RPG Integration Hack - Old Support Thread

[Revan]

I think so... cant remember, and my localhost has been completely wiped. Literally. :P

[GamerJunk.net]

Now I have a problem....

http://gamestar.ninten.com/f/itemshop.php

There is a link to "Generic" and all the items say "You have to be a generic to buy this item"

[House_of_Crazed]

Heya -

Is there a reason why the system won't require a password for battle?

I've gone through everything I could think of that could've caused this.

I even did the install process from scratch again to make sure I didn't miss a step.

So, wondering if you know something I don't? :)

[Mr_Bob]

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 :)

Thanks that fixed the problem. The admincp problem I fixed by nixing the ushop nav in the sidebar (I don't think it and vbchat agree with each other :tired: ). Everything is working very well right now, however is there a way to have the rpg stats in the postbit as a colapsable menu. This way each post is not very long with lots of white watsed space.

Now I have a problem....

http://gamestar.ninten.com/f/itemshop.php

There is a link to "Generic" and all the items say "You have to be a generic to buy this item"If you added some other Battle Type, causing your character to change Battle Type, this would be the problem. Else, I don't know :(

HoCNah, sorry don't know what's causing this. But as long as noone can wander in and battle your battles, its no worries? ;)

When I save my classes or update them I get this error message...

[SmasherMaster]

I haven't installed it yet but i'vep layed this hack on other boards and it will be fantastic. Is there a 'default item list' already there when i install it or do i have to manually add every single item? :/

[GamerJunk.net]

Did you not see this message?
The edits say they save but they do not.

[GamerJunk.net]

Anyway to uninstall this so I can re-install it and fix it?

[Revan]

You can uninstall it using the installer :P
I dunno if it will fix tho.

[4number8]

Could someone post a screen shot of what the postbit will look like? or have i Missed it, thanks goes out to Raven for all the effort he's put into this hack, my hats of you you man, awsome work, i'm going to install, would just like to see a screenshot of what it would look like on the board in action......sorry if that sounds like a noob questin, but I am a noob when it comes to these hacks, so plz have patiaince with me guys.....i've a fairly quick learner......and thanks once again on a awsone looking hack.

[Revan]

You can visit my forums to get a preview of how the postbit will look like if you install the "User Select Postbit" hack. Just enter any thread and click next to the "RPG Stats" to get a dropdown :)

[TJFweb]

Currently there's no ETA for v3 of RPG - I am bored of RPG coding and want to share what the RPG has taught me, in the form of other hacks.

*@#%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[TJFweb]

Hi again,

Just wondering if any of the users here have cleaned up the HTML in the templates for their boards and can share it with the rest of us?

I'd love to finally open this to all of my forum's users but I gave up editing the templates a few months ago :p

Thanks :)

[4number8]

I'll have to wait on the next version I guess, I didn't even See "readme.htm" for installation instructions.....unless someone post alot better install instructions, i'll pass on it

[R1chardYoung]

Hi,

Where can I find the 'Inserting Phrases' & 'Inserting Templates' files mentioned at the begining of RPG SYSTEM INSTALL.txt?

Also when I go to the Update RPG in the UserCP it doesnt display anything, I'm thinking this could be due to the above.

[Revan]

Yes it is, because you did not import the rpg_templates.xml and rpg_phrases.xml as per the install file.

[X-Sector]

I got this error when done installing the RPG hack :

Try reading the req_limitations.txt file and you will notice you need the uCS hack installed and configured to use the uttpoints as point field, which you do not have.

[X-Sector]

Ok, Thank you.. I just installed uCS hack on our forum and installed your RPG hack

But when l go to any threads on my forum, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlevel() in /home/xelation/public_html/forums/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 576

The 576 line is- :

$level = getlevel($post['xp'], $post['exprate'], 1);

When l go to my rpg.php page, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlevel() in /home/xelation/public_html/forums/rpg.php on line 167

Any idea?

[GamerJunk.net]

Uninstalling it and re-installing it fixes everything.

[X-Sector]

Uninstalling it and re-installing it fixes everything.
Doesn't work for me :(

[Revan]

Open the install instructions, and search for this (without the quotes): "function getlevel("
Then notice which file edit this is referring to, and perform this file edit.

Hi there, Im still a newbie at this, Ive only just installed my first successfully Hack(the UShop & UCash hack), And I have just tried to install this RPG hack. I had some errors while installing it, but I fixed them. Now I have the Rpgoptions appear in my navbar, but when I click on any of the items it goes to a blank page.

Im also wondering if maybe I installed the images into the wrong folder. I installed them under /images. Did I have to install them under the /scstypes folder?

I did look through the other post first, but I did not see anything helpful. But then again I may have missed something as there was over 50 pages I went through.

[Revan]

The images should all be placed under the /images, because it is style independant.
And blank pages is most likely due to you not importing the templates as per the install instructions.

[Cassidy]

Revan. You've forgotton to put the code in for the background midi in the battle template ^^;

[The Avatar]

The images should all be placed under the /images, because it is style independant.
And blank pages is most likely due to you not importing the templates as per the install instructions.

I did import the templates.

I will try it again, as I may have stuffed it up somehow (just in case) But I did everything exactly as was listed in the instructions.

Okay, I will go and try to import the templates again and see if it helps.

EDIT: Ive just uploaded the templates again, and it works! This is weird because I remember doing it for all my styles. I think I may know what went wrong: last time i did it the upload on last for an instant (maybe the file did not upload fully) and this time the upload took a bit longer.

Okay, thankyou very much for the assistance. I hope I wasnt too much of a pain. I just needed some ideas for where the problem may have been. Once again great hack! I love your work, and I cant wait for future releases/add-ons

PS: I there anyway I can donate some cash to you through paypal or such? I dont think I can give much, but $20AU is better then nothing I supose :D

[T9X]

I installed this hack on my board and when i view rpg.php it is showing up blank, maybe a template problem?

[The Avatar]

Try to re-load all the template file (170kb) for every style on your board. Thats what fixed the problem for me.

Need Help with the RPG postbit dropdown. I installed the dropdown addon for the postbit legacy but decided I din't want users to be able to choose betweeen dropdown/no dropdown. I wanted only dropdowns. So, I removed the $rpg_postbit1 tables from profile.php and ran the SQL Queries. Everything worked great as far as that is concerned. My new members don't have a choice with the dropdown. However, my existing members are not able to have the dropdown, they show the entire RPG stats on their postbit. Since I've removed the file edits and ran the queries, I have no way for them to change it.

Is there any way to fix this without undoing everything I just did?

[Revan]

You need to upload the CONTENTS of the zipped folders to the images folder.
WRONG folders structure:
"/forumroot/images/images/"
"/forumroot/images/images2/"

CORRECT:
"/forumroot/images/"

Clear enough Revan.Thanks.

One of my members asked me about being able to play against the "computer". What would something like this require, and how difficult would it be to implement?

What I've got in my mind is this:

The player goes to the battle arena, and when he chooses to start a new battle, the can select from a dropdown list of computer controlled characters. I'm thinking it could be done with a script of some sort where it randomly selects an action every turn, and automatically tries to heal itself when it's health drops below a certain level depending on if it has the proper inventory.

Something like this would be awesome, and would be excellent for the users who can normally only get on late at night when no one else is really on.

[Revan]

One of my members asked me about being able to play against the "computer". What would something like this require, and how difficult would it be to implement?ATM quite impossible, because I have lost all work I did on the Monster Arena (ai bots), and the site with the original dl is gone.
So until the only person I know that has this mod comes online, it wont happen.

[R1chardYoung]

Hi,

How does the PP and Limit work and with what? What values should these increment by when leveling?

[fpouk]

" In Battle, even though I had a correct weapon, it always said No Weapon.
" have to have weapon set as a combat item
how do you do that? i must be looking over it?

[R1chardYoung]

Revan,

I saw your post about lossing the work. If you need some storage space to keep this let me know.

Regards,

Richard.

[fpouk]

someone please tell me how to use a weapon?
i purchased a weapon but it wont let me select it from the battle screen. It only lets me use my fist??

[fpouk]

nevermind on my above posts

[fpouk]

one more ? though

why isnt each attack more random? everytime i use my first i do 21 damage (or something like) Why cant it be random? and say something like 21 one time and 15 the next and so on?

It's obvious that if you have more HP your gonna win the battle. If it was random there would be chances of some upsets.

[Revan]

Hi,

How does the PP and Limit work and with what? What values should these increment by when leveling?Depends on how strong members you want. I dont really remember the recommended values for this version of the hack, because the coding changed for v3.


Revan,

I saw your post about lossing the work. If you need some storage space to keep this let me know.

Regards,

Richard.Thanks for the offer, but I already got a host and I will be getting 600 GB hd space soon, but the problem is that I didnt anticipate the hd corrupting half of all my files, before finally destroying the rest of my files.... ;)

It's obvious that if you have more HP your gonna win the battle. If it was random there would be chances of some upsets...And this is a feature in v3 :) Damage is randomised +/- 10 % of the original damage :)

[fpouk]

anyway to have this to where your RPG stuff is only in your profile? and not in the postbit?

[Starscream]

Enter phpmyadmin, change default from 0 to 1 (or if 1 is default then to 0, cant remember :p)

Did that already. For some reason it isn't changing the users who had the original view and now they are no longer given the option to change it.

The only problem I've ran into, characters only get exp when they make a NEW thread, not a reply to a previous one. Is there any way to fix this? Sorry if its a repeat, I've searched and didn't see this problem answered anywhere else.

[Revan]

Well that exp gain is controlled by the EXP Per Reply setting. (Or was it called Per Post, I cant remember) :)

[Creed]

Yes, its called Per Post, however it only gives exp per New Thread created, not just per post made. Such this reply would not nab me any exp, however if I made a new thread I would get X amount of exp. Anyway to change that, so that ALL posts get exp? I will play with the EXP Per Post and see if anything changes.

[Revan]

The EXP Per Post is what controls how much EXP an user gains per reply, so yeah thats your setting :p

[Creed]

Thats my problem, its only giving that amount of EXP per NEW THREAD. Its not giving any exp for a reply. I have a character with 195 exp, when I reply to other people's threads I get 0 exp. When I create a new thread of my own, I get 5exp. Any ideas?

[Revan]

If you are sure you set the points per reply prop, then you have found a "bug" that only affects your forum outta the 200+ users that downloaded this :)
In other words, no clue what to do :P

[Creed]

Honestly I'm leaning toward it being a file edit that I have done wrong somewhere. I don't believe its a 'bug' I believe that this is something I've done. I was just looking for some input on what you guys think that I may have missed or messed up. I would be happy to take suggestions, as opposed to looking over all of the file edits 1 by 1. So, if you have any thoughts on where this might be, I'm all ears.

Hi I been told by transverse styles to come to here for help.

my problem is in navbar transverse works with some different code as in vbb default .

you have your code for the navbar addon but transverse uses this one:


if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
</if>


now i tried changing this code so it could fit but it gave me parse errors in admin_functions.php because well it's logic it can't find the code for it.

So now I would like some help with this and hope someone can because this sucks :(

thanks in advance.

Hi depax,

If you want to do that, you should ask the RPG modification author.

I haven't tampered with any of the JavaScript menus, so I am unsure why it will not work.

Did this work in the default style at all?

I assume you tried to install the dropdown version of the navbar addons.
Well see I didn't make that, so I dont know why it wont work... sorry.
You can try installing the other one, that uses no jscript. :)

Did you try that one, it is working absolutely fine for me! Note that the last edit section is at the extreme end of your NAVBAR template. If you're placing it above the <!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> then that would be your problem.

[givemeplain]

Thanks for quick reply, but I don't think that is the problem

see http://www.shiburaonline.com/index.php?

the nav looks like it works fine, but when you click on one of the links it gives the mysql error. not sure what's wrong =(!

[Creed]

You should try rerunning the installer, if you haven't already. It seems that it delted the tables, but didn't recreate them.

[givemeplain]

do I have the right installer?
When I press install it says it only installs clan and lottery tables. Aren't there more?

vB RPG Integration Hack v2.5 tables will be created in your vB mySQL...

Clan Tables Created

Lottery Table Created

installed OK!!

[Creed]

Yeah, there is a battleinstall.php too, you need to run that one as well. If you haven't.

[givemeplain]

Unknown column 'uttpoints' in 'field list'

that is the error I get on all the rpg pages. Am I missing an edit?

[Creed]

Do you have the ucash/ushop installed? Thats where the uttpoints field comes from. If not, then you just need to change your currency in the admin control panel.

[givemeplain]

nope I dont have ucash/ushop. Where can you edit currency? Thanks

[Creed]

* YOU MUST HAVE UCASH AND USHOP HACK INSTALLED FOR THIS TO WORK!
There's NO exceptions to this requirement. If you install this before you install uCash, you will get SQL errors and various other nasty stuff happening all over your board.
You have been warned.

Actually I guess I was wrong about it working without Ucash/uShop (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63793). You will need to install it before RPG hack will work at all. I was thinking about another hack that can use all different types of currency. Sorry Man, at least you know what your problem is now :)

[givemeplain]

I can't use then since I don't want to have to install ucash/ushop =(. Oh wells.

[Revan]

In v3, I plan to make this hack only half dependant on uCS. You will be able to change your currency (the option to do this in this version is really just a "preview"), but for the moment, the 'uttpoints' is hardcoded, sorry :(
In v3 you can install another points hack (or write one), and have RPG work with this, and I see you have clicked install, so you will be notified over email when v3 is out :)

[givemeplain]

Yea This rpg looked really good!
However, I have some suggestions that I think would make it really, really unique.

The mod could have different options, like admin driven
- Story Mode
- Forum Based Mode

In story mode, the admin creates different chapters of a story in the admin panel, and the members do their rpg while reading the story, so it all fits together. Sort of like a real game, but the admin controls the story all the time.

Forum based would be like a special RPG forum where members post a role play, and the admin (or members) create different scenes in the RPG mod to correspond with what is going on in the forum.

Well, thats just my 2 cents worth =).

Done.

Did you try that one, it is working absolutely fine for me! Note that the last edit section is at the extreme end of your NAVBAR template. If you're placing it above the <!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> then that would be your problem.


problem is it don't use this calender.php file as it's a button
searchin the navbar template won't show me either.
TS changed calender.php to header_calendar.gif with using a vbphrase.
and placed it in the header template as well.
I looked for quick links like I showed ya to put it in front.
But when I use it then it seems not to work.

[Creed]

If you were to show me what your navbar template looks like I may be able to help you. Just copy and paste its contents into a text file and attach it to an email @ cleeq@adelphia.net

First up well done fantastic system , We have just moved our site over from ipb to vb and i have to say i am very impressed at the extra functions and ease of use of vb , Here is a slight problem i am having with the rpg that i hope somebody can answer , The stats that show on the left hand side of each users post about their rpg status is pretty big and consumes alot of space , What i would like to do is reduce those stat bars a bit , See what i mean they are very big and blocky , Is there any way of reducing these down in size to like the ones that you see if you go through the nav bar and look at your stats ??? , Hope you understand what i mean i have included a picture so you can see what i am getting at.

[boydekort]

will do thanks please explain what you did fix though so I know

also same happens with ushop seems they use the same referer to calender.php all extensions do petz/arcade they all do and if I put them in like you said nothing shows.

mail send from depaxs@gmail.com

sorry I sended it in the plain mail :S

[TLSNetwork]

never mind on my question , Duh well don't i feel stupid , a little change from 9 to 4 makes a world of difference :rolleyes:

[Creed]

I have replied in an email to you, as well if it works properly then I'll be happy to add the coding here as well.

[boydekort]

thanks creed it's workin perfect :D]
what I did wrong was
<-usercp options> <!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

I put it in front of usercp options instead of inbetween

it works btw place it here :D

[Creed]

Alrighty :) Glad it worked for you!

also got the ushop fixed and the portal home thanks man I owe ya one.

[bozzy]

I seem to be missing something. I installed the hack and everything is working 100% fine, but how do I buy items? There are settings for the Item Shop in the AdminCP and they work just fine, but on the forums, there is no Item Shop. Where is the Item Shop installed?

Thanks

[bozzy]

Nevermind, I got it.

[TLSNetwork]

Hey guys is there an easy way to move the data that shows in the posts , (all the users rpg info) into there profile page , What i am wanting to do is remove all that info from the posts area as i feel it takes up way to much room and put it in there profile so that if anybody wants to see what a another user status is all they have to do is look at a users profile.
Has anybody ever done is , or could get me start on the best way of doing it

[bozzy]

This hack sucks. My character has a weapon and potion, but cannot use them in battle. The weapon and potion radio button things are greyed out.

This hack is stupid.

[bozzy]

What's all this about spells, as far as I can tell, there are no spells.

[givemeplain]

Instead of posting something stupid like saying "this sucks" you might try asking for help first. Did you ever think that you did something wrong? This hack offers a lot of things, and many many people find it enjoyable.

[bozzy]

I did not do anything wrong, the installation went without a hitch. It was perfect.

But the weapons and potions thing in the battle arena are greyed out even if you have them :/

[givemeplain]

Well, I'm not sure then because I just installed this mod =).

Anyways, I was wondering if there was a way to make threads that are only accessible if you are a certain level in the rpg. I was thinking of making a story to go along with the rpg. When you get to certain levels, you get more access to the story. (Like, if you are level 0-5 you get the first part) When you get to level 6, you get a new section of the storyline.

Anyway to do this? thanks.

You have to go into your AdminCP and edit the item's type before they will be able to be used in battles.

[bozzy]

There really needs to be some documentation for users...Yes there is a manual for admins, but people do not know how to play this game...

Why can't weapons, potions, and spells be used in battle?

[bozzy]

You have to go into your AdminCP and edit the item's type before they will be able to be used in battles.

Ok, what do I change it to?

[bozzy]

I went to the ITEM TYPE area of the admincp and every item is checked as GENERIC.

So I am guessing I uncheck every item and that's it?

[bozzy]

Great idea man, now none of the items are visible in the itemshop.

I am so confused. I don't appreciate being led on wild goose chases. I did what you said, and now all the items are GONE

[Creed]

First you go into your admin cp, click on itemshop, then click edit items. At the top you will see edit item types, then click on a valid battle item type. Images are included so you can see what to click. You would just want to repeat with Armor and Potions make then usable as well! :)

[givemeplain]

Ok I got weapons to work, but I cannot use potions or spells in battle. Also, I can't specify how much mp spells use up. The item type is set to spells.

But anyways, I spent a lot of time tinkering with this and made a whole story and got some people interested

http://www.shiburaonline.com/showthread.php?t=309

what do you think?

[bozzy]

First you go into your admin cp, click on itemshop, then click edit items. At the top you will see edit item types, then click on a valid battle item type. Images are included so you can see what to click. You would just want to repeat with Armor and Potions make then usable as well! :)

Ooooh that item type, I went to the other item type.

That's fixed...

How to characters learn spells? Do I have to add them as items? How do I do that? I mean I know how to, but how do I set how powerful each spell is? There isn't a setting for that when you create a spell...

[Revan]

Its called Buff.
That controls:

Weapon strength, if weapon
Armour defence, if armour
Spell damage/heal, if spell
Item heal, if item

HTH


//peace

[bozzy]

Ah, thanks

[givemeplain]

Spells and potions don't work..

[bozzy]

Yeah, when I use them in battle they NEVER work. What's going on?

[givemeplain]

and any idea when next version with bot battles is coming out?

[Revan]

About the spells and potions:
They DO work if you just update their Battle Types as described on the previous page.

And Im sorry, but I cannot give an ETA of the next version as of yet, too much work still remains.

//peace

[bozzy]

I did, I updated their battle types to potions and spells, respectively, and they still do not work in battle.
when you use them it says "[character] tries to use Hi-Potion, but it has no effect"

[bozzy]

I like this hack, there's just bugs in it.

Also, one of my members has an idea...for a future release....team battles....clans can challange other clans....

[Deaths]

Screens? Does anyone have screenshots?

[Revan]

Try checking the original thread, link can be found in the sticky topic :)

[Deaths]

Thanks :).
It looks really good, installed it just now.

I have a question though; the stats display in the postbit is rather long and big, heh. Is there away to make it in a drop down box?
If it is, it would be greatly appreciated.

[Revan]

*takes a mental note to add a new sticky and a new section to the FAQ*

Click the Addons link in my sig.

[Deaths]

Ah, ok, thanks :)
