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**

Sorry im not a coder. i dont know what this means, but i would like to have this working in the postbit.

Thanks

If you HAVE NOT done the template edit that displays the users cash amount in the post bit area below the users number of posts, then you can do this. Hopefully, Andrew can include this plugin in his next release so that the template edit isn't required.

1. Download the attached plugin.
2. Goto AdminCP
3. In the left menu, near the bottom, expand the group called "Plugins & Settings"
4. Click "Adownload / Upload Plugins" link
5. At the bootom, under "Import Plugin Definitions XML File" click the Browse button and find the plugin that you downloaded from this post and click OK.
6. Click Import.

Now the users cash value should be displayed right after the number of posts in the postbit area.

Edit: oops.. i forgot the attachment.. here it is

Andrew, Everything is working great! I'd love to see an update that allows you to have different setters per usergroup. Like increased bonus amounts and table limits for a "premium group".

Thanks..

$scloud = new SearchCloud();
$scloud->handlePageHit();
$scloud->showCloud();
$vbsearchcloud = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Then I edited the search_cloud.php and changed the occurrences of $s there to $scloud (2 occurrences in teh _getURL() function)

They should work together now.

thanks for the fix

The existing games all "work" in the new environment. some need a little more testing and cosmetic stuff. The poker plays with no-limit, limit and pot limit rules, and has quite a few more options for game creation, which is now in the users hands (multiple games can be running at once), Uses avatars where available instead of card backs until the show down, can play with fixed stake and multipliers (ex everyone puts in $100, starts with $25,000)

It's getting there, but not finished yet.

Andrew,

Here's another plugin that could be added. This will add a "Casino" button the the navbar, just to the right of "User CP". Then there's no need to edit the navbar template for this.

I was also trying to do a plugin for the $inpoker variable, to get away from that edit, but couldn't get it to work right. I was trying to pop in where there's a variable for an advertisment below the navbar. oh well.. still have to edit navbar template for that one..

Cheers..
