I have gotten weapons to work but not potions. I set them as potions but they still won't work in battle.

I had installed this way back in the beginning, I think it was the first version on a test board (had two lisences). So I gave all my members access to my test board. The problem I found was that there were too many addtional queries (in the newthread and newpost becsaue of the money addtions) and with +80 users on it raped the server so I had to take the battle hack out. Has this been resolved? is there a new way to dish out money?

*edit* Also is there a way to remove a specific user from the battle part of a message board? This would be good becasue you can punish spammers without doing to much work.

Thanks,
Voidz

The members on my board came up with this too. I wouldnt mind seeing a whole bunch of NPC that only give you experience if it is a challenge. Like depending on the level you are at will determin a monster for you too fight.

Not really.

In battle.php find:
and replace it with

I visited your forums and it appears that some people's stats are being saved. Is there a certain member whose stats are not being saved?

If the claw weapon is doing too much then reduce its buff value. Remember, weapons will do different amounts of damage depending on the opponent.


That's because you didn't tell the potions whether or not they should heal MA or HP. You do this at the Edit items menu in the admin cp. Look for checkboxes below the columns labeled "Heal HP" and "Heal MA".

3 of those queries are from the original itemshop, 2 of them are mine. They can be reduced to 4 total, but that is as small as it can get while maintaining functionality. Glancing over newthread.php, it appears that there are a maximum of 14 queries, not including the ones added by this hack. It does not seem reasonable that the addition of 5 queries max would disrupt a server like that, although it is possible. Other ways of giving money have been proposed by several people, including money for referrals and a default amount of money won at the end of a successful battle.

There is no easy way to exclude certain people from the hack, although you could put them in a separate usergroup and ban that usergroup manually through the .php files. Other than that, the only way is to manually ban them in the .php files.

Since I can't use the Itemshop bank, what about installing the Lesane's Store bank? Would that work with this or cause problems? -- My members are complaining about money being taken away, like they had 300 when they left the board, and only 160 or something when they come back the next day. I was thinking that it might have something to do with thread pruning because when I deleted a forum that had records of the battles, it reduced everyone's post count and money count.
So I thought if I installed a bank, they could put it there and it wouldn't get reduced. But I wanted to check first, because I don't want to mess anything up with this hack.

I also have a *few* suggestions for this hack, but only suggestions, so you don't have to do them. But they'd help me a bunch and maybe other people. :D

- Instead of an Admin/Mod class, could there be an option to set it to a specific group? Like one for only Mods and one for Super Mods, and one for only Admin? Etc.
- I have a lot of items in the itemshop and I'd love to add more but I've so much that it got impossible to edit them so I had to delete some. What I was thinking was, can the item categories be collapsable instead, so all of the items wouldn't be listed at once.
- Members are asking if the weapons/spells/etc have anything to with elements, and it doesn't seem like it does. Would it be possible to add an elemental strength and weakness to weapons, spells and armor so that it does have something to do with the elements. Plus, it'd make things more fun. :]
- Would it be possible to also make certains items available to a certain person? I wanted to have a special weapon/spell for myself, so the only want I can do it is to set the stock to 0 and make the price way too high. ^^;

That's all I thought of right now. ^^;; Thanks and WB btw.

battle stats not save on certain members like rollback to 0-0-0-0
it happened on me twice already rollback 0-0-0-0

yesterday bank interest 10% daily dont work

Did you try the db fix Lioncool?

I was going to read through this entire thread, but I decided to skip to the last page after I reached the 24th page. This is a BIG thread!

Anyway, I just need to make sure of a couple things:

1. This hack is still in its beta stage, correct?

2. This hack will work on a clean installation of vBulletin 2.3.0 without any errors, correct? If any problems have been discovered, can someone please list the errors/fixes?

I know this is asking a lot, so I'm going to attempt reading the entire topic again. I'll edit some of this out if I find some answers on my own. Thanks.

Ok from what I have heard:

1- Yes, there are still bugs being fixed (some very annoying ones at that)

2- It has for some people but some had problems, all of which were fixed by people with experience with this hack.

Hope that helped you.

Installing Lesane's Store bank and using that points system should work, just make sure you set the appropriate options in the admin cp so that this hack knows to use the Store's points. I am not sure as to why money is getting taken away, since there are no queries that do that in any of the files. I wouldn't think that pruning posts would do anything either since no edits were made to that file. Are you sure that another mod/admin isn't taking away points and not telling you? Did the money get deducted from everyone, including you?

Heh, those are some hefty additions.


Are you sure someone isn't manually resetting the stats? Is there another admin? How many people has it happened to?

The bank interest only works if you visit the bank once every 24 hours. The visit timer is not reset until 24 hours has passed since the last visit, during which time you can visit all you want, but the timer will not reset. This is a known problem from the original itemshop and may be fixed in the next version, no guarantees though.

Yes.

Yes, it should work fine on a clean 2.3.0. Any errors/problems that have been reported would be after the post I made about the last version (0.65). So, if you start reading at my post about version 0.65 (which is linked in the first post) up until this post, then you should be aware of all issues and problems people are having.

If you have any specific questions or problems, don't forget about the "search this thread" feature at the bottom of this page :)

i did run db fix

Bitsys i'm for sure nobody reset battle stats

so far i know 2 ppl me and other member

Ok lion I am not sure then I have never had this problem..
Anyways Bitsys mah man I have an idea.
Will you be able to add a small addon that allows people to choose a character face/profile pic that they use for the rpg?
And maybe during battle you can add it in somewhere so it wont mess with anything... Anyways just something I thought would be nice.

where i can get that addon hacks i dont know how to do it

where i can get that addon hacks i dont know how to do it

where i can get that addon hacks i dont know how to do it

Umm three times lol ^^?
Anyways what do you mean??

Bitsys, so is 0.65 the final release or what?

Im having problems with my items.

Players of a pretty high level and close stats, seem to be doing either no damage or massive amount of damage. I keep ajusting the item buffs but i cant ind a good medium. does anyone have any good item to armor balences?

Also Bytsys. Users fists are doing more damage then some of the weapons. I got my weapons buffed so there kinda stable and not giving to much or to little damage so i rather not change there values unless im absolutly sure they will work fine. SO i want to know how to change the damage fists do. Can you tell me where the formula for the fist damage is kept?

I haven't had any money deducted, but then again I haven't been checking. So I don't really know for sure. -- But a lot of people are complaining about it.
Are the only people able to deduct points, Moderators (besides Admin)? Or can regular members steal from each other?

u posted 6 times in a row. u can delete them.

Hi everyone, I'm and admin at jitway1's board, and I'm having a few problems with this hack.

1) User made shops. I've rtfm, searched this thread, and I can't seem to find the info I need to get the user made shops to work.

What I've done thus far:

1) Opened my own shop.
2) Defined the items in said shop via the shop admin, not the admin cp.
3) Set the item classes up in the admin cp.
4) Sold a user a weapon that was set for his class.
5) Faught with that user.

In the fight, the user couldn't use the item as a weapon.

Facts about relevent settings
- The user was the proper class / level to use the item.
- The category shop that the item was bought in was defined as a 2 handed weapon.

I'm kinda afraid that the error is something bilndingly simple here.

And my second problem is that every day the users get a wholw whack of money. In the thousands. I know that they could not have gotten it through posting, becuase it's set to 15 per post and it's pretty unlikely that everyone in the forum posts over 75 times a day. I know that it's not bank interest, becuase users who had a bank balance of 0 were recieving cash as well. As you might imagine, none of the users are complaining about this one, but the admins are having to outragously raise the prices of everything in the default shop.

the bank interest daily 10% is not working been 5 days already
i did run db fix anybody know how to fix

Where is bitsys???
I havent seen him around its weird...

i think he's on vacation again lol

Thank You sonic3d, I have deleted the posts :bunny:

I'm having problems where. I tried to reinstall it because alot of the stuff went wrong, so I erased (i think) all the tables via phpadmin and did a clean install. Problem is that when I try to edit my char, it says im in battle. Did I miss something? Can anyone please help? Thanks.

--- edit ----
silly me :rolleyes: i found what was wrong. it was the user table, under my name, saying i was inbattle :P set that puppy to 0 and im good to go! ^___^ awsome hack.


--- edit 2 ---
i was wondering if anyone had a...items list that they could share? I see all these items in the itemshop i wonder how i will ever think up all the stats. Any help would be great :) Thanks.

Holiday?? bummer ^^"

Well, I finally did it. I read this entire thread from start to finish.

Anyway, I have one more problem, this time involving the way the itemshop.php file displays info. I recentally aorginzed all the items into categorys basesd on the classed we set up, and for every new weapon category, it made a new 'slot' on the page. <a href="http://www.jitway.com/jit_shot1.JPG">Sceen shot</a>.

What that pic is, is the itemshop.php file, right above where the links to the item shops are. At first it wasn;t that big of an issue, and I just assumed that the hack hasent gotten to that part yet, but now it's really freakin' me out!

I'd like to know is:
- Why are the missing images calling for a file called .gif (no file name, just dot-gif)
- Why isn't any info being displayed, for all those slots?
- Is there anyway I can just get rid of all that from being displayed, so no one has to see it / scroll down, or is it something absolutely necessary?

Next, on the same page since I went nuts with the arranging, I have a LOT of sub-shops between the Default shop, and the Custom made user shops (which I still cant figure out, lol).
<a href="http://www.jitway.com/jit_shot2.JPG">Heres a screenshot</a> of that too.

- Is there anyway that I can get those not to be displayed in the shop page, but have it so the users could still access the shop through the text links for their class?

Any help regarding any of my questions from either post would be greatly appreciated.

btw, I'm using V 0.65

Where is bytsis... i thought he was back now...

Can you recall any event that may have caused the stats to reset?

That has been suggested a couple of times. I can't really do something like that right now that I would feel is satisfactory to the idea.

Nope. I am not sure yet.

Moderators can add/subtract points as they please in addition to admins. Users cannot steal (this bug was fixed a while ago).

Member-created shop items cannot be used in battle because admins cannot effectively regulate prices. Allowing member-created items would unbalance the weapons in the regular shop.


Moderators can give money. Are you sure that they are not giving money?

This may be fixed in the near future.

Heh, its only been 3 days ;)

Quite the contrary, it appears that my vacation generated a lot of work I had to do when I got back. Kinda like catching up after being sick for a while...not all that fun.

The images are called ".gif" because the variable that comes before it is not initialized and therefore is blank. This should be replaced by a "No Item.gif" link in the near future.

The info isn't being displayed because it is not being read from the database properly, or the information in the database does not exist.

Can you verify the integrity of your itemshop_its template and browse the items_user table to ensure that there is actually data in there?


A few pages back (10-20), Darkwaltz4 posted the mods he has made to this hack involving the itemshop. He made the default itemshop page expanded by default by adding "expandall=1" to the end of the links to the itemshop. I think this is what you want to do in order to only display the appropriate categories.


BTW, I like your itemshop, the images are cool :)

Thanks we have really been trying to liven things up a bit and your hack is the greatest.

It is not possible to have a .gif in windows but if you upload it as image.gif and then when upload rename to .gif it will work.

wow i really want to install this...but I want to put it on a full production board for members to play with in their spare time....any idea on a final release date?

Wow Bitsys, you really know where your towl is, I can't even imagine how many hours you've put into this hack, but I really do appreciate all the time and love you've devoted to it. Thank you not only for all your hard work, but also for raking the time to awnser our questions.

Anyhoo, I don't think the mods adding to the players funds, as it we have 95 members and there all getting the bonus. It seems unlikely the mods would bother to give non-participants a bonus every day, or so.

Thanks for clearing up the custom shop, and the .gif image issues. I thought that I may have screwed it up some how, lol.

I did make a gif image, and rename it to .gif in the itemshop icon dir. on the server before I posted the problem, no effect.

The info on the database does exist, and it seems to be read properly that I'm sure of, but I'm not sure what you ment by verify the file integrety of itemshop_its. Nobody has edited it from its presets.

As soon as I can fix find out why some people are having problems.


Could you run DB Fix and tell me what it says? Also, what happens when you buy an item? Does the item show up?

One more thing, can you give me the information stored in the items_user database for a userid that is having problems with the images at the top of the itemshop? I just need the complete set of what is in the itemXX, itidXX, etc. columns where XX is a number. If you don't understand, try looking at the structure and it should be pretty obvious.

Magic has to be learnt, where do we learn it anyway..??

I installed the member profile everything works fine but one thing
when i go to donate gives me an erro mysql error

strange thing is it works in my forum but the members section.

Bitsys, the templates are messed up badly, one thing, I get a invalid "battlescene.gif" error at the top when battling.
