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.

nice hack! but its buggy for starting, as pointed before need more admin controls. eg: resetting the game etc also even when your number of spies and turns to attack = 0 u can still send spies and attack by typing 0, and cant delete members nor leave races

[edit]

Nvm we fixed the 0 problem by editing the php ^^ look forward to final version

There needs to be a way for people to get gold and a way to invest gold to get a higher generation.

Ie invest 1000 gold and you'll get a regen of 100gold every 12 hours.. Or something like that. Then invest 4000 and you get a regen of 300 gold every 12 hours etc.

Also New players should have some sort of protection, I had complaints of new players, who start off with 1000 gold, get raided before they can use their gold, therefore they get stuck and can't do anything.

Well I already pointed out the bug that the admin of Sakurahana pointed out. Well the game needs some improving, but it's still a BETA, so yeah ;D.

I would be installing this mod right now if it were not for the gold problem.

I want a version where we can select an external gold or "Points" system. How great would it be to have your points count as your gold in the game? I have vbCredits and we call it Cali Cash on my forum. It would be great for them to be able to use that as there Gold instead. You know?

What does everyone else think? That just makes the whole forum in general worth just that much more. People will become more active in posting and starting new topics to gain more credits or gold, which ever you want to call it, so they can do more things in the game.

Can we get it set up like this? Atleast have the option to go the way we want it to? External or the regular way?

Can I get some feedback from the maker of this mod?

That feature will be put into a paid version of this mod.

Just as an update. Given the limitations preventing me from developing this modification to its full potential, I have sold the rights to the script to Demon Fox. I will continue development of the script as a freelancer working for Demon Fox.

His stated intentions are to create a core version of the script to be released at a later date on vBulletin 3.7 to the community, as well as create a separate premium version which will have additional features and functionality.

This is good news for anyone interested in vBArmy. If not for Demon Fox it is very likely this script could have gone several months without any further significant development.

Well that sucks. I guess I will not be installing this mod! Oh well it was a nice thought at first. You should really think about making the using a external point system as gold a benefit of the free version. I am sure you can find many other things to give for premium members. This hack is pretty much worthless for any one who does have a point system with out it.

Ok, so when can we expect an update? I have my paypal account ready to purchase this mod when its ready.

My members are loving this mod, and when my members are happy, I'am happy. But I am getting tired of updating the database by hand to give everyone gold. Maybe we can get a php script that can be uploaded to the server - and run the script that updates the database to give gold? The fans of this mod need some kind of gold update soon - please.

[OsideRida06]

*Cough* Or have it linked with our external point system. *cough*

[BlitzSports]

Can somebody link it to the vbucks? That would be awesome and save a lot of database edits.

[OsideRida06]

I guess they are planning on doing it to where you can link it to a points system. But they are going to make that a paid feature.
