Realm Conquest System

[dai-kun]

Where in the conquest.php script do you edit?
I followed the link but I am still not sure where to do the edit.
Thanks

after <?php or you can add it to your config.php file for the entire vbulletin. This method is only if you have your own dedicated server. If your host finds out that you are using more memory than they provide, they could contact you.

You can ask your host to increase the memory limit in the php.ini.

[geocodes]

Can anyone help me with that? im trying to make an VIP nation (only a certain usergroup would use this), but, how to do this? (where to set permitions of a certain nation)

It's pretty late and I'm tried so this is the best I can come up with.

Edit your conquest_enlist_bit template,

find
<form action="$filename?do=homebase" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="joinrequest" value="$nation[nationID]" />
<input type="submit" value="<phrase 1="$nation[nName]">$vbphrase[conquest_enlist_join]</phrase>" />
</form>

and replace it with
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6,7)">
<form action="$filename?do=homebase" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="joinrequest" value="$nation[nationID]" />
<input type="submit" value="<phrase 1="$nation[nName]">$vbphrase[conquest_enlist_join]</phrase>" />
</form>
<else />
<if condition="$nation[nationID] != 3">
<form action="$filename?do=homebase" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />
<input type="hidden" name="joinrequest" value="$nation[nationID]" />
<input type="submit" value="<phrase 1="$nation[nName]">$vbphrase[conquest_enlist_join]</phrase>" />
</form>
</if>
</if>

Change the red numbers to your special VIP groups and the green number to that special nation.

First half of code lets special users join any and all nations.
Second half prevents users not set in first part of code from joining specific nation.

[RokuDaMerlin]

sry for double post ..

my ideas for a new update:

- a user can only 1 attack become from the same user pro day
- auto refresh time
- weapons + amor + pictures
(pic <br> weapon titel <br> | power / money |)
- bite link ^^ for one click = 1 Gold or so ;)
- the attacker can louse gold when the other have more power ;)

i hope the owner can 1-2 or all from my wish-lish add

[v12kid]

shame this is unsupported

anyone want to take it over and fix/update? Maybe we can get a few people to donate to a developer to do that? I would certainly make a "donation" to get this working as I would LOVE to have this

i asked the developer if i'm allowed to take the project over and to create a own on this base, but he didn't answer.

and if i would make it without his permission, it wouldn't be ok(stealing^^)
also it would be very hard to support it, because my english is not the best;)

he did say people can continue to develop it.
I wouldn't mind chipping in some money to get this mod fixed.

@Ragtek, your English is fine. I can help you with the language/translation issue if you are concerning that.

[Differentiation]

Sorry for the double post, but I solved my problem previously.
Now I got another question.

I want to change all the "village" to another word.
How do I do that?

Solved my question via phrase and template editing.
Still trying to remove PM Notification.

[Differentiation]

how can I remove the PM notification?

[v12kid]

I agree with Diff Ragtek. Its been abandoned and he did state it was ok to continue so go for it!

[Dutch_Boy]

Ragtek: I hope you can bring the mod to a new level and make it better. Asfare as i know you are allowd to change this mod becasue everone post there modivications in this topic.

[Hornstar]

yeah it would be a shame to see this mod not go to VB4 and not become supported again, it could become quite the popular addition to VB.

[upperwhitetrash]

does this mod work for 3.7 boards?

[Dutch_Boy]

I have made a stupid mistake.... Deleted manual some databases:

http://i49.tinypic.com/24gm5cl.png

What i need to know is how do i make the databases my self with phpmyadmin?

Did you try just re-installing the game, like you would when you upgrade it?

[Dutch_Boy]

Did you try just re-installing the game, like you would when you upgrade it?

Yea i did install the mod again. Deleted all the files en reinstalled them en reinstalled the product-conquest.

[Digital Jedi]

Yea i did install the mod again. Deleted all the files en reinstalled them en reinstalled the product-conquest.
Did you check to see if all the databases were rebuilt?

[Dutch_Boy]

There are no databases rebuild. And thats the problem. The product-conquest wont install the databases.

[tigrattack]

Hi all,

My membership really enjoys this...

If anyone takes over the build of this mod, I have a few suggestions:

The ability for a player to be totally destroyed and an option in the Admin controls that allows the 'On/Off' of a players ability to be totally destroyed. That can be turned 'On' when the Nations seem to have enough players in them or when a join time deadline is reached.

Then the ability for Nations to be destroyed (and not rejoined) after all members within that Nation have been wiped out. Leaving one Nation at total dominance to end the game.

Then you could reset and start over again.

Just an idea, not sure if it could even be implemented.

Thanks

I know you don't like it, but what I'm saying is, you shouldn't really be expecting support or replies from a modification that says Unsupported. That's what Unsupported means. Unsupported means don't expect updates, don't expect progress reports and certainly don't expect replies to PMs. He's not supporting it and marked it to so we'd know that.

I am getting this error when I try to do anything on the conquest link:

tommac you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

do I need to configure the permissions somewhere?

That's the standard message for something you don't have access to in Usergroup Permissions. You need to allow the Usergroups you want in the Usergroup Manager.

For those of you wondering how to remove the ip from showing on the forum, find the conquest_comments_bit template, and remove this line:


<if condition="$isMod">($comment[cIPAdd])</if>

[AfterWorldForum]

I implemented a solution to prevent people from getting spammed with messages when they get attacked. In short, I fire off a query checking whether the user that was attacked has any unread PMs from the conquest system, and only send the PM if the above is not true.

To accomplish this, open up functions_conquest_village.php and replace this:


$message .= "]Click here to view futher information on $player[username]'s village. ($baseurl/$filename?do=village&pid=$player[playerID)";

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('iconid', 4);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $player[userid]);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $player[username]);
$pmdm->set('title', $title);
$pmdm->set('message', $message);
$pmdm->overridequota = true;
$pmdm->set_recipients($village[username], $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->save();


with this:


// Start modification to prevent players from being spammed
$conquestpmread_sql = "SELECT MIN(pm.messageread) pmsRead FROM user JOIN pm ON user.userid = pm.userid JOIN pmtext ON pm.pmtextid = pmtext.pmtextid WHERE user.username = '" . $village[username] . "' AND pmtext.title LIKE 'You have been attacked%'";

$conquest = $vbulletin->db->query_first($conquestpmread_sql);

if (!$conquest['pmsRead'] == 0) // Apparently there's no unread Conquest messages for this user.
{
$message .= "]Click here to view futher information on $player[username]'s village. ($baseurl/$filename?do=village&pid=$player[playerID)";

$pmdm =& datamanager_init('PM', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
$pmdm->set('iconid', 4);
$pmdm->set('fromuserid', $player[userid]);
$pmdm->set('fromusername', $player[username]);
$pmdm->set('title', $title);
$pmdm->set('message', $message);
$pmdm->overridequota = true;
$pmdm->set_recipients($village[username], $botpermissions);
$pmdm->set('dateline', TIMENOW);
$pmdm->save();
}
// End modification


Feel free to alter this to your needs. I tested this on my own system, and it seems to be working as intended. Should you find something different, please let me know.

[RollaJedi]

you will make this for vbulletin 4, yes?

Is there an option that allows you to leave a nation?

carnt wait to set this up on my forum, thanks bud defo installing..

[murekhalir]

can't wait to get a vb4 version.

[anuanu]

Me to! It will be amazing.

[BloodRavens]

The graphics seems good. Is this release is ready to be used in large forum or it still needs some tweaking? It will be good if it is compatible with vbExperience.....

[Dutch_Boy]

Need some tweaking. We are waiting for a update. But i think there will never be one :(

[session-one]

is a vb4 launch planned?

[NakedCrook]

A trading system would be nice...and an option for admins to edit the race of other players (in case someone wants to change). A Player deletion tool would also be nice.

Oh so this is not for 4? X.X found in 4 mods. it messes up my screen :(

Run Query:

DELETE FROM conquest_players WHERE forumID = <userid on forums itsself>

[sticky]

is a vb4 launch planned?
Same question.

[AfterWorldForum]

Same question.

To the best of my knowledge, Jaxel abandoned this mod a long time ago. On my forum, the system is quite popular, and I have been busy porting it to vB4 during the last days. I run a bit of a customized version, though, some code of which was developed by someone other than me. I'm not sure I can just release the altered mod without his permission. I'll see what I can do about that bit.

One of the changes made is completely sidestepping the cron job to take care of the cycles. We also added a cycletimer to the relevant templates so people know when the next cycle hits. Also cool is ripping out the default comments section, and instead using a couple of custom-made private forums and having members of each faction automatically be put in the usergroup with permission for that forum.

The porting was quite cumbersome, though, and involves quite a bit of editing in templates and actual code, but it's not undo-able.

I'm having people test the new system as we speak, so with a little luck, I can let you know how things worked out for us.

One note is that I used a <div class="restore"> tag to fix any layout trouble.

Cheers,

Peter

[neoacro]

oh.. let me know if you need testers, i won't mind testing on my forum. :) got 198 members.

[AfterWorldForum]

In the light of the recent developments (IB suing XenForo), combined with knowing I will not be able to support this anyway, I'm not going to release the vB4 version of this.

Sorry.

[therogueforums]

Would anyone be willing to do a custom edit for this mod- the ability to add images to weapons and upgrades?

http://www.forumoftheoldrepublic.com/members/ki-adi-mundi-albums-screens-n-shyt-picture378-ex1.png

What I envision are images that can be added, ideally through the Admin panel of the game, that can be assigned to a specific weapon, armor item, or barracks item.

[Digital Jedi]

Has anyone else reached a ceiling on the number of troops you can get? I had a user loose 15 points, before he realized that the number wasn't being added on.

[Developerz]

I had to make an imaginary ceiling so members would not constantly be on a troop race:).

I realize the coder has stopped supporting this mod, but I wonder if he would simply sell it so somebody else could continue working on it. This mod is one of the main reasons that my forum is not upgrading to VB 4.

[C0D3D]

Any chance of making this work with v4 ?

[Morrus]

Got this running OK, and applied a bunch of the fixes and extras from this thread (man, there were a LOT of them). I've applied:

- Equation fixes
- Trade option
- Restrict access to overpopulated nations
- Usergroup (subscriber) specific nation
- a few more

I've also slightly edited a lot of the templates to look - at least in my opinion - a bit better, plus a crapload of phrases and/or text.

Kinda working on fudging a couple of new simple options (by literally copying code - I can't write it myself):

- Hire mercenaries (troops for gold)
- Dismiss troops (to free up some gold)

I've managed those, as I just used the code already in place for recruiting troops and just changed the numbers:

USE AT OWN RISK -THIS IS WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR AND I DOESN'T WORK YET! IN FACT, IT GIVES A BLANK WHITE PAGE WHEN NEW USERS ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM. WORKING ON IT STILL, BUT DON'T USE THIS CODE.

With that dire disclaimer out of the way, here's how I did it. You'll need to change the red numbers to whatever you prefer. If you wanna see it in action first, I have it running on my forum (http://www.enworld.org/forum/conquest.php?do=index), but you'll obviously need to register and create a village before you can view the new options in Village Overview.

ADD TO TEMPLATE CONQUEST_HOMEBASE:

Things I want to do, but can't because it requires actually writing something (as opposed to copying and pasting some code and changing some numbers):

- Village names
- Couple of extra mission types for spies (which I've renamed "adventurers")
- Marketplace which sells special items
- vBCredits II integration (to spend in that marketplace)
- Leave game option
- Change allegiance option

None of that can I even begin to do, unfortunately, but I think that's what would turn this into a decent but basic game into a really good one.

Well, I got the mercenaries and dismiss troops options working.

I also now have village names, village wealth categories, morale, and I'm working on more. Thing is it's been a few days of gradual incremental changes and trial-and-error (I've never written PHP before, so I'm learning as I go) and I can't remember everything I've done. It involved direct SQL queries to change the database and add columns, template changes, changes to various different files, and so on.

[Morrus]

Here's what I've managed so far. Working on new stuff and learning PHP as I go. Everything seems to be working so far.

April 28: You can now delete your settlement from your village overview page. This is an irreversible action.
April 28: When you recruit or dismiss troops, they now add to or subtract from your population.
April 28: Mercenary hire cost is now multiplied by your army upgrade level.
April 28: Total settlements now displayed on game homepage.
April 28: Happiest Settlements page added under Largest and Richest Settlements. Based on morale.
April 27: New stats (morale, wealth, law & order, rank, etc.) now displayed on the Largest and Richest village pages.
April 27: Village descriptions now describe morale, law & order, wealth, and other new factors.
April 27: Trend information now indicated next to resources and morale; displays the cycle adjustment from last cycle.
April 27: Experience points added. Player rank increases at certain thresholds (freeman, sir, lord, viscount, count, duke, grand duke, prince). Gain 1XP for failing an attack raid and 2XP for succeeding.
April 27: Population now a separate stat from troops. Increases each cycle. Village size definitions (thorp, hamlet, village, small town, large town, city, metropolis) based on population and updated each cycle.).
April 27: Wealth and Law & Order now have text descriptors. Wealth: poverty stricken, poor, comfortable, wealthy, rich, decadent. Law: anarchic, disorganized, harmonious, strict, severe, draconian.
April 27: Law & Order attribute now measures ratio between troops and population. Affects morale.
April 27: Wealth attribute now measures ratio between resources and population. Affects morale.
April 27: Population now a separate stat from troops. Increases each cycle. Village size definitions (thorp, hamlet, village, small town, large town, city, metropolis) based on population and updated each cycle.
April 27: Morale attribute added. Affected by taxes and success/failure in attack raids.
April 27: Taxes added. Set high, low, or medium from settlement overview.
April 27: Village description added on overview page. Describes your village by pulling various stats out.
April 26: You may now change your settlement's name. Villages now have a default name of "New Village" until changed.
April 26: Hire mercenaries and dismiss troops functions added.
April 26: Trade options added - send gold or troops to another settlement. [this taken from this thread]
April 26: Game launched.

[rob01]

someone got this working for vb4?

[Morrus]

Dunno, but my 3.8 version is coming along well.

Buildings, navies, blockades, cavalry, artillery, ranks - too much stuff to list!

[Eruantien]

Looking for a vB4 version as well.

[kevin.kool]

I'm really love this game :)
Will you update and add more functions to this game, Jaxel ? :)

[need2fart]

Are you going to release your version? :D

[Developerz]

Unfortunately, this one is abandoned. Would have loved to buy it or at least communicate with the coder about it.

Jaxel is developing for XenForo now. As far as can tell, he's not developing Conquest for that software, either.

While you couldn't release a version of your own (at least, not unless Jaxel opened up approval for it), if your additions could be worked into an add-on for Conquest, you'd be able to release it that way. I know I would love to see expansion of this product.

[Developerz]

Do you think this would work in VB4? Need to upgrade my forum soon and this one of the main plugins my members do not want to see go.

Also, is there anything even close to it on VB4?
