done that.. it don't work

Hey all I havent posted in a while but here is some new things I would like to share!!
Addon1: Stop members from editing their characters after they have set them up (turn on and off in admin cp)
I will just fix up the install and then it will be released.
Addon2: Me and Metal Gear (close friend) are now working on AI players!!
It shouldnt be too hard and when we have done some work we I will update you guys :)

Guys everything sounds awesome, I'm working on an alternative system to middle earth I'll post it here for you guys soon.

I have a question though, can you add a system to add PvM, aka Player Vs Monster? Chrisz after reading yoour post, if you guys could add support for monster AI that would be cool.

basicially a system, that you can do the battle system with members, and or say challegene the big bad dragon etc when you think you have the best armor or weapons etc ;) As a graphics designer I can help with making new character and monster art if needed :)

to everyone thats worked on this system so far, just wanted to say very kewl, and wow for all the work thats gone into this so far.

the ideas for whats possible are endless :)

Thats what we are doing lol.
I will post how things are going soon, just waiting to hear from Metal Gear again
PS: And as for the Monster gif already taken care of ;)
One thing we were thinking of adding is how many times a user is allowed to battle monsters per day. Keeping it a low number will stop members from getting extremely powerful.

Good news all!!!
Just been talking with Metal Gear and...
It all seems to be working!! He will upload it when he gets home and we will run the final tests :)
Our next project after it is released and everyone is pleased is the clan battles :)

chrisz, thanks a lot. i can't wait to get my hands on it. thann agian.

also is there neway in the user cp profile, to make it by default for the class to be the one that they chose instead of always archer.

Yeah NPC's and Monsters is something that I asked bit-sys about, and doesn't sound like it's going to happen. so if you guys integrated it that would be awesome.

chris, im really anxious for that addon which limits people to not be able to change.

I'm getting this error as well, how did you fix it?

chrisz, sounds great, :)

I'm about to install v66 or should I wait for next update?

Hmm, I idea for groups, which be to setup user groups? aka like moderator or admin, but version of it for say clan groups in the hack? Not sure what this would entail but it's an idea.

;)

First of all, I'd like to apoligize if this question has been answered before, but anyway...

I'm having a problem with spells. I set a few up a few days ago. I've had a few members purchase them since then, but they can't seem to use the spells. I tested it out myself, and the problem is that the option to use it isn't given during battles at all. I'm sure the solution is obvious, but could someone please point it out to me?

Ok guys Im off to school when i get back I will test the AI hack and then if all goes well I will set up the install and post it here.
As for the RPG Profile Addon I still have to add the admin option to turn it off and on.

It means that the battle was cancelled by the challenger. Or the battle was deleted by Admin. ^^;

----------
I've got a quick question.
I have a forum called "Records" to keep all the battles played. But I was notified today that some of the battle records are out of order in the gameplay. For example, in the middle of the thread it would say
"[Attack executed]
[Name] died!"
And the next line in the thread would be another attack, and so on. So, the death/end of that battle was not in the right place. And possibly other attacks too.
How can this be fixed? Because I like having this forum there for reference in strategies about how to defeat high-stat members and whatnot.

The instructions for this hack does not make any mention of modifying templates.

Can somebody please just upload what their "postbit" template looks like? This way I can easily add this to my site.

Also, can somebdy PLEASE export your items, items_cats, items_options & items_user tables in your database. The hack here has no items in it and I am confused as to how to add them. It would be much easier to import the tables from a already populated items list.

PLEASE??

I have all features installed onto my postbit. My expander makes displaying the RPG hack a little more convenient.

This is what my postbit looks like.

I would just like to show off my postbit :)
And no I wont release it lol ;)

But seriously it tells you how to add it to the postbit in the instructions. Next time read more carefully.

chrisz, that can be easily done. >_>;

....
/me gets HTML for dummies

Seriously we saw that same post bit somewhere, me and my co-admin that is. Um, we almost made a replica but didn't come out the same way. Mark my words, I will come up with something better!
*runs from Chrisz*

Anyway, were you able to test the AI hack? ^^;

I'm playing both sides of this and I'm the only one with access to the admin panel so I don't see how that would be the case. Thanx anyways SavgeDusk. Anyone else have an answer?

Sorry I couldn't help, Jagang.

I have another question. I'm confused about EXP.
The settings are:
Power level modifier
This controls how fast user's gain levels based on their experience.
Keep the value between 1 and 5. Integers only. (Low number = more experience needed to gain a level) == That's set to 3.

Amount of experience to give users for each post. == That's set to 5 (and I do have "Gain EXP for posting" enabled btw).

So, I thought that you gain 5 EXP for every post, but now I'm not seeing any EXP being added. I'm level 72 right now, so I was wondering if since the first setting is at "3", does that have anything to do with my not seeing any difference? If I set it to "5", would it go back to giving out 5 EXP per post on the board? The only way I'm seeing any EXP gained is thru battling. I have that set to 10 EXP per turn and 20 EXP per win.

Are you sure this is the case? The battle should take money out of the user's bank account first, then it should take it out of their pocket. The winner's money is then deposited in their bank accounts. Make sure you are checking the bank account and not just the user's pocket. I just tested this and it worked for me.



Hmm, I don't see anything wrong there. I am still looking in to it.


Could you explain the problem in a little greater detail? Are you saying the user CP has duplicate places to enter information?

Are there items in the category?


What is the URL that the link is pointing to?


In the Edit Items Menu, did you click on the [edit] link next to the category name and assign a Battle Type to the category?


Can you verify that the 'lastactive' column in the `battle` table of your database has an integer value for all of the battles? If so, can you give me some of the values in the lastactive column?

The instructions explicitly stated how to add the default items. It also has a section that discusses how to edit your postbit template. Please re-read install.txt.


So, you can see the battles in the admin cp, but when you try to type in the URL or click on the links on the Battle Browse menu nothing happens? What is the URL it is taking you to?

The power level modifier is just used to determine how your level is calculated from your experience. If the power level modifier is set to 1 and you have 100 experience, then you will be around level 2 or 3. However, if the power level modifier is set to 5 and you have 100 experience, then you will have a level above 10. The change is immediately applied after you update the value in the admin cp.

I made some changes to the exp per post code 4 or 5 versions ago, so let me go check on it to see if I missed something.

Interesting problem. It seems when somebody logs into my board and modifies their profile. They select their race, element, alignment, and gender, but it goves them nothing to choose from on the "class" list. However, if an Administrator logs in, he can select anything he wants. The is the same if the user is a "registered", "moderator" or whatever. Only an "Administrator' can select a class.

What am I missing?

Yes 2 places in the profile part of the usercp I'm using 2.3.0.....

so there are 2 sets of classes etc etc

I am using 2.30 as well. However, I do not know what you are talking about when you say "2 places in the User CP".

Question: When adding classes, how does the system know what image to display for the class I enter. I saw noplace to include an image filename like I did when adding battle fields. This question also applies the the "add/edit elements" section as well.

Also, Can somebody please give me a screenshot of the Add a class area (one that has been filled out already) so I know I am doing it right? Also, one for the "Edit Alignment" area as well?

I have noticed that I have a broken image when dispaying a thread. It is right next to the "class" the user has selected, but the code says the following:

<img src="images/classes/mclasses/.gif" align="left" alt="Assassin" border="0">

Obviously, something is not right, it is not calling the name of the image properly.

ideas?

you forgot the gifs name.
you must out whatever it is like archer.gif you just have .gif

OK, there is a field that says "Folder". I did not understand this the mean "Folder and filename without the .gif".

Is anybody actually running this on their messageboard?

Can you please give me a url to look at so I can see this hack in place and working?

I'm no longer using this hack, but I think there is a folder with all the little sprites in it.

You upload your sprite to the folder, then when you add it, you put (thefoldername)/femalewarrior

notice no .gif extension in femalewarrior?

hope that helps

Why arent you using it anymore?
Anyway progress on the AI is going well shouldnt be long now :D

for sure bitsys i already double check come to my forum try battle you will see it

I'm not using it simply because of the fact this hack does have it's limitations. Don't get me wrong though, I think this hack is superb and so is the dedication and commitment Bytsis has shown - it simply doesn't apply to me ;)

Well fair enough.
And guys I am thinking of keeping the AI to myself.. I havent decided yet it is turning out so great just giving it away doesnt seem right :/
Updates to come

What I mean under 'Edit profile' there is Fields for the rpg under the main area and under the custom fields area. I'm doing this on my testboard so I know it works before I install it on my main board. I've tried it on 2 fresh installs also of 2.3.0

Wow that sounds really lame. Remember the reason you even get to add the AI.

Oricon, thanks for the info. I will check it out.

lioncool1589, your site looks awesome. I appreciate seeing the battle hack in place. This gives me hope that I can get it working.

chris what about posting how to mod the hack so that users can change their character?

I got a error when trying to donate to someone can anyone help me out. BTW everything else works so far
