If you're using uCash or Petz, people start off with whatever they have. If using vCash, it starts at 500. Yes, people can lose all their "money", but there's a "charity" setting that gives 25 to anyone poorer than that whenever a new bet event is added, so people always have something to play with so they can build up a new pot.

try this:
- check the links to the JS files.
- view the source to see if there is something like this:
<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_72" src="/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> , check to see if it got something wrong with those tags.
hope this help

Can this be modded to use VB reputation points as the currency? That would be perfect for my board.

Yes, that's quite possible.

All you'd need to do is hack the functions_vbookie.php file, changing the 8 instances of 'vbookie_cash' to 'reputation'. That should be all you need to do. You might want to alter some of the phrases as well, as they mention 'cash' such as "You do not have enough cash to cover your bets" (vbookie_not_enough_cash) or "You have 300 cash" (vbookie_may_bet), etc.

Also, in the vBookie general settings, turn off the display of vCash in the postbit, as it'd be pointless to display. Since you're dealing with Reputation, you'd also want to turn off the "charity" mode I expect, as that would re-set anyone lower than 25 to a 25 Reputation each time a new Event is added.

Ok I have a small proble in the changes to the includes/init.php file you say to carry out these changes

OPEN includes/init.php

FIND
PHP Code:
REPLACE WITH
PHP Code:
Well I have the arcade installed and have 'arcadesettings' in that area to replace as well, and leaving it there gives me a parse error, i have tried moving it around and still get the error

Any ideas ?

You should end up with something like this:

As long as there's a comma after 'arcadesettings', it should be fine.

Thanks it's all sorted now and seems to be running fine, i just forgot the comma (stupid me)

This would be really great if there was a way to use paypal or another online bank so u could deposit real money....but i guess that would be gambling

As I said early in this thread, I'm sure it's possible for someone to hack in. I, however, wouldn't feel confident about doing a bulletproof, un-exploitable hack, so it's not for me.

i just fully installed this

but it dont show up so i can add an event

any idea

i did the fiel edits and uplaoded them
