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.

Ok everything works fine for me
I have it running on my forum now but the PP has no use until the Summons addon is out and how does the anger rise?

[Darkwaltz4]

lol--while fixing one thing, i break another ^_^
so im fixing that now -_-
pp healing is abled in the healing center--im surprised it wasnt set up in the first place

i also put up some little changes which u may or may not keep when i send u the files bitsys. like, itemshop turning off, and some display changes, lol
so...just be sure to check mosta it--if u havent already taken vb's advice, and gotten beyond compare2, its pretty useful ^_^

well...i unno about limit breaks O.o seems too not 'one-size-fits-all' which yeah, would require alot of db stuff....

but yeah, 4 big things im doing/done
summons
pp heal center
pp potions
shields

how long have u been workin on this hack?

[Moreliator]

The only problem I have occuring is in the RPG System Center (rpgcp.php)

Some users report that it is not displaying their stats.... all it has are a nuch of " 'S Stats" instead of the users name, and it doesn't display any of their character info. I had this happen to my account to, but all of a sudden it went away one time and never came back. Is tehre something with editing your character or having to buy an item that triggers the CP to display yuor characters pic and stats?

Heh, how do you think I made all of the upgrade files? I certainly couldn't have done it without Beyond Compare.

As far as I know, the only requirement is that you have to be logged in. However, I will look into this a little more to see if there is something else causing it.

People anger is reset when you update stats I think that should be changed!

Changed to what?

The way I see it is that if you grow a level, then your mental state changes enough that it is similar to gaining a new perspective on things. With this new perspective, your anger is now restored to its original state since the rest of your body/mind has changed also.

Anyhow, if you don't want it to change then you can take the code out of member.php. To do this,

find in member.php:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET ap='$apmodifier' WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]"); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

//$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET ap='$apmodifier' WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]"); 


That will leave their AP alone when they update their stats.

thnx and is there any way to make peoples stats update automaticly?
So they dont have to click update stats all the time??

[Vivi Ornitier]

It is possible. You have to put the update stats code from member.php into newreply.php and newthread.php.

Those columns are dynamic. They will only show up if the category needs them. To make it simpler for people who were upgrading, I chose to put the code for the columns inside the .php file, instead of in the template. I store the html for the columns inside a variable, and then the variable in the itemshop_tabletop template gets replaced with the appropriate code.

If you want to switch them around, then it will require some changes to itemshop.php. There are two parts that you need to change.

In itemshop.php, find:

PHP Code:

$levelcolumn = '<td bgcolor="{ categorybackcolor}" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont color="{ categoryfontcolor}"><b>MA Cost</b></normalfont></td><td bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont color="{ categoryfontcolor}"><b>Heal</b></normalfont></td><td bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont color="{ categoryfontcolor}"><b>Attack</b></normalfont></td>'.$levelcolumn; 


(I added extra spaces in front of categorybackcolor and categoryfontcolor so that vb.org wouldn't replaces them.)

And switch the columns around to however you want them. Remember what and how you switched them.

Then, in itemshop.php, find:

PHP Code:

$levelcolumnmid = '<td bgcolor="#1C5780" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont>'.$extrainfo[2].'</normalfont></td><td bgcolor="#1C5780" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont>'.iif($extrainfo[0], "Yes", "No").'</normalfont></td><td bgcolor="#1C5780" width="5%" align="center"><normalfont>'.iif($extrainfo[1], "Yes", "No").'</normalfont></td>'.$levelcolumnmid; 


And switch the variables around in the same way that you switch the other code.
