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):

[Bitsys]

gengar003:
The postbit refers to the postbit template. There is a template group called "Postbit Templates". When I refer to the "postbit template" I am talking about the template that is actually called "postbit" and is the first template located under the "Postbit Templates" group, in your global and/or default template set.

I cannot post instructions for integration with Lesane's store hack becuase my hack keeps getting minor changes that make in unfeasible to be updating two hacks. Also, there are changes that must be made to 5+ .php files, so it is more than a simple job. However, once my hack gets closer to release (I am writing the help documentation right now, after which I need to test the uninstall script) I will work on integrating it into Lesane's Store hack and then releasing that as a completely separate version. I cannot promise anything right now though.

Kaelon:
There is currently an uninstall-script in the works. However, I won't release it until it, too, is bug free As long as you keep reading this thread every now and then, you won't miss it.

[gengar003]

Okay, by now, I'm probably boring you all out of your minds with obvious questions, but I've got another one:

When I deposit money in the bank, it takes the money, but doesn't put it in the bank, it just makes it dissappear.

I understand what you're saying about the integration with the store hack, but could you just post an overview?

In addition, I think I read something about upgrading to newer versions of your hack... is it manual, or can u upgrade with vbhacker?

[Bitsys]

Are you sure the money doesn't appear in your bank account?

I can't post an overview right now, sorry.

Upgrading from one version of the beta to another is manual. However, 0.56 was the last major update. I don't anticipate any future ones to be very hard to upgrade.


BTW, here is a guide that DarkDraco07 created for the members of his forum. Thanks DarkDraco07!

-Start off by going to your User Control Panel. Then edit your profile. At the bottom of your profile there is a bunch of RPG settings such as your RPG chars name, gender, alignment, class, etc... Once u have finished this you click the update stats link. (Note: you will have to update your settings every time you level up). Also, when selecting your RPG options from the user cp, you must submit the options first, then go back to the edit profile menu and click the update stats link

-Now you go to the ItemShop. Purchase any item you wish. (Note: The Generic Items can be used by anyone, but all the rest of the items you can buy are based on your charector type) If your a warrior or whatever, you can purchase heavy armor and sword, if your a mage u can purchase spells and so forth. When you buy a potion, it can be used only once. Dont forget to update stats*

-When you are ready for battle you go to the Battle page. Click on new battle. Enter the game name and password and the person you want to fight. When you have finished this there will be a PM sent to the person you challenged telling him the game number and password. Once the opponent has agreed to fight, go back to the battle page and enter the game info and password, or if u want you can click on browse to view all the battles going on and click view on your battle to enter the battle (other people may watch)

-The the battle begins. The are option buttons (radio buttons) with the attacks you can use. All the greyed out attacks mean you dont have that. There will be attack with your weapon, use your fists, use a spell, use a potion, an option to give up and retreat. Pick one, enter a text message in the box if you want and click submit. For everytime that you miss, your AP (anger points) will rise. When your AP reaches 70-99, a check box will appear that says "are you angry yet?". This is the anger attack. Based on how much AP you have, you do more damage. (ex. if you have 80AP then if u check the anger box you will do 8% more damage). Then your AP drops to 0. If you have 100AP you will automatically do 10% more damage. Also if you are level 10+, you will do.1 more damage than you usually will.

-As many know these, ill say them again:
+HP(Hit Points) is your life, when it reaches 0, your dead.
+MA(Mystic Aura) is your magic, when it reaches 0, you cant use magic.
+PP(Power Points) is your power, it doesnt do anything yet.
+AP(Anger Points) is your anger, When it reaches 70-100 you do more damage.
(Note: after a battle, if you have died or lost MA, a moderator or admin has to refill your HP and MA)". Another way you can refill your HP is to make enough posts to gain a new level and then update your stats. When you update your stats after gaining a level, your stats are automatically refilled.)

-Also, all battles will be recorded under a new forum section. Thus giving you EXP for fighting.

So far that is how you battle.

Can someone help?

I think I found the problem. When you ran "install_itemshop_items.php", you chose NOT to install the default items, correct?

Hmm, this post is above the post I am responding to....something is not right.

For the timeout thing, use the fix I posted for assassingod at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...584#post332584

For some reason, I don't think your items_user database was correctly populated. If you have phpmyadmin, go into it and make sure that there is one row for each user on your site. Also, make sure that the battle_stats database is populated in the same way as the items_user database.

[assassingod]

I have 3 more problems:
I have 2 users I user, admin and user1.

admin can buy items. user1 cant - even though there is enough money.

admin cannot use items in battle.

The 3rd problem is there are some broken itemshop images.

Okay, there's only two rows in item_user, what do I do? Ditto for battle_stats...

I get this error when trying to run install_itemshop_items.
