Major Additions - Casino (w/ 10 player poker)

The Gameroom is the follow up to this, and expands on its features. This mod will no longer be supported, Gameroom is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219483

This is a casino addition for vBulletin, so far containing video poker, blackjack, Slots, a lottery, Let 'em Ride, Roulette and a betting pool.

It can use it's own cash as well as cash fields from other products for easy integration. Cash bonuses are also awarded for various actions (posting, starting threads, etc.), you can alter the bonus values through the admincp.

Each of the 10 games can be turned on or off through the control panel, and the casino can be restricted by user group.

I'd consider this a test run, everything should work, but some of the template's and all of the phrasing are not done yet.

Screenshots are attached.

If you want to see a demo, it's live at http://vbgaming.org, it does require registration though as it needs a userid to attach your money too Bug reports and requests can also be posted there, and will probably have less chance of getting buried in this rather massive thread. If you are having a problem, please look there. If it is one that others have been having, there will likely be a solution there (as well as in this thread, just harder to find here)

v 0.90 (Jan 6)
- Fixed a bug in lottery odds calculation that was casuing problems with the jackpot.
- Completed Phrasing of all games & admincp
- Removed card flicker some people experienced in Texas Hold'em
- Removed unused table limit setting from Video Poker settings
- Handled a DB error that occasionally came out of the slots game
- Sports Pool groups are now edited through the game, not the admincp
- Blackjack: Dealer checks for blackjack on A or 10
- Blackjack: Added Five card charlie rule
- Texas Hold'em: poker mod groups can now use the command "/kick username" to kick people out of the game. If a hand is in progress it counts as a forced fold, not returning their share of the pot.
- Blackjack - Fixed bug on bet amount when splitting more then once on a hand

v 0.91 (Jan 13)
- Added missing field for holdem mod groups to settings table
- Removed 0.90 test code of drawin same numbers in lottery
- Piped all the ajax files through casino.php, this should solve some of the conflicts people where having (ex. mkportal)
- Added missing link to add / edit groups in sports pool
- Fixed extra \'s in chatbox some users where getting
- Added a reset cash button in the ACP
- Fixed a bug where the blackjack_dealt table wasn't getting cleared properly
- Fixed "Most Lost" stat calculation


v 0.92 (Feb 18)
- Fixed Default Cash not saving
- Texas Hold'em no longer shows hand after folding
- Texas Hold'em buttons should not reappear after clicking if a request was in progress when they where clicked
- Fixed some of the reinstall issues people have been having

This is pretty minor, working on some major changes to the Texas Hold'em game that are taking longer then I planned due to other things coming up.

Known issues:
- The same player attempting to play more then one instance of the same game at the same time will cause errors.

To update overwrite all of the old files and import the product, revert any modified (casino) templates and don't forget the files in other folders Also some of the images have changed, those need uploaded again. (as well as the includes and admincp files) You DO NOT need to uninstall the previous version to upgrade, this will cause problems. Just overwrite existing files and import the product again, allowing overwrite.

**Make sure you overwrite ALL existing files and revert ALL casino templates**

On my site, I've had members complain that when playing Texas Hold Em, the winner doesn't always receive their winnings and in one game it even skipped the betting stage.

How can i display a "WHO IS PLAYING TEXAS HOLD EM" info box somewhere on my forums?

Edit the navbar template. Put this variable on the very last line: $inpoker

This is one of the best mods on my board yet, people are sure addicted to this. It gets the competition going between all the members.

Andrew, when will you have the next upgrade with the reset cash and all that completed. I gave up trying to figure that out, could not ever get it going but I get alot of requests to reset cash. About 10 at least per day. I even found some users come on under a different name, lol.

Theres a few requests I would like to add from people that are on my site and play on others:
1. A colum in the bottom like who's on line, who's playing texas holdem and there names
2. An area where members can just go into the game and be a spectator and view and chat only but not play
3. A option for a second game going
4. An option for each game being played for table limits, some guys wish to go all in.
5. An option for a Tourneyment.

These are just a few suggestions that were given to me from fellow members. You should see all the comotion this has brought on the site, theres a thread that just talks about the casino. This is a total hit

Thanks for all your work and attention on this.

A "reset cash" will never be part of the main code, I did put up a additional file to do it at vbgaming.org

1) Possibly, a lot of the Texas Hold'em stuff is being rewritten.. well really more of a reorganization / cleanup.

2) They can sort of do that, just don't get to see cards. But if your in and don't hit that ready button

3) Same as 1

4 / 5) My initial goal was to follow a limit game rules, which only allows bets of equal to, and double the big blind depending on the round. A no limit game is a little more complex, requiring a buy in and cash out, as well as being able to set bets. The big reason for the restructure is so that I can reuse most of the code for other rule variations.

pretty much wherever you like should work, if it doesn't you probably just have to change the hook location.

This is a great mod thank you!

I have VB 3.6.8 and casino 0.91
Last night we filled the texas holdem table to 10 players
it seemed like the game had a hard time dealing with the load
it kept booting players out every few seconds and at least 5 times
it booted the whole table. We also had instances of players never
getting a ready button and having to sit out of some hands.

[Andrew Green]

10 players means a lot of requests, I am looking at ways to reduce the number of queries, but you might also want to increase the timeout in the game settings, the game will have a little more lag with fewer people, but should let your server keep up a little better when it gets loaded.
