After my rantings in the other thread about people posting my codes, I've decided to forget everything that happen and post my version of the EXP/HP/MP hack. Most people will not need this hack because it will only apply to gaming forums; specifically RPG forums.

This hack works in such a way that:

HP drops and rises according to the members activeness.
MP determins how long a user has been with the forums, and how active they are.
EXP determins how close a user is to reaching the next level.

EDIT: To prevent non-legit vb owners from installing this hack, I have removed it from this post. Instead, just scroll down to Neo's post in this thread and download the file.

Nice Hack!

Thanks for sharing.

I don't seems to be able to see the Exp calculations included
and do I need to include the level too?

Pls help.

im not worthy, im not worthy, im scum, i suck,

i own a role playing forum, thank you so much this will really help me out;)


thanks again for this, here is the zip file i made for it, with the images.

UOSaint, the EXP would be calculated in the variable $EP. And yes, you need to use my levels code because all the other parts requires the $levels variable.

Edit:
but if you mean that if you should add each and every level in by hand, no you shouldn't. This code should create the levels automatically.

cool thanks

Yes, we've all seen that code before. But the problem with that is that you have to type in every levels by hand and also, the EXP will eventually surpass 100%

I've made mines so that when the exp reaches 100%, you would "level up" and the EXP starts all over.

Edit: Also in my version, I've included an HP bonus multiplyer for those who greatly exceeds the 10 post per day average. This way, it's impossible for people with the same level to get the same stats

I dont know how this code got out, I havent posted it anywhere, anyhow I just had to post it, I will do a mod to your code, your is well written, I just didnt think, was going for that admin could set its own vars the way he/she wants them displayed.

Was thinking about costum administration.

same thing with my stars hack, its edited by hand for full control, and well sames a hell of a time when upgrading to new version of the forum.

make stars.php

insert and call it by where ever you want it, include('./stars.php'); in any .php file

modify the code as much as you want.
i never added in a custom admin or cutom mod stats
because i treat all my members the same way.

the reason why i'm willing to give up my hack is
because i'm currently expanding it myself.
soon, people will be able to use their mp to "heal"
themselves and other members. afterwards, i'm
creating a money system where members are
awarded cash for allowances and for completing
quests. this money can be used to buy upgrades
in amor and weapons in the local shops in the Role
Playing Forums.

Can you share just the healing code pls?

nope :p
i'm keeping my RPG forums one step above the rest

This is great, but you may want to add a

to the end of the postbits template part other wise you will have really screwed up frames.

:P

Damn..

That MAxHP thingy is some code..

Never could have guessed that ! :D

Cool, care to shair it with me, i have some cool hacks too that are not released to public, : )

Email me sometime webmaster@hololith.com

DNS move, server might be down for 2 days till mail works.

Thanks alot for the code avalon/knoman...:D

I've made a complete zip version of this hack, for 2.0.3. :)

did you see the zip version i made on the first page;)

hey i was think for this hack, since i run on a role playing that there could be a stats under the levels, it would be a small pop up and would contain strength, magic power, speed, evade, stamana, hit rating, you know things like that. i think it would be a nice add to it

I've actually did something like that... but I thought no one would really care for it. So, I scapped it.

:) now i have to choose between 3 stats hack.. they all seem soo good.

I got this installed fine on 2.0.3.

Thanks, this is a great hack :)

Installed it a couple hours ago. Nice hack. *bows down to AllSquare*

Your contribution is greatly appreciated upon us. :p

thank you kindly....btw

YOUR FORUMS LOOK SWEET!

hmm well if you ever have the need to make more stats for the rp thing just give me a pm or such , i am really interested

hey i was kind of thinking of something that would use a dice roller or random out put generator to make a like battle / train function. something that when you click on it it goes through the process and then if you get 6,7 you get a more exp 8,9 a level update and a 10 some kind of thing .. and so one for negative. i think it would be a really nice add to a role playing site

Does this work with 2.2.0?

it sure does

Yo knoman.. Anyway you can make this appear in the user's Profile? I tried once but I got all "-INF" around, so it obviously didn't worked but yet responded.

you would have to edit the members.php file... exactly where? i'm not so sure.

Is it possible to change the bar graphics?

to what? you can change the look of the graphic bars by editing the bar images

k Im just asking.

But this hack seriously butchered the look of my test forum, see attatchment. Guess I gotta get my feet wet and play with the code. :)

I got it working on 2.2.0 just after I asked, heh.What would be cool is if you could hack the memberlist so that you could sort by level. Everyone at my forum loves this hack Knoman, thanks alot man :)

I changed the bar graphics to some a little less..bright. Feel free to use these if you like

Did you close the table in the postbit template edit?

I just copied and pasted. I have no idea what else to do. good thing its installed on my test forums. :)

is there a way that i can make this a pop up or go to a different page? like have a link under the post count that says view user stats?

and X put a </table> at the end of the code then it should work;)

sweet thanks a lot :)

Is there a way that I can make the font smaller, and use Arial instead?

just another random thought, since you run off a FF rp borad Knoman you could have a Limit Bar, something that if you get over lets say 50 post the limit bar goes all the way up.. hmm... i am trying to make something like that.
