Major Additions - [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

Darkwaltz4 & DragonByte Technologies are proud to present the much anticipated and long awaited [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

Why [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe?

vBCredits II Deluxe is the evolution of the points hack that thousands of vBulletin owners have only been dreaming of. Completely rewritten to incorporate three years of requests and improvements, vBCredits II Deluxe is the pinnacle of simplicity and power for casual activity and serious ecommerce engines alike!

vBCredits II Deluxe is the most advanced and feature rich points system ever created. It is the only points system produced by the creator and coder of vBCredits v1-1.4 ? accept no substitutes from impostors.

Why vBCredits II Deluxe is an evolution of the typical points hack of the last decade

The typical points hack installs a standard column to your user table. You are stuck with it, but if you are lucky you can make it switch entirely to a different one.

While vBC2D installs a standard currency, you are free to remove it, and quickly integrate many third party currencies without any technical knowledge. The whole thing is made to be working with multiple currencies especially when they need to work together and the third parties didn't put in a way for that.

The typical points hack installs a couple actions with hardly any way to disable, modify, or add on to them. How they work is different every time.

vBC2D is built around a modular display and action system so actions come in standard formats with standard attributes. They are easy to break off or install more without bothering the main hack for updates. The standardization allows for global features to be available without the need for repeated coding, as well as exposing an API for third parties - all encouraging widespread support. It also means that no matter who made your third party actionset, the settings will automatically be consistent and support all features.

The typical points hack will just blindly add points to user accounts, leaving abuse wide open.

vBC2D records every single transaction and comes with many powerful anti fraud techniques to prevent abuse and limit their effectiveness. Not only are there several ways to qualify user actions, but also ways of obfuscating the system so it is difficult for users to come up with ways to game the system.

The typical points hack is only for earning.

vBC2D supports charging as well as earning for all actions, making the need for a companion shop optional.

The typical points hack is a cryptic mess of settings and math.

vBC2D has been organized in a linear fashion where all related items are in exactly one place. All options are fully explained and you are only ever shown what is relevant. Even advanced and uncommon settings will not be in your way - unless you specifically want to use them. The system holds your hand and it is easy to see exactly what your settings have done and quickly revert them if needed.

The typical points hack gets bloated once you've set up many options.

vBC2D was written in a way to be scalable yet maintain all of its features. A careful watch over database and code was kept to ensure the least amount of impact at all times. So far three big boards have used vBC2D for several months and reported no change in their performance.

The typical points hack is just the same old thing every few months.

vBCredits 1 was the typical points hack, and I had three years of customer support and requests to know what works and what didn't, and what everyone had wished points hacks would do but it just wasn't happening. Finally, vBC2D was written from the ground up and every single request was included in a unified, ultimate package.

Is there a way to give all member credits at once?

[zapiy]

Anyone have any advice on this?

Try editing the display by clicking the title, setting it to disabled there, and saving it. (sorry the summary page might be missing the handling code on accident)

Members have posted and made the money and its shown in their postbit but how does the Admin can make the payout transaction onto their accounts.

Looking for a solution, anybody can help ??

There isnt much that can really be done automatically; you can actually accomplish most of what the best scenario involves by merely publishing your cashout rates and instructing users to issue credit transfers to your account with their paypal address as the comment.

and deduct points is that user's ad is shown on another user's site?

That is not currently available from me, but there is an API someone can use if you want to have someone implement it.

I have already made it that the area does not increase post counts but now I need it for the credits. It is for a spamboard area.
Thanks

In your post/thread events, you can specify the forums that it applies to. Select everything except the excluded forums.

In ACP > vBC > Recalculate User Accounts you can find a set of users that you want to update, and change their totals as you wish along the side and save them all at once.

If you want to recount users, Open the advanced options and Select the timespan from prior to installation and all of the actions that have defined events. Select yes for calculate events and no for prune existing transactions.

This thread has a better explanation: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f62/r...-credits-1599/

Follow like the above. The ability to just write up a formula (like "+25") is a pro feature.

[FusterCluck]

This is compatible with 4.1.7 correct?

[Darkwaltz4]

Should be (we are using it on such without issue)

[Ikkyy]

Hello, how can I reset all the credit?

Something is wrong in calculating, always appears strange values​​.

Just let the event scoring by topic and message.

The prune command, resetting the log is only the score remains the same and accumulates.

How can I do to reset the credits directly in phpmyadmin

Sorry about my english.

How does this differ from the VBCredits from VBCredits.com?

We are finally upgrading from VB 3.86 to VB 4+ and need to know if this is the same plugin and if so, will you be supporting it for long?

Thank you.

I recently purchased the pro version and set up our own currency. I tried to do a test transfer to another user and get the error message below.

"Could not complete transfer"

Why is this happening and how can we resolve this?

I am running VB 4.1.7

[M A T]
