tagged for now, really nice mod.
Is forumon RPG just a battle system between members?I mean can I create a story that members go through?
moreover, how many maps can I show? only one or there is an option to add more or Night version of the same map
thanks in advance

[DragonByte Tech]

Is forumon RPG just a battle system between members?Currently, it's Member vs AI only.

I mean can I create a story that members go through?There's no extensive tools for story generation yet, but they will be added in a future version :)

moreover, how many maps can I show? only one or there is an option to add more or Night version of the same mapThere's currently only the one world map, but a night/day system is an interesting idea indeed :D

Fatal error: Call to a member function build_cache() on a non-object in /home/hoodlege/public_html/forums/forumon.php on line 211

thats the error i get when i try n go into it

[DragonByte Tech]

Do you have vBShout installed? If not, please disable the vBShout Integration in vBulletin Options -> DragonByte Tech: Forumon - [DBTech] vBShout Integration Settings.

Fillip

[legion!]

yes i do have Vbshout installed...

[DragonByte Tech]

What version of vBShout do you have installed? I think you're the first person to experience (or at least report) this problem.

At any rate, it can be fixed manually by doing this:
Go to DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> Add New Instance.
Set the options as per this screenshot:
123420

Then once you've saved, hover over the "Edit" link for this newly created instance and note down the Instance ID. So if the link is [yoursite]/admincp/vbshout.php?do=modifyinstance&instanceid=26 the instance id is 26.

Go to vBulletin Options -> DragonByte Tech: Forumon - [DBTech] vBShout Integration Settings and set the Instance ID setting to the number you found in the previous step, then click Save.

It will then be safe to re-enable the Integration.

Hope that helps :)

Ok ive nstalled everything got it up and running added species and everything...now wen i go into an area and click Hunt...the page jus loads but never goes to the Hunt page....

[legion!]

Also the shoutbox wont work for the RPG...i i disable theinstance then it works...but if i try to follow those directions above then turn t back on it wont allow me to i get the same error

[DragonByte Tech]

Ok ive nstalled everything got it up and running added species and everything...now wen i go into an area and click Hunt...the page jus loads but never goes to the Hunt page....Are you the same person who posted this to the Project Tools over at DBTech? If so, please don't post them across multiple sites.
If not, then it's been reported and I'm working with that person to figure out what happened :)

Also the shoutbox wont work for the RPG...i i disable theinstance then it works...but if i try to follow those directions above then turn t back on it wont allow me to i get the same errorHmm, that's really odd...
Are you able to PM me with an Admin account with "Can Administer Settings" and "Can Administer vBShout", as well as an FTP account? If so, I should be able to solve this for you :)


Fillip

[legion!]

Yes i am the one that posted it over there, the onlyreason i came here is because I couldnt navigate back to the section on your site where I posted it lol...I looked everywhere I know i posted it somewhere, so I jus came here and posted it up, as far as an admin account on my site I should be able to set you up...Do you know Enigma? he works with your company I think he is an administrator at my site

[Forumi Shqiptar]

tagged for the time being, looks a very interesting mod to add...

[legion!]

Hey i was wondering if...we changed the body parts into maybe Human body parts...so our members can create human battle people...wt like a darth vader head or sum shit like that...is it possible?

[DragonByte Tech]

Changing the stock images isn't supported, they're very carefully designed and configured to work together in unison to create the monster combinations.

Adding new ones might be possible, however due to the complex nature of the mod, a strong grasp of graphical design and a working knowledge of PHP is required.
Here's the explanation I gave someone else:

Look at the files in /dbtech/forumon/includes/monsters_config - they should tell you what you need to know.

The image files that the priority array reference is in /dbtech/forumon/images/monsters/parts

v1.0.4 has been released to fix all outstanding known issues.

To upgrade, follow the normal procedure when updating a product.

- DragonByte Tech Development Team

[stickskills]

Pretty sure that I'll be adding this to our forums in the near future, just may wait for another update or two. Looks very similar to Pokemon in theory, so I'm sure it'll bring back some nostalgia for our members haha. Keep up the great work!

[Digital Jedi]

I had no idea you had one of these for vB3. I'll be sure to give it a whirl.

Games. More games. Must have more games....

[need2fart]

Would be cool if instead of the AI you battled your members haha.

[DragonByte Tech]

That will be a feature of a future version :)


Fillip

[Digital Jedi]

That will be a feature of a future version :)


Fillip
Will it be included in the Lite versions?

[DragonByte Tech]

Too early to tell at this point in time :(


Fillip

[Digital Jedi]

Too early to tell at this point in time :(


Fillip
:( indeed.

:)

And just to be sure, do the image directories that need to be CHMOD'd include any subdirectories they may have?

[Digital Jedi]

I didn't see this in the documentation anywhere, but I was wondering if the product is supposed to be disabled after installing it? I kept looking around for permissions and such, and forumadmin.php said it was active. It was just a fluke that I happened to notice it turned off in the Product Manager.

EDIT: How in the Sam Hill did you get the script to put a link in my navbar when I'm using a custom DHTML menu? That's astounding.

[DragonByte Tech]

:( indeed.

/monsters has a few subdirectories.

Heh, for some reason, I thought I was no longer using tables or vbmenu_option in my navbar menu. I'm apparently confusing myself. Which is always entertaining. Even for me.

[DragonByte Tech]

/monsters has a few subdirectories. Ah, narp those aren't needed, just the main dir.

It's where images of player created monsters will be stored.

Oh, I see. You were at forumonadmin.php. You probably just put your files in the wrong place or they didn't upload properly.

[Eduardo Leon]

yeah ..

well i try all ..

to erase for complete the files and re install but nothing :S !

[DragonByte Tech]

Try disabling all other addons and see if the problem still occurs.

Fillip

[need2fart]

Heyy, do you still plan on integrating user vs user? :D

[Digital Jedi]

I'm having a little trouble with forumonadmin.php since updating Info Panels and vBActivity. It seldom loads the style information the first time, usually just loading a white unstyled page of links. And after a refresh I get the page to load and then I get random errors, such as Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_Shutdown::shutdown() in /***/public_html/cogonline/forums/dbtech/forumon/includes/functions.php on line 237
in different admin frames but always at the bottom.

[DragonByte Tech]

Uploaded a hotfix for that error :)

Not much I can do about the stylesheet thing, though...


Fillip

[Digital Jedi]

Thanks for that. Er, I got another one. Sorry. :erm:

There's now an empty menu in the Forumon Admin CP, right between Species and Enemies.

[DragonByte Tech]

Updated.

It was part of a small change that's meant to go in the next version :)


Fillip

[DragonByte Tech]

Forumon v1.0.4 (Hotfix)

[need2fart]

Does it support member vs member yet? :D

[DragonByte Tech]

Does it support member vs member yet? :D

Nope, it'll probably be a while before there is a major update - we have about 15-20 mods and there are a number due an update before this one.

Unfortunately Forumon does not support PHP4. Please either use your WHM solution to upgrade to PHP5, or ask your host to upgrade for you.

PHP4 has been EOL (End of Life) for about 5-6 years now, and is no longer supported by PHP.

Ah thanks I forgot to update it to PHP5 we have the option of doing that

[DragonByte Tech]

- Forumon RPG v1.0.6:
Feature: Colour Sets for monster colours is now available for creation and use
Change: Performance updates

Fillip

[plazzman]

Just out of curiousity, if I were to design all the necessary images, how much would you charge to either put them in for me, or tell me how to do it myself? I have slight knowledge, but not extensive.

I want to do what the guy on the first page wanted to in changing the dragons to humans. As I'd like to make this an MMA game, and after searching for months, I think your mod is the best suited for that.

Full credit for the game would obviously go to you. If you can, please inbox me, I'd very much appreciate it.

Tagged/Installed/Nominated for the meantime :)

There's no selectable monsters for your starter monster. Please contact an RPG Administrator. Go Back.

Any ideas?

[DragonByte Tech]

Have you tried to create monsters via the Forumon RPG AdminCP (link is in the footer of every page next to the normal vB AdminCP link)?

Fillip

[PAKIDIL]

Will it work with vb 3.7+ also any chance of member vs member?

[DragonByte Tech]

We've not tested this mod on vB 3.7, but in theory it should work.
