I got a problem with Conquest System. Normaly you get after 1 hour 1 turn etc, but after 8 hours i only got 4 turns :( Does someone know about this problem and how to fix it?

moat	07-06-2009 01:32 AM

Had that same issue. Our forum is mostly local so its doesn't get any hits overnight. The way VB's scheduling works if noone's hit the site for a few hours the next person only triggers one update and doesn't catchup on the missed ones. I made a few changes to the update script to calculate the number of missed updates and perform a catchup of the missed ones (just wrapped the existing code in a loop)

My conquestCycle.php below. I've changed the update time to 30 mins (the figure of 1800 in 2 lines below) and changed the VB scheduler to 15 minutes. A bit rough but it worked.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



// ######################## SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

if (!is_object($vbulletin->db))

{

    exit;

}



// ########################################################################

// ######################### START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// ########################################################################



$settings = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_gameset");



$time = time();

// $next = $settings[gLastCycle] + (60 * $settings[gCycleMinutes]);

$loopz = (time()-$settings[gLastCycle]) / 1800;

$roundednext = time() - (time() % 1800);



// if ($time >= $next)

for($i=1;$i<=$loopz;$i++)

{

    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE IGNORE ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_gameset SET gLastCycle = '".$roundednext."'");



    $players = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_players AS conquest_players

        LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_nations AS conquest_nations ON conquest_players.nationID = conquest_nations.nationID

    ");



    while ($player = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($players))

    {

        $spyCost = $player[pSpies] * $settings[gSpyUpkeep];

        $goldGain = ceil($settings[gCycleGold] * (1 + $player[nIncome]/100)) - $spyCost;



        $newTurns = $player[pTurns] + $settings[gCycleTurns];

        $newGold = $player[pGold] + $goldGain;

        $newTroops = $player[pTroops] + $settings[gCycleTroops];



        if ($newTroops < $settings[gMinTroops]) { $newTroops = $settings[gMinTroops]; }

        if ($newTurns > $settings[gMaxTurns]) { $newTurns = $settings[gMaxTurns]; }



        $vbulletin->db->query_write("

            UPDATE IGNORE ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_players

            SET    pTurns = ".$newTurns.",

                pGold = ".$newGold.",

                pTroops = ".$newTroops."

            WHERE playerID = ".$player[playerID]."

        ");

    }

}



?>

Jaxel is there any way i can add the (Turns and gold) to just "Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 55" in the navbar bit so people can see when they get turns etc..

this gets used so much on my forum lol
Thanks for this great mod ;)

Can anyone please tell me how to change a player's nation? One nation has grown extremely powerful, as everyone is joining that one, and I'd like to even the odds, and switch teams.

EDIT: Nevermind. I found the SQL is pretty easily to manipulate.

I am thinking about bringing this into my site but my users will not be excited about the ..um.... fantasy aspect of it, it is a sports forum. So I was thinking about changing some of the terms and changing the three nation graphics. The latter is easy enough to do. What I am worried about is that I will be screwed when I go to update the product. Do you think this will be an issue? Is there a safe way for me to change it?

ged	07-13-2009 05:28 AM

Nobody knows about forward updates ATM.

I applied the fix in this thread and it fixed it.

Use your ftp program (the one you use to upload files to your server) for this.

In most FTP programs all you need to do is to right click "nations" folder and give every group all the permissions.

Here's one example how it looks in some program:

Excuse me? Read his post, before you make stupid remarks. ;)

He was asking on a possible time frame on when we could expect the updates. We all know Jaxel is mega busy with other projects, but it doesn't mean he can't give us a ballpark figure of when he might be able to update this mod.

Awesome mod! We use it at http://www.weplayciv.com and it's very popular with our players.

However there is a SEVERE error in how the AR and DR are calculated. Using the supplied formulas the effect of a promotion affects every unit in the army, not a single unit. Also to note in the original formula, natural attack/defense bonus of the Civ is not calculated unless the player has a promotion (multiply by zero issue). Thus the most efficient use of converting gold to AR/DR is to purchase level 1 or 2 promotions. Forget upgrades as the bonus is massively less than spending the equivalent on promotions. Like I'm talking many thousands of AR/DR points.

So with that in mind I've created new formulas to calculate both ratings correctly, where a promotion is only applied to a single unit and upgrades affect the entire army. This has fixed all the inbalance for us. :)

The below code replaces the same functions in functions_conquest.php in your Conquest folder in the forums.

Code:

function fetch_offense($player)

{

        global $vbulletin;



        $weapons = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_stock AS conquest_stock

                LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_weapons AS conquest_weapons ON conquest_stock.stockID = conquest_weapons.weaponID

                WHERE conquest_stock.playerID = ".$player[playerID]." AND conquest_stock.stockType = 'weapon'

                ORDER BY conquest_weapons.wPower DESC

        ");

        $count = array();



        while ($weapon = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($weapons))

        {

                for ($i = 0; $i < $weapon[stockCount]; $i++)

                {

                        array_push($count, ($player[oPower] * ($weapon[wPower] / 100)));

                }

        }



        $power = 1 + ((array_sum(array_slice($count, 0, $player[pTroops])) + ($player[pTroops] * $player[oPower])) * ((100 + $player[nOffense]) / 100));



        return $power;

}



function fetch_defense($player)

{

        global $vbulletin;



        $armours = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_stock AS conquest_stock

                LEFT JOIN ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_armours AS conquest_armours ON conquest_stock.stockID = conquest_armours.armourID

                WHERE conquest_stock.playerID = ".$player[playerID]." AND conquest_stock.stockType = 'armour'

                ORDER BY conquest_armours.aPower DESC

        ");

        $count = array();



        while ($armour = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($armours))

        {

                for ($i = 0; $i < $armour[stockCount]; $i++)

                {

                        array_push($count, ($player[dPower] * ($armour[aPower] / 100)));

                }

        }



        $power = 1 + ((array_sum(array_slice($count, 0, $player[pTroops])) + ($player[pTroops] * $player[dPower])) * ((100 + $player[nDefense]) / 100));



        return $power;

}

Another thing we found in our previous game is that 90% of players gravitated to 3 out of 10 nations. This caused a huge inbalance in player numbers leaving most nations with a couple of players and prime targets against the bigger nations.

So I implemented the following if .... else .... then statement around the join nation button to help spread players across all nations. Basically, if the player percentage of that nation is lower than a set threshold then the join button is active, otherwise you get a message saying recruitment disabled for that nation. For us I used 20% of all players in the game as the threshold, but you can change it to whatever works for the number of nations you have. For example, with 3 nations you would probably want to set this threshold to 50%, so no nation has more than half the total players.

In style manager open conquest_enlist_bit and find the form submission for joining a nation. Replace it with this:

Code:

                        <if condition="$nation[AVGplayerID] < 20">

                                <form action="$filename?do=homebase" method="post">

                                <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

                                <input type="hidden" name="joinrequest" value="$nation[nationID]" />

                                <input type="submit" value="<phrase 1="$nation[nName]">$vbphrase[conquest_enlist_join]</phrase>" />

                                </form>

                        <else />

                                Recruitment disabled. Join other Civ.

                        </if>
