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.

Or can you open the bank service when i select "yes"?

If all you want is a one-time script that converts all bank money into lesane's store points, then I can make one for you real quick. Let me know if this is what you need.

[SpyGuy007]

I definitely need it!

Oh, and jeremy, there is a bank hack for Lesane's Store hack. As far as I know, it should work along with this hack.

[jeremy]

Yes,a one-time script will solve my problem.

And I need it.

thank SpyGuy007 & Bitsys

Ok, I'm going to try and install this over the weekend, and I have a few questions:

1) how stable is .60, is it close enough to where I can install it on the test board and *should* expect minimal issues? I'm referring to the database fix on the previous page, was that added to the release?

2) The win/loss issue, I didn't see if there was a resolution.

3) this is a vbhacker release only? no manual file as well?

I figure I'll find out a few answers before you get a chance to reply, wish me luck

[Bitsys]

SpyGuy007 and jeremy:

The script for converting bank money and money in pocket to Lesane's Store Points at a one to one ratio is attached to this post. Upload the file to your admin directoy and execute it. The script will go through each user and convert the money. Make sure you don't run the script more than once. If you do, then user's will get twice as much money as they are supposed to get, since each time you run it it converts the Itemshop money into Lesane's Points without subtracting from the Itemshop money.

heretic:

1) Version 0.60 is a lot more stable than the other version. However, there is always the possibility that you will get errors. On a test board, the install is usually flawless. I am not sure as to which database fix you are referring to. However, the fix I posted for Kurayami will be in the next version, just in case something goes wrong during the installation. I hope to release version 0.61 today, so it might be better if you wait for that version.

2) No resolution yet. The fix will be in the next version.

3) You have two options: (1) Let vbhacker do all of the hacking or (2) Let vbhacker make a text file that tells you how to install the hack manually. To generate the text file using vbhacker, from the main page click on the hack you want to install and at the bottom select "Generate a text file" instead of "Install". Then click continue.

Bitsys, I did everything, and added the postbit sample, as well as the showthread edit, however I'm getting this when viewing threads, must be somewhere in the showthread.php file:

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.9:

In one of the showthread edits, you must find and add the same piece of code twice. Go through showthread.php and find the code twice and add it once per instance. If you used vbhacker, did you get any errors?

[heretic]

ok, I found that this

attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,attachment.visible AS attachmentvisible,attachment.counter,

had not been changed twice to this

user.ma AS uma,user.hp AS uhp,user.pp AS upp,user.ap AS uap,items_options.pointfield,items_options.lesanestore,battle_options.namefield,battle_options.exprate,battle_options.privacy AS battleprivacy,items_user.*,battle_stats.*,rpg_race.name AS rpgracename,rpg_race.alignment AS rpgalignmentname,rpg_classf.name AS fclassname,
        rpg_classf.folder AS fclassfolder,rpg_classm.name AS mclassname,rpg_classm.folder AS mclassfolder,rpg_element.name AS elename

hopefully this'll work

Version 0.61 is done, see the first post for the new .zip file. It has some interesting changes. The upgrade instructions are included in the .zip file and are located in the "upgrade" directory.

New features:

• Battle formulas have changed. When using your fists, you do less damage than before, and there is a random factor added that is plus or minus 15% of the total damage. When using a weapon, there is now a plus or minus 25% damage factored in.
• Attack Spells now cost a minimum of 5 MA to cast.
• Healing Spells now cost 0.1 MA per HP healed (amount healed is determined by the buff of the item).
• You can now update all users' stats at one time from the admin control panel. You can also update one user's stats from the edit users menu. NOTE: If you have changed the update stats code in member.php, then you must also change the update stats code in rpgadmin.php in the same way, or else you could get unexpected results.
• You can now adjust how much it costs to heal per HP and per MA. Setting this to 0 will make healing free.
• You can now set how much HP, MA, and PP users get per level. Before, the amount per level of HP was 75, I would recommend setting it to somewhere between 20 and 50. Please experiement with this to determine the best number for your board.
• The itemshop now won't let you buy a weapons if you already own it.

There may have been some more small things that I forgot to mention. You may or may not notice them.

Bugs fixed (I hope):

• Winners and losers of battle should now get the correct win/loss status as well as the wager if they won.
• When cancelling/declining a battle, users are now refunded their money and are not given credit for a battle.
• The links in the postbit that generate a pop-up will no longer scroll to the top of the page before displaying. If you have the links in your postbit already, then open the sample potbit text file and copy and paste just the links with javascript in them.
• Fixed the level 1 users could not buy itemshop items that were at level 1 or 0 bug.
• Some other minor bugs.

As always, let me know if you find any bugs.
