Each user starts with 20 snowballs. You throw a snowball to any user you like, but only one time per day. A user is froozen by 20 hits and can't throw snowballs any more. If he has a "grog" (hope that word is correct) he can take it to "unfreeze".
Each user has his own profile and in it he can see his status (hits), count of snowballs left ...
Also he can buy things (snowballs, grogs). If a user is out of snowballs, he need to buy new one.
It's always better to have enough money to buy a grog and snowballs.

Short explanation of waterbattle (by default settings)
Simular the same, but ... instead of snowballs it will use water.
At the beginning each user has an emty glass and 20 water-balloons, a water-pistol and a lifering. A balloon is filled with 1 litre water, a pistol can carry 3 litre.
There is an option to buy a water-pumpgun (can carry 10 litre of water). The glass can filled up to 50 litre water and if it's full - the user is drowned.
If you have no water in the glass, you need to throw water-balloons. You can use the water-pistol or pumpgun only your glass is filled with water.
You can also buy some water, but this water is yours and fills you glass. Watch out that you're not drowned. You need to keep the glass empty but ... you also need water for the pistol.
If a user is drowned, he can't throw balloons or use the pistol - he need to be saved.
Another user must give a lifering to save him - he can't save himself.

Clans (by default settings)
There is a maximum of 10 Clans and a maximum of 10 members each clan.
Clan-members can't throw snowballs/water to other members, only to members of other clans or "standalone" users. Each user can only create 1 clan. Users (with no permission to create a clan) can join or withdraw a clan.

Hope you like it.

Translations are welcome ! But please let me know, where I can find the language file or the product.

[edit 31.10 Halloween] When you're out of balls, it will now show "You ran out of Snowballs"
[edit 04.11] Fixed in Snowbattle buying things.
[edit 06.11] Fixed a Bug in the UserCP-Battle Settings (if you haven't permissions fpr clans, you can't set PM to NO)
[edit 08.11] If a Usergroup haven't the permission for the game, the profiletab of a user inside this group doesn't appears any longer (simply overwrite the product)

Hi!

Thank you for this modification !

But where i can find the "Guthabenhack von Lasall v1.9.2 oder höher" ?

EDIT: Now i unterstood, only wbb . - Ok, thank you!

[gwerzal]

Thanks, might install it a bit closer to christmas

[Coroner]

Hi!

EDIT: Now i unterstood, only wbb . - Ok, thank you!

No, it's not only wBB. I've converted it for vB.
There is no need to use it, but ... if you like on my homepage you can get it.
Otherwise, you can use vBCredits.

SnoWaterBattle also works without both mods.

[Sweeks]

How can I get it to show in profiles. I have set admin rights, yet I can not see the tab at all? Am I missing something? This sounds like an excellent mod, hopefully you'll come up with more games in the future.

[Coroner]

Have you set the userright ?
under vBulletin option - SnoWaterBattle must be set to ON.
In UserCP (the last entry at the bottom) Battle is it set to ON ?

[Internetcafe]

Great addition .. had to change a couple of phrases to make it more "English", but it works well.

Thanks Coroner .. clicked install.

Ohhh, pls let me know. My horrible grammar *smile

[Sweeks]

When clicking to throw a snowball, it just refreshes the profile you are on. It does not count them at all and says nobody has thrown at usernamehere.

On the good side it does credit your VBcredits perfectly.

Any ideas?

not really. Can you try to switch to waterbattle and see what happends.

:(
You need to upload ALL files.
ncludes/class_profiletab_snowaterbattle.php is missing.

[Internetcafe]

Would it be possible to show the number of hits a member has taken in their postbits ?

[Coroner]

I think not. It will take longer to see which user has the mostest hits (water).
But ... I've wrote a little "cheat" php to find out, which user has the most .... :D

[Internetcafe]

All hits are reset to zero at the end of each 24hour period .. can we have an option to extend that !?

[xStat]

I can see in your screenshot that you can buy waterballons or snowballs, but there is no button for me in my profile.

[Coroner]

@internetcafe: why ?
@xStat: any pictures ? You must go into your profile

[xStat]

There you go.

No Buy button at all.

Tried to throw all away so that I would have 0 at everything, but still nowhere to close the deal.

[Coroner]

Pls, try to upgrade all the php files. There was really a bug, if asset-mod or vbcredits isn't installed.

[Cybertims]

All uploaded and installed ok, everything seems ok till I click on the link in my UserCP, then all I get is a blank page, I've tried changing from water to snow but still the same, any ideas?

Cheers

[Coroner]

It will jump into snowaterbattle_profile.php. Correct ?

The last entry in the php file is:
eval ('print_output("' . fetch_template ($shelltemplatename) . '");');

and $shelltemplatename is "USERCP_SHELL". You must see the shell.

Don't know why you get a blank page.

I would like to "trace" with (for example: echo "test";) anywhere in the file to see what happends.

[Internetcafe]

Pls, try to upgrade all the php files. There was really a bug, if asset-mod or vbcredits isn't installed.

Do we need to upgrade if we have vbcredits ?
All seems to be working well on my place.

[RedeemedWarrior]

loads to a blank page for me :(

[dotpeddler]

There you go.

No Buy button at all.

Yeah, I installed this and it works fine but you can't actually buy any snowballs and you cannot set up a clan, even with the back end settings in place...there is no place to comitt to the action in the profile.

Too bad, too. Snowballs fit real well on my Christmas forum.

[RedeemedWarrior]

blank page has gone yet i'm getting the same error as Dot.

plus a weird document has moved thingy everytime i throw a ball

[Coroner]

All the actions will be done in snowaterbattle_actions.php

Is there a change to get an test-account ?

[Internetcafe]

What happens actually if you freeze and do not use a grog? will you unfreeze after a certain time and what will happen if members still throw balls when you are frozen?

[Coroner]

When you are frozen - you're frozen. The only chance to get unfrozen is to get a grog.
Members can't throw snowballs to a frozen user.

Also members can't make others wet if they are drowned.

[Coroner]

Sorry. It was a long ago. I think at the next day (not 24 hours) he will be "unfrozen"

[RedeemedWarrior]

everything works except the blank page from usercp issue now

[Coroner]

So, what was it ?

[Internetcafe]

I notice if you run out of snowballs, instead of telling you that you need more snowballs it defaults to :- "You've already thrown at ??"

[RedeemedWarrior]

the other issues? no idea they seemed to correct overnight

the clan and usercp functions however don't work

[Coroner]

@internetcafe: Will check it out
@RedeemedWarrior: A change to get a test-account ?

[RedeemedWarrior]

a member type account?

[Coroner]

I think this is ok. Will take a look at the usercp

[snow2000]

Everything is fine but I can´t buy new snowballs.... There is no "Buy" Link.

[Coroner]

Yep, you're right. It's fixed now.

[Renkus]

Can't buy... When I press "buy" button, page reload and no changes.

[Coroner]

:confused: will take a look

[Coroner]

Oh my god ... so, fixed !

[Renkus]

Yes )) Thank you, Coroner. Now playing... )

[MundoVirtual]

Obrigado parece ser fixe

[snow2000]

I´ll test it! Thank you!!

[thunder28]

Hi
nice game:-)

but i have no buy button in the snowbattle??
I have no Gutenhabenhacks.

Okay i have updatet :-)...sorry

[Robru]

Do it works with 3.8.x ?

[Coroner]

I didn't test it on a beta version.
But I think, if there no extreme different changes, it could be work.

So, pls test it und let us know your result.

[Robru]

I shall test it on 3.8.0 beta 1

[Coroner]

Why not ? You asking me if it's running. So, if you have a test-forum, you can test it there.

I will test it, when there's a stable/gold or final version out.

[powerful_rogue]

This is fantatsic! My members love it!

Wouldnt it be great if somehow when a snowball is thrown you could get an image of a snowball on the members screen - like some of the windows live emotes

[dotpeddler]

I've got this installed at My Merry Christmas (http://www.mymerrychristmas.com/forum) and people are going crazy over it. I need to tweak phrases and I like other's I'd like better graphics, etc. But the members are eating it up.

[RedTrinity]

Its a great feature, well done :)

Though I do have a bug report to make....

Members of groups who don't have permission to play this game are reporting getting the "hit by a snowball" PMs. This is because the members who do have permission to play are able to access the tab for this game on non-player profiles, and throwing the snowballs at them... even though there is not permission to do so the other way round.

If a usergroup doesn't have permission to play this game, then they shouldn't get any notifications related to it at all, and it would probably be better if the tab wasn't available on their profile at all either - even to those who do.

Cheers :)

[Coroner]

will take a look at the weekend.

[Rickeo]

Doesn't work for me am using the facebook profiles and when I click throw snowball it just refreshes the profile page :(

[RedTrinity]

Great :) Can I also suggest giving members the option to "opt out" of this altogether if they don't wish to participate in the game in any way? Maybe a config option which will hide the game tab on their profile and turn off all contact with them ie. PMs etc?

Cheers :)

No, there is no "global" permission for it. Each User (if he has permission to play) can set this option is the usercp. If he leaves it "OFF" - he won't play and the TAB isn't avaible.

There is a "small" bug for users that haven't permissions to play. I will fix this in a few hours

[Coroner]

So, ready. See edit-note

[Rickeo]

Any help on my problem?

[Coroner]

what does it mean: "facebook profile"

[Robru]

Here the result of snowaterbattle with vB 3.0.8 Beta 2, showing above the header when you click on a members profile :)
please, see the attachment Coroner

[Coroner]

vB 3.0.8 ?????
It's written for 3.7.x

[Rickeo]

facebook profiles the style mod here on vb.org

[Robru]

vB 3.0.8 ?????
It's written for 3.7.xmy fault, I mean 3.8.0 beta 2 :)

[RedTrinity]

my fault, I mean 3.8.0 beta 2 :)

I think thats still his point, the game is currently being designed for 3.7.x versions only - and not the beta version of VB.

Thanks Coroner for the updated version, off to try it now :)

[powerful_rogue]

Hi,

I just wondered if as well as improving an already great mod, you had any intention of expanding it to cover other type of events. Once xmas is out the way i'll turn it off until summer for the water fight - however extras such as an easter egg fight for easter would be great.

Maybe an idea for another mod - Find the easter egg. The mod automatically hides easter eggs in various threads and members have to find them. Once found they click on the egg and it vanishes, however its added to a total in their profile. Could be adapted for treasure and other things!

[Coroner]

Thx for the ideas - but next time something bigger is come

[Virtualshiner]

Will this work with vbPlaza?

[powerful_rogue]

Thx for the ideas - but next time something bigger is come

Looking forward to seeing it! Its these typeof mods that really make a forum in my opinion. It gets members involved and everyone so far on my forum has loved it!

Just a shame theres not more mods like this around.

[powerful_rogue]

Anotehr suggestion, Would it be possible for this to have its own notification in the notification menu rather then PM's being sent out?

[RedTrinity]

Anotehr suggestion, Would it be possible for this to have its own notification in the notification menu rather then PM's being sent out?

Agree, this would be a more user-friendly alternative :)

[RedTrinity]

Bump, any updates on this? :)

[Coroner]

There're no Updates this time.

[RedTrinity]

Anotehr suggestion, Would it be possible for this to have its own notification in the notification menu rather then PM's being sent out?

So you won't consider this idea, Coroner?

Members have been complaining about getting too many PMs sent to them, especially when the PM notification option for this game is set to "on" by default :( They get handfuls of PMs even before they get to their own personal switch option. And there is no global option for admin to turn them off either.

I have the game set for specified groups at the moment and would like to release it boardwide to everyone, but won't be doing so until there's an alternative to the PM'ing, otherwise I am just gonna get bombarded with similar complaints.

Will hope its considered for changes, as it really is a great feature/game that most of our members are enjoying.

Cheers :)

[Coroner]

Good idea, but give me time.
I have a new Project this time and must spend loads of time in it.

To get your credites, you have to go in a users profile (SnoWater Battle).
There is no automatic for it.

Hallo Coroner,

ich habe 2 Fragen.

Ist es möglich die Sachen die abgezogen werden mit einem Minus zu verweisen oder rot darzustellen?

Siehe Screenshot.

Danke und Gruß

This is vBCredits. Notice, that there aren't "account information".

--- german ---

Bei vBCredits geht das nicht so ohne weiteres. Dies ist der einzige Weg es einzufügen, die formatierung muss vBCredits machen

I couldnt get it working and I thought it may be due to VBSEO. I ended up uninstalling SnoWaterBattle :(

Do you have it working with VBSEO?

Thanks

[1Matthew1]

No, I need some rewriterules for that

I opened a thread on vbseo: http://www.vbseo.com/f23/snowaterbattle-rewrite-rules-help-please-29253/#post183008

[kylek]

I didn't test it on a beta version.
But I think, if there no extreme different changes, it could be work.

So, pls test it und let us know your result.

I have installed it and am testing it out on 3.8.0 Beta 4.

All the database tables were added with no problems, templates are all there and the usercp and profile tabs show. Purchases to vbcredits go through automatically, purchased some more snowballs and the credit amount reduces like it should.

The only thing I have hit a dead end on is the action of being able to throw a snowball at someone. When you click on the snowball image the page refreshes but nothing happens, the test account I am throwing at does not register a hit, and my snowball amount does not go down by 1, stays at 20.

I also am running vbseo and it might be the same problem that 1Matthew1 is having.

[xfords.com]

i thought this would be a fun mod for the members, man this turned out to be the most hated mod, people seemed to tkae it the wrong way when they got tossed a snow ball,
i honestly liked the mod but be warned not all members do lol ahahaha.
even though they could turn it off people still kicked a stink.
maybe if the snow ball game message was changed to something to show its friendly to have a snow ball thrown at you. i mean really i get that its friendly but seems not every one did so i had to remove the mod cos of some squeeky wheels,

Further update:

With the help from Oleg at vbseo everything is working right, he has posted the modifications to get it working with vbseo - http://www.vbseo.com/f23/snowaterbattle-rewrite-rules-help-please-29253/

So at this point in time it does work on 3.8.0 Beta 4.

[kylek]

All hits are reset to zero at the end of each 24hour period .. can we have an option to extend that !?

Anyone know when this reset happens? Would be nice if it could be set or changed for a specific time like midnight forum time.

[kylek]

And one last question, can the starting amount of snowballs (20) be changed anywhere so you could set it to 10 per day to start off with?

[Vinyljunky]

I couldnt get it working and I thought it may be due to VBSEO. I ended up uninstalling SnoWaterBattle :(

[Atlantean]

Having installed it I now find I can't access the settings in the User Profile - I just get a page error?

[Booth]

Nice game but could do with a seperate page for leaderboards and clans rather than having to see them on profiles :)

[kylek]

Anyone have members losing their snowballs? Seems when it updates some loose their amount they had on hand before it updates.

Or do you loose your snowballs if you get frozen?

[1Matthew1]

Would be great if you could add an option to extend that reset to x hours...
And would be great if you could add an option to define how often a user can throw a snowball at a specific person. Now it´s only possible once a day...
I´d also like a password protection for clans...

[TomJames]

Looks cool... (going to try tomorrow)
