RPG Integration Hack - Old Support Thread

[Revan]

Spells for classes (Maybe spellbooks?)
Class individual spells can be achieved through the ACP, by creating Battle Types for classes, move the class into this, and then create specific spells this class can learn.

Items which only certain classes /r aces can useSee above, its all about the Battle Types mate.


Monsters which you can fight (Also drop items / money)Monster Arena already coming. The guy converting it seems to have fooked off the net as of late though.


An easier AdminCP interface (i know its easy, but everything takes long :()Im already doing a redesign of the ACP, if it becomes easier well thats not for me to say, it will look neater though.


Random Events (Money/Items/Exp/Levels)Not sure I understand what you mean here mate. You mean stuff just comes raining down from the skies at random times?


Instead of just "Buff" on items, you could have Attack, Defense, Evasion, Speed, Magic power (I know you have them on classes, but items would be cool)Possibly doable. Would be lots of hassle tho... And the specific categories only buffs whats related to them.


A place to hang out (A clan house / house where people can hang out and chat and maybe have a shoutbox?)This was originally in the ClanCP, but too many errors and it was never really used anywhere.


User Shops (Users can buy / sell what they want)Totally useless, as these items would not have Buffs so other people would waste their money.
This was also originally in there, same reason for away as above.
Auction where people can sell their own items coming though.


Summoning Monsters (For use with the monsters you can fight, you get a scroll / book which lets you summon a monster which aids you in battle)Coming, its currently residing somewhere inside a wBB forum and I cant really be arsed to start picking it out yet.


Pets (Character can gain pets to aid them in battle, but once they die, thers no coming back)Like a mini-Petz eh... Nah. Summons will cover this (ony they can be healed).


New types of weapons (Helmets, Gloves etc) with their own specifications, like speed agility, instead of having them as armour / weapons.Could also do this.


Weapons with special abililites such as stealing HP / MAIm already planning to add Status Effects, admins will be able to create own staus effects and add them to weapons/spells/potions, so with good naming there could be a status called "MP Absorb".....


Spells which add more defense to you?This would be abit hassle but ye I think I should be able to pull this one off.


Items which require spells to be used, such as poisoning(with a poison item), etcIm not quite sure I understand what you mean here mate.


Ability to trap an enemy in combat for 2 turnsSame as above.


Admin configurable events, to double exp (againsed monsters only) for a certain time (hours, mins etc)Unsure about this... If I do it then it has lower priority, it doesnt really add something all too useful to the hack IMHO.

Ability to make items using ingerdients / materials (such as timber, steel, poison ingredients which are gainable from defeating monsters / random events) = Synthesis, which is coming.


Could you PM me these and any additional suggestions as well as posting in here? By the time I finish the rest, I might not be able to find the posts as easy, and I dont fancy filling my bookies with posts.. ;)



could someone help me with my question in post #491 that would be kewlnot me mate, I suck with html. ;)


another idea wold be a Admincp based Tournaments for the battle.... where the admin will put in names in a list and it will randamly match up 2 and if its odd will leave one for the next match and will keep doing it till well you have a winner and then that could also playing into my idea witht he speical item list and the winner could get a prize that you select or somthing.Ive already got summit like this planned, it would be much more extensive though. I dont know when or how Im gonna find the time, so dont spec to see it by tomorrow :P

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

not me mate, I suck with html. ;)

Yea a system of that would take a bit it would almost be as complex if not more then the rpg system itself. so i here ya :nervous:

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

Not sure if this is allowed but i have some scenes i put together from some stuff i use......... download them if you want.............
and for the owner of the rpg hack if you want to add these to your image sets for it you can but please give some credit though... otherwise i dont care...

[Revan]

Downloaded, and they are very good scenes indeed :D
Ill note down to give you credit right away, so I dont forget it once this page disappears into the abyss ;)

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

Thanx, I am very glad you like them :) I will also have more charactors made, and more scenes/weapons and stuff if you want I can post them as i make sets.

[Revan]

That'd be great, cheers :D
Like your sig btw (both parts of it ;))

[korny]

Hey Revan, cna't wait to put this up on my boards. I have a question about your update to 3.0. When will that be coming out, and if I decided to go ahead and install the 2.5.3 version, will the 3.0 be tough to put in after I installed the older version?

[korny]

And what is the first step I need to take to start installing this hack? I don't know what folder or read me file to start with. :D

[Revan]

Hey Revan, cna't wait to put this up on my boards. I have a question about your update to 3.0. When will that be coming out, and if I decided to go ahead and install the 2.5.3 version, will the 3.0 be tough to put in after I installed the older version?The 3.0 will be fully upgradeable, it will be tested across multiple installations and with both default and customised settings.
There are 2 things (for now) I know that will have to be redone:
* File Edits. Theres too radical changes to be able to say "find this and change to this", so in the upgrade txt file there will be "find this prev file edit and replace with this", if you get what I mean :)
* Itemshop and Battle settings. Dont worry too much about this until the upgrade tho. There will be a reminder to backup your settings.

And to install the mod, use the RPG SYSTEM INSTALL.txt file and follow it to the letter :)

[Dark s.s. Trunk]

That'd be great, cheers :D
Like your sig btw (both parts of it ;))

Thank you very much. And i should have some new stuff later on....... if you have any requests just give me a shout and i will do what i can..

Edit: Here is my dragonv1 class.... better version coming soon.

Thanks Revan,

So if I were to install the 2.5, it would be no prob to put in the 3.0 later. :)

[RMS]

Hmmm I assume I messed something up while installing but I seem to be having problems getting this to work.

I'm pretty sure I followed all the instructions but after I upload the altered files I started getting errors.

I get
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/hchen/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 1908
on my index and
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlevel() in /home/hchen/public_html/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 560
shows up when I try to view threads.

I also get various other errors when I try to visit itemshop.php, rpg.php and rpgcp.php
I have no idea what's wrong.

I got an error the first time I ran the installer but I deleted everything and ran it without any problems. Afterwards I restored all the files that were edited back to the way they were right before I tried to install this hack.

Do you know what I can do to fix this?

***
Edit: Oh haha woops. Apprently I missed reading a file and I don't have the Ucash and Ushop hack installed. Would that be the likely reason why I have these problems?

[Revan]

All errors that is about "uttpoints" is due to lack of uCS installed, yes.
The parse error in functions I dont know anything about, check the file with a syntax highlighting program and see if theres anything that strikes you as odd on that line.
The getlevel() is a function that should be declared in functions.php as per the instructions.
:)

[Warlord]

Anybody else having the problem with the midi's? Or is that just me?

[Revan]

Anybody else having the problem with the midi's? Or is that just me?
You can try this, this works for me in IE but not in FF because I cant seem to be able to download the bleeding quicktime plugin XD
Find:
$backmidi = "<bgsound src='$bm[url]' loop='-1'>";
Replace with:
//$backmidi = "<bgsound src='$bm[url]' loop='-1'>";
$backmidi = "<embed src='$bm[url]' autostart='true' hidden='true' name='battlemidi' loop='true'></embed>";
This change will be default in v3 of course :p

[korny]

Sorry Revan, I know this might be a stupid/easy question to fix. I tried but got stuck.

When clicking on the update rpg in my profile..I got this :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/forums/profile.php on line 1114

Would you need to see my file to see the problem, or should I just start all over from scratch on the profile.php hacking?

And where am I able to have the link to the RPG on the main page, or is that such a thing in this hack tha show links to the battles...

Sorry again for the stupid newbie questions.. :)

[korny]

Nevermind....got it to work.. ;)

I applied that change in battlefight.php and tested it in IE, but it didn't work. :(

Also, I added battle scenes and the scenes shoiw up, but I get this error at the top of my screen:

Invalid Scene 'darkicechamber.jpg'. (whatever the picture is called)

How can I get rid of that? And is there anything else I can try to fix the midi's?

To pwn that error, simply open the battlefight.php and remove whats in between the coding if (!$size)
{
}

And about the midis, I got them to work just fine in IE.
I went to check out your forums but couldnt seem to find a battle with a midi in it, so meh :p

[lokirj]

Hi....
I installed all RPG system OK.
But when i called other member for battle...look

You are ineligible for battle at this time. Please try updating your stats in the User Control Panel.

Well since you went to all the trouble of registerring at my forums, I don't want you to have done it for nothing.:p

Could you please contact me on MSN or AIM?

Many thanks,

[lokirj]

Revann :)
You have a great forum!

How can you put magics ?
I dont found this options ..
MA Cost
Attack
Heal

:)

[deathemperor]

Revan, I may suggest you to use .php files for skills as UCS does for their actions, this would be more customizable, easier to create skills.

[korny]

Revan..I just looked at your forum....you probably already answered this once before, but I don't want to look for it in all of these posts.. :D

Can you show me what you changed to make your postbit look like yours, a link and a drop down to show rpg stats?

Thanks again

heya, I came across this problem as well (on a brand spanking new board running PHP 5.0.1 - and thats what the problem was - PHP 5 didnt like it for some reason. All the templates were installed fine but the hack couldnt find them.

The way it was fixed was by opening init.php and adding:


if (!is_array($specialtemplates)) {
$specialtemplates = array();
}


above:


$specialtemplates = array_merge(array(
'options',
'cron',
'forumcache',
'usergroupcache',
// ## <ucs>
'stylecache',
'utt_store_act',
// ## </ucs>


I can't take credit for the fix, i needed a collegue to help me because i was stumped as to what was casuing the problem :)

[lokirj]

But revan...
I dont find this options...
MA Cost
Attack
Heal

if i chose itemshop and add new category and add new item...dont appear this options.

[Revan]

They not supposed to, because the Add Items or Add Category cannot guess what type of item you wish to add, nor can it update its choices dynamically according to what Item Type you select.
To set Spell attributes, edit the Spells category and set them to Spells (yes the same), then you will see checkboxes that allows you to set spell attributes.

[lokirj]

OKKK ! :) Done .......thanks Revan!
You have a great site

[Zantheus]

Ok, I cant seem to find my original post, I got everything working (I think I missed something, somewhere). But I goto User CP and click on Edit Information for this hack, but when I click the link ,it jusy comes up blank, what templates do I need to edit?

I had no idea this stuff was possible. I don't think this is in the manual. ;)

Are all these items/potions/spells/armor, etc going to be standard, pre-installed (with attack/def levels/buff already input) in v3? That would rock.

And thanks for adding me to MSN.. look forward to seeing you online. :D

[Warlord]

P.S. There's so much stuff to add attributes for.. is there a master list somewhere we can go off of? Or a file that you use that we can overwrite our attributes with the ones you use?

[starfantazy]

how do i make a drop down link for everything included in the hack?

Add this to your navbar somewhere (swap out my hardcoded url for yours):


<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control2" id="rpg"><a href="http://www.neropolis.com/vb/#rpg">RPG</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("rpg"); </script></td>
</if>

Find:


<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->



And then add this right BEFORE that:


<!-- RPG Menu -->
<div <if condition="!is_browser('ie')">style="width: 125px;"</if> class="vbmenu_popup" id="rpg_menu" style="display:none">

I have a custom skin and this works for me.. but I think it should work for you too.

[rinkrat]

My users are getting "Fighter used a potion but it had no effect" every time they use a potion. Is there something I have to tweak to get them working?

[starfantazy]

k, got it, now i did the database fix several times, went in and redid 6 hack installs and tried everything i could think of, yet i continue to get this error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/****/******/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 213

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in Unknown on line 0
and the latest:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/*****/*******/forums/includes/db_mysql.php on line 212


This happens when i go to profile.php?do=updaterpg and try to edit my own character. My board is at the link in my siggie. it has taken me 5 hours to double check, reinstall and everything else. so, if the only way this is to be fixed is to check my file edits....well...

[Revan]

I had no idea this stuff was possible. I don't think this is in the manual. ;)

Are all these items/potions/spells/armor, etc going to be standard, pre-installed (with attack/def levels/buff already input) in v3? That would rock.

And thanks for adding me to MSN.. look forward to seeing you online. :DYes that there IS in the Admin Manual, even the default one IIRC ;)

Nope, to have them more preinstalled than now is impossible.
Because the SQL NEEDS to be updated with the battle types, and buff levles is something each admin has to decide for himself.


My users are getting "Fighter used a potion but it had no effect" every time they use a potion. Is there something I have to tweak to get them working?You have to do the same as for the spells, set the categories' battle type once again, then set attributes for MA and HP healing.

In short, it sucks.
It causes some glitch with the Female class that only seems to happen to 20 % of the installs. It will probably be fixed in v3, once SquareUltima gets around to installing the v3 Alpha I sent to them (Alpha because the ACP isnt finished plus it hasnt been tested much) we'll see if it fixes itself.

[rinkrat]

Thanks for the tip. The settings in this thing are like a nuclear reactor. I suggest that you have it set up with a basic working configuration to start instead of having new users go in and tweak dozens of adjustments when they don't even know the way it works. At least if it worked out of the box you could just change things how you want them instead of having nothing activated or adjusted. Just a basic catch-all config to get the newbie going would be way better. It's been a week and I'm still discovering mandatory settings that are not correct.

[Revan]

I might write a build_rpg() that fixes the SQL so at least the battle types are correct.
But I will not set Buff levels on anything, because thats so individual from forum to forum what the admin wants. If there was a standard level, every newbie would use this and there would be distinctions between those that bother to configure it and those that dont bother.
In the updated RPG Manual, there will be a getting started section, so anyone comin whinin after that will be sent right back to detention in the manual ;)

[Warlord]

LOL.. As hard as some of those instructions are to follow, every newbie would definately not use this. :p But it is an awesome hack none the less. :)

[rinkrat]

Yeah, besides the fact that I just randomly flipped switches and set up the potions and all that, the users are so hooked on this that they are fighting 24/7 and the shoutbox is now the RPG chat! ;)


What the hack lacks in documentation is more than made up for with the first rate support so I have no complaints.

[Dyntheos]

heh a Week! Is that all? I've been configuring and working on this thing for about a month now, and I'm still not done yet importing all the Items I've setup.

Revan on that note. I'll be putting in a couple of hundred new items completely replacing what was there before, with new graphics aswell. Should I wait for the update to do this as I fear it'll grind the sql to a halt. i'm looking at getting this up and running in about 2 weeks. If you're roughyl a month away from putting up version 3 I can hold off, as I remember you said you were going to make the update items section a seperate page to reduce loads.

I was told of a new way of doing the Edit Items, theres seperate categories where you edit all the Items of that one category like it is now. Also Ill add a conditional that tells the script to only show 50 items at a time, so theres a sorta "page 2" in case you have too many items in one category ;)

And the Final of v3 aint a month away, but once I finish the entire ACP I can send you an RC version ;)

[Sanni]

Hi revan, thanks for this hack btw it rocks :)

just a couple of questions

I noticed that if you seperate the weapons into 2 handed and single handed weapons that it still allows you to buy a shield even though you have a two handed weapon? Is there any way around this or am I missing something?

Also, for some reason after I buy a weapon/armour and then sell it my attack and defense stats dont seem to change? Nor do my stats increase when i buy weapons/armour.... is there some place that you are meant to equip these weapons/armour?

additionally when viewing the itemshop it says that the refund value for selling an item =0 even though I have the refund value set to 75% of the original purchase price.

any ideas?

P.S. yes i have set buffs for all items and equipment

2. Your attack does not change because the stats calculations does not take item buff into consideration, but when you actually USE the weapon, it does ;)
3. I haven't ever seen that error with the refund, you sure you used the correct number format (or perhaps the default)?

[Sanni]

thanks for the quick responses revan :D

i am currently using the default value for the refund, i'll try adjusting it and see what happens :)

thanks again for all your help :)

edit: the item shop refund is now working, the system didnt like it being set to .75 (without the zero) had to change it to 0.75 :)

[Warlord]

Thanks for coming to my forums Revan, hopefully we can get this bug with the midi's fixed soon.

Anyone else experiencing this problem with the midi's or is it just me?

[Blam Forumz]

I suggests that you make a support forum for this hack :D and have a modifications sections so some coders can add stuff ^_^ and modify stuff

[Revan]

I suggests that you make a support forum for this hack :D and have a modifications sections so some coders can add stuff ^_^ and modify stuffOkay sure, just give me $160 for a new licence, then Ill set it up within moments :)
Seriously now, my licence is already spent on my forum, and I seriously dislike the idea of setting up subforums for this hack, as it would generate a splitted forum. Id gladly pay for a new licence to have a support board, but Im a 17 year old guy living at home, with unemployed mother and without a credit card.
So.....gutted. ;)

[Dyntheos]

Revan you mentioned that weapons buffs only come into play when you attack, which I understand, yet "non battle" items, as I understood things added to your reg att score in combat. This is correct right?

[Dyntheos]

I think I am reading this correctly.

These lines from the the battleupdate.php..


$damagedone = @floor(($weapon[damage] + $regattbonus) * $uelemod * $anger + $bonusattack - $armor - $regdefminus);


----------

$bonusattack = $bonusattack + $attackitem['damage'];

$attackitem = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT damage FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items WHERE itemid='$userattbonus[id]'");






So read from the above:

Damage done = (weapon buff + regattbonus) X Class Mod X Anger Points + bonus to attack - (Armor - regdefminus)


Bonus to attack = bonus attack + Attack items

Attack items = items with a user attack bonus id


Now I am assuming that "Attack Items" are "non battle items" in the edit item options, because you mentioned that non battle items only add to regatt.


Weapon buffs then appear to multiply the damage and non battle items appear to only add to the damage making weapon buffs more potent than any other battle mod.

I remember that I looked at your shop and said your best sword only had a +100 buff on it, which as I understood it would only add +100 damage to the attack. However it looks as if this number multplies in the equation making that number much more significant.

Anyone else care to look at the calculations inthe battleupdate.php file to verify this because i am kinda grasping at things here, but need some solid numbers to be able to set buffs. I'd hate to be giving a +2000 score to a weapon thinking it's addative when in fact it's a multiplier..

[RMS]

Great, I have it up and running now. :)

I was wondering though, is something supposed to appear in profiles now?
I noticed that there was a bit edit to profile.php and there's no screenshot for the page. My profile looks the same as it did before.
If there isn't then well I suppose that's fine. Just wanted to be sure :lick:

[Warlord]

Ok Revan.. I got a few users who said the midi worked for them and one who said it doesn't work for him (as well as mysefl). Personally, the only time I've ever heard the midi was when I was testing it in the admin cp.

Any ideas?

[deathemperor]

What you mean, putting weapons\spells\shield\etc in .php files instead of inside the battleupdate file?

no, I meant the weapons have skills which are attached in, and those skills are written in separate files, I think that way it's easier to add skils to weapons you want, or even skills for a specific level/job.

[Blam Forumz]

Is it possible to make it so members cant choose between drop down and long postbit? so its just drop down?

[Revan]

Revan you mentioned that weapons buffs only come into play when you attack, which I understand, yet "non battle" items, as I understood things added to your reg att score in combat. This is correct right?I believe you can set both RegAtk and RegDef for Non-battle items, and they do act like a permanent RegAtk or RegDef buff in battle, regardless of your battle action.

I think I am reading this correctly.

These lines from the the battleupdate.php..


$damagedone = @floor(($weapon[damage] + $regattbonus) * $uelemod * $anger + $bonusattack - $armor - $regdefminus);


----------

$bonusattack = $bonusattack + $attackitem['damage'];

$attackitem = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT damage FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_items WHERE itemid='$userattbonus[id]'");






So read from the above:

Damage done = (weapon buff + regattbonus) X Class Mod X Anger Points + bonus to attack - (Armor - regdefminus)


Bonus to attack = bonus attack + Attack items

Attack items = items with a user attack bonus id


Now I am assuming that "Attack Items" are "non battle items" in the edit item options, because you mentioned that non battle items only add to regatt.

I'd hate to be giving a +2000 score to a weapon thinking it's addative when in fact it's a multiplier..I have seriously no fecking clue if the buff is a modifier or a multiplier.
Tell you what: I will turn on Battle Debug Mode on my localhost, and if it lacks the info I need to answer this, I will add it so it shows more clearly ;)

Ill flag it for later, right now I wanna sort out the issues with this current build and get the ACP ready lol.

[Revan]

Is it possible to make it so members cant choose between drop down and long postbit? so its just drop down?Just alter the SQL to have Dropdown as default, and then remove the Choose stuff from the template AND the php

[Warlord]

Hmmm I can't hear it here at work either. I was hoping it was just my computer. :(

[RMS]

Ah, this isn't a big deal but what I meant was is there a way to get a link to display stats in the profile that anyone can see of a certain person? I have the link in the usercp but currently the only way to see another person's character is to find a thread he posted in and then look it up there.

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a reason that classes are based upon gender? Maybe I'm just not clear on it but it seems that this isn't very useful. Races are based on alignment so in turn it would be nice to have classes that are exclusive to certain races. Is this possible?

What I would like to do is for example do something like make a race of dwarves where if you choose them you can then only choose a class that is proficient in melee and not magic. The way I see it now is that no matter your alignment or race, you can be pretty much any class that is availalable. This way I can't even divide it so that only the default race of orcs can only be black mages. Personally I find it a bit contradictory to allow good people to be a black mage.

At the very least is there any real purpose to creating more class types other than to organize things better?

Is this just the way it is, am I mistaken or is there a way to fix this?

Also I seem to have a problem. After battles (and maybe something else) it seems that some or all characters have their max MP and PP calculated incorrectly, making it become some huge number. When I was level one I could go to my character edit screen and update it which would fix it. Now even when I do that nothing happens. :surprised:

[rinkrat]

Theres currently no way of seperating races by alignment. It would also be impossible to both seperate by alignment AND gender (afaik).
Redesigning this would mean having to mess about with JavaScript, which I dont know ANYTHING about, so no can do :(

Also I seem to have a problem. After battles (and maybe something else) it seems that some or all characters have their max MP and PP calculated incorrectly, making it become some huge number. When I was level one I could go to my character edit screen and update it which would fix it. Now even when I do that nothing happens. :surprised:Weird. You could try lowering the MA and PP modifiers in the acp, then update stats.
Recommended values for versions < 2.5.3 is 0.003

If you know any other way of merging all those different tables that uses less query time, do let me know ;)


And how would i go about doing that ? :|
1. Open profile.php and pick out all that has anything to do with rpgpostbit, namely:
if ($bbuserinfo['rpgstats'] == 1)
{
$rpg_postbit1 = '<input type="radio" name="rpgpostbit" value="1" CHECKED /> Display RPG stats in postbit';
$rpg_postbit2 = '<input type="radio" name="rpgpostbit" value="0" /> Display RPG stats in dropdown';
}
else if ($bbuserinfo['rpgstats'] == 0)
{
$rpg_postbit1 = '<input type="radio" name="rpgpostbit" value="1" /> Display RPG stats in postbit';
$rpg_postbit2 = '<input type="radio" name="rpgpostbit" value="0" CHECKED /> Display RPG stats in dropdown';
}

and

rpgstats='$rpgpostbit'


Then pick out the stuff that shows the $rpg_postbit variables, the entire table preferrably :P

Then run this:

ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `rpgstats` `rpgstats` CHAR( 1 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;
UPDATE `user` SET `rpgstats`='0';

Remember to add a prefix if you use it.

[TJFweb]

Revan: Any ETA on v3?

I check this thread every day in anticipation ;-)

[RMS]

Ah thanks. Indeed if the MA and PP modifiers should be something around .003 then my values were a bit off. I think they were default but I had 2 and 3. So far it seems to be fixed :)

[Revan]

Revan: Any ETA on v3?

I check this thread every day in anticipation ;-)About 3-4 months would probs not be too far off the mark.

[rinkrat]

I removed the RPG stats in postbit and it seems to have speeded up things dramatically.

[starfantazy]

could you let me know when you get the female part of the hack fixed..... i really want to use it and im one of the few that cant, its such a tease :nervous: haha

[Revan]

I would send you the alpha build of the "new feature-less" v3 once I get the acp done redesigned, but I dont want to upload it anywhere and link to it in PM, and I most def dont want to attach it here cos I dont want everyone grabbin it
lol
:p

[Blam Forumz]

Wanna send it to me? my board is so small it almost doesnt exist :P

[Blam Forumz]

Anyway of making it so in the itemshop everything is always expanded?

thanks again

Revan. you own!

[Revan]

Anyway of making it so in the itemshop everything is always expanded?

thanks again

Revan. you own!To make it expand by default:
//Find:
OR $expandall == 1)

//change to:
OR $expandall == 0)
(note that this code comes from v3 so if you dont get a perfect match, search manually. Its under the "get cats" section.)

Note that you should, in the template, remove the Expand All Generic Items link, because this will now contract the cats instead.
:)

[Blam Forumz]

Thank you :D

Also, just need to know something about v3, will the admincp stuff be easier to navigate?

as in you dont have to manually type in what image for a weapon etc, so its a drop down instead :d

thanks

[Blam Forumz]

Also, is it possible to make it so the rpg pages are actually inside tables (like on the uStore hack)

thanks

again

[Blam Forumz]

Omg another post by me, can you make it so only certain elements can have items?

[Revan]

Thank you :D

Also, just need to know something about v3, will the admincp stuff be easier to navigate?

as in you dont have to manually type in what image for a weapon etc, so its a drop down instead :d

thanksThe admincp wont be any in particular EASIER to navigate, it will just look heaps better and the Edit Items will be much less SQL intensive for large item stocks ;)
Theres no way in unholy feck to have a dropdown, dya mind explaining how you would add new weapon images and actually USE them without altering hardcoded dropdown? ;)
I rest my case :p


Also, is it possible to make it so the rpg pages are actually inside tables (like on the uStore hack)

thanks

againIf that is possible then I wouldnt know, as Im no HTML person.
If it doesnt have $ infont of it, then I dont know it ;)


Omg another post by me, can you make it so only certain elements can have items?Nope and I dont think Ill be adding that either, at least not for the imminent version lol :lick:

[RMS]

I could be mistaken on this but from a bunch of battles I've watched, it seems that when people try to use weapons they actually manage to hit less often than when they simply try to punch. Is it supposed to be like this or am I just wrong?

I figure since weapons just increase the amount of damage done it shouldn't really have any affect.

[Revan]

I figure since weapons just increase the amount of damage done it shouldn't really have any affect.Im unsure of the level of randomness in the hit chance of weapons and fists, but as long as the opponent got an armor, then theres a risk of getting your fist hurt :p
Besides its easier to jump away if someone runs after you with a broadsword than it is to dodge if someone whacks you in the head with their fists ;)

[Warlord]

My edit/update RPG Info isn't working anymore.. just loads forever and brings up a blank screen. Any ideas?

[Revan]

The infamous "Female Class" bug....
On some servers where PHP is compiled wrong, selecing Female class will feck up yer edit rpg info page...

Not much I can do about that sadly.
However for unknown reasons, this bug is gone in the current v3 build... :ermm:

[Warlord]

And I checked to see if the RPG templates somehow got wiped, and they're still there. Just to make sure I didn't miss any I re-uploaded the templates.xml.. but still no luck

[Warlord]

When will the v3 upgrade be ready? My RPG has kind of come to a grinding halt until I get this option fixed... as it's pretty important to define your character to battle people.

[Revan]

As Ive said the FINAL will not be out until long, but if so many are having problems I might just release a "v3 Lite" that has no new features (cos they arent coded yet :p)...
Ill just get the rest of the ACP phrased and secured.

Will the v3 Lite have new templates? If so I think it will be a good idea because people can test it out and give you feedback on it before you release a final. Like a BETA version (but better :) ).

What are the new features which will be missing from the lite version which we can expect in the final version?

[Revan]

As it appears now, the lite will not have new templates, as all my sources for template redoing has dried out :(

And features that can be expected, Id like as few people as possible to know. I like to surprise y'all ;)

[Tri@de]

There's a way to block changing class, race etc after the char reached a certain level?

hope you've included most of my ideas :D

[TheElf]

If you installed this hack, go to profile PHP, look for:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."userfield SET $rpgfield=' $_POST[rpgname]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");

And replace with:


$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."userfield SET $rpgfield='".addslashes( $_POST[rpgname])."' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");


Why? if the RPG name contains ' that creates an error, but if you also add ; to end the current SQL query after it, start a new query and after that another one just to have a good place for rest of the string... Now that can be real bad. Hope no typos in the code here. (check all other rpg hack specific variables for the same problem)

[Revan]

...or maybe I DONT have to post a fix in the thread
XD

what I can do is recompile the zip and post an addon with this fix :p

[Dyntheos]

Well I've finally reached the point where I am completely done on every aspect of the hack apart from items.

I can't edit any of them, as at this stage it crushes the site, I am just waiting on that portion of the admin cp where I can edit items outside the main table, as currently I am looking at over 400 or so items that have been made for the rpg, and all those on one table would be suicide for the site, currently I only have about 20 and that drops things pretty badly even when changing a stock number on one item.

So.. Revan i eagerly await your admin cp update so I can start playing this thing :p

[Revan]

Hopefully you dont have hundreds of items under one specific category, cos all this does is seperate each category :p
I tried to do a break operation countermeasure in case you do have hundreds in one category, but I couldnt find a way to make a "second page" so you could actually edit the others... meh

Ill put this problem up in the dev board, maybe someone in team knows howto :)

[Dyntheos]

thanks revan. I think the most in one cat will be a hundred and thats the weapons cat

[Rahzel_hx]

When does the next major update come out ^.^ btw hack wroks fine for me still XD no errors

[Revan]

Next version wont be out till long time, but anyways:

Ive sent out an email with an update to everyone who has problems with the profile.php timing out, and Im gonna go post it in the addons post for these cheap mofos that wouldnt click install.
;)

[TheRealFragger]

how much xp for each lvl?

[Blam Forumz]

Hey Revan!11!

I dare you to make many a items with stats for boards with lazy owners such as me :D

High stats preferable :P

also

Moar ideas!!!

Character / Spell / Item animations?
Drop down for item image select in admincp (you dont have to hardcode it, Petz has it :P (I dont use petz so :P))
Pre-Made Spells
Easier Control in admincp kinda like this

Item Create Section

Item Name : [Box for item name]
Other stuff : [Box for other stuff]
Other stuff : [Box for other stuff]
Other stuff : [Box for other stuff]

:d

[korny]

Sorry, this question may have been asked and anwser once before, but I have my weapons set to be in battle mode and not in non-battle. For some reason, everytime we use a weapon....we miss. We have not been able to hit with weapons at all, just punching. Am I missing something in the RPG settings? I can't seem to find it if I am.

Thanks again

[korny]

I edited my sig, so perhaps you see your answer more clearly now ;)


Which addon/hotfix is it?

If its the [vB 3.0.3] - User select RPG postbit.txt, how do I do the first thing "ALTER TABLE `user` ADD `rpgstats` CHAR(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';" I'm not a SQL guy, so let me know what I need to do.

Thanks again.. ;)

[Blam Forumz]

In the admincp, weapons are set to be non-battle items, change them like i did :D

:dNah I wont make an items list, but I will make a way to import/export items lists, so others can make for you (you lazy bastard) ;)
I been told that dropdown for the image selecting adds high loading times cos its much html, so I prefer to write an extensive Admin Help section that covers all the pre-made items.
Pre-made spells, same answer as item list lol
And that easier control in acp... not sure I know what you mean but that setup looks like the way it will be.
:)

Thanks againWell, that is a rare problem... hit chances are calculated based on Speed and Evade, but I will take a look at the calculations before v3 is out :)

[jpt62089]

1. How do users get points for the store?

2. how do you set how much a user gets for posting or w/e?

[Dyntheos]

Revan for v3 can you please give a description in the admin notes, what each stat is used for like speed and evade?

[RMS]

There seems to be a hidden "feature" in this.

I haven't actually been able to get it to work yet but I've had it reported to me twice already. Seemingly there is a way where if you're hurt you can choose the smallest amount of healing and you get it for free but you just have to click it 50 times or sometihng.

[rinkrat]

1. How do users get points for the store?

That is done in the store which is a separate hack.

[Revan]

Revan for v3 can you please give a description in the admin notes, what each stat is used for like speed and evade?Yes I will. There will be extensive Admin Help notes for those specially interested.
Im also going to look thoroughly over each of the calculations in this hack, this way I learn better how they work, plus I can tweak anything I feel should be tweaked :)

If the Heal Cost is set low enough, like 1 per healing, and HP values are high enough, you will be able to heal yourself for $0 cost and 1% healing.
This Ive squished in v3 tho, now it will not display a healing option if Heal Cost is set, but the actual Heal Cost in the Center is 0.
It still lets you heal if you have Heal Cost set to 0 in ACP tho, don't worry.

A couple of major bugs I am experiencing...

1) Experience doesn't seem to be getting given accordingly. (it stays the same after a battle even though it is set to be given 5 exp every turn with a modifier of 2)

2) If you heal at the healing center, after healing yourself to the most you can, your MA becomes 4444/4444 and your PP becomes 7000/7000-ish.

2) If you heal at the healing center, after healing yourself to the most you can, your MA becomes 4444/4444 and your PP becomes 7000/7000-ish.1) You have to update your stats after battle to have the EXP gains added.

2) Thats probably the modifiers screwing up, try setting MA/PP to 0.003

template 'battle_arena' is the "mother" of all battle arena templates.

[jpt62089]

thanks man! I just had to add a table or 2 to the battle arena...

looks all fine now :D

[RMS]

Eh hehe I'm back again.
It seems I have a different problem with my the character MA this time.
For some reason I think there's some reason with the modifier for it. After I update my stats after changing class or something it seems to count my MA only from elements.

So basically it would decrease my MA to something it shouldn't be. I've checked it with other characters afterwards and found that everyone else who hasn't done this still has what seems like the right amount. :confused:

[Revan]

Thanks, it worked, but is there any way to have it automatically update the stats after each battle?I will add this to v3 :)
Im sorry but I cannot provide a way of doing it with v2, because the way stats is calculated is very different between the two versions, and adding such a mod to v2 would require at least 100 lines of code, as opposed to 2 lines of code in v3 ;)

But I can tell you that Classes and MA are not linked together, IIRC.
If you look in the ACP, you wont find a way to set Class MA modifier, will you ;)

[RMS]

Oh, all I meant was that when I check "update stats" even if I don't do anything the MA will change. I think it then resets itself back correctly after battle. I don't believe this even happens all the time. I don't know, it's weird.

[Osiris2k]

ok, question here and i would apreciate if you would answer this guy in need of help. I [tried] to install the hack, but it does not show nothing in the index or the posts or nothing. It shows the functions in the admin cp but i can not start battles, can not update rpg info in proflile, but the link is there, and i can not see the itemshop. I am having trouble with the cash mod as well(although i know that this is not the place, perhaps you can help me with this). If you would like to visit the forum and see what kind of errors i am getting, go to www.emulationheaven.com/forum/index.php thanks for your help in advance

[Revan]

Maybe you forgot to import the templates and/or phrases in the acp?

[Osiris2k]

yeah, i think that is it, i just dont how how to import the templates or phrases to the ACP, i am really new to vBulletin so i really dont know how this thing works. But i mean, nothing works, i cant see staats in posts, i cant edit the rpg stats, and when i try to change something it says "can not find [whatever i was trying to change".

(umm, i also installed this before i installed ucash and ushop, so that also might be a problem =/ )

[Osiris2k]

ok, i uploaded the template file in the ACP(a friend tole me how to do it), but i can not upload the phrases. This is what happens.

EDIT: Removed the thing. I uloaded and installed both the language and the phrases, but the same thing happens, i can not battle or do anything of the sort.

[AngelGrove]

Hey I am opening a Power Ranger based community. How hard would this be to customize it to suit that? I really have no good ideas, but it'd be cool if people could battle each other, and also when their board have some type of battle system to battle all prevoius villans from the shows. Any takes on this? Anyone love PRs too and want to help me :D hehe reply or pm with any info thanks!

- AG.net

[Osiris2k]

well, what you can possibly do is change the character sprites so that it shows the power rangers instead of the classical rpg characters, as for weapons, that one would be more difficult, you would have to get someone to modify all of the imtems to fit shows. As for the bosses, i dont know.

[Blam Forumz]

(umm, i also installed this before i installed ucash and ushop, so that also might be a problem =/ )If you are sure you imported the phrases and templates (instructions on how to do so is clearly written in the readme), and did all file and template edits, then it does work.
Thats all I can say.


Is it possible to reset all characters but keep everything else?If thats not an option in the Reset page, then it cant be done.

Will i need to add the uCash uShop system in order to gain money from the RPG?

[RMS]

There seems to be something wrong with the restocking in my itemshop. The restocking time is at the default of one week. It's been over a week and nothing seems to have restocked. Did I forget to set something?

Also, I don't suppose it'd be possible now or perhaps in the future to set different max stocks for the item types would it? For example, I would like something around 20 HP potions to stock up each week but only 3 or 4 of certain weapons.

[Osiris2k]

OK, thanks for the help in the installation, and i know i am getting to be a annoyment, but i have some other few problems. First, the main forum does not show the links to all the places like the RPG CP or the Heal.php or the clan.php or all of those. Also, in the posts, i can not see the stats as it should normaly show them. You know, like the image of the character, the exp and the hp and mp and pp, it does not show them in the posts. I would like to see if you could help me with this,.

[Revan]

Im not sure about v2, but in v3 it restocks whenever your stock is below the min stock number. Im also adding restocking option from ACP, and option to turn auto restock off.

[Revan]

You are not allowed to attach complete vbulletin files.
But I can tell you that in order to get the rpg hack working, it would be helpful if you actually did the file edits as instructed in the readme.... :lick:

[TJFweb]

Revan just a quick question;

Will v3 be upgradable from 2.5.3? I sincerely hope so because I've made a heap of edits to get RPG installed (only to not use it :P Well my testers did, but not the public members)? Please say yes!

If it's too early to answer this then I'll understand.

[Revan]

To upgrade, you will be asked to replace all your current FILE edits with new ones.
This is because code has so radically changed, that it would be too hard and too time consuming to manually patch each line.
All database stuff, apart from the SETTINGS (Battle Options and Items Options), will be rescued in the convert.
:)
Reason why I cant transfer settings is that I would have to tamper with the datastore, which I have bad experiences with in the past :p

[Blam Forumz]

Bah, will i still be able to change it so that the default is to have the drop down selected rather than having the rpg in postbit default?

[Osiris2k]

well, did you find any errors in the files? I did do it like it said in the read me, but it still does not show, I had to install an addon which shows it at the BOTTOM of the post, not in the part where it shows the user info.

Hi Revan,

I've finally got the RPG thing working for our site and it's working great. Everyone loves it, brings more interaction with eachother.

There's still a few problems here and there, but here's one I've got from a member.

I was trying to battle someone for Gils and they said that person didn't have that amount to wager. And for some odd reason I go back to make it 0 and I later see I have no gill left. Is this a bug? Just reporting it cuz now I got no money to re gain health. haha. alright thanks

What do you think? Thanks.

[Revan]

Ive never ever seen Wager ERASING money.
As Ive tested it thoroughly on my own forums and never experienced this, I cant honestly give out a solution... :ermm:

You can only limit Battle Types' access to certain items. To do this, create a Battle Type and move chosen classes into this Type. Then, edit Item Type and check the boxes for the items that you wish certain Battle Types to have.

Hmmm apparently my "wrong stats" problem persists. The one where after "updating stats" the MA turns incorrect, even upon entering battle. For some reason it somehow adjusts back after some time.

A new thing I've come across though is that in editing the item categories' order, all of the items within that category will have its attack/heal and/or MA cost reset. I don't know if this is the exact cause of it but I believe it has something to do with it at least.

I have php5.0.2 on my localhost and can run everything fine.
Try this, though:
Go to your line 519, and check what the arguement #2 is for the array_merge() (for instance, $specialtemplates = array_merge(array(

'cron',
'forumcache',
'usergroupcache',
// ## <ucs>
'stylecache',
'arcadesettings',
'utt_store_act'
// ## </ucs>
), $specialtemplates);
// where $specialtemplates is the 2nd arguement
and just ABOVE the array_merge(), input this:
$[arg] = array();
//where [arg] is the arguement you found above

anyone willing to register on www.burnleyweb.com just so I can test the system out? Someone who uses this on a daily basis please. Appears to work for me, but having to re-start the forums, some members haven't come back yet.

[Revan]

Install one of the navbar addons to make the rpg appear on navbar.

Yeah done that, thanks Revan. Think more members will like this hack. Well done on it by the way.

[Mr Peabody]

Cheers Reven Your suggestion worked like a charm and everything is 100%.

$specialtemplates = array();
//where [arg] is the arguement you found above
$specialtemplates = array_merge(array(
'options',
'cron',
'forumcache',
'usergroupcache',
'stylecache',
'utt_store_act',
'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);
}

Strange though now i get a error when i try to post.

I'm going to ask if they can install php 5.0.2 maybe that will help.

And about the eta, you can do the math:
Things I have to do before v3 final

Finish redesign of ACP (approx 60 % done now)
Look over the entire current hack, especially Speed and Evade, and clean up their function in battle.
Code about 10 new features, out of which about 3-4 are as big as some of the hacks in the Major Additions.... The tournament alone is almost as big as this hack in its own, at least if Im making it better than Inferno's :p

Now does it sound like I can give an eta? :P

[deathemperor]

it seems too long, really long.

tnx for the news anyway.

[RMS]

Alright, hopefully this time I don't come up with another crazy problem that only I manage to get.

It seems that my clans get clan points even when they fight their own clan members. It was my impression that you get these when one clan fights another. Is it supposed to be this way?

[Revan]

That might be a bug in the clan points system coding.
Ill take a look at it later.

I think it's a server issue. The hosting company do have regular updates to their servers and sometimes the site can go down. They are cheap so who cares. I'll see how things go.

[Blam Forumz]

Does anyone know how the Petz hack has drop down menus with all the images in a certain directory?

thanks

[GCA-Shawn]

I've installed it and everything works great, thanks!

One question: No one seems to be able to use magic...How do I set up spells and such, if there is a way?

[Revan]

You have to setup the spells in the ACP. Create a new category with spells in it.

[GCA-Shawn]

Okay, perhaps in ACP I also must set items so they can be used in battle? I had poison knuckles, for example, but the only option available was to use my fists, despite that the knuckles were displayed...

[GCA-Shawn]

Never mind, I figured it out :) Thanks again (sorry for double post)

[RMS]

This is just a minor thing but I just noticed something on the battlescreen. When I'm hovering over the dead person, instead of just showing his HP I get "HP: <a style='color#FFFF00'><a style='color:#FF0000'>0</a></a>30" where 30 is his total life.

I don't suppose there's a fix for the always changing, weird background size yet?

Also, I'm trying to create class-specific items for all my classes. However, this comes up to many links in the itemshop. Is there a way to limit it so that someone can only see whatever items are available to whatever class type he is or hide the rest unless he specifically chooses to view them?

[Revan]

Ill look over that <a style> stuff when I get home.
Battle scene fix is in the addons post, I had to remove the list of them due to sig line rule.

And theres no way to limit the amount of links to be shown, sorry :(

[Areku]

Thanks for bringing this to a reality! I'll try to install it and make it a very part of my site. Is there any special BUG i should take care off in these 46 pages I've'nt been able to read?

[skorzguy]

Is there a way to make the RPG Stats more compact in postbit template? I tried doing it myself but it never worked. It would be awesome if the RPG information could scroll along the sceen just like the Arcade marquee but maybe at a slow speed.

[Revan]

You can install the User Select Postbit addon, which generates a dropdown for the rpg stats (users can choose their own postbit type).

I take it your supposed to see animation with this then? If so, I don't see any.

Also, i've added a new skin to my forum and the battle arena and a few other RPG pages go a little crazy: http://www.burnleyweb.com/forum/battlefight.php?action=enterbattle&battlenumber=4

Any way around this? I don't want to have users swop skins, plus I would need to install other mods to the templates for the default skin which would take forever!

[FilmoreSlim]

Hi Revan! I signed up at Digital Toxicity and noticed in PM's, you took out the RPG info under the user profile. I'd like to know how ya did that because the red X that the $rpgclass3 is creating in the PM messages, is driving me crazy. It calls for this path "forums/images/style/classes/.gif"

And set your styles up as child/parent styles, so they inherit the rpg templates.
OR, reapply the templates file to the new skin.

For some reason, PMs use the postbit template, but since theres no rpg code in private.php, broken ++++ galore ;)
I plan on fixing this sometime

[FilmoreSlim]

Ahh thanks!! Amazing hack btw. Simply amazing :)

I have a quick question. I've added hundreds of new items, spells summons etc. Using a lot of ripped sprites from old RPGS. Anyway I've been making my own weaps, but they are way cooler than the rest. Here's a few examples:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I was wondering if you plan on making a Rare/Unique item system?

Also, how hard would it be so that when a player reaches a certain level, the class picture changes? I attached an image to explain my question better.

In the pic, the 1st post has a Character that has leveled up and become powerful, the second post, that person has a weak character.

Im not sure I understand what you mean... if you want items to not be spread too quickly, put a low stock...
If thats not what you meant, then please explain :)

In the pic, the 1st post has a Character that has leveled up and become powerful, the second post, that person has a weak character.class level up would require me to redesign the entire class system, and I dont have time to do this atm.

[FilmoreSlim]

Whoa, redesign the whole thing ... ouch! Heh!

Well, I already have plenty of quailty Items with either 0 or 1 stock option. I was wondering if you could have some items that would only appear in the item shop every so often. Like a %, Say 1 out of 10 times when you enter the shop a special item will be there. Or like if you've won a certain amount of battles, Unique items will open up for users in the item shop.

I suppose I'm looking for more ways to let end user have a more customized, unique character. I'm sure what I'm asking would cause you to make radical time consuming changes to the code. Stuff like that is easier said then done. ;)

Thanks for your time! It's appreciated

[Seiken]

i like the hack but the weapons/items etc.. can be a pain. Is there a recommended % for how much money should be earned and how much a item should be depending on its stat increasing?

Hits install.

[Shinobi]

not sure if this has been asked before but,

back in the vb2 version when u went to the rpgcp it had a little town pic with the little pics of the characters that were online at the time. Mine doesnt do that, is it just me, or is that something u had to leave out??

Hits install.Nah as you have to determine this for yourself, based on what sort of forum you want to have.
For isntance, forum of power users should have easier to gain stats and cheap weapons, and reverse, forums of few power users should have harder stat gains and more expensive weapons.

[Blam Forumz]

Another idea for v3!

Towns (Controlled in Admincp) - Different towns have different monsters / shops in them :D
Ability to buy a town
Enchantable weapons (Say, you need to find an item (by either random chance or monster killings) - then use the item to enchant (add stats / abilitys) to the weapons
Special hunting areas (to find monsters in)
Different monsters controlled through admincp (e.g chance of monster appearing in certain area)
Drop files controlled by admincp (specify whether a monster drops a certain item and how often (e.g 1/5 of the kills))

:D

Is "Reset Users Stats" supposed to also reset the users' money-on-hand?? (not in the bank??)

Because apparently, I ran that script, and it just pretty much swallowed everyone's money-on-hand and is now making me suffer listening to everyone yell at me for stealing...

Or at least add a toggle thingy...

Oh well...

[Revan]

Dun it say "ALL" in bold in the description? f00 ;)

[House_of_Crazed]

Well,

I assumed it meant All as in all the stats, not including the money...

Because money is actually a function of uShop, not RPG system...

OKay, I'm gonna sound like a giant nerd by asking this, but that's okay ;)

I'm trying to set up a Star Wars based RPG. The only problem is the sprites are based on gender, and not race. This makes it a little funky when someone has their race set as a Wookie, and their class set as a Rebel Soldier -- Because then their sprite is a human.

Is there a way to either add genders and just use it as races, or to have the sprites operate off of the races instead? I'm a little stumped.

[Hialls]

"Your Masamune is for a different class. Please sell it."
I seem to get this for all weapens on any class.. any idea what to do?

[CeLt]

I looked all over this thread for an answer to this but I couldnt find it...so Ill ask it myself :|

Im having a problem where for a few users the PP stays at 0/0, limit stays at 3%, and experience has never moved...this only happens for some users (including myself who is main admin), not all. Soo does anyone know why this is happening or how I could fix it? Take a look at the screen...

[Shinobi]

it was doing that to me 2, go in ur usercp to the rpg stats and go all the way down to update stats, and it should fix it.

[Revan]

"Your Masamune is for a different class. Please sell it."
I seem to get this for all weapens on any class.. any idea what to do?You have to update the Battle Type of the weapon category in Edit Items.
If you setup a new Class Type, you have to set what weapons can be used by this type.

updating stats will change the rpg nick, etc. but doesnt fix the stats problem Im having (stuck n 0/0 PP, 3% limit, and no xp).

I think I recall having this exact same problem on the RPG for vb2..which seem really weird but it was happening there also with exact same 3% limit, 0/0PP, etc. Ive tried reseting the RPG (all options) but its still the same users who get the problem..Any help would be much appreciated :D

[Brent H]

No, sorry :(

Not a problem man ;) One of the guys helping me is good with PHP and MySQL and is going to try and figure it out. If not, I can always just make the classes like:

Jedi (Wookie)
Jedi (Rodian)
Jedi (Human)
Bounty Hunter (Wookie)
etc, etc.

If he manages to get it, I'll post it here for others to use.

[alastair]

i'm having a problem with the feature allowing users to have their own itemshops, it doesn't seem to exist :confused:

in the rpg manual for users it says they can have their own shops by clicking a link at the bottom of the itemshop page, but there is no link.

in the admin rpg manual it says:

Refund: This determines how much money users should get back from selling an item. It is based on the original cost of the item. If the original item cost $1000, and this field is set to .75, then the user will get back $750, since 75% of $1000 is $750.
Minimum Stock: When the stock resets, this number determines the lowest stock that any one item will have. If this number is 4, then when the stock resets, there will be at least 4 of each item in stock.
Maximum Stock: When the stock resets, this number determines the highest stock that any one item will have. If this number is 7, then when the stock resets, there will be at most 7 of each item in stock.
Stock Reset Time: This determines how often you want the itemshop to reset the stock automatically. It is in number of seconds. 604800 = 7*24*3600 = one week
Personal Shop Cost: This determines how much it costs for users to buy their own personal itemshop.

'personal shop cost', i have no such option in my admincp.

i also opened up itemadmin.php in notepad and found the option isn't there at all.

anyone else got this problem?

EDIT:

Thats outdated stuff being removed for v3.


ohhhhhhh :speechless:

[Farox]

Hi all,

Im running the RPG as well now. After fixing some of the templates, it runs very smooth now. Great job!

Theres one thing I can't figure out though. How can people actually use spells, weapons and potions? The shop is integrated and all, but that part doesn't work. Right now I only have a bunch of monks slapping each other on my forum.

It would be great if someone could point me to the direction.

Thanks,

[Zero Tolerance]

believe it or not, RPG Inferno is based on Bitsys' RPG hack and another old IB hack that I've used both of them. Bitsys' RPG has been here months (even more than 1 year) before ZT made RPG Inferno and honestly one of the reason drove me to use vb was the RPG hack.

@SB2002, there's no problem with the Itemshop, I've tested and I can buy any items I want while my class is generic and that item is for generic class.

But well the itemshop is messy, Revan. I asked you to let users have many items in their inventories, it meant: you can buy 10 swords in the weapon shop, 5 armors in the armor shop, 4 accessories and 13 potions in different kind from the Potions Shop, 7 spells from the spell shop but can only equip 1 weapon/1 armor/2 accessories/4 potions/3 spells at a time, and the total items you can buy is 30.

well that way everything would be very easy and comfortable for users. We don't need something like: If you want to let user has 2 weapon, create 2 weapon shop hence if I wish to let them own 10 swords I will have to forget everything to sit there and create items for the shops. But actually with this items system, If I create 10 weapon shops it means everyone will be able to have 10 weapons in battle.

my idea sounds troublesome huh ? it's ok, it's just MHO

Actually when i first started making RPG Hacks, they were based on mine and members idea's. Since i first started making them for proboards, meaning they ran off JS. Once i had learnt php i turned those versions available for IPB while adding more functionality, then when i got vB i re-made inferno for that. I never knew anything about a Bitsy or his/her RPG hack, because i was no where to be found near vB forums at the time.

Hey Revan,

I went to Digital Toxicity to see if I could answer my question by viewing your RPG system, but was getting internal errors everywhere. Any who ..

I set up my RPG system to have lots of Catagories. I have Armor, Shields, Gloves, Helmets, Spells, Weapons etc and many more.

There seems to be a big problem when people buy one of each armor types. While testing, the most powerful weapon couldn't do any damage to someone with 5 armor types. I'm guessing all the armor buffs add up with each other?

Now when you get 2 people with a lot of armor, weaps dont have any effect. The only time damage is done is when the limit reaches 100%.

What would you suggest I do? Up the weapon buffs ..which would be bad with those with no armor. Or should I put all armor in the same cat so they can only buy 1 armor type item. Or should I lower/raise rAtk rDef mAtk mDef in the class and race settings. Or do I need to start over and scratch my current system? I have over 1000 items mind you ... ;)

Well. I do not suggest having too many weapon categories, because the defence buff is indeed cumulated into the final buff.
Possible suggestions:
* Raise the weapon buff, and lower the price of armor
* Make a new category with "+Atk +Def" items, with either dirt cheap items, or with huge buff values (or a healthy mix ;))
* Remove some categories like "Rings", "Tiaras", "Underwear" and "Codpieces" :p ;)


And @ the report:
First of all, my name is Revan
Second, Ive started working abit on v3 again, mainly tweaking queries and adding small features. No eta yet, but as I have feature locked it, it should be considerably less than if I had to do all the stuff I was planning to do.

PS: Dont ask for the features list. Why? Heres why: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Surprise

Lmao .... ahh, but I did so like having a lingerie section of my shop, he he ;)

Thanks for the advice! :)

Yeah, I did go a little over board adding items ..but you made this thing so much darn fun!! I guess it will be just trial and error to see if I can balance the system out.

BTW, do you have a paypal account so people may donate some money to you if they like?

Hence why Im making Weapons Skills, costing PP to use and deals increased damage with base value in the original weapon buff ;)

And about the paypal, no havnt got one yet. But its only 27 days till Im old enough to get a CC, so if I find a bank without a yearly fee, Ill get one then :)

I have been wanting to install this fantastic hack for a while now. I have finally got around to doing it but noticed in the req_limitations.txt file that I MUST have uCash and uShop installed.

* Remove some categories like "Rings", "Tiaras", "Underwear" and "Codpieces" :p ;)


And @ the report:
First of all, my name is Revan
Second, Ive started working abit on v3 again, mainly tweaking queries and adding small features. No eta yet, but as I have feature locked it, it should be considerably less than if I had to do all the stuff I was planning to do.

PS: Dont ask for the features list. Why? Heres why: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Surprise
;)
I awaiteth TEH SURPRIES, REVAN

I have been wanting to install this fantastic hack for a while now. I have finally got around to doing it but noticed in the req_limitations.txt file that I MUST have uCash and uShop installed. Does that mean that without uCash and uShop installed this hack wont work and generate heaps of errors as decribed in the file?

I don't quite understand sorry! :(Quite right, it will spew off errors all over the place, and every single bit about this hack that involves money will be broken.
In v3 I plan to have it allow the change of points field. It will still have to be in the "user" table, but it wont be limited to uCS :)

[rikku3978]

I have a problem, the whole thing works great, however, whenever a post is made I am unable to gain any experience.

Yup, do have it set up in the admincp o.o;

[Revan]

If you are sure you both selected Yes for the gain exp AND input a number, then Im unable to reproduce this anywhere.... :(

[rikku3978]

okay ;--;

Will just try reinstalling everything, or something <<;

BECAUSE, since I installed the hack, all new people who register becomes guests as well o-o;

[GamerJunk.net]

items don't work in battle...how can i fix this?

[Revan]

BECAUSE, since I installed the hack, all new people who register becomes guests as well o-o;Hopefully you made a backup, so... :P
And about the guests thing, its not like this code hijacks the register code, it just borrows the userid variable after vB is done with it.... :p


items don't work in battle...how can i fix this?AdminCP -> Edit Items -> Edit each category so they have a battle function

[ogetbilo]

Revan I have a question , i change my host and when I reinitalled my database I lost all my classes ?
Users rpg level remain the same , itemshop items are the same but classes are gone.

Is there any document where I can find all classes so I can add all the classes ?

I dont see why you should lose all classes just cos of a hosts change.... :ermm:

[ogetbilo]

I have no idea 2.
Thanks for the quick response.

[ogetbilo]

The installer.
I dont see why you should lose all classes just cos of a hosts change.... :ermm:
Do I have to re install ?
I checked the files but couldnt find ahy info about the classes,
I just want to add classes one by one from admin panel. The only thing I need the correct stats for each class so I can add them.

[Revan]

Well you can find their info in the installer, they are disguised in some queries in there :p
you can try to weed out the queries, then run them in a seperate file... or summit like that XD

I keep getting this error when saving my classes...

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/nintenc/public_html/gamestar/f/admincp/rpgadmin.php on line 241

[GamerJunk.net]

Also, the items still don't work in battle.

I'm getting several problems >_< firstly:

vBulletin Message

Could not find phrase 'rpgadmin_option_saved'.

That one seems to apply to practically everything in the RPG =/ it's clans, battle everything.

Secoundly, all the RPG related pages are comming up blank. For example:
http://www.fuhai-mizu.net/spazzum/rpgcp.php

And i get this error in showthread:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home2/fuhai/public_html/spazzum/showthread.php on line 901

[Blam Forumz]

Another idea for v3!

Towns (Controlled in Admincp) - Different towns have different monsters / shops in them :D
Ability to buy a town
Enchantable weapons (Say, you need to find an item (by either random chance or monster killings) - then use the item to enchant (add stats / abilitys) to the weapons
Special hunting areas (to find monsters in)
Different monsters controlled through admincp (e.g chance of monster appearing in certain area)
Drop files controlled by admincp (specify whether a monster drops a certain item and how often (e.g 1/5 of the kills))

:D
Havent had any feedback from you revan on this ><

[trekwarfare]

Do the hot fixes still need to be applied to a new install?? or has the main Zip been updated with these fixes?

[Cassidy]

http://www.wiredgamer.com/ had it on their forums, which where made my insidethepixel.com. Neither of which, is open right now. Tish not freeware stuff either ;)

1. The "could not find phrase": Import the rpg_phrases.xml as stated in instructions

I knew those where for something *hasnt hacked a VB in a while so forgot what xml where for*

I couldnt see any obvious errors on line 901. So i did what you told me, here's the line with 5 if above and below:
" . iif(!$deljoin, "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND deletionlog.type = 'post')") . "
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "editlog AS editlog ON(editlog.postid = post.postid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post_parsed AS post_parsed ON(post_parsed.postid = post.postid)
WHERE $postids
ORDER BY dateline $postorder
");
" . iif($forum['allowicons'], 'icon.title as icontitle, icon.iconpath,') . "
" . iif($vboptions['avatarenabled'], 'avatar.avatarpath, NOT ISNULL(customavatar.avatardata) AS hascustomavatar, customavatar.dateline AS avatardateline,') . "
" . iif($vboptions['reputationenable'], 'level,') . "
" . iif(!$deljoin, 'NOT ISNULL(deletionlog.primaryid) AS isdeleted, deletionlog.userid AS del_userid, deletionlog.username AS del_username, deletionlog.reason AS del_reason,') . "
editlog.userid AS edit_userid, editlog.username AS edit_username, editlog.dateline AS edit_dateline,
editlog.reason AS edit_reason,

I think this might be causing another problem because the money in the RPG system is just comming up as: Gil in Pocket: 1e+23. But it comes up normal in the store.
(How do you change the name from Gil btw?)

Nothing clan related is working either =/ Doesnt show up on the navbar drop menu btw ;) But it is questionable.

I've also gotten a problem with the templates. They show up now! But completely white *has attached images*

Drop files controlled by admincp (specify whether a monster drops a certain item and how often (e.g 1/5 of the kills))The only thing in there remotely doable in this would be the enchantable weapons, populary called Synthesise.
Neither of the others is planned in v3 or any immediate version after that either :P

Money is handled by uCS, not mine
Template bg is white because the skin's bg is white
The last line didnt make much sense... :P

Sorry I couldnt be more helpful, but neither of your problems are known to me from before... :(

Ah i see.

Hmm it's really bugging me why it doesnt work =/ is it possible you could send me your showthread.php so i can try and find the error?

[Revan]

Not only is it illegal to ... hang on.... *checks your php* ...hey what the!?
dya mind explaining what the FLYING feck the "); is doing in the middle of your query? ;) And why it has SQL rows twice? I think you need to replace the ENTIRE query again, as you messed up originally :p
I think theres your error mate ;)

I forgot it was illegal >_<; sorry about that.

Ah your right! I'll redo the showthread file and see if it works ^^

This is the same as the PM I sent you. Sorry about not just posting I thought a PM would be quicker and I do to much work on my own forums to post:) Anyway, this is the same problem I sent to you last night (thankyou copy + paste)

First, I would like to say that you made a very nice program here. Good job . I am having two problems however that I would like to request guidance for. The first problem is not that huge, but for some reason my admincp/index.php file when loaded only loads the navigation frame and not the information on the right side of the page. My other problem is that although I followed and double checked all the source code and template insertion instructions for some reason the usercp does not include any of the RPG options. As of right now everything else seams to be running smoothly. I am sorry if these questions may have already been answered in your thread although I did my best to find any information on this. If I need to send you a picture of my admincp I can (of course the user options look...well...the same so what would the point of that be ) Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I made the weapons two handed and saved them and they still don't work in battle.

_________Hm... I cant say I have seen this happening before... I dont think the ACP loading stuff is related to this tho...
And try installing one of the navbar dropdown addons, this way you dont have to edit the usercp_shell :)


I made the weapons two handed and saved them and they still don't work in battle.Hm. Well you can just use onehanded for the time being, as twohanded weapons have no added functionality in battle at this point :)

[NightWalk8r]

Any new updates yet??

[GamerJunk.net]

Ok so any items that have been already bought...when I change them to one handed...will they update?
