RPG Integration Hack /w Battle (BETA)

RPG Integration Hack BETA by Bitsys
(vBulletin versions 2.2.6?, 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0)

This hack combines several RPG hacks into one and adds a battle hack. The hacks included in this hack are:

• Zajako's Ultimate HP/MP Stats Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37720)
• Zajako's RPG Elements Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35318)
• Zajako's In battle hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42715)
• Zajako's RPname hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43651)
• DV class hack used with permission of J2K (aka the RPG Class Hack v3.3) ----- (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43558)
• Mewtwo's/Rake's Original Itemshop v5 -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=38090)

In addition to re-releasing thse hacks, I have added features to all of them (or else there would be no point in re-releasing).

• The RPG hacks are now all editable via the admin control panel.
• The itemshop has been somewhat optimized and some fixes are included that reduce queries in showthread.php and itemshop.php . Also, Lesane's Store Hack has been integrated with the Itemshop. This can be toggled in the admin cp.

This means that the RPG hacks are database driven and have been partially integrated with the Itemshop. This was necessary in order to make a battle hack, which is also included.

Since most people are familiar with the RPG and Itemshop hacks, I will give a brief description of the Battle hack. If you want more information about either of the other two hacks, then refer to their original posts or download the .zip file and read the "readme.txt". If you are a visual learner, then you can scroll down to the second post in this thread, which contains the pictures of all of these hacks.


Battle Features:

• The battle format is turn-based.
• HP, AP, PP, and MA are automatically deducted based on what action a user takes, the damage dealt to an opponent, etc.
• Opponents in battle can use spells, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, shields, potions, or their fists.
• A battle is over when a combatant dies, retreats, or there is a draw. Battles can also be ended via the admin control panel.
• A wager can be set on a battle. Whoever wins the battle recieves the amount of money as specified in the wager. Outside bets are not supported yet.
• Battles can be either public or private, as determined by the admin control panel. If private, battles require a password and battles can not be browsed. If public, then any user can view any battle, but only the original combatants can fight.
• The results of a battle can be posted into a designated "Battle" forum, as specified in the admin control panel.
• Inactive battles can be pruned.

Getting started with the battle hack:

• In order to get items to disply in the item shop, you must select which items go with which RPG Type in the "Edit Item Type" Menu of the admin cp.
• In order to assign which weapon categories do what kind of damage in battle, you must go to the "Edit Category" link located in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. Select a Battle type for the category and save changes.
• In order to do damage to your opponent when in battle, you must assign the amount of damage each weapon does in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. The default damage is set to 0. The same principle goes for armor, potions, spells, shields, etc.

Please refer to the screenshots or "readme.txt" for more information.


Why is this a BETA hack?

I have tested the installation of this hack on vBulletin versions 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0. However, because of the scale of this hack, there is plenty of room for errors. Therefore I am making the following disclaimer while this hack is in the BETA stage:


WARNINGS:

• Do not install this hack on a production board. Please keep this hack, while in the BETA stage, to a test board. The reason for not installing this on a production board is that I cannot provide upgrade instructions for going from one version of the beta hack to the next version of the beta hack. Also, this hack does not have an un-install script yet. So please remember, if you decide to install this on a production board, you are doing so at your own risk.
  
• Do not apply this hack if you already have ANY of the included hacks installed. Please refer to the list at the top to see if you have any of the conflicting hacks installed. Since I am asking that you install this on a test board right now, this should not be a problem since you can re-install a fresh copy of vBulletin in under 5 minutes, as a test board of course.
  
• There is currently no upgrade script for installing this over any of the included hacks. I will make one when this beta is completed.
  
• If you choose to install the postbit features, then an additional query will be added to showthread.php. This query is a SELECT COUNT(*) query and adds around .001 seconds to the page generation. If you don't like the idea of adding an additional query to showthread.php, then you have the option of not installing that part of the hack. See the install file for more information.

Miscellaneous:

The beta of this hack is free. The full/final release will also be free.

All installation instructions and credits are included in the attachment. If you find a bug or have problems, feel free to post them here and I will try to fix them. Please read the included readme file if you have questions. If you can't find the answer, then post your question here and I will answer it.

All hacks included in this hack have been re-released with permission of their original creators.

Screenshots are in the second post of this thread.


Installation:

Installation instructions are included in the .zip file.


ACKK! I NEED HELP!!!

If you are having trouble and need some help, please refer to the help documentation included in the .zip file. It is located in the "extra" directory.

If you need help and you have already installed the hack, make sure you check the RPG Manual link in the admin cp. Also, make sure you read the FAQ included with the manual.

MY THREADS STOPPED DISPLAYING CORRECTLY!!!
See if you are experiencing one of the following symptoms:

• All of my users are being labeled as "Guest" in the postbit template.
• No posts are showing up.
• None of the RPG variables will display in the postbit. The element/gender/class images are broken.
• I get database errors when I go to showthread.php

If you are experiencing one or more of the above problems, then your showthread.php file was not edited correctly by the installer. This problem usually occurs on boards with other hacks installed that modify the queries in showthread.php. Please go to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2261 and follow the instructions there.

Update 09/04/03 @ 1:46pm
v0.68c

Battle debug messages were accidentally left on.
Minor shield bug was fixed in battlefight.php (Thanks Telchar).

Re-upload battleupdate.php and battlefight.php.

The new .zip file is located at the bottom of this post.


Finally, here is the .zip file (v0.68c):

Hmmm nm now guys, i ran the install again and it worked this time

[roninuta]

The script is itemadmin.php located in the admin folder. Do the items default to Generic even after you set them to another value? Or are NEW items defaulting to Generic after you add them? What is the end result that you want the items to do, be Generic or something else?

If you look through itemadmin.php, you may be able to figure it out for yourself if you want to try that. [/B]

Thanks for the reply Bitsys!

When I setup an item (additem type and add item) I want to change the type defaults. Most items change over just fine to new types. Some of the items would remain generic and some should not be available to generic. When I set them to other types the new values do take and are inserted into the DB just fine - but the generic type stays even when de-selected. I will look through the script and see what I can find

These little figures etc, i got ones that are more Rap Suited, but they face forward. If i shrink em to the other ones sizes can i use em in this???

In the Battle table, the field battlekey is blank even though I set a password. If it helps I am running MySQL 3.23.41

in battlefight.php, find:

PHP Code:


If($battleopt[privacy] != 0 && $battle[battlekey] != $battlekey) {

                eval("dooutput("".gettemplate('battle_badroom')."");");
                exit;
                } 


and change it to:

PHP Code:

/*If($battleopt[privacy] != 0 && $battle[battlekey] != $battlekey) {

                eval("dooutput("".gettemplate('battle_badroom')."");");
                exit;
                }*/ 


That will temporarily fix the problem by disabling the password check. This means that battles will be open to everyone.

This did not work and I am still getting the same error. Invalid battle or password It is not populating a password in the database and the PMs send a link to /battlefight.php?action=enterbattle&battlenumber=23 &battlekey=

Public or private battle settings make no difference. I can manually start the battles in the CP by entering a password there or by setting the battle state to 1 and the rest of the battle works fine but without the automation of starting battles the battle system is useless. Any other suggestions?

in battle.php, change all $key to $key1

and in battle_newbattle (or something like it)...change key to key1..

this would fix it.

problem: somehow after the file battle.php include global.php, the key is lost. it will set back to blank.

i installed this hack by copy and paste (no vbhacker) and i have no problem...

I am having one issue. My boards run version 2.3.0 and I've tried installing this hack twice just to make sure. both times it installed successfully, but on each occasion, when I go to edit profile in the user CP, all the RPG info appears twice.....once under "required info." and again at the bottom under "additional info."

1) basically I am wondering why?

2) and which category is it supposed to be under?

3) and how can I fix it if it's not supposed to be this way?



See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/show...0143#post390143 about half way down.

thanks! This mostly worked except that RPG name is the only field still duplicated...I notice that $customfields must be the variable storing the information for "Biography", "location", "interests", "occupation", and "RPG name"....could you possibly know where the information for this variable is stored so I can edit it to remove the second instance of RPG name which occurs under "Required Information" in the User CP->edit profile? Thank you very much for your time Bitsys!

with regard to the error in newreply.php, I downloaded your file attachment (up a few posts ago) for newreply.php and then uploaded it to my web server and when I try to make a post reply I get:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/gloriou/public_html/rom/forums2/newreply.php on line 656

this only happens with the correctly edited newreply.php file, not the regular one that comes with VB 2.3.0 because I have tried both and I get that error with only the edited one.

maybe if I knew all the changes made to newreply.php that were done by vbhacker, I could isolate the problem?

any ideas on how to fix it?

edit:: ignore all of this post, it was an error with my Lesane Store Hack, I didn't correctly edit newreply.php with that hack!!!

sorry for wasting anyone's time!
