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.

Ok, are there other DBTech Mods that integrate with VBCredits that can let me use this for virtual and physical items?

But I have some other problems:
1. When I run recalculate user account and use Calculate Event option, there is nothing happen after the process, means all users still stay 0 credits.

2. Second problem, when I transfer or adjust credits for a user, it won't work for user with utf-8 character for example: for username: L?ng Tử , I'll get error message: Invalid User Specified .

Is there a fix for those ?
Thanks,

I'm unable to replicate either of these issues

vBShop Pro can give you notifications when someone fills out the information of a custom item, but it's not designed for physical items either

I guess , you only see that problem in a non-English board . I saw someone asked that question here before from this link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=332
I don't see a solution for that question yet !

Is your forum's language set to a different charset than your database?

im using this plugin so i can use it with vbulletin raffles and for now i just want to use the feature of giving and taking users credits so once they are set to enter the raffle we can give them the credits they need

for some reason im only able to adjust my credits, i only want administrator to have access to adjust credits but when no usergroups are specified for the "adjust" action it works and lets people adjust credits but I don't want anyone to be able to do that. it just defeats the purpose of it

* it didnt let a regular member adjust credits just now, but it did let a moderator do it. how do I know who can or can't use these settings

I have exactly the same issue on my forum. Most users can receive donations, however there is one member of the forum and anytime anyone (including me, the Admin) tries to donate credits to him we receive the error message "Invalid User Specified". This user has only English alphabetical characters and one space in his username. I can't see anything different about his account, that would cause this issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I've removed the space from this member's username and donations work fine now. However, I'd still like to be able to make donations to members with spaces in their usernames.
