RPG Integration Hack v3
 

RPG Integration Hack v3

RPG Integration Hack (RPG hack for short) v3 is the latest version of the wBB convert of Bitsys' hack with the same name. For those that are unfamiliar with any of what I mentioned above, heres a quick rundown of what this hack is and does.
The RPG hack adds a whole new level of fun to a forum, by allowing uses to duke it out in a fierce battle. Use items to turn the tide of the battle, or use powerful spells to bring down an opponent. Or you can just rely on the good old sword to cut your enemy down to size!
Create or join a clan to amass an army and conquer the boards.
Patch yourself up after a hard battle.
Feeling lucky? Go bet on the lottery!

No RPG forum should be without. Administrator controls every single aspect of how the hack works, right down to every item and an user's level/stat gains.



Requirements/Limitations:
You NEED the uCS hack (uCash & uShop) installed for this hack to work.


Included there is a Features List, which contains a basic lowdown on the current features, so no need for me to list them all here. ;)

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Due to the Edit Thread Title time has run out, I will use the last number in the Mod Version to indicate Beta and/or Minor build number. I will also indicate what the current version is in the Post Title.


IMPORTANT NOTICE #2!
The way the RPG Stats are calculated changed radically for this version.
Your settings will most likely not work as you expect.
Please enter your AdminCP, then Edit Options under Battle, and change the Modifier to something else.
Recommended values:

• Power level modifier = 2.5
• HP Modifier = 15
• MP Modifier = 1
• PP Modifier = 0.5

The future
I am currently working on v4 of this hack, as revealed in my signature. I have chosen to brand it v4 because it will be a major recode of the core functions of this hack. Not only will it contain all the features listed in the Feature Suggestions thread corresponding to this version, but it will (as the next major vB) be more OOP oriented. If this doesn't make sense to you, then don't worry. For you, the end-user, this will only mean a faster and more feature packed RPG Integration Hack.
I have chosen to set its ETA that far off into the future because I personally have a problem with deadlines for coding projects, especially one as expansive as this. Secondly, it would only be worse if I set it to "Summer 2005" and then fail to deliver, or have to deliver a half-finished, half-featured product. I have every reason to believe I will be able to keep this deadline, because so far, the development is going great.
This version will also contain majorly tweaked templates, as I have recently severely improved my template skills.

The announcement of this development means that with each proceeding file, my ability to provide support for v3 of this file will be lessened. So I suggest you go find those last bugs ASAP ;)
If the onslaught of bugs that are still to be found proves to be larger than what I expect, I will make a "middle-release" branded 3.5, which would contain no new features.
How this plays out, is yet to be seen.



What's new in v3?

• Settings moved to $vboptions for query efficiency
• Multiple exploits in heal.php fixed
• Multiple exploits in Battle Arena fixed
• Advanced installer, capable of:
  • Preserving even your carefully tuned settings into the new version
  • Automatically insert phrases and templates from an .xml file
  • Repair certain parts of your installation (Query Repair currently not working)
  • Examine your version info, and detect if you can upgrade your version (does NOT include any "call home" functions - feel free to check all you want)
  • Uninstall everything concerning databases, NO trace of the hack will remain.
• Query load SEVERELY reduced, especially in showthread.php
• Stat calculations revamped, they are way more fair to newbies now
• And probably something else I forgot at the moment.

Changelog


For support, please visit the RPG Integration Hack Support Forums
All support queries in this thread will be ignored by me.

This hack has been working great on 3.0.3 and 3.0.4
Just upgraded to vbulletin 3.0.5 and have now started getting this error :-
I've checked and re-checked all the file edits & all are correct.

This is not the support thread.
I will also add a FAQ entry for this error.

where do we go for support?

i cant get the battleinstall.php to run and also not all users have the stats and stuff under thier name in thier post

can someone atleast point me in the right direction please

very nice hack by the way.... ty

Any news on an update for the above bug ?

If people would check its supportforum, under the Premium Modifications forum, they would see this bug has been added to the FAQ listings just as I said.

Might be a good idea to tell we mere mortals which file edit needs to be ammended to 'make it go away' ;)

SPELLS STILL DO NOT WORK

I added a spell category, added some spells, gave each a buff, and they still do not work.

I gave buffs to potions and those still do not work.

I have reached the conclusion that this hack does not work.

You are also no help. All I ever get is "it works for us, you're doing something wrong" when I am NOT doing anything wrong. The hack just does not work.

Also if you try to wager more money than your opponent has, you lose that money.

I'm going to be uninstalling this hack.

what support forum? this is the only thread about this hack.

Good Mod I still love it

v3 Beta 1 is released :)

You ARE doing somthing wrong. They all work for me.
Post about this in the support forum linked in the first post and i will help you there.

Sweeeet.

I thought this mod was dead.

Too many errors in too many places .. instructions need updating to advise which old code needs deleting in ALL files, not just the profile.php .. If deleting all code in profile, how does member update info ?

First of all, errors are to be expected in a Beta version. I stated this thoroughly in the first post, I also stated why I released this here and not in Beta forums.
Second, I feel the instructions are (finally) completely up to date, because the Upgrade instructions states to redo all edits mentioned in the Install readme. This will update all coding to get it working. Provided the user is smart enough to understand that the previous coding is to be replaced...
And we update stats in the headquarters.php, as per the new USERCP_SHELL edit to link to this page.

As Revan mentions this code is in beta still. There's alot being moved and switched around :)

And the general rule of thumb for doing a modification this size is to wait a day or two after it comes out before you install it if you want to avoid alot of minor bugs.

Myself, I like to help out with the lil bugs and get those buggers squashed ;), so I uploaded asap and sorted through them :)

Revan - Awesome work man, my users are absolutely loving it and sheer number of settings from classes to backgrounds to items to midi files allows us to make this hack work just how we want :)

Totally appreciate your work!

What's the diff between this and the other rpg hack?

The two are developed by different people, for one :p
But the main difference is that this hack will ALWAYS be free, no matter how many features I add into it that would qualify the hack as a paid mod.
As for the feature aspect, Inferno has the advantage due to its development starting sooner than this mod, but in the future, this hack will at least rival Inferno in features :)

Revan when do you think full version will be ready cause i'm still holding to upgrade as this is a beta version.

The full version will be ready as soon as I complete the Monster Arena, release a beta with this to weed out its bugs, then after approx 3-5 days without any non-bogus bug reports :p

Pretty cool stuff, been lurking this hack for some time, looking forward to it. :squareeyed:

*Waits anxiously for v.3.1.0 final*

Revan, the monster arena sounds awesome
