well since you got it installed right now, do you notice any other bugs left besides the one's that have fixes posted for?

It seems ok now... so far so good..

Maybe it looks like i dont have the time anymore? I did not screw up many peoples forums, as stated hacks are installed at the users risk, but your right, it does mess things up, but only a tiny bit, until they either undo the php edits, or see the fix. Its not like it deleted every members posts or something.

Dont you think i find it tedious myself that i dont have the time for updates and fixes? Dont you think i would love to do it? Because believe me i would.

And when i get the time, i will do the updates, and fixes to the best i can. And your right, i should update the zip, i completely forgot so i will do that now.

thanks mindtrix, we appreciate it

Nope alot of people dont, and then some do. But i will get this sorted soon even if i have to pay someone else to do it for me.

lol ok well reguardless of the one's that don't, I do

This is a pretty nice hack. Some of you may know I coded Petz which included a battle system but the main difference between a rap battle and an RPG style battle is that it is a competition of lyrics and a winner cant be determined by php.

I have heavily changed the hack but it is still not working well on our boards, as people aren't entering usernames, although I made the code check if the opponent user exists or if there is an opponent user selected, if not it skips the RBS hack. I guess a good way to make users USE the system would be to not let the thread be posted if an opponent isn't entered. Which I didn't do because other threads may need to be posted: IE: rules and stuff.

Also the voting of other members isn't very good, it is a new board (9 days) but there are 100+ members so to combat this I had an idea, if the forum is set so only Admins/(s)Moderators can vote and the RBS uses a max vote of 1. Then a staff can choose the winner. (not done yet)

I also had to expand the scope of the hack so I could use more than one battle thread. I chose to use 5 and use the same drop down box selection system.

Another Idea I had would be to PM the opponent when a thread is created... Saying something like: 'You are in a battle with $battlestarter Please go to this thread: $battlethread.'
Like mindtrix I have time problems, but if you wana check out how I have used the hack (only a few threads in the battle arena are using the hack) http://www.lyricalfury.com

Nice hack, if you would like to get together and work on this mindtrix send me a PM, unfortunately I'm going to Uni next September and I'm finishing off 3 a levels at the moment so I don't have the time I would like.

mindtrix do ya mind updating the instructions for 3.0.5? because some of the coding like in admincp/user.php are different

If anyone can fix it so that it will force the thread starter to enter a username in the challenger field then this hack will be complete for ME.

I have been messing with the vbulletin_global.js file but I can't figure out anything.

I was trying to make an example coding out of the subject text requirement coding for the challenger text requirement coding but since I dont know a damn thing about php or js, I gave up

If anyone can come up with this then that would be nice.

Also, ZSdave can I have your modification for this hack.

thanks

Can this be used for photoshop contests?
