Major Additions - Casino (w/ 10 player poker)

The Gameroom is the follow up to this, and expands on its features. This mod will no longer be supported, Gameroom is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219483

This is a casino addition for vBulletin, so far containing video poker, blackjack, Slots, a lottery, Let 'em Ride, Roulette and a betting pool.

It can use it's own cash as well as cash fields from other products for easy integration. Cash bonuses are also awarded for various actions (posting, starting threads, etc.), you can alter the bonus values through the admincp.

Each of the 10 games can be turned on or off through the control panel, and the casino can be restricted by user group.

I'd consider this a test run, everything should work, but some of the template's and all of the phrasing are not done yet.

Screenshots are attached.

If you want to see a demo, it's live at http://vbgaming.org, it does require registration though as it needs a userid to attach your money too Bug reports and requests can also be posted there, and will probably have less chance of getting buried in this rather massive thread. If you are having a problem, please look there. If it is one that others have been having, there will likely be a solution there (as well as in this thread, just harder to find here)

v 0.90 (Jan 6)
- Fixed a bug in lottery odds calculation that was casuing problems with the jackpot.
- Completed Phrasing of all games & admincp
- Removed card flicker some people experienced in Texas Hold'em
- Removed unused table limit setting from Video Poker settings
- Handled a DB error that occasionally came out of the slots game
- Sports Pool groups are now edited through the game, not the admincp
- Blackjack: Dealer checks for blackjack on A or 10
- Blackjack: Added Five card charlie rule
- Texas Hold'em: poker mod groups can now use the command "/kick username" to kick people out of the game. If a hand is in progress it counts as a forced fold, not returning their share of the pot.
- Blackjack - Fixed bug on bet amount when splitting more then once on a hand

v 0.91 (Jan 13)
- Added missing field for holdem mod groups to settings table
- Removed 0.90 test code of drawin same numbers in lottery
- Piped all the ajax files through casino.php, this should solve some of the conflicts people where having (ex. mkportal)
- Added missing link to add / edit groups in sports pool
- Fixed extra \'s in chatbox some users where getting
- Added a reset cash button in the ACP
- Fixed a bug where the blackjack_dealt table wasn't getting cleared properly
- Fixed "Most Lost" stat calculation


v 0.92 (Feb 18)
- Fixed Default Cash not saving
- Texas Hold'em no longer shows hand after folding
- Texas Hold'em buttons should not reappear after clicking if a request was in progress when they where clicked
- Fixed some of the reinstall issues people have been having

This is pretty minor, working on some major changes to the Texas Hold'em game that are taking longer then I planned due to other things coming up.

Known issues:
- The same player attempting to play more then one instance of the same game at the same time will cause errors.

To update overwrite all of the old files and import the product, revert any modified (casino) templates and don't forget the files in other folders Also some of the images have changed, those need uploaded again. (as well as the includes and admincp files) You DO NOT need to uninstall the previous version to upgrade, this will cause problems. Just overwrite existing files and import the product again, allowing overwrite.

**Make sure you overwrite ALL existing files and revert ALL casino templates**

I have disabled the casino plugin and now everything is back A ok ... but is there a fix?

Never heard that one before, don't have the problem on the 2 sites I have or my local development copy. Anyone else have this problem?

[towermatt]

Hasn't happened to me and I thought I had every weirdness known to man.

[RichieBoy67]

I'm sorry if I missed this but I didn't see any instructions referring to the seperate ajax file. Can soomeone please explain?

Thanks

[Andrew Green]

Not sure what the question is? What instructions for what?

[Black Tiger]

There is a seperate texasholdem_ajax.php file which can be downloaded, it's above the casino_060.zip file.
He would like to know what this file is for and what the instructions are to install it.

I've just installed 0.60, excellent job, here are my brief observations:

1) As has been mentioned already some sort of CSS class needs to be created for displaying text on the green background, as the results are variable depending on your colour scheme.

2) In Blackjack, Let Em Ride and Video Poker it would be good to have a fixed DEPTH to the table - as with the green background now present the jumping up and down of the background area dependant on its contents can make you dizzy! I think this could only really be done by putting some sort of long invisible table down one side to stretch it the required amount.

3) The IE Javascript error is still there in Video Poker and texas Holdem, though I think it is known that this wasn't fixed for 0.60.

I haven't tested Sportspool yet in the new version, I'll do that tomorrow.

I also think it might be an idea to build in some sort of "word wrap" for the casino chips...if like me you go right up to $1000 the row gets too long and can push the page out somewhat, especially if you have fixed-width options. Some sort of limit on chips per row like you get with smilies would be handy, but I suspect that's a bit tricky to code in.

[Code Monkey]

Very nice job indeed.

You should add this to slots_ajax.php so it doesn't cause an unknown location for the user and the other is obvious as to what it's for.

define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);
define('NOPMPOPUP', 1);

Also, a link/button back to the main page on all pages would be nice.

My whole forum was acting up today, after a bit of raking about I found the casino_settings was something like 85gb in the Repair / Optimize Tables bit. Wtf caused that? Note: I optimised it and the forum was a lot better.

[Andrew Green]

85gb? That table carries very little data and gets updates / deletes very infrequently, I went and checked all of mine and they all had no overhead (well, one had 108 bytes)

I honestly have no idea how that table could possibly build up that much overhead, it's a simple table that gets very few updates or deletes...
