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.

Hey Dr-X

Bedankt voor uitleggen.

Ja, Bytsis helpt net aan mij.. hij vond 1 probleem in showthread.php.. oorzaak door vbhacker programma

[PSI|Dr-X]

Oow ok



Hey bytsis any idea for the updated version

[Bitsys]

Version 0.59 is done. The original post has the updated .zip file. An upgrade file and script is included in the "upgrade" folder. Please follow the instructions carefully, they have changed from last time.

New features:

• mr e was kind enough to make an element strength/weakness add-on. It allows you to specify a strength and a weakness element for each element. For example, you can say that Fire's weakness is Water, and that Water's weakness is Earth. In battle, if your Element is your opponent's weakness, then you will do 1.5 times the amount of damage normally done. However, if your Element is your opponent's strength, then you will only do .5 times the amount of damage normally done. Strengths and weaknesses can be set in the admin control panel.
• VeoMorphine was kind enough to make a bank/points moderator add-on. It allows moderators the ability to give money to users via their bank or their cash (money in pocket). Moderators can also take away money.
• VeoMorphine also made a mass points script that allows you to give numerous users different amounts of money using an input box in the admin cp.
• The battle formulas have been tweaked to reflect the new experience system.
• The whole level/experience system has been re-done and now has some nice features.
• In the admin control panel, you have the following options, related to the new experience system (found through the "Mass Experience" link in the admin cp):
• You can give all users the exact same amount of experience. The amount you specify will be added to the user's current experience.
• You can set all users' experience to the same amount. This can be used for resetting expereience or putting everyone ont he same level.
• You can reset all users' experience based on their post count. For example, if you want to set a user's experience to 10 times their number of posts, then use this script.
• You can do the same thing as above, except this script won't give a user experience if they have more experience than 10 times their number of posts. For example, let's say John has 300 experience and 40 posts. Then, if you choose to give 10 experience per post, then John will have 400 experience after this script is run. However, let's say Dave has 500 experience and 30 posts. If you decide to give 10 experience per post, then Dave's experience won't change, since 10 * 30 = 300 and is less than Dave's current experience of 500.
• User levels are now calculated in a single function located in admin/functions.php. You can adjust the formula there and it will be applied everywhere that the user level is calculated. The function name is "getlevel".
• When clicking on the link in the postbit that says "Not in battle.", you will be taken to the create new battle screen and the username of the poster in which the link was located will be automatically filled into the Opponent name field. There is no link if the poster is yourself, or if you are in battle.
• For those of you who want more information about how battles are processed, there is now a variable at the top of battle.php called "$battledebug". Setting this variable to 1 makes the battle print messages of variable values as they occur throughout the battle. Most of the variables have to do with one or two-handed weapons, since these are the most popular.
• The two opponents should now face each other while in battle.

Bug fixes:

• You can no longer buy items while in battle.
• Online.php should now display the correct locations. Not fully tested.
• Some other minor bugs.

As always, let me know if you have any problems or find any bugs/errors. Enjoy

I set all users to level 1 and all of them have stats 0 now :P
