tagged for now, really nice mod.
Is forumon RPG just a battle system between members?I mean can I create a story that members go through?
moreover, how many maps can I show? only one or there is an option to add more or Night version of the same map
thanks in advance

Currently, it's Member vs AI only.

There's no extensive tools for story generation yet, but they will be added in a future version :)

There's currently only the one world map, but a night/day system is an interesting idea indeed :D

Fatal error: Call to a member function build_cache() on a non-object in /home/hoodlege/public_html/forums/forumon.php on line 211

thats the error i get when i try n go into it

Do you have vBShout installed? If not, please disable the vBShout Integration in vBulletin Options -> DragonByte Tech: Forumon - [DBTech] vBShout Integration Settings.

Fillip

yes i do have Vbshout installed...

What version of vBShout do you have installed? I think you're the first person to experience (or at least report) this problem.

At any rate, it can be fixed manually by doing this:
Go to DBTech - vBShout -> Instance Management -> Add New Instance.
Set the options as per this screenshot:
Attachment 123420

Then once you've saved, hover over the "Edit" link for this newly created instance and note down the Instance ID. So if the link is [yoursite]/admincp/vbshout.php?do=modifyinstance&instanceid=26 the instance id is 26.

Go to vBulletin Options -> DragonByte Tech: Forumon - [DBTech] vBShout Integration Settings and set the Instance ID setting to the number you found in the previous step, then click Save.

It will then be safe to re-enable the Integration.

Hope that helps :)

Ok ive nstalled everything got it up and running added species and everything...now wen i go into an area and click Hunt...the page jus loads but never goes to the Hunt page....

Also the shoutbox wont work for the RPG...i i disable theinstance then it works...but if i try to follow those directions above then turn t back on it wont allow me to i get the same error

Are you the same person who posted this to the Project Tools over at DBTech? If so, please don't post them across multiple sites.
If not, then it's been reported and I'm working with that person to figure out what happened :)

Hmm, that's really odd...
Are you able to PM me with an Admin account with "Can Administer Settings" and "Can Administer vBShout", as well as an FTP account? If so, I should be able to solve this for you :)


Fillip

Yes i am the one that posted it over there, the onlyreason i came here is because I couldnt navigate back to the section on your site where I posted it lol...I looked everywhere I know i posted it somewhere, so I jus came here and posted it up, as far as an admin account on my site I should be able to set you up...Do you know Enigma? he works with your company I think he is an administrator at my site

tagged for the time being, looks a very interesting mod to add...

Hey i was wondering if...we changed the body parts into maybe Human body parts...so our members can create human battle people...wt like a darth vader head or sum shit like that...is it possible?

Changing the stock images isn't supported, they're very carefully designed and configured to work together in unison to create the monster combinations.

Adding new ones might be possible, however due to the complex nature of the mod, a strong grasp of graphical design and a working knowledge of PHP is required.
Here's the explanation I gave someone else:

Look at the files in /dbtech/forumon/includes/monsters_config - they should tell you what you need to know.

The image files that the priority array reference is in /dbtech/forumon/images/monsters/parts

v1.0.4 has been released to fix all outstanding known issues.

To upgrade, follow the normal procedure when updating a product.

- DragonByte Tech Development Team

Pretty sure that I'll be adding this to our forums in the near future, just may wait for another update or two. Looks very similar to Pokemon in theory, so I'm sure it'll bring back some nostalgia for our members haha. Keep up the great work!

I had no idea you had one of these for vB3. I'll be sure to give it a whirl.

Games. More games. Must have more games....

Would be cool if instead of the AI you battled your members haha.

That will be a feature of a future version :)


Fillip

Will it be included in the Lite versions?

Too early to tell at this point in time :(


Fillip

:( indeed.

:)

And just to be sure, do the image directories that need to be CHMOD'd include any subdirectories they may have?

I didn't see this in the documentation anywhere, but I was wondering if the product is supposed to be disabled after installing it? I kept looking around for permissions and such, and forumadmin.php said it was active. It was just a fluke that I happened to notice it turned off in the Product Manager.

EDIT: How in the Sam Hill did you get the script to put a link in my navbar when I'm using a custom DHTML menu? That's astounding.

Don't think any of them have subdirs.

Nah that's an oversight, gonna update the zip now.


It must include one of the template hooks I'm using :p


Fillip

/monsters has a few subdirectories.

:)


Heh, for some reason, I thought I was no longer using tables or vbmenu_option in my navbar menu. I'm apparently confusing myself. Which is always entertaining. Even for me.

Ah, narp those aren't needed, just the main dir.

It's where images of player created monsters will be stored.


Lmao nice xD


Fillip

I get this error when i try to go to my panel admin of forumon :S

example :

i go : http://www.myweb.com/forumonadmin.php

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

help me D: !

Er, that usually just means you lost your internet connection.

Nope ^^ !

if i LOST MY CONECTION i dont be here -.- !

lol !

please somebody help me with this problem D: !

EDIT :

in the windows of firefox the translation is :

The connection has been reseted ...

Please try reinstalling it - this is not a problem anybody else has reported in the history of this mod.

Fillip

Oh, I see. You were at forumonadmin.php. You probably just put your files in the wrong place or they didn't upload properly.

yeah ..

well i try all ..

to erase for complete the files and re install but nothing :S !

Try disabling all other addons and see if the problem still occurs.

Fillip

Heyy, do you still plan on integrating user vs user? :D

I'm having a little trouble with forumonadmin.php since updating Info Panels and vBActivity. It seldom loads the style information the first time, usually just loading a white unstyled page of links. And after a refresh I get the page to load and then I get random errors, such as in different admin frames but always at the bottom.

Uploaded a hotfix for that error :)

Not much I can do about the stylesheet thing, though...


Fillip

Thanks for that. Er, I got another one. Sorry. :erm:

There's now an empty menu in the Forumon Admin CP, right between Species and Enemies.

Updated.

It was part of a small change that's meant to go in the next version :)


Fillip

Forumon v1.0.4 (Hotfix)

• Fixed a conflict issue with the CometChat Picture (ccpic.php) file.

Fillip

Does it support member vs member yet? :D
