Are there any major flaws I should be aware of before installing this? Also, the forum system works?

1. Go to your ADMIN usergroup
2. Towards the bottom of the usergroup setting look for the "Conquest System Permissions"
3. Set "Can administer conquest system" to yes (for your admin account only!)
4. Once that is done visit yoursite.com/forum/conquest.php
5. Select a nation (you need to do this BEFORE you can see the admin options...)
6. Once complete you will see "Administration" options just below "Village Search"

If that doesn't work, please read the posts on page 16.

No major flaws. I am running this on a forum with 2,000+ members & nothing has gone wrong since. Works perfectly fine on the forum & fits all 3 of my skins.

thanks and best regards

I just wanted to confirm. Did my solution solve your issue?

Two suggestions:

More people keep joining one "nation" than the rest of my others. Can you set it so one nation can't have 5x the amount of people etc..

Why not display Gold/Troops for the other players villages in your nation? Seems like a fun thing to me.

This is definitely a great add on. Is anyone else experiencing problems with pagination on the nation forums? For example, trying to go to page 2 of your nation forum just refreshes page 1.

I would love the game to be more komplex. Like having more ressources or ways to train your Army and Upgrade your village.

/tapping foot... anxiously awaiting update... maybe if I hum it will go faster.

Take a moment to read a few pages back ^_-

A member was kind enough to release his fix for this.

Forum doesn't seem to be working, is this a known problem or my fault? Thanks.

This will probably seem like a retarded question to those who want a battle system, but I'm going to throw the idea out there and see what responses I get.
I was wondering whether or not this type of game mod could be turned into a kind of virtual Realm, a place where members could 'live' a virtual life as a character. As I read through this thread I came to the conclusion that it is just for war games really, so I guess my idea wont be finding good reception.
Could this type of game mod be turned into something like that, I don't want our members fighting each other, I want to create a kind of virtual 'World'.
I am no coder so would have no idea how to start making it into that, but I put this question to those who would know, could my idea come into fruition with this mod?

What errors are you getting?

You are the first person out of the 90 or so installs to say their forum isn't working. I assume you have done something a bit screwy =P

Personally I like this system because it's simple & doesn't consume to much resourced. Their was once a system called RPG Inferno that was basically what you are describing. It was a forum based RPG realm like system that users could "live" in. The issue for me was it required a private server to run with anything like 10-15 people =/

That's what I was initially looking for. I think you are looking for something like Legend of the Green Dragon integration, but that hasn't been done (I've looked)

The Conquest system is extremely popular on my site though, and I'm rather fond of it in it's current incarnation - although I am having pagination issues with my Nation Forums (can't view pages 2,3,4 etc of nation forums, even though the link is there)

If no one else is having this problem, it could be my VBSEO barking at the forum pagination somehow I guess.

Is this compatible with Vbulletin 3.7, I can't seem to find it anywhere.?

Thanks

Yes works with 3.7.x

Thank you for the % link Sugoi.

Anyone know why under 'Barrack's' I have receving a the message "Maximum Training Level Reached" for Offense?

Well, couldn't find the exploit as of yet. But i did add the error messages for selling to avoid confusion for members.

For the error messages go to conquest/functions_conquest_armory.php

on line 69 there's this sql:

Under it add:



Basically copied the same thing as he did in the buying spot. Should work like this :p

Oh, the forum doesn't work because I renamed conquest.php and when you click the button it goes to it. How ican i change this?

Also, if you have over a million defence 'Village Overview' doesnt work.

thank you , works great , marked as installed

Looking forward to the updates :)

Set your items much lower lol...

Thanks for your reply, I have heard of the RPG Inferno, was that the game mod that was riddled with security problems leading to peoples site being hacked?

This really isn't what I am looking for then, that is a shame, thanks for your reply.

The modification had no known security risks. The project has ended as the owner couldn't square away some of his issues. Sucks for me because I spent tons of money on all of their mods & now I can't use them anymore...

Yeah, either you get a PHP memory or timed out error, right?

How do you do that?

Not appearing in my navbar

Lighthazard, if it's not appearing on your navbar, it's becuase you have gotten rid of the hooks that will automatically add it into navbar.

either to have it added to the right side of the navbar add

after

that is if you had deleted it before, if this does not work, please follow the following step to add it.
to add it physically add:

name "Conquest" to whatever you want to name the system.

as for the placement, place it anywhere you want in the navbar between:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->

and

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

people usually add it after

---------------------------------------------------------------------

But as for me.. I found a slight problem, everything works flawless for me, only thing I have a problem with is that when I get the PM that I just got attacked, the URL tries to tell me that http://conquest.php/?do=village&pid=2 is the link to go to.. it should be my forumname and stuff before that, but does not show up, if I add in the forum url into the Admin CP controls, the PM's work fine, but the rest of the system dont work... help please?

Darkfire122333, do you or anyone else knows how to exclude yourself from the game? So, you don't take part no more?

Best and only way I think you can do that right now, is by removing yourself from in the MySQL tables.

Open MySQL and go to your vBulletin database, from there look for conquest_players when you find that, open it, look for your forum ID in the forumID column, and delete it. you will no longer be a part of the game.

- Sorry about the slow reply, was double and triple checking this :P

can i replace the soul calibur characters with mine?

Yes, you can rename them, add a new image by uploading your own image VIA "Admin Nations"

where it says "Upload New Nation Standard" all that means in lamans terms, "Upload New Image", so just direct to the new image on your computer, upload and refresh the page. the image is yours!

ok thanks

Installed on my 3.7 test board... and LOVE IT so far. Got a handful of users testing it out to get some input on it.

One thing I did notice... you spelled "receive" wrong in the default faction descriptions. Not a big deal, but being a grammar policeman I felt I had to point that out. :)

Question: Is there a minimum amount of factions the system requires?

Suggestion: Make the "How to Play" mandatory to read before the rest of the system is active. That way they don't jump right in and become confused.

Another Suggestion: Add a "how to get started" section to the "how to play" page.

Im not sure what is going on, I was attacked several times last night, then waking up and I had 42949667295 Gold. So I had to go into SQL and fix this. Then 2 hrs later the second player had the exact same amount of gold. Any one else had these issues?

Also when 5 or 6 armys gang up on an army they can kill it completly, right to 0 and then that player cannot play anymore or has to wait for some cash so they can recruit. All they do is work there way down there members so they all go above the 25% that I allowd. That can suck for the odd guy.

Oh, on my board there are 60 users, We have 10000 + Troops with 600000 defence on average.

Minimum factions - 2

and as for a maximum, i have gotten up to 10 to work fine :)

I have to agree with you on the make the how to play mandatory... Also an admin control panel would be nice too :D

This is a cool mod.

1. Would like to see a way to limit how many people can join a nation.

2. Would like the ability to remove inactive players.

Also the ability to remove nations.

Just installed the mod on my forum and the people love it :)
I love it too!
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but are there any plans on adding like a bribe feature.

Like player xx bribes player yy with xx amount of gold in order for him to join his nation or something like that :P

*possible bug?*

I just noticed when I view someone's village, it says their attacks and defends history... It says their name under enemy... shouldn't it be the person they attacked or defended against?
