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.

This is the first hack I've installed on the forum ^_^ It's my first attempt at installing a VB hack. I'm better with Vb3 XP

Thanks alot *checks page 152*

Edit: I'm gonna re-install it. I want vb. 2.2.9 I'm using vb 2.3.2 I think that's one of the problems.

[Telchar]

It works perfecty on 2.3.0, atleast for me.

I removed all the stats from my postbit, the only thing i've got there is: Gender, a link to the Rpg Stats and Donate..
Mainly did it coz my postbit was huge, but in the prosess i got a very nice postbit, imho, witch isn't to big..

Are you sure that DB Fix solves the problem? You should only have to run DB Fix when users are added in the admincp manually.

Potions must hace a buff assigned to them and must either heal MA or HP. If you haven't checked either of those checkboxes, then they will do nothing.

Find the userid of a user who doesn't get interest. Go to phpmyadmin. Browse the items_user table. Locate the row containing the information for the userid you recorded earlier. What is the value of the btime column?

Notice there is no password. There is suppose to be one, right?

Have you tried the $key to $key1 fix?

If you need any more info, I'd be glad to help.

Could you be a little more specific as to what file you are in and what kind of html input these "*"s are showing up in? Maybe a screenshot or link?

Still trying to figure out how he did it...
Beware... The word is out.

Please let me know if you find out anything else.

[QUOTE=Telchar]Don't think your member hacked into the bank account..
What hack version do you have?

We had the same problem at my boards a while ago, but we figured out how it was done:

The user deposit all his/her gil in the bank, then withdraws all his/her gil. The result should be that the users bank deposit is "0", but there was a bug.. The bug redeposited the same amount as the user withdrew, dubling the gil he/she has..

Is this still a bug? Did you fix it? I can't reproduce this bug.

You can see the problems for yourself here: http://www.latias.net

#1: The RPG fields appear in the required information AND the optional information. How do I fix that?

#3: The postbit doesn't update and the images don't have names when it trys to load them (it comes up as images/classes/mclasses/.gif)

#4: The postbit also displays the points as 0 for every user even if they have 2000. Basically the postbit is really screwed.

I'm sure theirs more errors, I followed the install instructions prefectly. Can someone please help? Or even if I reset it install it for me?

Yes, it does work now. Thanks. Sorry I didn't check that sooner.

Now a data base error I ran into. Dunno if it's been mentioned before.

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.9:

Invalid SQL: SELECT field6 FROM userfield WHERE userid='4'
mysql error: Unknown column 'field6' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

I tried to edit his RPG character but ran into this. Any fix?

Ran into another Database error. Again, dunno if it's been mentioned before.

Looks somewhat the same, but this happend when I attacked.

Oh yah, the Batte Arena Template needs some serious repair jobs. :s On the other hand I plan to make my own battle arena so no worries anyway. ^^;

EDIT Again: Oh, nevermind, had the window minimized. *feels stupid*

EDIT for like the 4th or 5th time. (I hate double posting. >_>; ): I figured out why I had "*" in every RPG Class. Only the admins were able to see it. ^^;; I needed to change the 0's to 1's. *feeling extra stupid* x_x;

Could you describe exactly what actions you are taking? What does the script do that it isn't supposed to do? Do you have a screenshot of any errors that it is giving you?

[NightWalk8r]

ok.......here's the situation, i kinda screwed up w/ the experience stuff -_-; (my fault)
but after i though about it i wanted to reset everything so that everyone will be equal.

After i pick the option to reset the experience and click on the Reset button, the page would just go blank and stays like that =(
no error or nothing either =/

TIA~

[NightWalk8r]

Hey, i got another problem.........it seems that the intergration hack doesnt work very well w/ the Lesane's Store. That's because when i enable that, i cant wager any money in battles =(

well.....maybe i did something wrong, if i did....that would be awesome!

Please let me know if it's the hack itself or just me

[Tri@de]

In the reset you have to check the first button to make the modfy work. Did you checked it?
