ill write a script to do that and post it up here later. It will set all item stocks to a selected number.

Alright, i'm the guy who was having trouble with the HP/MA/PP/AP stats. All the bars and numbers(with the exception of the EXP) were not going anywhere. They all stayed at 0/0. I found out that you have to click 'Update Stats' found in the UserCP to actually get it displaying numbers and also for the bars to fill up. The problem with this is that the numbers and bars will stay the same until you hit 'Update Stats' again. They all stay at something like 90/90 or 36/36 even after you make new posts and replies. The EXP works just fine though.

I was wondering if you planned on fixing this in the next version so it would update the stats and also the MaxHP, maxAp, maxMA, and maxPP automatically after each post??

The update stats link is getting removed from the next version. It is going to be more streamlined. Updating the stats after each post would be a little excessive, in my opinion, because your stats only change when you gain a level. Otherwise, they stay the same. My user's have found it just as easy to update their stats when they gain a new level, since that doesn't occur very often at levels above 10. I think you like the way version 0.56 handles the update stats link.

[Bitsys]

Version 0.56 is complete. There is no upgrade file for it.

Bugs Fixed:

Fixed negative donation steals user's money bug.
Fixed users can change their class and still use class-specific weapons bug.
Fixed many typos and template inconsistencies in the battle templates (nearly all templates were changed).
Fixed the reapeat the battle attack by refreshing the battle screen after attacking bug.
Fixed the incorrect alignment display in the postbit when moving races from one alignment to another bug.
Any other bug that I have previously mentioned as being fixed in this thread plus many other minor ones.


New features:

A PM is now sent to the recipient of monetary donations saying how much was donated and who donated it. Users can also donate anonymously.
In the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp, you can now manually set the stock of each item.
A healing center has been added. TO go to the healing center, use http://www.yourdomain.com/vBulletin/heal.php as the link (replacing "yourdomain" and "vBulletin" with the appropriate values). At the healing center, user's can pay to revive themselves or do partial healings after battles. They can also replenish their MA. If a user is in battle, does not have enough money, or has full HP/MA, then they cannot use the healing center.
Items now have a level associated with them. You can specify whether or not you want item levels hidden from users. If hidden, then a user whose level is below that of the weapon will not be able to see or know that the weapon exists, unless someone else already has the weapon. In which case they will only be able to see it in the postbit or battle fight screen. They will not know the level requirement for it.
A battle statistics page has been added. You can list the Top 10 (or Bottom 10) user's with the most (or least) battles fought, battles won, battles lost, battle draws, and retreats. Click on the headings to switch the order around. You can also display a user's battle statistics in the postbit.
On the update profile page, there is now a checkbox to update your stats, instead of the customary link to a pop-up menu.
You can now specify an auto-refresh time in the admin cp to control how often the battle fight screen refreshes. Calculated in seconds.
Any other feature I have previously mentioned in this thread.


A quirk with the new checkbox to update stats in the modify profile screen is that when you check the box and click the submit button, a lot of variables are output to the screen. This is temporary output for beta testing purposes and will not be displayed in the final version.

The new .zip file is located in the original post.

To install this version, re-install vBulletin, re-upload/overwrite the files included in the .zip, and re-apply the hack (using install.txt as a guide). This version does not have an upgrade file.

Thanks again for beta testing! :)

[Aerith_Freak]

Just a quick question. With the attack function, what type of attacks can a user use, or is there just one attack? Is there a skills tree of any kind?

[Thewnagchung]

i installed this on my forum, works like a charm, THANKS!

ps whenever i try to upload version 56 it still tries to upload 55b

As far as skill trees go, there are none. The user has several attacks available including attack spells, normal attacks, and "anger-motivated" attacks, which deal at least 10% extra damage. Previous versions of the RPG Class Hack had something called "limit breaks", which were special attacks. These were taken out in my hack because there was no easy way to integrate them while still providing some sort of functionality to the users.

If you PM me that line of code from functions.php then I can look at it. However, I am not getting that error in funtions.php, so I am not too sure about what is causing it. Based on the line numbers given, it does not appear that the erroneous code is coming from my hack, although I could be wrong.

Are you on a free/shared server? Did you try re-uploading battlefight.php? The cause of that error is the user item loop. I have never had that error on my forums, but a temporary fix is to do the following (I think):

In battlefight.php, find twice:
while ($count <= $totalcats[0]) {
and BELOW it, add:
if($count > 50)
break;
There are two places you need to do this. They should be right after one another and should look very similar.

Let me know if that helps.

Something did not go right when you ran install_itemshop_items.php. Either that, or you have not properly filled in the point field name in the "Edit Itemshop Options" menu in the admin cp. To figure out what went wrong, in the admin cp go to the modify user profile fields screen and check for a field called Points. If there is not a field called points, then create a new one called "points" and make it hidden to the user, not required, and not editable. After adding it, use the following instructions to get it working:

4. Right click over the edit link and go to copy shortcut

7. Near the end there will be a number. Remember that number
8. Go to edit the itemshop options
9. In the top option put in field# and replace number with the number you recorded in step 7.

It worked for me :banana:
If there is already a field called Points, then use the above instructions to get it working. If none of this works, then let me know.

Could you explain a little more about the battle problem?

[Mrpolish]

Oka that fixed the itemshop and heal problem.

Me and my friend decided to battle and when we were on the battle I was going first and i did not have anything so i had to attack with my bare fists and when i clicked attack an error showed up so i reinstalled the hack about 3 times after that and it still shows that im in battle.
I even deleted the battle entries from the sql databas and its still the same =/

You battle status is based on a field in the `user` table called 'inbattle'. To participate in battles again, change it's value back to 0. You can do this in phpmyadmin by going to the `user` table, browsing till you find your name and your opponents name, and changing the 'inbattle' field to 0.

[Mrpolish]

Oka that fixed the battle prob but there is one more in the moderator.php
Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 48 is not allowed to access ./global.php owned by uid 10018 in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ffrealms.net/httpdocs/moderator.php on line 14

I am not too sure about that error. It might have something to do with your hosts settings. I also notcied that you just installed this hack or another version of it on top of a previous version of it. You have duplicates in you itemshop and your postbit item loop is timing out, indicated by the "Timeout 200" message in the postbits. You would be better off removing the hack and re-applying it on a TEST board, since a test board is easy to delete and re-install.

[Strider Xero]

how do i un-install v .55?

[Bitsys]

Originally posted by Strider Xero

Umm...install it in reverse?

Seriously though, you have several options:

1. If you want to upgrade to the new version, then get Beyond Compare 2 from www.scootersoftware.com. Then, open up the two install files side-by-side (the ones ending with .hack from version 0.55 and 0.56) and make the necessary changes based on the differences in the two files.

2. If you want to uninstall and re-apply, then replace all of your hacked files with the backup files you were supposed to make when you installed the hack the first time. Then, go in to your database and remove tables that begin with "battle", "items", or "rpg". Next, remove any profile fields you (or the hack) added. Next, delete all templates in your template table that begin with "battle", "itemshop", or "rpg_". Last, remove the added fields from the template "modifyprofile" that were added by the hack. You should then be set to re-apply the hack!

Easy as that!

[mli]

It's not that easy....How are we supposed to tell what files we need to edit? And there's soooo many edits? There is no update file? WHY??!!!

[Bitsys]

Originally posted by mli

It is very easy to use the beyond compare methods, since that is how I make the previous upgrade files.
There is no update file because it takes me 2 hours+ to make one. From the warnings section:
Do not install this hack on a production board. Please keep this hack, while in the BETA stage, to a test board. The reason for not installing this on a production board is that I cannot provide upgrade instructions for going from one version of the beta hack to the next version of the beta hack. Also, this hack does not have an un-install script yet. So please remember, if you decide to install this on a production board, you are doing so at your own risk.

Also, it is very hard to test the update file because I have to actually do it, which takes another 45 minutes to an hour based on the number of changes. This particular update has an unusually large number of changes because of all the new features I added.

There is no uninstall script because each uninstall script would have to be different depending on which version you installed. Each version of the un-install script would then need to be tested and re-tested to make sure that it took out everything and worked fine. This takes a long time.

So, economically speaking, it is more productive to work on adding more features for the next version rather than working on an upgrade/un-install script for the current version, as implied in the warnings section. Also, just because I have not made an upgrade script for this version yet, it does not mean I won't do so in the future. It just takes so long to do that I would rather let the Test board people have a go at it before I waste 3 hours making an upgrade file.

This rule does not apply to the final release. If I find a need to update the final release, then upgrade instructions will ALWAYS be included as well as an uninstall script.

[DarkDraco07]

i was working on uninstall files for bitsys's battle hack but i got caught up in other things. ill work on it as soon as i can

Running on localhost.
I have not tried that yet, will do. Thanks for the fix, let you know how it goes

omg :) excellent ! :D <- kills off other rpg styled hacks (in a few days). going to install this. kuodos to all peeps hacks etc, which have been integrated into just one hack.

must say again sweet ! :D

[geniuscrew]

Guys, before you install it, BACK-UP your original files!

This will save you if you want to un-install it for whatever reason.

Gonna upgrade to 0.56 hopefully tonight.

Nice one Bitsys!

[VeoMorphine]

i have no life(well actly i got to got a drill with the firedept tonight but thats not to long) so allow me to make a upgrade script.

Are all the tables the same?

[assassingod]

Still recieving the problem even after the fix.
Any idea what I should do?

[Bitsys]

VeoMorphine:
Nope, 2 or 3 tables had new fields added to them.

assassingod:
An easy fix is to comment out the code. Put "/*" before the loop code and "*/" after the loop code. If this doesn't fix the problem, then there is something seriously wrong.

BTW, the loop code begins with
// Part of the following code comes from a post made byand ends with// End joint fix.So, you should make it look like/*
// Part of the following code comes from a post made byAnd*/ // End joint fix.

[assassingod]

Will try that now, thanks

[Mrpolish]

Where you can change the amount of gold users start with or the amount of gold they get per post ?

I deleted the whole hack like u told me and reinstalled it and now everything works fine along with the battle, itemshop and heal station.

[Bitsys]

Gold per post is in the Itemshop Options menu in a field called "Activity Points". Currently, there is no way to give users a certain amount of gold to begin with. However, you can add that feature in several ways. The easiest way to add it is through phpmyadmin. In the table called `items_user` locate the field called 'bankval'. Change the default value of 'bankval' to whatever you want the users to start with. The other ways are harder to implement.

[Strider Xero]

I'm the one who wanted to uninstall .55

How do I delete the templates?? There's no option in the AdminCP to delete them. All it says is 'Change Original'

[Strider Xero]

i accidentally deleted ALL of my Template tables through phpMyAdmin...uhh...how do I get them back?? I have a back up but just have no idea on how to restore it...obviously i absolutely know nothing about mysql and stuff, so can someone tell me how to restore it?

Have you tried the "Insert data from a textfile into table" link in phpmyadmin? It is near the middle of the page when you are viewing the table structure.

[Strider Xero]

ok i restored it using the vbulletin.style

but anyway, i've installed .56 using vbhacker, and i had to run some queries. Anyway, i get this error when i try to go to a forum:

[rrnolan]

Can I ask you a question about Battle Forums, I notice that I can only buy one Weapon, One Potion, and One Armor, If I try to but a 2nd Weapon it takes the first weapon out of my inventory. Is that correct you can only have one of each

[gengar003]

I have set the level to be determined by the # of posts, but the level won't show up. Because of this, no one can battle.

Also, the purchased items don't show up, and there are no hp/mp/ap etc bars in the profile, are there supposed to be?

[Bitsys]

rrnolan:
That is correct that you can only have one of each. That is the way the original itemshop worked.

gengar003:
Where is the level not showing up at? Did you update your stats? What error are you getting when you try to battle?

Where are the purchased items not showing up? There is supposed to be hp/mp/ap in the bars, but you have to update your stats first. What version are you running?

[rrnolan]

Has anyone written a game manual or how to for folks yet. This is a fun hack but many folks are asking me for a manual

kewl :)

[gengar003]

the items purchased do not show up on itemshop.php, where I assume they should.

the level does not show up in user profile.

there are no bars at all.

I did update my stats, error message is stillL: You are ineligible for battle at this time. Please try updating your stats in the User Control Panel.

Also, do you know how to :
-upgrade vb w/out losing installed hacks?
-make rpg points same as lesane store hack points?

[Bitsys]

I am not sure as to why you are having trouble with items showing up.

The level is supposed to show up in the postbit, not in the user profile.

The bars are also supposed to be in the postbit.

I noticed that you overwrote the "Unknown" Alignment with something else. This means that if you use that alignment, then you won't be able to particiate in battles because you must have an alignment other than the original Unknown.

Also, did you run "install_itemshop_items.php"? It seems that you did not run it or you did not go through it all the way because there are only two users in your 'battle_stats' database, when there are supposed to be around 71.


There is a stickied thread in the "Hacking Hints and Tips" forum called Tutorial: Upgrade your hacked board in less then 30 minutes (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38545). Try that.

I do know how to make the Lesane Store hack integrated with this hack, however I do not have instructions on how to do that at this time.

[Mrpolish]

When i buy the items in the itemshop and then battle somebody they do not showup while in battle the only thing to use is fists and that does not work out really well.

what's the postbit?

I'll fix the alignment thing, thanx for the upgrading hacked boards tip, and do you think you could type up instructions for integration wit lesane's hack? I'd really appreciate it...

[Kaelon]

This is looking great, Bitsys! I'd be more than happy to help you test it, but I only have a large scale (250,000 posts, several thousand members, very active) forum in a production environment, though I know its participants would be very eager to try out this phenomenal hack.

Have you considered creating an un-install file for the hack, or any other necessary precautions, so that it can start being tested on production environments in beta?

Thanks, agian. I'll keep following this thread regularly.

Regards,
Kaelon

[Bitsys]

gengar003:
The postbit refers to the postbit template. There is a template group called "Postbit Templates". When I refer to the "postbit template" I am talking about the template that is actually called "postbit" and is the first template located under the "Postbit Templates" group, in your global and/or default template set.

I cannot post instructions for integration with Lesane's store hack becuase my hack keeps getting minor changes that make in unfeasible to be updating two hacks. Also, there are changes that must be made to 5+ .php files, so it is more than a simple job. However, once my hack gets closer to release (I am writing the help documentation right now, after which I need to test the uninstall script) I will work on integrating it into Lesane's Store hack and then releasing that as a completely separate version. I cannot promise anything right now though.

Kaelon:
There is currently an uninstall-script in the works. However, I won't release it until it, too, is bug free ;) As long as you keep reading this thread every now and then, you won't miss it.

[gengar003]

Okay, by now, I'm probably boring you all out of your minds with obvious questions, but I've got another one:

When I deposit money in the bank, it takes the money, but doesn't put it in the bank, it just makes it dissappear.

I understand what you're saying about the integration with the store hack, but could you just post an overview?

In addition, I think I read something about upgrading to newer versions of your hack... is it manual, or can u upgrade with vbhacker?

[Bitsys]

Are you sure the money doesn't appear in your bank account?

I can't post an overview right now, sorry.

Upgrading from one version of the beta to another is manual. However, 0.56 was the last major update. I don't anticipate any future ones to be very hard to upgrade.


BTW, here is a guide that DarkDraco07 created for the members of his forum. Thanks DarkDraco07!
-Start off by going to your User Control Panel. Then edit your profile. At the bottom of your profile there is a bunch of RPG settings such as your RPG chars name, gender, alignment, class, etc... Once u have finished this you click the update stats link. (Note: you will have to update your settings every time you level up). Also, when selecting your RPG options from the user cp, you must submit the options first, then go back to the edit profile menu and click the update stats link

-Now you go to the ItemShop. Purchase any item you wish. (Note: The Generic Items can be used by anyone, but all the rest of the items you can buy are based on your charector type) If your a warrior or whatever, you can purchase heavy armor and sword, if your a mage u can purchase spells and so forth. When you buy a potion, it can be used only once. Dont forget to update stats*

-When you are ready for battle you go to the Battle page. Click on new battle. Enter the game name and password and the person you want to fight. When you have finished this there will be a PM sent to the person you challenged telling him the game number and password. Once the opponent has agreed to fight, go back to the battle page and enter the game info and password, or if u want you can click on browse to view all the battles going on and click view on your battle to enter the battle (other people may watch)

-The the battle begins. The are option buttons (radio buttons) with the attacks you can use. All the greyed out attacks mean you dont have that. There will be attack with your weapon, use your fists, use a spell, use a potion, an option to give up and retreat. Pick one, enter a text message in the box if you want and click submit. For everytime that you miss, your AP (anger points) will rise. When your AP reaches 70-99, a check box will appear that says "are you angry yet?". This is the anger attack. Based on how much AP you have, you do more damage. (ex. if you have 80AP then if u check the anger box you will do 8% more damage). Then your AP drops to 0. If you have 100AP you will automatically do 10% more damage. Also if you are level 10+, you will do.1 more damage than you usually will.

-As many know these, ill say them again:
+HP(Hit Points) is your life, when it reaches 0, your dead.
+MA(Mystic Aura) is your magic, when it reaches 0, you cant use magic.
+PP(Power Points) is your power, it doesnt do anything yet.
+AP(Anger Points) is your anger, When it reaches 70-100 you do more damage.
(Note: after a battle, if you have died or lost MA, a moderator or admin has to refill your HP and MA)". Another way you can refill your HP is to make enough posts to gain a new level and then update your stats. When you update your stats after gaining a level, your stats are automatically refilled.)

-Also, all battles will be recorded under a new forum section. Thus giving you EXP for fighting.

So far that is how you battle.

THe items that I've bought are still not showing up, there are still no hp/mp/pp/ap bars anywhere, and whenever i try to enter a battle, it times out, in addition to the bank stealing your money.

Can someone help?

[assassingod]

Bitsys, thanks for the fix. I can enter the battle now.

Hmm, this post is above the post I am responding to....something is not right.

Incorrect - I installed the default items.

also, whenever I try to battle, it times out...

For the timeout thing, use the fix I posted for assassingod at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=332584#post332584

For some reason, I don't think your items_user database was correctly populated. If you have phpmyadmin, go into it and make sure that there is one row for each user on your site. Also, make sure that the battle_stats database is populated in the same way as the items_user database.

[assassingod]

I have 3 more problems:
I have 2 users I user, admin and user1.

admin can buy items. user1 cant - even though there is enough money.

admin cannot use items in battle.

The 3rd problem is there are some broken itemshop images.

Okay, there's only two rows in item_user, what do I do? Ditto for battle_stats...

the hack clearly states v 2.2.7 , 2.2.8 and 2.2.9. You have 2.2.5 it says. You might need to upgrade.

This means you have the column "item1" already inside your database. Meaning you have Itemshop already installed.

Delete the column, and any other columns that Itemshop created to get it to work.

Im running it with 2.2.6 with no problems or issues

[rrnolan]

Just checking

[Bitsys]

Sorry, I was out of town yesterday and most of today.

assassingod:
Make sure that the money is in your pocket, not in your bank account.

Try to check your items_user table also. It doesn't seem to be correctly populated. There should be one row for each user on your boards.

Post the actual link that is broken with the itemshop images, so I can see what is wrong. Once again, it appears that your items_user datbase is causing the trouble.

gengar003:
I will post a script you can use to fix it - give me a little while to test it. The reason you can't run the script again is that it has already created the tables.

Colon33:
Although it does state versions 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and 2.2.9, that doesn't mean it won't work on previous versions. Since I do not have a copy of anything before 2.2.7, I cannot test it on those boards. Gengar is helping to test it on a previous version and if all had gone correctly with the installation queries, then I think it would do fine on 2.2.6 or maybe 2.2.5. This is what beta is for.

rrnolan:
The help docs are about 20% complete, roughly 40KB.

[Strider Xero]

so .57 is gonna be released soon right? =)

Will do again, thanks.

If I remember correctly, I used the item shop before and got the same error, the URL of the image is board/images/.gif

Will keep trying with the hack

[PSI|Dr-X]

Hey everything worked thnx cool hack but ive got a problem :D
When I am in a battle and wanna attack and press ok then er comes a error



There seems to have been a slight problem with the Dbz Netwerk Forums database.

And in the url http://localhost/battleupdate.php?action=battlereply&battlenumber=4&username=dbz&userid=2&battlekey=123

it is a vb 2.2.6 everything worked:) only this then

(When have itemshop installed never try installing this hack
Whole forum goes DANG only if you are good at queries getting out)


Please help me:)

[Mrpolish]

So far everything works on my mb, battle, itemshop and heal work perfectly.
Im running on 2.2.8

[Bitsys]

gengar003:
To fix your items_user database and battle_stats database, do the following:

Download the attached .zip file
Extract the file and upload it to your vBulletin admin directory on your server
Go to the file in your web browser
Click "Yes"
Wait for it to finish
After completing, if it says that no IDs were inserted, then your tables were fine. If it finds a discrepancy, then it will list the ID(s) that was (were) inserted.

Let me know how it goes.


Strider Xero:
.57 will most liekely be the last Beta update before Final Release. It will include the help documentation and a nifty feature for the admin cp, as well as some bug fixes. It all depends on how busy I get over Christmas.


assassingod:
If you don't feel that the databases are correctly populated, then run the fix I posted for gengar above.

I am not sure about the broken link. This was resolved a long time ago and I have not seen it pop up since until now. I will look into it.


PSI|Dr-X:
Without a more specific error message, there is not a whole lot I can do. Since you are running on localhost, can you change the error messages to be more specific?


Mrpolish:
:)

[assassingod]

Thank bitsys, will try now

[PSI|Dr-X]

Yee everything works i didint installt itemshop items LOL and one more question

I assume you are referring to using your fists? If so, then fists don't do any damage.

[VeoMorphine]

lookin good so far.
And marry Christmas to you all.

Bitsys,
With your permission i would like to Re-release the Final RPG system when it is done so it is intregrated with lesanes store hack.

[Riddel]

I installed it on a test board and it is working fine.

Please release the final version soon!

[Strider Xero]

yeah today would be good =) hehe j/k

[PSI|Dr-X]

o sorry i didint read:P ill be waiting for the full version

Great hack anyway

[Xyphen]

any idea when the final realse is going to be realesed?

[Mrpolish]

How i can change the interest rate in the bank and does it even work ?

[Strider Xero]

I have an idea for a the item shop. Is there any way to make "special" weapons? Meaning, if I used a Lightning type weapon on a person that was a Water elemental, it would cause more damage to that specific element? Other examples would include if I used a Fire-type armor and my enemy tried to use the Flame sword on me, I would be impervious since its the same element. Catch my drift? I think it would be a good feature to have...but might be a bit complicated. Just a thought =)

[Herman]

You might want to place the users facing each other. The images, I mean. It sort of loses effect when they both look left. Just put a simple code, that makes the left image flip.

[Bitsys]

AViO 07:
Final Release is pretty close.


Mrpolish:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=300155#post300155 from the original Itemshop Thread provides a good explanation of how to change the interest for the bank.

Strider Xero:
I understand what you are saying, but implementation sounds like a nightmare ;) Maybe later.

Herman:
The problem with this is that not all of the images are facing the incorrect direction. In order for this to work perfectly, you would have to specify which way the image is facing for each image and then do the appropriate mirror image if it is facing in the wrong direction. I will include image mirroring code in a text file for you to experiment with in version 0.57 (which should be released today).

If all goes well, version 0.57 will be the last version before release.

[VeoMorphine]

Sounds great bitsys.

One idea. How about Limit brake or Special moves.

So when you do it, it takes mana,(or you can only do it when your AP is 100%) and it add's like 5% damage. You can make and edit moves from the admin cp. It shouldnt be to hard to put in i think.

[Bitsys]

If I were to add special moves, I would be more inclined to make them take away from PP rather than from MA. Also, it would make sense to make a training school of sorts in which only certain classes or races could learn certain techniques. But, I have no plans to include that in the final version.

[Riddel]

umm question - how do you set items to subtract from MA when used?

[Bitsys]

Originally posted by Riddel

That is automatically calculated based on the item's cost and the item's damage as well as the user's magic attack. Only spells subtract from MA.

[Riddel]

hmm I have one attacking spell that costs 5000 points to buy, causes 500 pts of damage, and it costs 0 ma consistantly. Am I doing something wrong?

[Bitsys]

Here is version 0.57. The upgraded .zip file is located in the first post.

Bug Fixes:

Instead of displaying the battle screen when users are not logged in, it displays the show no permission page. Also, COPPA or Users Awaiting E-mail Confirmation cannot use the battle hack.
Typos
Inifite loop in postbit when the items_user database is incorrect or not correctly populated.
Pressing back and re-submitting a battle reply no longer leaves a blank message when the battle state is greater than 4 (over or in draw stage).
Reduced itemshop query count by one.
Point Field in Itemshop options is now 8 characters long, instead of 6.


New Feature:
In the admin cp, under the RPG heading, there is now a link called "Edit Users". After clicking the link, you are taken to a simple search page in which you enter the username and/or the userid you wish to edit. Once there, you can edit the major RPG settings for any user, including Max and Current stats as well as alignment, race, class, battle stats, etc. See the picture attached to this post for more information.

Included in this version is an upgrade file for going from .56 to .57. It is 3 steps long and should take around 7 minutes.

Also included in this version is a short text file for Herman that can be used in battlefight.php to reverse the direction of images. The file is called "Flip Code.txt".NOTE: The code in that file has NOT been tested nor is the code mine. It is primarily for Herman, since he asked for it and anyone else who would like to experiment with it. Use at your own risk.

If all goes well with this version, then I will finish the uninstall file and release the final version soon after. Thanks again for testing :)

[Bitsys]

Here is the formula for how much MA spells use when cast:

$spellcost = floor(($spell[cost] * ($spell[damage] / $umagicatt)) / 10);

Where:

$umagicatt = The spell user's magic attack (usually greater than 200).
$spell[cost] = The cost of the spell in $$.
$spell[damage] = The 'buff' or damage of the spell.
floor = A function that rounds the result down to the lowest integer.
$spellcost = the final amount of MA the spell takes to cast.

What is your magic attack rating?

[Riddel]

oh yes the magic attack rating was the problem! thanks very much!

[mr e]

How do you figure out how much

damage you do, based on your weapon
damage you do, based on your spell

damage you'll take based on your armor

and anything else like that

[mr e]

also something else easy to change is on some templates the text boxes go

reg attk, mgk attk, mgk def, reg def

and some go

reg attk, reg def, mgk attk, mgk attk

just something that could probably be made easier

edit: for the elements to do more dmg you could just assign a weakness and strength to each element and assign a type to each magic attk and weapon and if the type matched the weaknes it'd do more dmg if it matched the strength it'd do less

edit: you should change it so you can't buy items while in a battle because as of now you can

[Strider Xero]

I'm not sure if this normal or not, but my enemy used the Mage Masher on me and the damage/defense/buff was set to 20. The thing is when it hit me it took away 3055 HP from me. I only had 1000 HP so I died instantly(I used the new 'Edit User' option in v57 to edit our rpg stats and changed them to really high numbers).....so uhhh is that supposed to be rright? Does the weapon multiply with the PP or something?? Or maybe the AP? Can someone please explain this?

And Bitsy's, thanks for making it possible to upgrade this time. It was SO convenient. When you made v56, it was such a pain for me. So thank you for that and hopefully you provide some sort of upgrade for the next version

I have a question though. You know how you're able to edit user's stats through the AdminCP? Well I saw you made a note about it not making it permanent, and also that it will change after you 'Update Stats' in the UserCP. Are you planning on fixing this to make those Edits in the AdminCP permanent?

[Strider Xero]

Does anyone out there have some kind of manual? Just a basic run-down for users on how EVERYTHING works so they could get the fullest out of this hack?? I'd make it but I dont fully understand how every single thing works.

[Kaelon]

Superbly done, Bitsys :). I look forward to integrating the final release on my forums.

Thank you so very much.

All the best,
Kaelon

[Xyphen]

Bitsys many thanks for replying, also i was wondering if you can do this little edit, when someone uses their fist. It should do a little damage at the least. any damage but somewhat.. lol

[Xyphen]

Also, another request.. add more races.. and one last thing, you know when the fighters are fighting? Left one is facing the other way and not his opponent, could you also try and fix that?

[Xyphen]

Another thing would be great, if you can show the stats on members profile, and also put the Donation Box thing on the members profile :) That would be nice..

What i am saying is, when someone visits a members profile, he can see

Total Battles Fought:
Wins
Losses

All the stuff that displays in postbit, should also be displayed in a members profile..
And we should be able to donate money to the user right from his/her profile.

[Strider Xero]

The races you can add yourself. You did see that in your AdminCP right??

[Xyphen]

Another Great Addition could be, users can make thier clans :) the when you join a clan, it displays your clan on your profile, every clan has a Icon(Avatar) and a Little Description which is displayed on the user profile. All Clans must be approved by admins. Just another idea..

[Xyphen]

here is a screenshot of what it should look like in the user profile, and sry, i didnt know about adding races, lol...

[Kevorkian]

someone can post me a simple postbit idea for signature?

[Bitsys]

Wow, I see the ideas were just flowing last night ;)

mr e:
Here is how damage is calculated based on your weapon:
$damagedone = ($weapon[damage] + $uregatt) * $anger + $bonusattack - $armor - $oregdef + $uspeed % 50 + 1;

Where
$weapon[damage] = the 'buff' of the weapon that determines how much damage it does.
$uregatt = The attacker's regular attack
$anger = the anger percentage (1 if the user is not angry, 1.1 if the user is at 100% AP)
$bonusattack = The amount of bonus damage given to the attacker by "persistent modifier" items. Persistent Modifier items are any items that give + to Att, + to Def, or + to Att and Def in the item's category. On my board, we made Ring items always give to attack.
$armor = the defender's total armor, including + to Def items.
$oregdef = the defender's regular defense
$uspeed = the attacker's speed
$damagedone = the total damage done to the defender by the attacker.

This formula will change. I will take out speed and use that and evade for calculating the chance to hit. Currently, chance to hit is 9 out of 10 times and is statically defined.

Here is how the damage is calculated based on the spell:
$damagedone = $spell[damage] + $umagicatt - $omagicdef;

Where:
$spell[damage] = the 'buff' or damage assigned to that spell.
$umagicatt = the attacker's magic attack
$omagicdef = the defender's magic defense
$damagedone = the total damage done by the spell to the defender by the attacker

Armor is not taken in to account when spells are used. From the first formula, you can see how armor is affected.



mr e (second post):
The next version now has the text boxes in the admin cp in the same order.

I will think about the element modifiers on weapons a little more.

The reason you can buy items when you are in battle is because this is a beta and people often forget to buy weapons before they go in to battle. To make it easier, I allowed people to buy items while in battle tot test potions etc. In the final version, you will not be allowed to buy items while in battle.



Strider Xero:
Read the formula above to see how damage is calculated.

If I were to make them permanent, then user's could not update their stats. If they can't update their stats, then they can't gain levels. I am not sure about how to make the changes permanent, but I am open to any ideas you have.



Strider Xero (second post):
There is an INCOMPLETE manual attached to the bottom of this post. It is in HTML format and has a quick-link index at the top. I am about 50% done with it. I think you will find parts of it useful, however I don't advise that you read the whole thing straight through. Instead, click on the topic that you are interested in and it will give a detailed explanation of everything about that topic. If you have any suggestions, then let me know.



AViO 07:
Yes, I will change it.



AViO 07 (second post):
Included in version 0.57 was a file called "Flip Code". In this file there is code that flips an image given to it. If you know php, then you can open up battlefight.php and play around with it.



AViO 07 (third post):
I will work on adding the profile variables. It won't be installed by default, but I will make a short add-on file that does it.



AViO 07 (fourth post):
Hmm, the clan idea sounds like an addon. I will think about it.



Kevorkian:
If you want a sample postbit to display the RPG/Itemshop/Battle stuff, then the .zip file includes a sample postbit. Look in the file called "sample postbit.txt". Copy the contents of that file into your postbit template just below "Posts: $post[posts]".


Finally, here is the INCOMPLETE manual. You can find the same information in multiple places, making it easier to locate what you want. Do not read straight through, as it does not have any flow. Instead, use the index to browse a topic of interest. Feedback is welcomed.

[Strider Xero]

Wow...hey bitsy's thanks for replying to everyone including me...from the look of the post, it must have taken forever. geez everyone, isn't he just a great guy!!??

[Kevorkian]

ok thanks ^_^ *clik install*

[mr e]

wow thanks :D

[geniuscrew]

Yeah, Bitsys is a great guy :)

PS. Will a *new* spells system/add-on/thing be easy to implement? I could do with it...:)

[Xyphen]

Bitsys, the flip code thing I don't know how to make it work..

[Xyphen]

Bitsys if you can please tell me how it works, would be really good..

[Xyphen]

this is the kind of User Profile i want to have, if you could only make the addons that I need... :rolleyes:

[Bitsys]

AViO 07:
The flip code is there for experimentation. I have not tried it so I don't know how it works either. I will look at it further once some other things are done.

I understand what you would like for the user profile and I will be working on that over the next few days, as well as some other things for the hack. I will post the add-on when it is completed.

[VeoMorphine]

could we have an Estimate of when the final is gona be out?

I've been waiting to reinstall it on my board until the final comes out.

[Bitsys]

Originally posted by VeoMorphine

Final is close. Features are pretty much locked, and I am fixing a few bugs here and there. The documentation is 50% done and the install script is coming along great. Once that is completed, I will release a final version of the beta and then go final.

[VeoMorphine]

one more idea.

My members have actaly been submitting battle screens to me (heh..) and wanting them in. Is it posable that you can point the battle screens to a dir and have it select a random image?

[Riddel]

Okay well sorry for being so pesky but I have some random questions.

is there a way to hide the buff column so that the buyers can't see it? And what is the point of letting the buyer see it right now?

Is there a way that when you want to fight a user in the new battle page that it can be coded to enter the user's RPG name instead of their Username?

Thanks ^_^

[Bitsys]

VeoMorphine:
It is possible, I just have to work out the size and height of the images and automatically make a variable for it after the random selection. There are some php functions that do this I think. I will look in to it.

Riddel:
Letting the buyer see the buff column allows them the ability to make a choice as to know as to which items do more damage than others. You can modify the itemshop top, middle, and bottom templates to remove the buff column, if you wish.

The problem with using the user's RPG name instead of username is that rpg names do not have to be unique. If it is not unique, then I have to make a page where the user can select which opponent they mean to fight. This seemed rather impratical when I can just use the username.

[Riddel]

oh okay thanks ^_^

The reason I was asking about the rpg name is because I'm running a board where the user identity is kept seperate from the rpg identity so any idea you have as to how I can edit it to use the rpg name instead of the username would be helpful =)

btw, before I start sounding ungrateful, this hack is working really really good. you are awesome. It's perfect

[Mijae]

I have a small suggestion which I believe is quite easy to do for someone with a little vb experience:

Instead of making all the stats go in the postbit, make a pop-up window showing all the stats that you want. Something that will look like this in your postbit:

Posts: 500
Level: 120 [view stats] <--- opens up a new window with all stats

It will make it easier than just making your postbit 20 extra lines trying to show all the user stats in each post ;)

[Bitsys]

Riddel:
If you want to use the RPG name instead of the user name, then you would have to modify battle.php and change how it finds the user names. In theory, this should be simple, but it depends on what you want.

v0id:
When I release the profile add-on that allows a user's RPG stuff to be displayed in the member profile, then that code can be easily converted into a .php page that generates the necessary variables for the pop-up you are thinking of. Also, the variables do not necessarily have to be put in the postbit template. If you wanted to, you could display them in their own table below the actual post. I have seen this successfully done in several forums and I like that style of layout also. It is entirely up to you. If you want the pop-up though, I will work on that after I finish the member profile code.

[geniuscrew]

Help Bitsys... :/

[Bitsys]

Here is the member profile add-on. It allows you to display all of the RPG stats, Itemshop stats, and Battle stats in a member's profile. It involves one file edit.

Let me know if you have any problems with it or if some variables aren't working. I tested this on my board and everything worked.
As an add-on, it requires that you have the RPG Integration Hack installed.

.txt file:

[VeoMorphine]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111

[Kaelon]

Will the member profile-add on come as standard in the final release?

Thanks again, and great work!

Kaelon

[SpyGuy007]

Whee, got a license (first post!)

Anyways, quite a few members on my forum have been asking for a way to trade items. Can this be done easily?

[Bitsys]

Kaelon:
If everyone wants it as standard, then yes. Otherwise, since it is such a small hack (1 file edit), I will include it as an add-on and strongly recommend that you install it ;)

SpyGuy007:
Hmm, a trading post. Hadn't thought of that yet. It seems feasible, but I don't think I can include it in this release. I will look in to the options over the next few days.

Currently though, there is no easy way to trade items.

[Mijae]

Add-on worked great. Any estimates of the release date of the final version?

[Thunderbolt358]

Bitsy, do you have AIM (Yuck :P), ICQ, MSN, or Y!M?
AIM:Thunderbolt358
ICQ:160149308
MSN:Thunderbolt358@hotmail.com
Y!M:flame_blast2001

[SpyGuy007]

Something terrible happened. After I upgraded from .56 to .57, all of my members, including me, lost all of their bank deposits, plus anytime they make a deposit, they can't withdraw it, and there's just a blank space next to "Bank Deposit:" in the Bank menu.

EDIT: Bank deposits are not lost, as they show up in the Admin CP, but people still can't make withdrawals and their deposit doesn't show up in the Bank.

EDIT AGAIN: I uploaded the previous itemshop.php file (from v.56) and it works, so something is wrong with the itemshop.php from v.57. Hope that helps narrow it down.

[Mijae]

That style is from ravio.com ;) and I dont see the copyright on there :P

Also, it's wise not to use this hack on a public board yet ;)

[SpyGuy007]

Hey, it's been working like a charm. ;)

And if the style comes from vbskins.com, not ravio.com, and they included all of the PSDs with the style, then why should their logo be on my forum?

[VeoMorphine]

OK, 1 Quesion/Request

When you start releacing the non-betas
Will you include an update file for the current final to the next final
?

I will look at it. Thanks.

[SpyGuy007]

I'm sure this has been requested before, but could this be integrated with Lesane's store hack after the first final release? I know it's kinda big suggestion, but I'll help if needed. It looks like mostly changing database queries (i.e. changing ['storep'] to ['points']).

Its kind of a stupid error, but its still a mistake.

Or they could all be...... Shemales......

[Bitsys]

SpyGuy007:
Yes, that has been requested numerous times. Right now, I have plans on providing integration instructions after I release it. Or, I might provide a separate set of .php files that you can simply upload in place of the other ones.

AViO 07:
Someone pointed that out the other day. I have gone through battleupdate.php and hopefully found every occurance of a gender specific word and replaced it with a variable that inserts the correct word. An updated battleupdate.php will be included in the next release.

Speaking of the next release, it will have a new feature. In the admin cp, you will be able to add different backgrounds for the battle arena. Then, when the user creates a battle, they can select which background they want.

[SpyGuy007]

Wow man, you're great. Can't wait for it!

/me sits quietly

[Bitsys]

SpyGuy007, I love your forums! Do you mind if I put your FAQ in the next release of the help file?

Also, I forgot to mention in my last post that the next version will include an uninstall script. You will be able to run the uninstall script and the install script interchangeably. I have been doing it all day - installing the hack, then uninstalling it, etc. I have done it about 10 times in a row and it works great! Hopefully I will be able to release it tomorrow, but it depends on how soon New Years Eve starts ;)

[Kaelon]

Great job, Bitsys!

Have you tested the install/uninstall script on non-standard (i.e., modified) vBulletins? I'm hoping to start testing this on an exact copy of my forums, which are heavily modded.

Thanks a bunch!

Regards,
Kaelon

Hey, I was about to suggest the background thing next, lol, anwayzy, thats good you already thought of it. Also, I flipped all the character images, males and females. So now they are facing each other. If you want I can tell you what to do and give you all the images..

[Xyphen]

Bitsys, I found a bug, and I also have a suggestion..

Bug

The bug i found is, the Personal Itemshop doesn't work, you can't buy from a personal itemshop, you can't sell from a personal itemshop. nothing.. but you can create the person Itemshop.

Suggestion

Three suggestions, in the next realse, can you make this addon, that when 2 members are battling, On online.php it says, In Battle. Second suggestion is, if you can think about the Clan addon i told you about, where ppl can make there battle clans aproved by admins, and other members can join, there clan info is displayed on their user profile. Third suggestion, can you please make the fists work -_-, i asked this before, you could make it the lowest attack or whatever, just make it work, and sometimes it should miss also.

If you can take these suggestions under consideration, and make them I would be so GLAD, and let me know if you need help with anything. I am here, also sry about the double posting -_-.
Once again i would like to thank you Bitsys for making such an amazing hack the best hack so far.. at least for me..!!

[Bitsys]

Kaelon:
I have not tested the script on hacked an extremely hacked board. However, if the install script runs flawlessly, and you do not edit any of the RPG code that is inserted, then the uninstall will also work flawlessly. Either way, if it can't undo the changes to the .php files, then you can always re-upload the saved files, or do it manually. The database queries will always remove the appropriate tables from the database.

AViO 07:
Sure, I'd love to see what you did to flip the images!

AViO 07 (second post):
That bug was caused by a bug I fixed. In previous versions, you could "create" the buy item URL from scratch if you knew certain characteristics of the item you wanted to buy. To fix this, I had to add code to check and make sure you were eligible to buy the item. In the process, I forgot that personal items do not have the same rules as normal items, thus making them un-purchaseable. This problem will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for finding it!

I will fix online.php also, since it currently only has one of the files in the array.

Could you explain a little more about what you had in mind about the clans and how they relate to the battle/rpg hack?

Fists should be working in version 0.57. They should do 10 * your level in damage. Let me know if this is not the case, and I can run some more tests.

[Xyphen]

Ok, the fists don't work, I upgraded.. lol. I have another suggestion and i'll explain about the clan. Ok

CLan
Someone applys to open a clan, if hes accepted by the admins, he has his own clan. Now when people visit clans, they see all the clans that are created, if they want to join the clan. The click join. And the leader of the clan has some rules, like your level should be 10, or your hp must be 500+. Like that, if the person meets the requirements, he can join the clan. All the members in a clan, have some things, like. If one of the members win a battle, he gets this much amount of money automatically, and he gets whatever amount of money weekly or monthly. Also every clan can have a 50x50 icon which is displayed on members profile, and on the leaders profile it says Lead of the "Clan name".
and displays the CLan Icon. Also every clan has a little description which is displayed on every members profile.

Suggestion
Ok, the suggestion I have is, you should also add a little battle Text on the postbit, so if someone wants to battle someone, they click battle on their post, and it goes to the battle start page, with the username of the person they clicked on already entered.

Another Suggestion
ok, one last suggestion, every member should be allowed to set the amount of wager they would take, anything lower is acceptable, but nothing higher is acceptable. Ok, say I set $600 wager maximum, no more then that. THen anyone who challanges me, if he has $700, it will give an error, saying User Doesn't accept wager higher then $600. Isn't that a good idea?
but if the challenger puts wager anything lesser then $600, or even $600, the battle message has gone to the oppenent.

[Xyphen]

Also, bitsys, if you want to see how my image system works, all i did was open all the images of the classes, flip them, and edit template called
battle_arena, and put a 1 beside the whatever is on the left.
So its like this $opponent[classfolder]1.gif instead of $opponent[classfolder].gif
And I have all the flipped images saved as, name1.gif.
If you want the images, i'll upload them ^_^

[PSI|Dr-X]

And bytsis can you arrange that the battle stats in a fight does appear under the battle screen it would be easier i think


AVIO 07 :

i wanna have them if you agree with it :)

BYTSIS:thnx very much bytsiS FOR THE greatest hack in the century ^_^

[Bitsys]

Version 0.58 is done (see the first post for an updated .zip file). An upgrade file is included in the upgrade directory. Please follow the instructions EXACTLY. They are a little different this time.

Bugs:

Fixed bank money not showing in itemshop.
Reduced queries in battlefight.php down to 15 when it is not your turn (i.e. when anyone but the combatants views the battle, there are only 15 queries made.)
Adjusted several input boxes in the RPG Admin menus. The positions changed around and were made uniform.
Fixed inability to buy personal itemshop items.
Fixed gender-specific wording in battleupdate.php.
Some other typographical errors.


Features:

You can now add/delete/edit battle scenes in the admin cp. Users get to select which one they want when they create the battle. The same battle scene stays throughout the entire battle.
Fists now do damage.
The help Documentation has been updated again and will now be included in each version of the hack. It is located in the "extra" directory. This can be used in place of the readme file.




AViO 07:
The Clan idea sounds like it will take a while. Maybe after full release.

1st suggestion:
I think I can do that. I don't know if I will get around to it though, it has been on my list for a while.

2nd suggestion:
I like that idea. Once again though, I am not sure I will be able to implement it in time.

AViO 07 (second post):
I'd love to see the images!

PSI|Dr-X:
You want everyone's battle stats displayed in the battle arena?

[SpyGuy007]

Adding on to AViO's suggestion on clans:

Clan Leaders should have the option when purchasing their clan to only accept certain members (either through Leader approval, a donation of points, being a certain level, whatever), or to make it open to all members. Also, Clans should have their own battle stats, so if a member of a clan wins a battle, their win also adds to the entire Clan's win statistics. Same goes for losses, draws, retreats, etc.

Clans could have something like an "Aura", which is determined by their overall wealth, strength in battle, etc.

Clans could also have their own bank in which they can share money between them.

I beleive that these features could add a whole new level of teamwork in forums.

...and God willing, someday there will be team/clan battles. ;)

EDIT: Yo, Bitsys, you may want to edit that FAQ of mine in your docs, it's a bit customized for my forums. ;)
(i.e. Most people won't have a "Hospital" button in their forums)

[PSI|Dr-X]

Hey bytsis i mean when you fight someone then you see 2 profiles who are fighting right . but i think people loved to have it under the battle screen get it?:)

[Bitsys]

SpyGuy007:
Heh, alrighty. It will be updated in the next release.

PSI|Dr-X:
Alright, I know what you mean by the two profiles. I am still not sure what you mean by "battle screen". Where exactly would you want it to be displayed? In the profiles? On the background image?

[SpyGuy007]

I think he means along the bottom of the actual "fighting area", like in some FF games.

Behold my terrible ASCII representation of what I mean!
--------------------------------------------------

I hope you get what I mean. :ermm:

[Xyphen]

SpyGuy, I think the way you want to design ur area, I already have it like that, lol. Also Bitsys, the changing BattleScene thing doesn't work, it doesn't show up when you starting a battle, like what battle place u want to battle at.. I added another bg -_-

[Xyphen]

Also, bitsys, can you come on AIM plz? if you don't have it, plz get one from www.aim.com
then let me know ur s/n. cuz I have a lot of stuff to show u, sry for double posting!

[Xyphen]

Bitsys, I got an suggestion, if you can put a Battle history, like who battled who and who won..
FOr example

Challenger Oppenant Winner
Username1 Username2 Username1

[Bitsys]

AViO 07:
I think I understand what you are saying now. You want the profiles UNDER the battle screen, instead of to the left and right, correct?

Hmm, the battlescene thing works for me on a fresh install. Did you upgrade properly?

Check your PMs for my AIM name.

I would rather not make a battle history page, since that is just database clutter, IMO. However, I might make something like this after the final version is released.

[VeoMorphine]

One thing also.

I have this on my board allready working pretty good. Do you think you can make a page that will let MOD's take and give points?

I have mine up but it wont take away points from the bank if the money in pocket is at 0. it will just give the user a negative number.

Insted of giving a negative number i want it to take awya from the bank, and then when the bank money is gone, then it can give a negative number.

Im not using the bank on mine right now just b/c of that reasen :P

Also if you can M me your aim name to ill get you my script

VeoMorphine is my aim.

[Riddel]

ohh the collective clan HP is an excellent idea! then members can have wars! I would love to see that in one of the versions!

this may be a bug - when someone wagers money and then they retreat from battle, the money dissapears ie neither the wagerer or the fighter left in battle gets it. Is this supposed to happen?

[PSI|Dr-X]

lol there is no wagger input in the new version :)

[PSI|Dr-X]

bytsis i found few bugs in the 0.58

1. when you fight there is al little stat in the attackform that only give the stats of the right profile



Wager input is forgetted!
2. you must change in template battle arena

<p><b><normalfont>How much money would you like to wager?</normalfont></b></p>
<br>


TO

<p><b><normalfont>How much money would you like to wager?</normalfont></b></p>
<input type="text" name="wager">
<br>


Then the wager will work

3. All the items that i had are now doubled lol



And for the flip of the oppenent download attachment unzip in folder images/classes and find in

Template: Battle Arena

For


<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/classes/$opponent[classfolder].gif">


And replace with


<img src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/classes/flip_$opponent[classfolder].gif">


That's it! :nervous:

[Strider Xero]

For those of you who are looking to fix the Input Wager box, look for the coding in the template battle_newbattle.

[Bitsys]

OOPS! Terribly sorry about that one guys. I accidentally told vbhackmaker to replace the text instead of add after it. The updated .zip file is in the original post, but it won't help if you have already done the upgrade. To clarify the fix for the missing wager box, here is what to do:

In the template battle_newbattle FIND:
<p><b><normalfont>How much money would you like to wager?</normalfont></b></p>
<br>
and REPLACE with:
<p><b><normalfont>How much money would you like to wager?</normalfont></b></p>
<input type="text" name="wager">
<br>

Once again, sorry for the confusion.

Riddel:
It's not supposed to do that. I will go look at the battleupdate file to see what is wrong.

PSI|Dr-X:
The next version will include your image fix. Thanks a lot for the images!

[Strider Xero]

[geniuscrew]

I think it means field7 doesn't exit in your database.

Also the URLs for "Script" look weird...

[Bitsys]

Strider Xero:
Do this:

1. Go to your admin panel
2. Go to modify user profile fields
3. Find the Points profile field
4. Right click over the edit link and go to copy shortcut
6. Copy it in your browser
7. Near the end there will be a number. Remember that number
8. Go to edit the itemshop options
9. In the top option put in field# and replace number with the number you recorded in step 7.

If that doesn't work, then do the same thing for the RPG Name field and the battle options menu.

[PSI|Dr-X]

Sorry i mean Battle_Newbattle im trying to fix all errors

and bytsis can you fix the itemshop error all items that everyone had are shown twice now {maybe that i have post[items] twice}

and when i battle someone i see in Your Stat's in the attack form the stats of the right profile maybe something wrong with $userstats or something like that :) i hope you fix these errors so soon as possible


(maybe something wrong with my forum but i dont think)

Thnx

[Bitsys]

What happens when you remove one of the $post[items] variables? There should be only one.

The "Your Stats" bug will be fixed in the next version.

[mr e]

1. for the images, just make them all face the same way and in either the left or right image do a "style=fliph" to flip it around.

2. make the "alt" text of your weapons etc in postbit the name of the item so all you have to do is hover over it to find out what it is.

that's all for now :D

[mr e]

3. in your faq you have Elements listed twice, the whole category, and you can tell the info was copy and pasted, not a big error

Plus to HP: This field specifies the amount of HP to give the user to start out with. If you set this field to 40, then when the user first updates his/her stats and is using this element, then they will have 40HP. All additional HP is calculated by the user's post count and forum activity.
Plus to MA: This field specifies the amount of MA to give the user to start out with. If you set this field to 40, then when the user first updates his/her stats and is using this element, then they will have 40HP. All additional MA is calculated by the user's post count and forum activity.
Plus to PP: This field specifies the amount of PP to give the user to start out with. If you set this field to 40, then when the user first updates his/her stats and is using this element, then they will have 40HP. All additional PP is calculated by the user's post count and forum activity.

[PSI|Dr-X]

I hope the new version will come out soon

it also will be better what i had said with that 2 profiles under the battlescene just like that terribly asci ;) lol

and plz think to add features

like :) clan

you can make a clan with a password then if someones wanna join then you can pm the password then he can join and there is a clan top statistic and a clan may have maximum 5 members and on your postbit $clanname <a href"clan.php?$clanbattlestats> and there you can view the whole clan won and lose and maybe that you can trade items WITHIN the clan like accepting a battle accepting a item for another

That will be cool

According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/filter/reference/filters/fliph.asp that only works in IE 5.5+. I would like a solution that can be a little more retroactive towards older browsers.

Hehe, you've discovered my secret ;) Actually, in order to cover all angles, I decided to copy and paste certain parts so that they would be easier to find. Remember, the help doc is simply a reference material, and not meant to be read straight through. The way I see it, the more places and ways I can present the same information, the more likely people will be able to find it, thus enhancing the usefulness of the document.

Thanks for finding the typos, they will be corrected in the next version.


PSI|Dr-X:
I must agree that the clan idea is a very good one, and I like your suggestions/additions to it. However, if I were to make it, then this hack wouldn't come out of beta for at least another month and a half.

Are there any plans for

ii) integration with lesane's store [the points]

Thanks for a cool hack already

[SpyGuy007]

Originally posted by Bitsys

Oh, fine, have it your way. :p

[Bitsys]

geniuscrew:
i)Maybe after final release ;)
ii)After Final Release, I will make a new version that works with the store hack

[SpyGuy007]

Bitsys, you may be able to help me. I'm trying to display the richest user's username and amount of points they have on my forum home page.

So far, I've gotten it to display a username and the amount of points they have on hand, but it's not showing the richest user.

Here's the code:
$mostpoints=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,field5 FROM userfield ORDER BY field5 DESC LIMIT 1");
$richest=$mostpoints[userid];
$richuser=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username FROM user WHERE userid=$richest");
$richestuser=$richuser[username];

Again, it displays a username and their matching amount of points they have on hand, but they are not the richest, nor the poorest either.

Any hints?

[Bitsys]

SpyGuy007:
The user's points are stored in a field that is VARCHAR. String sorting is different from numeric sorting, so you can't query the database in the numeric sense. If you have phpmyadmin, you can verify this by going to the userfield table, clicking on browse, then clicking the field5 column. Note how the values appear to be out of place based onwhat you would expect. There might be another way to do it, however.

EDIT: After a little research, I think this will work:

$mostpoints = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT round(userfield.field5) as field5,userfield.userid,user.username FROM userfield LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=userfield.userid ORDER BY field5 DESC");

In the forumhome template, you can now try using the following variables:

$mostpoints[userid] - User ID of the person with the most points
$mostpoints[username] - Username of the person with the most points
$mostpoints[field5] - Amount of points the person with the most points has.

EDIT2:
I just did a little more experimentation. I realized that since there are two separate places where you store the amount of money the user has, then you may want to show the person who has the most overall money. The person with the most overall money is the person that has the most money in their pocket (most points) AND the most money in the bank. To do all of this in one query, you can do the following:

$mostpoints = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT round(userfield.field5) as field5,items_user.bankval,round(userfield.field5+i tems_user.bankval) AS total,userfield.userid,user.username
FROM userfield
LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=userfield.userid
LEFT JOIN items_user ON items_user.userid=userfield.userid
ORDER BY total DESC");

In the forumhome template, you can now try using the following variables:

$mostpoints[userid] - User ID of the person with the most overall money
$mostpoints[username] - Username of the person with the most overall money
$mostpoints[field5] - Amount of points the person with the most overall money has
$mostpoints[bankval] - Amount of money the person with the most overall money has in the bank
$mostpoints[total] - Amount of money the person with the most overall money has total (points + bank)

On my test forums, this was a rather fast query:
Time before: 0.0881650447845
Time after: 0.0895960330963

[mr e]

4. also something else, i dunno how hard it would be, but if you made each item a seperate variable ex: $item1, $item2 etc then it would be easier to arrange them, instead of all in a straight line we could do it in rows or something

[Strider Xero]

Bitsys, there was nothing wrong with the field numbers...they were already correct....points was already field5 and RPG name was already field6.

Any other suggestions??

[PSI|Dr-X]

Bytsis

I have checked but have one time post[items] and theyre showing twice this was happend right after the upgrade of 57 to 58

Thnx

[PSI|Dr-X]

Ive made a getinfo template for the rpg battle staticts i used it on my forums too ill attach it its a normal template

[SpyGuy007]

Thanks for the query Bitsys, works like a charm! Now you've got my members posting more than ever trying to get their name up on there! ;)

I could do that, but people would have to remember to put another variable in their postbit template every time they added a new item category. Is that what you want?

Strider Xero:
In the Battle Options Menu, do you have "Calculate user levels based on post count" turned off?

If so, then open up the help documents. Go to Battle->Admin->Options. Scroll down until you find "Name of the field used to store a user's level" in bold. Read that and do what it says.

PSI|Dr-X:
In the Edit Items Menu, check to make sure you don't have duplicate categories. Also, if you have phpmyadmin, go to the table `items_user` and browse it. Tell me how many columns there are, not including 'userid', 'bankuser', or 'btime'.

[PSI|Dr-X]

item0 points0 description0 icon0 itid0
item1 points1 description1 icon1 itid1
item2 points2 description2 icon2 itid2
item3 points3 description3 icon3 itid3
item4 points4 description4 icon4 itid4

5 times 5 = 25

[Bitsys]

Open functions.php, find every instance of "global $totalcats;" How many time is it in there?

[Strider Xero]

Hey bitsys thanks a bunch, it worked!! =)

Suggestions

Forgive me if someone has already mentioned these, but I think it's a pretty reasonable and logical suggestion. Bitsys, do you plan on making different levels of classes?? For example, say a new nember chooses his Class as a normal Wizard. Once he/she reaches level 10, he/she will be automatically Re-classed as a Magician. Once he/she reaches level 20, again the user will re-classed to "Mage". When the user reaches 30, they become a Summoner, and so on and so on. Is this feature planned for future releases??

Also, I noticed on some boards, once a user chooses an alignment, element, race and class, it becomes permament. As in they will not be able to change any of it with that username--unless of course the feature I mentioned above was implemented, and only their class would change. Do you plan on making this feature in future releases??

[PSI|Dr-X]

Found 2 times Bytsis i think i know it i think

[Xyphen]

Strider Xero, the idea is very nice, i think bitsys should do it. But he will need images of all those characters -_-, magician and stuff, at least i think so.. lol

If you want some rpg charcter images, or item images, I have the perfect site for them, just ask me.

[xxskullxx]

I have one problem.

No matter which way I have it set (power level by post or battle) when I try to start a new battle it tells me to 'Please enter a valid password' no matter what I put in.

Any idea's would be appreciated.

BTW This is a new install. Also this is a great hack, I had version 57 running fine on my test board.

[Xyphen]

ok, Another suggestion Bitsys..

The suggestion is, that the level should not be powered up by posting, it should be powered up by battles, that way, when new members signup, they don't have to worry about posting 10,000 posts to beat the strongest.. There should be a option. Increase level by battles, or posts, or both!
I think that would be a nice addon..

[xxskullxx]

That option already exists.

[Strider Xero]

AViO, it already exists, lol. Look under your Battle Options. It was because I chose option that I ran into database errors. Fortunately, Bitsys included the helpfile and it told me exactly what to do if I wanted to increase a Members level from battles instead of posts.

AViO, try this. Go to the Battle Options Menu, and have "Calculate user levels based on post count" set to "No"?

Once done, open up the help documents. Go to Battle->Admin->Options

and you should be set

[PSI|Dr-X]

Bytsis when is the full version comming i hope very soon :)

Bothwould be perfect. i REALLY wish we had both(b/c right now there is really no movovation except money to battle which isnt much.)

[xxskullxx]

You mean for both posting and battling count? As of now it works one way or the other. I think it's be pretty tough to make them both count, but I'm sure someone can come up with a way.

[Mrpolish]

I have a suggestins Bitsys:
1.
When users refer others to your site they should be paid fold for that or at least there should be an option for doing that and also a field in Admincp to set how much the users will get per refferal.
2.
I dont know if thats going to be i the final ver. but it would be better when the stats would be updated automatically not manually.

[Mijae]

I got an error according to one of my users:

Both players waged $200 but after the battle none of them got the money, and they both lost $200. Also, seems like members loose all their money after they update their stats.

[Mijae]

not sure if its supposed to do this, but I can use heal.php DURING a battle.

[Mijae]

A simple request:

How can I add the level, class, in battle, etc for my forumhome template?

[Strider Xero]

Bitsys, for some reason on my test board a member's full stats shows as follows:

Class: Assassin
Race: Orc
Alignment: Evil
RPG Gender: Male
Attack: 0
Magic Attack: 0
Speed: 0
Defense: 0
Magic Defense: 0
Evade: 0

I'm using the default numbers for magic attack, speed, etc. Also, the level isnt showing up in the postbit for some reason. And lastly, the guy thats battling me gets an error when he tries to attack. He has yet to post the error. I will post the error once he gives it to me. Until then, what could the other stuff be caused by?

[SpyGuy007]

Yes, this would be an excellent add-on for my "Account Information" sidebar on my forumhome.

I beleive it's a simple database query to add onto index.php, but I don't want to give the wrong instructions. I'll try it out and see if I get the right query and I'll post it here, but I bet Bitsys will beat me to it. ;)

[Bitsys]

Hey Guys! I got really sick on Thursday, and this is the first time I have been one my computer since then, so I am back as long as I don't get sick again.

Do you plan on making this feature in future releases??

Suggestion1: I believe that was in the original class hack. The problem I had with it in this hack is that for each class, you would have to assign a post count and a Name for that level of the class. This seemed like a ton of work, plus, it would have been hard to implement in the postbit stuff as well as battle. I am still looking into it though.

Suggestion2: It has been suggested before, and I am still thinking about it.


xxskullxx (first post):
Assuming you are still having that problem, what do you have your battle options screen set to?


PSI|Dr-X:
It would be out sooner if I hadn't gotten sick and if I didn't have tomorrow booked solid.


VeoMorphine:
Strider Xero explained how do to that 2 posts above you. If you do want that feature, then you can no longer have levels based on post count. However, if you still wnat levels based on post count, then I can make it so that only the winner of the battle gets experience when the results of the battle are posted to a forum.


Mrpolish:
The referral idea sounds easy enough.

The problem with updating stats automatically is that every time you made a post, it would have to run through the update stats code. I am not sure that this is what everyone wants, since that would add quite a few queries each time a user posts.

v0id:
How did the battle end?

They should not be losing money when they update their stats. In fact, the update stats code does not even touch the user's money. There must be something else causing the members to lose money.

v0id (second post):
Nope, its not supposed to do that. I will look into it.

v0id (third post):
Open up "Member Profile Add-on.txt" that was included in the .zip file. Copy the appropriate code into index.php above the point where the forumhome template is called.

In the code you just pasted, find:
user.userid=$userid
and replace it with
user.userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]

You should now be able to use all of the variables that are listed at thebottom of "Member Profile Add-on.txt" in your forumhome template.


Strider Xero:
What are your Battle Options set to?

[Mijae]

I found another bug/error:

When you enter ' in a battle's name it will cause a mySQL error and the battle cant go through.

[PSI|Dr-X]

Hey i found a bug i think

If i do the Do you want a user's power level calculated by and based on their post count? - No

then there is a mysql error

[Bitsys]

Strider Xero:
Make sure that you have created two user profile fields, one to store the user's level, and another to store the user's experience. Then, make sure that you and your opponent have those fields filled in appropriately. You can do this in the admin cp by viewing a user's profile in the admin cp.

I think I will change the whole experience/level system. Here is how the new system will work, let me know what you think:

Two new fields will be created in the user table. One will be called experience, the other will be called level. Any time a user posts, they will gain experience (if the admin chooses that option). That experience will add to their total experience (can be greater than 100). In order to calculate the user's level, I will use the same formula that is currently used for the user's post count. So, a user with 63,000 experience will have a level based on what you set the power level modifier to. If you set the modifier to 5, then with 63,000 experience, the user may only have a level of 27, but with a modifier of 1, the user may have a level of 2,000. The remainder of experience above the level will be used to calculate the user's progress towards gaining another level. This system will be better for the following reasons:


People who want to use the post count to determine experience can still do so.
People who want to give experience based on battle AND post count can do so.
People who want to be able to manually change the user's experience/level and make it PERMANENT will be able to do so.
I can still make it retroactive based on post count.
Users can still gain experience based on battles even if the admin chooses not to post the results of the battle to a forum


This will simplify the battle options menu greatly. If I were to implement this system, there would be much fewer database errors since there is no need to iunput the correct name of the user profile field. Also, Admins could switch between systems at any point in time, without worrying about users losing levels and experience.

Let me know what you think or if you need a little more explanation. Overall, I think this would be for the better if I changed it around a little bit.


WAIT! I just had another idea. Instead of making two new fields, I only need one - the experience field. Assuming that you would want to use the formula, I could make it so that everything is based off of experience, and the level is automatically calculated from that. Whenever you wanted to reward a user, you could give him/her a specific amount of experience. The higher the user's level, the more experience they would need to get to the next level.

So, how about that?

[Dribbles]

Does anyone have this installed on a forum that I can check out? thnx :)

[mr e]

bitsys, the new idea sounds great :D

[xxskullxx]

I fixed it by rehacking it all, I must have messed up somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find where. I even used file compare and there are no differences.....


I noticed you say to raise the power level modifier to make it harder to gain posts, well for some reason mine works the other way....

At 1 it takes 3 posts to get 1% exp on average. (Where I needed to set it btw because of over zealous users ;))

Also no matter what I tried I could not get the exp to work with battles only. I have the correct fields put in the battle options. I've tried on my localhost and online several times with 2.2.6 - 2.2.9 and it won't work for me on any of them. I never had a problem with your last version, so I'm kinda stumped.


Anyhow, this is a great hack bitsys. I love it and so do my users.
(yes, I'm one of the idiots with it on a live board).

Well, since I am going to change everything over to the new idea, I wouldn't worry about the battle problems you are currently having. Wait until the next release. It is going to have plenty of goodies.

[xxskullxx]

Good to hear. :) I'll be waiting.

Will I be able to upgrade?

* xxskullxx crosses fingers

Once again, great hack!

Idea: In Items, when creating a personal itemshop, will it be possible to have sub categories for itemshop categories. If I make a itemshop for a specific group, then I need to make all types of items, but how can without creating a million categories, do you get it? Sub Item Categories. Also RPG Clans, that would be so hot. Like a clan creator, with your own personal items, logo, and other stuff. Im not sure if this has been asked, but it sounds cool to me. So bitsey if your into it, lemme kno. Also, why do all the items have to be generic? can i change that?

Due to the original database strucutre from which my itemshop is based off of, it is not practical to make sub-categories.

Clans have been suggested, but are not at the top of my list right now.

You can change an item's type by going to the "Edit Item Type" menu in the admin cp. If you only see one column, then you must add more RPG Types before you can assign items to mulitple types. After you create this RPG Type, you must put RPG Classes underneath it at the "Edit Classes" Menu in the admin cp.

[SpyGuy007]

I think a little change to the itemshop is in store for another reason. For item types, two options are One-Handed and Two-Handed Weapons. However, you have to set up two different categories to sell both types. I think it would be better to be able to sell both types in one store, so a user keeps to just one weapon slot. The same goes for accessories, spells, etc. Instead of having things that must be in their own individual store for things that do + to HP, MA, PP, etc., they should all go in one store together.

I don't know if this is just a minor change or a huge alteration, but I think it would make the store more streamlined.

I don't know if this is just a minor change or a huge alteration, but I think it would make the store more streamlined.

Currently, two-handed and one-handed weapons do the same thing in battle.

The reason I made it so that all items in one category do the same thing in battle is so that you don't have to specify what each individual item does. That seemes tedious. It was also not a part of the original itemshop design. What you are talking about sounds more like an inventory system. Or, a system in which the user must select which items they want to use while in battle, right?

I am not sure about what you meant on the "+ to HP, MA, PP" stuff, but you can put + to HP and/or + to MA potions under the same category.

An inventory system and/or battle weapon selection system would add another level to the complexity of the current system. As such, I don't think it constitutes enough merit for change, but I am always open towards more opinions.

[ULTIMATESSJ]

well i tried out the hack, no problems at all with it, great hack, glad that someone finally took their time to release such a great hack

/me clicks install

[Xyphen]

/me clicked install long time ago..

Bitsys, when is the next upgrade coming out and with what features?

[Xyphen]

Here are some rules I used a long time ago. They seem to fit well into the RPG, although a few rules need to be tweaked.
Spike made most of the rules. I made some parts and helped him adjust the rules. Tell me what you think of it.

RPG rules

*Name: Your Chara's name...
*Age: Your chara's age... [ min. 15 / max. 999 (elves are adult at 150, orcs and humans die at 100) ]

Clothing: Your clothes
Home: describe your home
Preferred Job: Tell us your preferred Job
Abbilities: Give us 3 abilities, like flying
Talents: give us 2 talents like foreign languages
Preferred Weapon: like it sez
Background Info: A bit background info about your character
Allies: your friends
Enemies: your enemies

-mods have to read the entire profile, and consider everything before approving, things like time and clothing have to compare?

-if profile is complete reply like this:

----RPG APPROVED----

+1000 gil. (donate, or give in admin cp.)

The experience you get per level

Battling

-The contestants decide the place where their battle takes place.

(Wasteland, Valley, Forest, Grass, Rocks, etc.)

-They also decide how many post in total.

Example:

Battle in a Valley with a river, and 10 posts in total.

1.

Gollakh looked up, and he saw his opponent appear in front of a rock formation, then they both drawed their swords, and they started circling around eachother. Suddenly, Gollakh?s opponent unleased a loud warscream, and charged Gollakh. Gollakh succeeded in dodging the attack, and turned around quickly.

2.

etc.

-Winner is decided by a mod, directly at the end of a battle, you can?t battle longer than half an hour, and don?t post anywhere else than in the battle at that time.

-Winner is the one who is stronger, or the one who plays the most fair. (letting himself get hurt sometimes).

-XP upgrade: Loser's strength divided by winner's strength and that times 50
(don?t know if that formula works?)

Training

-Have to post a minimum of 250 words (400 is better), and must describe a part of his journey, training, adventures.

General Rules

-Don?t post in other persons training threads, don?t post in admins threads, don?t post in battle threads you don?t take part in.

-you need to go to the metropolis before you can train, in the metropolis are translocators, white bubbles of magic which can sent you to Eldor and The plains. you need to write a story that you go through the translocators first.

-If you want to got to Volcano Island, you need to go to the harbor, but Volcano Island is closed right now, I'll delete all posts in it, because you're not up to those monsters, and I need to write rules for them.


-Clans cost 2500

-ranks are

+general
+commander
+officer
+soldier

-Each day the incomes of the clanmembers are put with the clans money, and the general pays you an income that fits you, sometimes more than you earned, but sometimes less.


-Clans vs. Clans, people choose their strongest, and fight against eachother, people choose their second strongest, and they fight against eachother, etc.

-Mass Fights, Each contestant posts at his turn, and they can do and fight anyone they want from their opponents.

-Ko, is max, damage, delivered by a person who is 2 times stronger than you.

-Bills should be payed to the mods. (from the inn, and pub.)

-Your signature should look like:

Clan: YOUR CLAN
Name: CHARACTERNAME
Race: RACE
Age: AGE
Allies: 'your allies'
Enemies: 'you enemies'
Strength: ?
Exp: ?

-If you option to choose as ability, mug, or pickpocket, you can steal money from people, you write a story that you walk into someone, and that you steal a maximum of 50 points/gil (points are now called GIL!!. you cannot steal from people who have less than 100, if people carry more than thousand money, you can steal 100 gil, and so on.

Suggestion made at OtakuOnline (http://www.ooforums.net) by the members

[mr e]

im pretty sure that the next release will have elemental damage counted in, i dunno what else it'll have

[mr e]

5. you should make it that when a person has his own item shop, they can attach pictures to there items that'll be displayed like all other items

[Xyphen]

Originally posted by mr e

Ya, also there should be a restriction for the size for the images, like no bigger then 17x17 or whatever..

[ULTIMATESSJ]

lol i hope the next release has some good changes to it, also would anyone happen to know where i can get some dbz gifs for this RPG, since i'm making mine into a dbz rpg

[Mijae]

hrm, some of my members get half of the interest that they should get, and the rest dont get any :P

I dont know what can be wrong.

[PSI|Dr-X]

Hehe ultimate ssj im too on making a dbz rpg system of it but im waiting to the full version i already had coded a time the whole vincent 3.0 class hack to rpg

and im working on the dbz items too on itemshop and maybe attacks too

[Xyphen]

Bitsys, I got probs, -_-.. I was battling with a friend, cuz he was having probs, so i went to edit Item types, I changed them all to Generic, and i tried to change them back, but it doesn't work.. and everything says

Your Item is for a different class. Please sell it.

except for fists and ++++, please help, what do I do?

[Xyphen]

PSI|Dr-X, and ULTIMATESSJ will you realse the DBZ rpg system for public? -_-, please I want it, also sorry for double posting, forgot to ask and I hate editing posts..

P.S, Bitsys I closed my Battle system until you help me out with the problem so please hurry -_-

Which part of it is not working? When you go to the Edit Item Type menu, and you click the checkbox next to a class type other than Generic, what happens?

The reason you are getting the message "Your Item is for a different class. Please sell it." is that if you have a weapon that is type-specific and it is not valid with your class, then you should not be able to use it in battle. However, if an item is generic, then you should always be able to use it in battle, regardless of your class type.

What problems was your friend having before all of this started?

[PSI|Dr-X]

Avio 07:

Maybe i do Maybe not because im gonna work on it when the full versions come cuz i have all the dbz items i need smilies chara images everything

And i the last step is to edit the files with the class hack
To dbz attacks and that stuff and i will make a little system in it

When someone has goku and he has 100 posts will turn in ssj
200 ssj2 300 mystic 400 ssj3 500 ssj4 1000 golden oozaru

Like that

It is gonna take me a lot of time but i think im able to do that

ill think of it is an public release with ultimate ssj if he wanna help

[Xyphen]

ok Bitsys, the prob is fixed thnx to you! I can't wait till the next version comes out ^_-

[PSI|Dr-X]

I am still here. It is just taking longer than I had hoped to get the install file working. Here are some new features for the next version:


mr e was kind enough to make an element strength/weakness add-on. It allows you to specify a strength and a weakness element for each element. For example, you can say that Fire's weakness is Water, and that Water's weakness is Earth. In battle, if your Element is your opponent's weakness, then you will do 1.5 times the amount of damage normally done. However, if your Element is your opponent's strength, then you will only do .5 times the amount of damage normally done. Strengths and weaknesses can be set in the admin control panel.
VeoMorphine was kind enough to make a bank/points moderator add-on. It allows moderators the ability to give money to users via their bank or their cash (money in pocket). Moderators can also take away money.
The battle formulas are getting some tweaking in order to make the battles a little more interesting.
The whole level/experience system has been re-done and now has some nice features.


Plus, a lot of bugs were fixed and small requests were added.

Did you get any errors during the installation? In particular, did the vbhacker script say that any of the code insertions failed?

[Gohan]

Maybe you dont have the proper version of php or mysql ?

[Gohan]

version:

PHP = 4.2.3
MySQL = 3.23.53

that's ok?

[Mrpolish]

Yea that should be fine.

[PSI|Dr-X]

Oow ok

:)

Hey bytsis any idea for the updated version :D

[Bitsys]

Version 0.59 is done. The original post has the updated .zip file. An upgrade file and script is included in the "upgrade" folder. Please follow the instructions carefully, they have changed from last time.

New features:

mr e was kind enough to make an element strength/weakness add-on. It allows you to specify a strength and a weakness element for each element. For example, you can say that Fire's weakness is Water, and that Water's weakness is Earth. In battle, if your Element is your opponent's weakness, then you will do 1.5 times the amount of damage normally done. However, if your Element is your opponent's strength, then you will only do .5 times the amount of damage normally done. Strengths and weaknesses can be set in the admin control panel.
VeoMorphine was kind enough to make a bank/points moderator add-on. It allows moderators the ability to give money to users via their bank or their cash (money in pocket). Moderators can also take away money.
VeoMorphine also made a mass points script that allows you to give numerous users different amounts of money using an input box in the admin cp.
The battle formulas have been tweaked to reflect the new experience system.
The whole level/experience system has been re-done and now has some nice features.
In the admin control panel, you have the following options, related to the new experience system (found through the "Mass Experience" link in the admin cp):
You can give all users the exact same amount of experience. The amount you specify will be added to the user's current experience.
You can set all users' experience to the same amount. This can be used for resetting expereience or putting everyone ont he same level.
You can reset all users' experience based on their post count. For example, if you want to set a user's experience to 10 times their number of posts, then use this script.
You can do the same thing as above, except this script won't give a user experience if they have more experience than 10 times their number of posts. For example, let's say John has 300 experience and 40 posts. Then, if you choose to give 10 experience per post, then John will have 400 experience after this script is run. However, let's say Dave has 500 experience and 30 posts. If you decide to give 10 experience per post, then Dave's experience won't change, since 10 * 30 = 300 and is less than Dave's current experience of 500.
User levels are now calculated in a single function located in admin/functions.php. You can adjust the formula there and it will be applied everywhere that the user level is calculated. The function name is "getlevel".
When clicking on the link in the postbit that says "Not in battle.", you will be taken to the create new battle screen and the username of the poster in which the link was located will be automatically filled into the Opponent name field. There is no link if the poster is yourself, or if you are in battle.
For those of you who want more information about how battles are processed, there is now a variable at the top of battle.php called "$battledebug". Setting this variable to 1 makes the battle print messages of variable values as they occur throughout the battle. Most of the variables have to do with one or two-handed weapons, since these are the most popular.
The two opponents should now face each other while in battle.


Bug fixes:

You can no longer buy items while in battle.
Online.php should now display the correct locations. Not fully tested.
Some other minor bugs.


As always, let me know if you have any problems or find any bugs/errors. Enjoy :)
