Major Additions - vBArmy - vBulletin Army System

This hack is currently still in its BETA stages. This hack was developed on a server running PHP5 and has not been checked for compatibility with PHP4. To my knowledge it uses no PHP5 specific functions. It is missing a few key features, which will be added in subsequent versions. Please post any bugs you encounter. The final version will be released for vBulletin 3.7.

Currently the following cannot be customized, but will be modified in future versions:

• Users start with 1000 gold.
• Users start with 20 turns.
• Users start with 5 spies.
• Users get 15 turns every 24 hours.
• Gold can only be obtained by battling other members.

About the Game

vBArmy is a game for vBulletin.

Each member begins their adventure by choosing a Race which had certain advantages over other races. They begin with a few soldiers and a bit of gold, and must build their army by fighting other players.

Players can buy weapons for their soldiers to increase their attack strength, and buy armor to increase their soldier's defense strength. However, each soldier can only use one weapon and one item of armor. Players can also upgrade their Defense and Offense to increase their defensive and offensive strengths by a percentage.

Players can browse through a list of participating players. They can conduct intelligence operations by sending Spies, which cost a set amount of gold to purchase. The more spies you send, the more accurate the intelligence you gather will be. Gathered intelligence gives you an estimate of the players total gold, offensive power, and defensive power.

If you choose to attack a player you must use "Turns." You only get a certain amount of turns every 24 hours. The more turns you use, the more gold you will steal from your opponent. Be warned though, your opponent will know that you attacked them by viewing their Defense Log.

Naturally it is important to grow your army. The only way to get soldiers in the game is to have your friends click your "Recruitment Link" They can only click it once every 24 hours, and each time they do you will recieve one soldier.

Please click Install, there will be a status notification upon the release of major updates.

That does pose a problem.

This hack is not phrased. I might add a language system. However, I doubt I will integrate it with vBulletin's phrase system... I'll probably just create a small system my own.

Thanks works on 3.7.1 as well :O

Any help will be appreciated.Thanks

Try deleting all .css files within the armysystem folder. It is possible that is causing a problem. Although I am not certain.

I deleted the only .css file within that folder but still no luck. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

Here is the problem. Your CSS stylesheet is not being imported correctly

<!-- CSS Stylesheet -->
<style type="text/css" id="vbulletin_css">
/**
* vBulletin 3.7.0 CSS
* Style: 'Version 3.0 TL!'; Style ID: 28
*/
@import url("http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-01388d6c-00028.css");
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_important.css?v=370" />
<style type="text/css" id="bbcode_css">
<!--
.bbcode {
font-size:11px;
color:blue;
}
// -->
</style>


<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

Note how the CSS urls are malformatted. This is the problem. It is not really related to my script.
Here is a quick fix that doesn't involve editting any files. Add a template replacement that replaces "http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/http://" with "http://"

Can you add something that will allows admin to delete accounts?

Works well, but this is a problem. especially when members want to change their race.

[Attilitus]

Yes, lack of admin functionality (especially user management) is a huge gap right now.

As a matter of fact, the only things which will be added in the next forseeable release are additions to the admin panel. Right now I am planning on adding a User Management tab and a General Settings tab.

Look forward to the new additions to the Admin panel, this would finish it off nicely.
