Please note that limited support will be provided in this thread. Once my site is complete I will be transfering support over to their.

For the mean time, support will only be given to those that click Install.

Please do not PM me about this hack. Thanks!.

This hack is currently in BETA. Once I've recieve feedback from the community and bugs (if they exist) are fixed it will be updated.

thanks enigma! i got a site coming out soon and would like to add this

Your welcome :) Let me know how it performs for you.

Nice work, thank you!

why is it a lite version?

Because soon there will be a paid version with way more features. This is just a basic battle system.

This can work for Signature of the Week (Maybe integrated with an updated version of your SOTW Mod ;)) I don't understand how rap battles work on forums, but I can think of different ideas for this with battling. I think this is a cool idea. How many people can battle at once?

Currently it's just 1v1 right now. An integration with my SOTW mod is also a possibility :)

not something that i would use, but great idea.

This is almost perfect for what I'm looking to do with having member pictures vs member pictures! :D

Don't limit yourself to "rap" battle system. This could be a "battle system" with uses for rap vs rap or art vs art or pictures vs pictures, etc.

Will it work with 3.7?

Lots of potential here! Great job! :up:

*tagged*

The original idea was to use it for a 'Rap' battles but yes the lite version could be used for just about anything.

And yes I believe it works for 3.7

Can we change the word "battle" through phrases and all of that good stuff?

I'd have to "Disney-fy" it a bit for my site ;)

:O I forgot to phrase this. Oppsie :p. I'll have phrases in the next version for you :)

Oh, that would be great! Keep us posted! :up:

Dang... I really want to open a rap forum now :(

lol.

Glad to see this out. I just closed my hip hop site though...

hey i get an error 404 code when i click battle thread link or new bttle

Did you upload the newbattle.php file?

i am pretty sure i did, is there anyways i can pm u my website so u can go look to see what im talking about?

Go for it.

Also don't forget to click install ;)

ok i set "my text battles" as the battle thread

it has the new battle button

but when i click it, it doesnt load the page

it loads nothing

it brings up error 404

i really need your help

hella_smoke@hotmail.com

my aim is

ovadoz14


this battle system is genius

i jus need it to work lol

i even nominated as mod of the month cuz this thing is great

where dso i put the new battle php

Upload it to your forum root folder. It's normally /forums | /forum | /board
Something like that. It's the folder that has admincp, clientscript, modcp, includes, images etc

ok i did that, maybe i put the coding in wrong i am going to try it again

k here is the thing u said after

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" />
</a><else />&nbsp;</if>

to put

&nbsp;<if condition="$foruminfo[isbattleforum] == 1">
<a href="newbattle.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newbattle.gif" alt="$vbphrase[bs_startnew]" border="0" />
</a> </if>

but mine is a bit dif mine looks like this

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>

okkkkkkkkkkkk i got it

i got one more questionm tho

is there any way i can make take the "new battle" button away and make it work with the "new reply" button ????

how do i make it where the poll is set to a certain number

and the poll closes itself

These features aren't available in the LITE version.

Oh, cool deal EnIgMa! :up:

I hope to try this one out next week. Thanks!

i just noticed the Product install doesn't work for members with database prefixes

It can however be edited via notepad etc and then imported

Aka if you have a database prefix of VB_

you would edit each instance of

to
same goes for all the other tables forum, thread, user etc

also when i try to start a battle i get this

Sorry about that. Don't know how I left them out. I'll update it now.

Install Code is now fixed.

Could you give me a little more info? That error is given when the battle fails to post. What version of PHP and MySQL are you using? What modifications are you using that add functionality to threads etc.

as for that error i think its conflicting with another mod (i have about 50 installed) as for php and mysql the latest of both, just updated the other week

Could you try something for me? When you get that error, could you click back on your browser and click the submit button again? Let me know what happens.

I'll try this out today.

hey do i need to reinstall something?? since u updated something???

Reimport the product file => Allow Overwrite = Yes

And upload the files again.

still the same error, my guess its the old chatbot again, he doesn't get on well with things that like to autopost
