Yet another Stats/Level Hack

[Knoman]

After my rantings in the other thread about people posting my codes, I've decided to forget everything that happen and post my version of the EXP/HP/MP hack. Most people will not need this hack because it will only apply to gaming forums; specifically RPG forums.

This hack works in such a way that:

HP drops and rises according to the members activeness.
MP determins how long a user has been with the forums, and how active they are.
EXP determins how close a user is to reaching the next level.

EDIT: To prevent non-legit vb owners from installing this hack, I have removed it from this post. Instead, just scroll down to Neo's post in this thread and download the file.

Nice Hack!

Thanks for sharing.

[UOSaint]

I don't seems to be able to see the Exp calculations included
and do I need to include the level too?

Pls help.

[Neo]

im not worthy, im not worthy, im scum, i suck,

i own a role playing forum, thank you so much this will really help me out;)


thanks again for this, here is the zip file i made for it, with the images.

[Knoman]

UOSaint, the EXP would be calculated in the variable $EP. And yes, you need to use my levels code because all the other parts requires the $levels variable.

Edit:
but if you mean that if you should add each and every level in by hand, no you shouldn't. This code should create the levels automatically.

$level?=?pow?(log10?($post[posts]),?3);

[UOSaint]

cool thanks

[Knoman]

Yes, we've all seen that code before. But the problem with that is that you have to type in every levels by hand and also, the EXP will eventually surpass 100%

I've made mines so that when the exp reaches 100%, you would "level up" and the EXP starts all over.

Edit: Also in my version, I've included an HP bonus multiplyer for those who greatly exceeds the 10 post per day average. This way, it's impossible for people with the same level to get the same stats

[Team36]

I dont know how this code got out, I havent posted it anywhere, anyhow I just had to post it, I will do a mod to your code, your is well written, I just didnt think, was going for that admin could set its own vars the way he/she wants them displayed.

Was thinking about costum administration.

same thing with my stars hack, its edited by hand for full control, and well sames a hell of a time when upgrading to new version of the forum.

make stars.php

insert and call it by where ever you want it, include('./stars.php'); in any .php file

modify the code as much as you want.
i never added in a custom admin or cutom mod stats
because i treat all my members the same way.

the reason why i'm willing to give up my hack is
because i'm currently expanding it myself.
soon, people will be able to use their mp to "heal"
themselves and other members. afterwards, i'm
creating a money system where members are
awarded cash for allowances and for completing
quests. this money can be used to buy upgrades
in amor and weapons in the local shops in the Role
Playing Forums.

Can you share just the healing code pls?

[Knoman]

nope :p
i'm keeping my RPG forums one step above the rest

[Dakota]

This is great, but you may want to add a

</table>

to the end of the postbits template part other wise you will have really screwed up frames.

[Knoman]

:P

Now, I've played a lot with my postbit templates... so you might experience some cosmetic abnormalities... just use your html abilities to fix it.

[Mega]

Damn..

That MAxHP thingy is some code..

Never could have guessed that ! :D

[Team37]

Cool, care to shair it with me, i have some cool hacks too that are not released to public, : )

Email me sometime webmaster@hololith.com

DNS move, server might be down for 2 days till mail works.

[merltock]

Thanks alot for the code avalon/knoman...:D

[merltock]

I've made a complete zip version of this hack, for 2.0.3. :)

[Neo]

did you see the zip version i made on the first page;)

[Neo]

hey i was think for this hack, since i run on a role playing that there could be a stats under the levels, it would be a small pop up and would contain strength, magic power, speed, evade, stamana, hit rating, you know things like that. i think it would be a nice add to it

[Knoman]

I've actually did something like that... but I thought no one would really care for it. So, I scapped it.

[MrLister]

:) now i have to choose between 3 stats hack.. they all seem soo good.

[TGO]

I got this installed fine on 2.0.3.

Thanks, this is a great hack :)

[afterlab]

Installed it a couple hours ago. Nice hack. *bows down to AllSquare*

Your contribution is greatly appreciated upon us. :p

[Knoman]

thank you kindly....btw

YOUR FORUMS LOOK SWEET!

[Neo]

hmm well if you ever have the need to make more stats for the rp thing just give me a pm or such , i am really interested

[Neo]

hey i was kind of thinking of something that would use a dice roller or random out put generator to make a like battle / train function. something that when you click on it it goes through the process and then if you get 6,7 you get a more exp 8,9 a level update and a 10 some kind of thing .. and so one for negative. i think it would be a really nice add to a role playing site

[TGO]

Does this work with 2.2.0?

[Neo]

it sure does

[afterlab]

Yo knoman.. Anyway you can make this appear in the user's Profile? I tried once but I got all "-INF" around, so it obviously didn't worked but yet responded.

[Knoman]

you would have to edit the members.php file... exactly where? i'm not so sure.

[Mr. X]

Is it possible to change the bar graphics?

[Neo]

to what? you can change the look of the graphic bars by editing the bar images

[Mr. X]

k Im just asking.

But this hack seriously butchered the look of my test forum, see attatchment. Guess I gotta get my feet wet and play with the code. :)

[TGO]

I got it working on 2.2.0 just after I asked, heh.What would be cool is if you could hack the memberlist so that you could sort by level. Everyone at my forum loves this hack Knoman, thanks alot man :)

I changed the bar graphics to some a little less..bright. Feel free to use these if you like (http://www.matrixforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=1052)

Did you close the table in the postbit template edit?

[Mr. X]

I just copied and pasted. I have no idea what else to do. good thing its installed on my test forums. :)

[Neo]

is there a way that i can make this a pop up or go to a different page? like have a link under the post count that says view user stats?

and X put a </table> at the end of the code then it should work;)

[Mr. X]

sweet thanks a lot :)

Is there a way that I can make the font smaller, and use Arial instead?

[Neo]

just another random thought, since you run off a FF rp borad Knoman you could have a Limit Bar, something that if you get over lets say 50 post the limit bar goes all the way up.. hmm... i am trying to make something like that.

[Knoman]

i see no point in a limit break. neo, those are some great ideas that you have, but i will not code them. i only released my codes out of anger and to prove that mine was the original and the better of the hp/mp hacks. right now, i'm working on a fighting engine that will work with this code. do not expect me to release it to the public.

[Neo]

no prob, i was just asking what you think about it, cuz i am coding stuff and such, i do know i little about coding, and i am in the works of my own fighting engine;) but its cool man thanks for the code:D

and X put <smallfont> before the table and </smallfont> after the table end so for the font.. not to sure

[Mr. X]

Awesome thanks. I even figured out how to remove the border. I am so totally l33t. :)

[Neo]

Heh. No problem anytime

We've been doing the virtual money thing for almost 11 months now.

Just last month I managed to automate it in PHP (we've only been on vB for 2 months)

Take a look if you want. http://130.194.171.148/board/store.php

I'm almost finished my basic points-giving script as well.

[Neo]

will you be posting in or selling it at all? cuz i know i want it

[Palmer ofShinra]

Just the points thing?

Free... it's too small and simple to charge for.

If all goes well I may have it up by tomorrow.

[Neo]

thats cool, are you going to post the store to use the points?

[Palmer ofShinra]

Uh, no.

It's easy to do if you know what to do...

But the Store is dependant on a half dozen other custom mini-hacks and tweaks spanning 5 different files I think maybe more).

Plus the code is VERY Shinra-specific, almost everything is hard-coded, and adapting it to general usage would take longer than to just rewrite the thing from scratch.

Besides... that's our forum's edge.

I've given the code to ONE other person, but he's done a lot for Shinra as well and runs a sister forum.

I gave him the code over a week ago... he still doesn't have it working in his forum.

[Neo]

wow that cool, it ok that you keep the store. umm may i ask what the mini hacks you added it to are you could pm if you dont want to post it here i am just very interested to see how you did this. i like the rent a forum part its cool;)

[Mr. X]

Ok ok, last question :)

Check out the attached shot.

How do I make it so that signatures stay on the bottom? theres way to much space cuz I guess the bars and stuff stretch out the table?

Here is the code I have:

<smallfont><br>
<p> <b>Level: $showlevel<br>

Also one last thing then I'll shutup. Can I have the postnumber/location/register information on TOP of the stats instead of on the very bottom, while maintaining the signatures be at the very bottom as they were before the hack? Thanks for any help! :)

[Mr. X]

duh. forgot to attach

[Neo]

use valign tags... like valign="bottom" and such

[fonzerelli_79]

just a small note to say thanks for a great hack knoman

easy to understand and easy to install

all the best

I have the same problem (see attachment), but I'm no coder and I can't figure out where to put the valign tags. At least when I try, I can't seem to get the message at the top of the cell and everything else at the bottom - I don't even know if this is possible without splitting the cell. If someone knows how to do this, I'd be very grateful :)

[Neo]

ok, i believe the sig thing is in the postbit template, so go into that and find where the sig code itself is, then see if there is a <tr> or <td> and put a valign="bottom" and if that does not work [post the code and i will try and fix it for yah

[trilOByte]

Thanks neo...
Here's the code ...


<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="100%" valign="top">
<smallfont>$post[icon] <b>$post[title</b></smallfont>
<p><normalfont>$post[message]</normalfont></p>
$post[attachment]
<p>$post[signature]</p>
<p>$post[editedby]</p>


what I want to do is

valign="top" ---> $post[message]

but

valign="bottom" ---> $post[attachment] and everything else beneath. I don't know if this is possible or not, but everything I try ends up is screwy tables - no surprise to me cos I can't code worth squat :)

Any help would be gratefully appreciated :)

ta :)

Yes I've tried that neo and not surprisingly, it does drop the message as well. What I want, is for the message to be aligned to the top, but the sig and everything beneath it in the code shown, to be aligned to the bottom (I thought I was pretty clear that this is what I am trying to do). This I do not know how to do. I don't code html - or any other language, so if anyone can advise - I'd be grateful :)

[trilOByte]

I tried replacing the above code with..

<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" width="100%" valign="top" height="233">
<smallfont>$post[icon] <b>$post[title]</b></smallfont>
<p><normalfont>$post[message]</normalfont></p>

But the tables get screwed up - any suggestions?

Knoman - great hack - thanks.

Just a quickie though - I need to post something to explain all the ratios that appear and how the stats are calculated from thier (users) posts. Those users not familiar with RPG's might be especially confused at first.

Can you give me some info? Ta :)

[Neo[THK]]

that?s what i try to find out at the moment..

a good description for my members, so that everybody easily understands this thingy =)

cause even i have problems to fully understand this really great hack :)

so i would be very glad about a short description :)

thx

neo

[trilOByte]

Anything bud, just a brief description of what users have to do to affect the numbers and how they relate :)

tnx

[Castel]

Cool hack, the forum users are loving it. I've made it a user option however that can be turn on or off. Not all visitors like all those bell and whistles :)

[Neo]

and how did you do that

[Castel]

I'll document it properly within the next few days.

[Knoman]

just create two styles: one with the hacked template, and one without. then let your members chose the style they wish.

as for an explanation of the hack, look at the first page.

[afterlab]

Hey Knoman, anyway you can make this appear in a member's Profile?

[fonzerelli_79]

i dont know why but this hack is not working properly now for some reason

an example is at http://www.manutdchat.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=15#post15


does anyone know what could be wrong

for administrators : i have purchased another vbulletin licsence for this site and i can verify the order no if required. thanks

[fonzerelli_79]

nevermind

im just going to remove the hack anyway

[Logtenberg]

What line(s) do I modify so that members require more posts to increase to a new level.

Some of my members have made 300+ posts and they are at level 16 with the current hack.

I would prefer if they would only be at say... level 8.

Once the levels start getting in the double digits, it looses it's appeal for me. So I would like it to be harder (require more posts) for members to get a new level.

Thanks!!

PS - I am also interested in having the stats (level specifically) on the members profile. Any idea what needs to be done there? :)

[winston]

It worked finein the 2.20 but now in 2.21 it displays all wierd like no exp on a 1100 post user
and the userlevel is like 1.112332243243
I copied andpasted it perfectly in admin/ functions.php

[|DarkManX|]

i think a breakdown of what HP, MP, and EXP are would be very good....


i have members wondering how it works exactly also :)

[fonzerelli_79]

i have removed this hack but when i did you it i had a link to my faq3 and i put

<p>You have probably noticed the coloured bars at the side of each post, just below the member's avatar. This is our graphical system which lets you see how active and experienced a member is.</p>
<p>The bars represent :
<ul><li><font color="red">The Red Bar </font>: Drops and rises according to the members activeness.</li>
<li><font color="green">The Green Bar </font>: Determines how long a user has been with the forums, and how active they are. </li>
<li><font color="blue">The Blue Bar</font> : Determines how close a user is to reaching the next level.</li></ul>
</p>

I hope this helps you out winston

[trilOByte]

Just look at the code for an explanation of how it's worked out. All the maths is in there and is reasonably easy to work out most of it, even if you are not a coder.


$level = pow (log10 ($post[posts]), 3);
$ep = floor (100 * ($level - floor ($level)));
$showlevel = floor ($level + 1);
$hpmulti =round ($postsperday / 6, 1);
if ($hpmulti > 1.5) {
$hpmulti = 1.5;
}
if ($hpmulti < 1) {
$hpmulti = 1;
}

$maxhp = $level * 25 * $hpmulti;
$hp= $postsperday / 10;
if ($hp >= 1) {
$hp= $maxhp;
} else {
$hp= floor ($hp * $maxhp);
}

etc...........................



Though I would appreciate an "english" explanation of it myself, as I can't follow all the maths in the code and don't understand why some of the variables have been set at the numbers they are at.

[|DarkManX|]

yea, i don't really get that either.....

plain english would be good :cool:

[Knoman]

Let's break it down to simple English, shall we?

$level = pow (log10 ($post[posts]), 3);
This is a simple logarithm that will calculate the how much post a member needs in order to get to the next level. This is the engine that will control all other calculations. Now, I've cubed it so leveling resembles Final Fantasy; where the max level is 99. If you are into D&D, squaring the formula would be best, requiring a lot of post before a user can reach level 20. In short, the higher the exponent, the quicker it is to level up.

$ep = floor (100 * ($level - floor ($level)));
This is the basis for the Experience system. What i did here, was take the remainder (or mod) from the Level logarithm and converted it to a percentage. I wasnt sure if PHP had a MOD function, so I did it the hard way.

$showlevel = floor ($level + 1);
I cant have a user with level zero, but i didnt want to affect the engine with a false number either. So, I created another variable $showlevel and added 1, which will only be used to show users, and wont affect the calculations.

$hpmulti =round ($postsperday / 6, 1);
if ($hpmulti > 1.5) {
$hpmulti = 1.5;
}
if ($hpmulti < 1) {
$hpmulti = 1;
}
This code here was to add to the randomness. This is my HP bonus multiplier. I took the post per day and divided by six and rounded it to the tenths decimal. I use a few IF functions to prevent it from being too high and too low.

$maxhp = $level * 25 * $hpmulti;
Determins the Max HP. Not much to be said here, 25 just seem to be a nice number.

$hp= $postsperday / 10;
If a person couldnt perform a ten post per day average, HP will drop.

if ($hp >= 1) {
$hp= $maxhp;
} else {
$hp= floor ($hp * $maxhp);
}
Sets the limit on how high your HP will go. Keeps it at or under the Max HP

$hp= floor ($hp);
$maxhp= floor ($maxhp);
HP calcualations are down. Rounding down for viewing sake.

if ($maxhp <= 0) {
$zhp = 1;
} else {
$zhp = $maxhp;
}
Debugs the Divide by Zero error.

$hpf= floor (100 * ($hp / $zhp)) - 1;
Is used in the templates.

$maxmp= ($jointime * $level) / 5;
Determins Max MP. Again, the 5 just seems right.

$mp= $post[posts] / 3;
Determins MP, not sure why I chose to do what I did, but it works. This is the reason why MP is still a mystery to my members and even to me.

if ($mp >= $maxmp) {
$mp = $maxmp;
}
Keeps MP from going above its max.

$maxmp = floor ($maxmp);
$mp = floor ($mp);
MP calculations done. Rounding down.

if ($maxmp <= 0) {
$zmp = 1;
} else {
$zmp = $maxmp;
}
Debugs the divide by zero error.

$mpf= floor (100 * ($mp / $zmp)) - 1;
Is used in the templates.

[Meta]

Thank you, Knoman ... lovely hack!


Afterlab ... i found a way to get it into the members profile. See how i did it in the member.php:

$userinfo[avatarurl]=getavatarurl($userinfo[userid]);
if ($userinfo[avatarurl]=="") {
$userinfo[avatarurl]="images/clear.gif";
}

// start levelhack
$level = pow (log10 ($userinfo[posts]), 3);
But it also needs a little finetuning ... e.g. change variable-names like

$posts[posts]in

$userinfo[posts] and so on.


Maybe this helps you. If not and you encounter problems feel free to ask. But the hardest thing (for me) was to find the right place in member.php ... the finetuning isn't hard.


Nice hack, Knoman, did i mention it? Thank you!

[afterlab]

Thanks meta, that worked. I mixed it up a bit too in my profile. Cya around.

[sctsnipe]

I have 2.2.1, and i cant find that first line we need, the 'if ($post' thingy, any help? I looked in showthread.php!

[sctsnipe]

Haha nevermind i got it. i had to go to functions.php, not showthread, i fixedit, good.

BTW awsome code, really great, ill use this forever.

[fonzerelli_79]

its weird

my mp isn't right

its either 0/0 or 1/1 or 7/7

never 6/7 or 2/7 or whatever

what do you think is wrong

just close the table in the code you inserted in your postbit. The hack forgot to close the table.

[Sinecure]

You can see what I did with this at http://board.pixeljunction.com
I think it turned out well :)

*Click instal link :D*

[Bimma Boy]

This hack is very good and my members love it but a proper explanation to it would be the finishing touch!

It would be nice if some one can post a clear conscise explanation to each bar and how the maths to all of this work, Im sure myself and others alike will be very grateful.

All i know is when exp reached 100% u level up! but what drives this exp to increase in the first place? I also know if you dont make 10 posts a day your HP will fall, but how does this increase? or decrease if it does..?

HP - Whats this? in plain english? Im showing as 91/419 - what are these numbers?

MP - This is what I saw on another forum about this

MP get loose if you didnt post for a day...you should at least post once...but that will always drop down your HP...about loosing MP...


sorry, I just cant get my head round that, pls can u explain this in detail = I thought you had to make 10 posts a day?

Thanks in advance!

ps: I do read all the posts here, The above explanation by the hack writer is very technical to understand, plain english please so my members can make sense of it all!:) thanks

[Knoman]

wow... i've thought i have made this hack very clear, but i guess plain english isnt good enough :D

like i've mentioned earlier, this hack was spun off of role playing games (i.e. final fantasy). hp stands for health points. the more your points, well.... the better your health is. mp stands for magic points, your ability to cast certain spells and such. and, well... you know what experience is.

now, what drives this entire system is this one code:
$level = pow (log10 ($post[posts]), 3);

what that code does is set the standard at when a member is able to level up, and how much hp/mp s/he should recieve. a low level member is able to reach the next level very easily (only requiring a handful of posts). those at the high end levels would require a whole lot more posts to achieve the next level.

the rise and fall of the hp meter is determine by this variable $postperday. what that does is take the total number of posts and devide it by the total number of days the person has been registered. the quotient is then taken and divided even further by the max hp... by doing so, it gives me a percentage that changes constantly.

i've feel that i've explained everything the best way that i could. any further would be me teaching you how to read and understand php... or any programming language for the matter. none of this is technical, it's mostly multiplication and division. this was my very first project with php. i knew nothing about it. but what i did was open a math book and headed to php.net.

you give a man a fish, he feeds for a day.
you teach a man to fish, he feeds for life.

[Bedhead]

Awesome hack.

Loving it!

Thanks EH!

[NUTNDUN]

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with why the level hack works fine for members already registered, but wit members that have just registered and made a potst the text for each stat is messed up, it is saying
Level: 1.#QNAN
Member ID: 26
Activity: 1.#QNAN / 1.#QNAN
Popularity: 1.#QNAN / 1.#QNAN
Experience: 1.#QNAN%

I love this hack, I just wish I could get this bug worked out.

I still haven't gotten this to work, I thought I did because it works when I view the board from my machine, but when anyone else views it or if I view it from one of the other two machines it doesn't work either. I even tried it from a non-hacked install of 2.2.1 and still got the same output. Hopefully someone can help me with this.

[Edgar]

First of all,congrats with this magnificent hack.
Though I have one small problem.

Everything works expect the bars won't fill up,they stay empty.
I uploaded the images to my images folder,which is right?

The url is http://www.avalancheonline.net/forums/index.php

[Island Roots]

Hmmm...I created the directory "bar" in my images folder, but for some reason, the bars don't show up. Also, the MP is either all the way up (making a fraction that equals one) or all the way down. :confused:

[Island Roots]

NM, I got it. But I don't like the borders...Sinecure, would you mind posting the code/or saying how you made those borders? I'm not expert at HTML.

[Island Roots]

I have one more question...how would I go about making those three bars be on one line? I want to put them above the Profile, Search, WWW, PM, etc buttons at the bottom of each post.

[Sinecure]

I simply made a start image [LEFT] and a right image [RIGHT]. Then I made a middle image and that image extends depending on the amount of popularity, activity etc.. I'll try and make a little example here ;)

[L][---------------BG][R]

L= The left image ;)
------ = The image for the tube. Extends depending on pop/actvity etc.. :)
BG = the background image so that it has a default size..
[R] = Right image :)

I would prefer not to post the code, as I don't want people using the same images as myself :)

Using 2.2.1

[Erwin]

Works beautifully - thanks!

Make sure you install the gif files into your forums/images/bar directly.

And add the </table> tag to the bottom of the code you need to post in postbit.

[Knoman]

i will no longer support this hack. reason being, i've started something new. here's a quote at what i'm doing now.


Post counts no longer affect your experience. You need to do some serious battling with other members.
HP will rise/fall when someone heal/attack you. MP reacts the same way. When you Level UP, you get credits to raise whatever stats you wish (attack, defence, intelligence...etc).

There will now be a Money system. You get cash from battles and tournaments. You only get one GP a day for just being on the forums. So you might want to partake in the battles. You can use the cash you earn to buy weapons and items fromt the local merchant.

Merchants are needed to run the shops. A shop cannot stay open if a merchant decides to go on a quest. Each merchant will have to buy raw material to make their weapons. They can name their weapons what ever they like, but the stats for the weapon (attackup, agilityup) and abilities (silence, blind, paralyze) will require certain amount of raw material that must be bought. Using this method, merchants can't make "GOD" weapons out of no where. To become a merchant, you must have enough money to do so, or apply for a loan in the Allsquare Bank (moderated).

During battles, you will get to chose different attacks and spells to use. These all depend on your level (to prevent power gaming) and your race, class, and job.

Before you can start any of this, you will first have to chose your race and class. Certain races (human, elves, dwarfs) have certain abiliities. Get all the info you need before you select a race, for when you decide to change, all of you stats will reset. Your class will determine your innate abilities (light, neutral, dark). These determine the strengths and weakness of your attack and spells. Your job (fighter->warrior->knight-> or apprentice->wizard->seer, etc, etc) will determine what type of attack or spells you can use.

[slideboxer]

Cool.

[Meta]

Yes ... absolutely cool!

[Shadowwalker]

Hey nice hack.

[Erwin]

Knoman, if you decide to release this, let me know! ;) Your stats hack is great!

[Knoman]

my stats hack is old and getting played out... i had it since june.

anyways, i'm not the only one working on the new hack. neo and i have joined forces into creating the ultimate rpg/vbulletin hack.

so far, we've been able to choose different classes to start out with. each having it's own spells and techniques, strength, defence, and wisdom. members can already battle each other and earn money and experience. bascially, the battle system is done... with the exception of a few leveling variables.

what's being worked on now is the merchant abilities and the card fighting/collecting game.

[Shadowwalker]

Well avalon it seems a lot different than one you used to have at allsquare, at least I'm unbanned, and can see this hack.

[Knoman]

it's not in allsquare... but in a testing board. only mods, admins, and those who i pick can see the new hack in progress

[Shadowwalker]

I know are you almost done, and will it resemble the old hack in any way.

[Knoman]

you will see the same hp/mp/exp bars... but you also get an extra link that will allow fight members, form a party and join a quest, shop sell or make items, and play my version of the card game played in final fantasy 9

[Shadowwalker]

Cool it sounds even better than I thought.

plz make some kinda mailing list for ur progress?

Also Knoman I have another request, can You please have the installiation in an install_blabla.php so we dont have to manually add tables and queries, cause I cant do that 4 my life. A generally simple installiation, make sure its for vbb 2.2.1 too! ;)

[Knoman]

um.... it's not going to be released. i just like gloating :D

[Shadowwalker]

...

...

...

...Not even at Allsquare.

...

...

...

...NOOO!!!!

[Knoman]

no.... it will be displayed/used at allsquare... but i just wont release the hack to the general public.

[Shadowwalker]

Okay... *Falls over from heart attack.*

[Psychdrone]

jezz guys you should be happy he decided to release his old hack :frus:

If I spent my time and detication working on a hack, I don't think I would just give it away, right off the bat, lol

[sixflagsnews]

Hey guys im new here, so please be nice when i ask, i love that hack, but how do i add it in my VBulletin Forums? can someine please go step by step, or best they can, Thanks guys

[Psychdrone]

wow I have been able to see there new hack, and well I must say, It looks very promissing! however you would only want it, if your forums, were bases on roleplaying!

BUt wow it dose look grand!
To bad all you rpg freaks won't get it!

[Knoman]

and this from a guy who hasnt even played it yet. lol
fear not, psychodrone, the code is complete enough for you to start battling each other.

[Soma]

Hi not sure if this was asked if it was plz excuse me.

On my forums http://www.forwardbunker.com/vb I installed the exp hack the only problem is that the bars dont match the percent. its actually totally off can someone plz help me with this thanx

[zajako]

I have made a edit of knomans rpg hack. It is loaded with many more features.

---Features List----
HP(Health Points)
MA(Mystic Aura(Magic for my game but you can easily edit this to mp))
PP (Power points similar to magic but goes up slower)
AP(Anger Points(This goes up when your life is low))
Dead Title(When a persons HP is at zero it displays (dead) next to there title)

Also if character is dead it makes all other stats drop to zero.
The rpg bars are also verticle instead of horizontal like the original. you can easily fix this with your 1337 table skills.

Also I don't Take any credit from Knoman. I used his original and added on and edited a bunch

any ways if you use this please let me know cause I want to feel like I did not waste my time posting a hack so that I might continue.

Also If you want to see a working version of this goto my site. I make it reg only not because I want all of you to join just to add to members count, but because I hav extended the agreement for I have information on my game coming out on the forums.

My site is http://www.twistedfate.tk . just go to the community section.

[Shane_2k]

does this work with 2.2.2 at all

please tell me

Hey, thanks alot I just thought I'd let you know that this hack works perfectly on version 2.2.4

I installed it on my board! Great Job!

[E]

i only want Level: $showlevel too be displayed.. do i still need all the code in the functions.php
i just took it all out except
$level = pow (log10 ($post[posts]), 3);
$ep = floor (100 * ($level - floor ($level)));
$showlevel = floor ($level + 1);
and it didnt work :( o well

[E]

i also tried leaving all the code in functions.php
then only putting this is the template:
Level: $showlevel

[|GMK|PlaTooN]

can this hack work on v 2.2.4?????? I added it; it worked fine everything was in order, but I never thought to check the version, so if its not for 2.2.4 would it mess anything up since I added it??? :ermm:

[DarkDraco07]

i have version 2.2.5 php3. is there anyway i can get this hack?

[zajako]

it should work the same way

[Floris]

HP drops and rises according to the members activeness.
MP determins how long a user has been with the forums, and how active they are.
EXP determins how close a user is to reaching the next level.


Hey there :)
I just installed it on my 2.2.5 board at creations.nl and it looks good and works ok (i think) - So THANK you :) members love it :P

I am a little bit stupid, so just want to confirm this:
HP = when a user is online, offline? or when it is posting?
MP = overal activity right? (posts/activity)


What is the top level 999 ? or no end?


I have moved the numbers from the 3 bars to the img alt text, so they only are shown when you move your mouse over the bars. This gave me more room to type the words fullout. And since I have no RPG board, but just a regular vB forum, I have replaced HP with Activity and MP with Populairity and EXP with experience.

I also made an level.php file wich loads up levelhelp template so when users click on the ? icon they are directed to a help page (which loads in a new window).



Additional question..
Anybody knows how I can let users choose whether or not to display the level hack in their profile or not? (turn on/off through user control panel?)

[NyCwill]

xiphoid can i get the level.php is seem very useful...and i love ur forums its nice..

[Floris]

No sorry.
You can download the one that comes with this hack. Mine is integrated in my forum. Thank you for the compliment.

[Floris]

I am sorry! I didn't realize you meant the level.php file I made which provides a seperate (integrated into the forum) help page.

Ofcourse you can have that :)

### Introduction
????????????????
This add-on will add some help to the level/stats hack. This help will be displayed in a seperate page, but integrated with your forum. Below the levels it will have a link called help ? and when pressed on, it will open the page in a new window. (template driven, so easy to alter through the admin control panel, just like any other template). Screenshots and such are all added in the levelhelp.zip file.


### To Do
?????????
All you have to do is upload one file and add a template. Then modify the postbit template, and you are done. Very easy and takes not more then under a few minutes to install.

[ohgenki]

Working well for me, simply a great hack! :)

vB version 2.2.5

Cheers!

I think on my board that hunting for similar sounding names would not prove
fruitful at all.
I suppose it all greatly depends on how many users you have as to the
intensity of an opperation like this. My php & SQL knowledge ends at this
level!

I would much rather concentrate on a script that would use the IPs in the
posts table and look for users using the same IP within a certain time
frame, eg 15 mins. This should catch people out when they change login from
their real name to the false name in order to flame someone.
Obviously doing a search like that on the post table would be a
server-destroying style query, so my plan would be to feed it a user name
that was suspicious. It would then crank back through the last 20 posts of
that user, grab the IPs, then see if anyone had used that IP within 15 mins
of that post time.

Does that make sense? Do you think it would work?

[Floris]

Uhm, I am blonde again or something? Because I do not understand why that post has anything to do with this hack?

[Meirion]

What the hell! I think VB's gone skitz.
I just tried using that email reply feature and I get two confirmation messages saying my post has been accepted... but neither are the thread that it should be in!

"Yet another Stats/Level Hack" and "freddie's Repair &amp; Optimize Database (vB integration)"
The thread I replied to is https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=36269&goto=newpost

haha, that hack is not baked fully yet! Put it back in the oven.

[Floris]

Yeah I noticed, I just chatted to FireFly on IRC about it :) Chen is looking into it.

[karreman]

Only 1 question,

As EXP shows how for u have to go till next level, is this the same has the "amount of posts u posted status"?

Cause my moderators dont have those statusses..

<edit>
Nm that.. installed it :D :D works perfect..

gonna adjust it a bit.. i dont have a rpg forum :S

[pHAZE_1]

i have 2 questions:
how would i change the name of the levels?
no matter where i put this, it jacks up my tables. how would i fix that.. i want it under online status, but it messes it up. any help?

[s o r o k a]

Can some tell me how to get the HP/MP/EXP to show on the forum home...here is my current project! www.fg-forums.com On the welcome panel I want to show it there!

[Cynthia Blue]

Woot! got this up and running it's a hoot. Thanks for the hack!

I have a funny question, I hope I can explain it ok... since I installed it, the people who have very small sigs and only post a little bit in the particular post... inside the post it keeps the sig tightly right below the post text, and so the sig and the IP information is pretty high off the bottom of the cell inside the post.

To force the sig to the bottom I threw a table inside that one table cell which has the post text and signature and the IP address in it (the cell you are currently reading). The table has two cells, the top cell with the post text is aligned top, and the bottom cell with the sig/IP is aligned bottom.

However, I guess the 'height' tag doesn't work all that well, because I can't force the table to be the same height as the cell it's inside. So I made the whole table a certain height (I think 325 now can't remember). This just means it will stretch out any posts which are not big enough.. but it does rather solve the problem of the sig/IP not being flush to the bottom of the post. Not completely, but it helps.

I was wondering if anyone has a better fix for this. I like the sig/IP being flush against the bottom. Would love to hear ideas.

:)

Thanks!

[Atian]

[Atian]

umm,i have a problem o_O it seems that the exp bar splits into 3 chunks or bar in 3 different colors,when the exp reach a certain point,look

[slabuda]

Any able to implement the healing code into this? Wouldn't mind letting my users who have been around a long time, heal themselves a bit.

Thanks

[Paul || MSGN]

Cool hack :D

[disillusioned]

Okay... I took it upon myself to modify this hack slightly to include an animated, 'growing' stat bar...
Demo is here:
http://www.dreamerzrealm.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1209

And now I'm wondering why the Flash movie is forcing an even scale- I use the hpf%, etc to determine the Flash movie's width, and of course, the height scales with it... Which makes the smaller bars skinnier... which is cool, but not my desired result. Any ideas on how to maintain the "9" height?

I was surprised this actually worked for me, honestly!

Comments, suggestions, etc, would be nice!

[Neo]

Cool. But I believe Knoman no longers comes to these parts after the fail of his battle system.... and being asked to many times fro it by users.

[disillusioned]

I wasn't asking him personally- this is more of a weird flash issue than anything... I was just curious about people's response to it, and also if they knew how to fix the weird glitch it's causing me...

I've also installed this hack on 2.3.0 and it works great, thanks.

i added this hack but now look at my post bit....... what can i do to make it look normal and without the spaces

[blakkboy]

^^^^^^^ fixed it

[Gio Takahashi]

I installed this a good while ago, but had to redo the template and take out the gauges due to the crappy html the instruction gave. Finally I was able to fix it and it looks very nice. :clicks install at long last:

I installed this a good while ago, but had to redo the template and take out the gauges due to the crappy html the instruction gave.

Hello Takahasi, were you previously using round gauges? or just the bars?

[Gio Takahashi]

Oh I have no more problem with it, earlier I had to only use text because the html that came with the hp stuff didn't agree with my post bit so I had to redo it, Now it looks a lot better.

[glo]

I have installed this hack now!

Thanks in knoman! Love your work!

[blakkboy]

how can i remove the space between my avatar and level hack?????

also how can i unbold the level, hp, exp and all that so it looks just like the rest of the postbit?

[glo]

blakkboy, just remove the <br> above the level hack and to unbold the level hack. just remove the <b> at the start of the level hack and the </b> after it.

hope it helps!

[blakkboy]

^^^^^ cool ill do that

[bonken]

groovy dude !!
