I agree totally! By the way, so far, it works wonderfully. *giddy*

sorry guys i was`nt whinging - just felt gutted :)

congrats on top hack by the way and cant wait till its released to the genral public

When will lottery be released or is it possible to buy early?

Last time I heard, it was part of vBCredits version 4. I wonder myself if that changed...

The Lottery/Raffle System is part of v 1.4 and it's really something to see! :up:

Lottery is part of 1.4, you are welcome to come play with it at vbcredits.com until the final version is ready. There is nothing to buy, as the script will come out free soon, but premium members at vbc can test out beta versions for themselves early.

Gah i'd buy it right now :[
Im coming to play with it but you lot are making me jelous i realy want 1.4 :'(

I am interested in this mod (in a big way) but I wonder if waiting for 1.4 makes sense or if 1.4 will be able to be easily installed over the top of the current version?

1.4 should be pretty easy to install over 1.3

just getting to a couple bugs in 1.4, and adding in the missing admin tools and such

I'm getting pretty excited for 1.4. Should I wait to install 1.4 or get the 1.4b and just upgrade?

We felt that releasing what we had done so far as beta to premium members would help us with a controled beta test. And when we release it to 200K members here, we want to make sure its a good stable product, as professional made as possible, and doesn't waste our time or yours working out issues with bugs that should of been fixed before release anyway.

Please note the techically the beta is ment for localhost testing and not a production enviroment.

Although I think some of those testing are doing that anyway, they can tell you how stable the beta is them selves. and or what they think of it so far.

Part of this process also gives dark time to make sure all the addons and converters we have are also stable with vbcredits v1.4, aka IBP Arcade, Living avatars, v3arcade, vBookie and other addons, including vbcredit$, Hide Hack, and more.. these all need to be tested and worked out so that when we release the FREE full version of vBCredits v1.4 to you guys that everything is working.

Seems the way we have choosen to do this makes the best sense and gives you guys the best possible product for your forums/communities, period!

We're sorry for those that don't read what we've said above and or uninstall, your missing out on some cool stuff that we'll be working on after this release.

Anyway guys, thanks supporting our scripts, dark and I both doing our best to get both support and stuff out in a timely mannor :D

Please remember to click install so we have a general idea of whos using it :D

1.4b (1.4 beta)
this version is if you just can't wait and want to see whats in it, however not all systems are finished yet for it.

1.4 (final stable)
we'll have upgrades for both 1.4beta and 1.3, so its your call if you want to wait. 1.4b is running on our site, so you can test it there if you want. Not all our pro/free addons are updated yet for 1.4b so again its you call.

Darks working as hard as he can to get updates, and 1.4b stable for release here :D

Great job!

I wanted to report a minor bug/issue, in vBCredits 1.3. In credits.php, you have this:

This is not good if you have user names that use special characters like underscore, unless you escape them. It is better to simply do something like:

Otherwise, money sent to a user called the_magic could go to a user called The Magic, or something like that.

:D i suppose you have a point there - will be added in 1.4, thanks a lot!

Hi Dark,

I'm running IBank along with vBcredits...

The 'Top Credit Holders' list shows the top credit holders by credits (on hand).
Is there a way to show top credit holders by total credits (on hand + in bank)?

Thanks

no, not presently

That's what I would like. I'm using 1.4 and would like the credits that show on the memberlist and in the postbit to include what's in the bank.

guess can't seem to view "credits.php" how do i enable this? other wise ill just have to block it in robots.txt

Also the layout is abit dodgy.. is there away to remove the control panel on the left? because seems crap imo..

you could take it out i guess, but im not going to

i will see about adding something

Darkwaltz4 -

Don't worry about those who haven't a clue sir. Keep up the fantastic, cutting edge work you are doing and know you have supporters everywhere. :up:

:D thanks for the words of encouragement

there is now a new option in 1.4 which allows you to toggle whether to display Checking (on-hand), Savings (bank), or Combined (both). keep in mind it will still only display one number per thing, because thats what i want :-p (just does one, the other, or added together now)

look for it when it comes out :D

Hi, I have it all installed and working but it is not showing up in usercp tab.

Does the manage credits link NOT display at the bottom of the usercp? Do the following:
Edit the template USERCP_SHELL, and add this at the end of the link cells: $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]

I have to do this, but where are the link cells? what do i need to find :/

Thanks in advance :)

heres what i done

find:

</table>
<!-- / usercp nav -->

above add

$template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]

thanks bazzup, saved me some time there :-p

vbcredits 1.4 is almost done... it has been discovered that the earliest version of vbulletin required for vbcredits 1.4 will be 3.6.6, however it may be moved up even more as i check through all of the required components - so take this time to upgrade your vbulletin if at all possible :) i *may* eventually provide instructions for earlier versions of vbulletin, but it is *very* low priority

im also removing template hook support due to it being one of the main sources of problems... :-/ sucks though, its such a nice idea. its okay, the instructions have details on inserting the right code. tms support remains, but now easier for you to edit how everything looks

no problem john

on another note, just trying your site there and it seems really slow any known problems i made a post about it but cant seem to get back on?

Hi, thanks but it is still not showing up :/

Is that correct or am i being dim :)

yeah thats right when you goto usercp it will be on the bottom left in the misc part

yeah, something is up with the server. PixelFX is asleep so im not sure he even knows about it yet >.< will surely be fixed in a few hours or so

you look good, what version of vb are you using?

Hi,

3.6.4

The whole thing appears to be working, just not in usercp.

I have updated all my templates :/

I can see the donate credites block and the transaction window at the bottom of the user cp page, is it meant to show in the menu also, on the left?

Thanks for the response Dark.

In the meantime, I editted two of the vBcredit templates to add a column to the 'Top Credit Holders' list to show 'Banked Credits'.
I also cheated and withdrew enough of my bank credits to be on the top of the list...lmao.
Then I changed it back, you can view it here:

Gaming-Forum.org Top Credit Holders List

Looking very much forward to the release...will be a great and better replacement to the long dead vBplaza.

SPeed issue was a DOS Attack on our ftp, IP's have been delt with .. I'll be changing how the software loads on our server, so its specific to 1 account vs open ended ips. Should fix the speed issues massively.

just add this to your usercp then in the location you added the template hook.

keep in mind the minimum version for vbcredits 1.4 will be 3.6.6 (so far)

:-p the new switch thats been added also takes into effect for memberlist and the top x list

>.<

The credits on the navbar below pm box doesn't show up in ipbproarcade or vbadvanced cmps but shows up in all other pages how come? please someone help thanks my site is www.thetechlife.org

you can apply this for the time being:
http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222

thanks a lot, that fixed the issue ;)

wow it is so great !!
can you say some think about it ?
I want to put vbcredits in my Music VBB

Example , if you want to play songs , you have to pay money ..
i think it is very good

http://quadautay.info/freetimevn/index.php
Music index

please post addon requests in the appropriate forum at vbcredits.com :)

also a quick note - very soon (either tomorrow or day after) vbcredits 1.4rc1 will be put up for free for members. the final version will be uploaded here at vbulletin.org :D

I am struggling to remember anyone ever milking vb.org and it's members as much as you lot.....seriously!

Sure you are not a politician by chance? :D

Every time I see this thread updated I cringe as I know it will either be a post saying "it's coming soon!" or a load of self-patting on the back for a job well done on how amazing this new product is, and you all can have it earlier than others (for a small fee) of course.

You've done and said this so often the hype is now gone, I for one was looking forward to the new version, for some reason i no longer care about it and will be uninstalling it shortly.

What does the latest version add? Is there a changelog available?

sorry youll be missing out cybertims :-/ thank you for trying it in the first place though

this is what is in 1.4, and why it has taken so long.

trying to get the rc done for today. and theres 21 hours left in today so dont murder me :) also note this list is a little old, so a couple things have been switched around, added, removed, etc

ill post the official list when 1.4 goes final and gets posted to vbulletin.org, again the rc is a free vbcredits.com members-only thing :p and yes, publicity scheme, otherwise youll have to wait two extra days or so for the final version (which is a lot of cleaning up of the admin options, adding in admin help, and adding hooks)
