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.

Both sides of the battle system have come to a grinding halt - everyone is broke.

In the next update, could we please get a gold allowance every 24 hours?

Right now it is a zero sum game. This will be changed in the next version.

Are you sure all the files were uploaded to their proper location? That would happen in the case of an incomplete upload. There were no changes in any vb versions that would cause such an error.

Is there any chance these updates can be done to work with 3.6.8.

My members are really interested in this system, but if it will only work fully in the next version and that will be for 3.7

If not i will have to uninstall this, as it's just not quite ready to work.

great idea though.

[RedeemedWarrior]

its a great hack, yet i agree the Gold per day feature would rock

[losedude]

Yep a Gold per day feature is needed, I'm using it on 3.7.1, but members are complaining that they can't get gold as everyone has already used it all :P.

Also i'm rather confused on how the recruitment link is supposed to work, my forum is small so other users had the idea of recruiting people that aren't on the forum, except that they don't get new soldiers even when they've reffered people as it goes "You need to register first", also members can also click on their link and get a new soldiers.. is that normal ?
Great mod otherwise.

Thanks.

[yahoooh]

i like the idea
i will wait untill the gold version release

[Sgt Pepper]

Installed,works great thanks this this. Just one thing when i created new races,then new weapons and so forth it came up with this really weird code up the top over my header and banner. To get rid of it all i did was put a new att_include in and it fixed it. thanks once again for this. I got 20+ weapons and i got also added a robot race,wizard race,soldier race and ninja race. Kepp up the good work m8

[losedude]

Hmm here's another bug.

You can spy with "0" spys. I sent 0 spys out and it worked :|.
