This modification will allow your members to RSVP to events on the vBulletin calendar. By default, members can respond "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," as to whether or not they will be able to attend an event, but you can modify or add to the list of responses members are presented with as you desire.
Features
Specify some or all of your calendars to use the RSVP system.
Set whether an event accepts RSVPs during event creation / edit.
Allow members to specify if they will be bringing a guest.
Event owners can set the maximum number of guests each member may bring.
Events can be set to close RSVPs on the day of the event or before.
RSVP comments (up to 65k character limit, configurable)
Timestamped RSVPs
Moderators and event owners can remove member RSVPs from events.
Attendance list can be set to display member avatars.
Improved handling of differing timezones and daylight saving times.
Configurable Response options. You aren't stuck with Yes, No, Maybe. You can setup whatever responses you want.
Ability to specify a maximum number of attendees for an event. After the maximum is reached, you can configure members to either receive an error or have their response (RSVP) automatically changed to something else. This could be used to create a wait-list bucket, for instance.
Requirements
vBulletin v4.0.0 or higher.

Is there any reason why this mod can't change so that the standard VB templates do not have to be modified?
I just hate having to merge VB templates and am curious as to whether those merges could be avoided?
sorry for another question
do you know any mod that has the features i am looking for?
Sorry, no. I think there was some older stuff from 3.5 that did it, but I don't know of anything for 4.0+.

{rsvp:var rsvp.comment}
No, because there are no template hooks in the calendar templates. Nothing has really been done to the calendar in ages, because it's not a very widely used feature compared to the rest of the system. Feel free to post a feature request issue at the tracker, but don't expect them to accept the request.
Can it be done without template hooks? Yes... But it isn't a very efficient or even a good idea. I won't really get into the details - but since you're asking I'm assuming you're not a developer, and it's something you'd need a developer for.
this was working fine but now all the sudden when you try to rsvp to anything it gives this error
The response you gave to this event was not in the list of valid responses. Please contact the forum administrator if you believe you have received this message in error.
For instance in the above version, you can have more than Yes, No, Maybe (Yes I know your mod support this too) AND you can say how many 'slots' are available for each option. You can also save multiple preset templates for users to choose from when they make a new event.
So for example you can have:
Team Alpha (5 slots)
Team Bravo (5 slots)
Team Charlie (8 slots)
