About the Game
vBArmy is a game for vBulletin.

Each member begins their adventure by choosing a Race which had certain advantages over other races. They begin with a few soldiers and a bit of gold, and must build their army by fighting other players.

Players can buy weapons for their soldiers to increase their attack strength, and buy armor to increase their soldier's defense strength. However, each soldier can only use one weapon and one item of armor. Players can also upgrade their Defense and Offense to increase their defensive and offensive strengths by a percentage.

Players can browse through a list of participating players. They can conduct intelligence operations by sending Spies, which cost a set amount of gold to purchase. The more spies you send, the more accurate the intelligence you gather will be. Gathered intelligence gives you an estimate of the players total gold, offensive power, and defensive power.

If you choose to attack a player you must use "Turns." You only get a certain amount of turns every cycle set by the admin. The more turns you use, the more gold you will steal from your opponent. Be warned though, your opponent will know that you attacked them by viewing their Defense Log and being notified by pm.

Naturally it is important to grow your army. The only way to get soldiers in the game is to have your friends click your "Recruitment Link" They can only click it once every (admin set minutes), and each time they do you will receive an (admin set amount) of soldiers.

Please click Install, there will be a status notification upon the release of major updates.

13 April 2009 Updates:
This update fixes numerous bugs. If you have it already installed just upload the files located in upload over the old ones.

Looks worth installing and playing with. Nice job :)

looks cool, installing! :up:

Does integrated with vbcredits ?

Attilitus gave you premisson to port this? These new features were suppose to be a buy pro version from Attilitus.

marked..

Ok i uploaded the files and done the import of the the product file now what as the only setting i see in the admin panel are Admin userid & usergroupids admin.

I can not see how to set it up or am i missing somthing ? are there any instructions on how to play the game ?

BTW i have not marked as installed yet as only testing on our test site will mark as installed if we use it on our live site.

great ... easy to install :)

installed

If you would have checked the plugin itself on the forums, you would have noticed the big "ADMIN PANEL" ... Go to armysystem.php and check the left menu or go to armysystem_admin.php of where ever the file is located.

Lethal Geass, I love this plugin and I have it installed. Is it possible that weapons and defence/offence upgrades can be changed per class? That each class has its own weapons/upgrades? That would really rock! :D.

Oh, and rule/announcements would be awesome so you can add / edit your own text in the home base for example.

EDIT #2: Images for the weapons/defence items possible? Would be great, thanks.

Looks good , reserving

Cheers M8 found it i thought it would put somthing in the nav bar.
Thanks again 4 the help :)

what? I don't see the game either. Is it hidden somewhere?

You have to type in http://www.your_url/armysystem.php

Thats how i found it :)
I still have no clue how the system works tho as i dont seem to have any gold ect :) but i have only just started to look in to it.

TBH i think they assume eveyone knows how to install it and how the system works.

Doh! I should have known that, what? LOL! Thanks for that, lol!

you can gain the starting gold once you set up the settings located at yoursiteforumlink/armysystem_admin.php?do=editgamesettings <-, once you save these settings, regardless if already filled in for you, it'll have effect.

Currently, you start with 0 gold, 0 army, and the list goes on. Just go to that page, scroll down and click on "save" for the default settings to take effect (you don't have to edit anything if you wish to leave it with the games default settings). Then Reset everything and choose your class and you'll see you get the default gold, army, etc.

I gave you the PHP file names, so I did assumed you knew what i was talking about :p.

I give up, lol! Good luck.

I have the old version installed, can I just overwrite all the current files and update the product, or should I delete everything and start again?

Thanks :D

If you need any help, just ask.

Hi there,

I just install this game , looks good but really dont know what to do.

Ok one member just got 2 Recruitments , but still he/she has 0 gold .

And how we can change the default gold setting , means starting gold .

these are the probs am getting.

Thanks

i love it - i wil install later its useful for this

I've already answered that part in my above replies:

Wow... this is very nice... got it working great...

Just... the templates... my god... FUGLY, and so many uncached templates... This makes me worry. If a mod looks as unprofessional as this in presentation, it makes we wonder about the quality of the code behind the scenes. Any security risks I should be aware of?

same question

no not integrated with vbcredits at this point of time.

vbcredits integration would be nice. ++

btw, recruit links dont work in my installation. any1 having the same issue?

nice to know an update is out for this. I suppose my number 1 request would be to have the code 100% optimized, secured etc. and then I would love to see the new features after that.

my question is - why this mod was moved from 3.8.1 forum to 3.7?

looks nicee..deff gotta check this out

thxs a bunch!

Might not of uploaded all the files?

Great Modification, thanks. But i have to make some suggestions:
1. Would it be possible to use vb- Phrases, so that it would be easier for translation (if help is needed, i would try myself on a german translation)
2. I would prefer it, if there would be the Option to recieve Recruits with each cycle (set by the Admin)
3. Army training would be a good idea
4. A Highscore would be nice

Great, Testing

Can't modify member :(

At the moment all you can do is delete a particular user.

Any updates in mind? So far, this game needs:

1), Banking system, to store gold. And of course, you should be able to alter the tax %.
2), Better / Secure system for new players.
3), Vacation mode to prevent in being attacked
4), Option to disable / shutdown the PM feature.
5), Weapons and Defence in army to be different for all classes.
6), As 5, this includes for upgrades as well.
7), Able to edit's people complete information, including the soldiers, gold, etc.
8), It seems to be impossible to catch someone who's really far ahead. Wouldn't this be quite unfair?
9), Announcement place and or a page where you can set your own rules, information, tutorials, etc.

Great plugin btw! :D

looks a nice game, but do u think this would be nice for small forums with less than 100 members and less than 10-20 users (not regular users :p) online usually ?

I clicked Edit Game Settings then save but i still get no

Gold: 0

but i love the idea

You need to restart the game after saving game settings to get the initial gold.

this mod sound awsome.. I will try it right now...
