RPG Integration Hack /w Battle (BETA)

RPG Integration Hack BETA by Bitsys
(vBulletin versions 2.2.6?, 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0)

This hack combines several RPG hacks into one and adds a battle hack. The hacks included in this hack are:

• Zajako's Ultimate HP/MP Stats Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37720)
• Zajako's RPG Elements Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35318)
• Zajako's In battle hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42715)
• Zajako's RPname hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43651)
• DV class hack used with permission of J2K (aka the RPG Class Hack v3.3) ----- (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43558)
• Mewtwo's/Rake's Original Itemshop v5 -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=38090)

In addition to re-releasing thse hacks, I have added features to all of them (or else there would be no point in re-releasing).

• The RPG hacks are now all editable via the admin control panel.
• The itemshop has been somewhat optimized and some fixes are included that reduce queries in showthread.php and itemshop.php . Also, Lesane's Store Hack has been integrated with the Itemshop. This can be toggled in the admin cp.

This means that the RPG hacks are database driven and have been partially integrated with the Itemshop. This was necessary in order to make a battle hack, which is also included.

Since most people are familiar with the RPG and Itemshop hacks, I will give a brief description of the Battle hack. If you want more information about either of the other two hacks, then refer to their original posts or download the .zip file and read the "readme.txt". If you are a visual learner, then you can scroll down to the second post in this thread, which contains the pictures of all of these hacks.


Battle Features:

• The battle format is turn-based.
• HP, AP, PP, and MA are automatically deducted based on what action a user takes, the damage dealt to an opponent, etc.
• Opponents in battle can use spells, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, shields, potions, or their fists.
• A battle is over when a combatant dies, retreats, or there is a draw. Battles can also be ended via the admin control panel.
• A wager can be set on a battle. Whoever wins the battle recieves the amount of money as specified in the wager. Outside bets are not supported yet.
• Battles can be either public or private, as determined by the admin control panel. If private, battles require a password and battles can not be browsed. If public, then any user can view any battle, but only the original combatants can fight.
• The results of a battle can be posted into a designated "Battle" forum, as specified in the admin control panel.
• Inactive battles can be pruned.

Getting started with the battle hack:

• In order to get items to disply in the item shop, you must select which items go with which RPG Type in the "Edit Item Type" Menu of the admin cp.
• In order to assign which weapon categories do what kind of damage in battle, you must go to the "Edit Category" link located in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. Select a Battle type for the category and save changes.
• In order to do damage to your opponent when in battle, you must assign the amount of damage each weapon does in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. The default damage is set to 0. The same principle goes for armor, potions, spells, shields, etc.

Please refer to the screenshots or "readme.txt" for more information.


Why is this a BETA hack?

I have tested the installation of this hack on vBulletin versions 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0. However, because of the scale of this hack, there is plenty of room for errors. Therefore I am making the following disclaimer while this hack is in the BETA stage:


WARNINGS:

• Do not install this hack on a production board. Please keep this hack, while in the BETA stage, to a test board. The reason for not installing this on a production board is that I cannot provide upgrade instructions for going from one version of the beta hack to the next version of the beta hack. Also, this hack does not have an un-install script yet. So please remember, if you decide to install this on a production board, you are doing so at your own risk.
  
• Do not apply this hack if you already have ANY of the included hacks installed. Please refer to the list at the top to see if you have any of the conflicting hacks installed. Since I am asking that you install this on a test board right now, this should not be a problem since you can re-install a fresh copy of vBulletin in under 5 minutes, as a test board of course.
  
• There is currently no upgrade script for installing this over any of the included hacks. I will make one when this beta is completed.
  
• If you choose to install the postbit features, then an additional query will be added to showthread.php. This query is a SELECT COUNT(*) query and adds around .001 seconds to the page generation. If you don't like the idea of adding an additional query to showthread.php, then you have the option of not installing that part of the hack. See the install file for more information.

Miscellaneous:

The beta of this hack is free. The full/final release will also be free.

All installation instructions and credits are included in the attachment. If you find a bug or have problems, feel free to post them here and I will try to fix them. Please read the included readme file if you have questions. If you can't find the answer, then post your question here and I will answer it.

All hacks included in this hack have been re-released with permission of their original creators.

Screenshots are in the second post of this thread.


Installation:

Installation instructions are included in the .zip file.


ACKK! I NEED HELP!!!

If you are having trouble and need some help, please refer to the help documentation included in the .zip file. It is located in the "extra" directory.

If you need help and you have already installed the hack, make sure you check the RPG Manual link in the admin cp. Also, make sure you read the FAQ included with the manual.

MY THREADS STOPPED DISPLAYING CORRECTLY!!!
See if you are experiencing one of the following symptoms:

• All of my users are being labeled as "Guest" in the postbit template.
• No posts are showing up.
• None of the RPG variables will display in the postbit. The element/gender/class images are broken.
• I get database errors when I go to showthread.php

If you are experiencing one or more of the above problems, then your showthread.php file was not edited correctly by the installer. This problem usually occurs on boards with other hacks installed that modify the queries in showthread.php. Please go to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2261 and follow the instructions there.

I'm having more problems...he stuff won't show up in the threads. Shouldn't it be showing experience?

[SM Tengu]

Nintel, it's easier to understand the problem if you elaborate what you mean by that.

[kaotic]

My members keep challenging other members that are way out of their league... so I was wondering if there was a way to create a new field in the memberlist that displays each member's level. Can this be done?

I'm having difficulties, I installed this hack to a fresh board runninb 2.3.0. Everything installed successfuly. However I didn't do backups so once the installation was finished it said backing up the files was unable to be done since I hadn't chmod'ed them. Everything else it said was successful. Now when I go to my forum nothing shows and itemshop brings up an error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlevel() in /blahblahstuffhere/forum2/itemshop.php on line 438

Also when I go into user profile the RPG fields have no options in the drop down box. I'm not sure what else I am to do.

Did you run the install_itemshop_items.php ?

Did you add the variables to your postbit template?

[Airs]

How can i possibly remove extra templates.. like i accidentally processed the insert db of the tempaltes a few times now i have like

battle [changeorginal]
battle [changeorginal]
battle [changeorginal]
battle [changeorginal]
battle [changeorginal]

tons of duplicates; how doi remove them?

EDIT: Okay, I did more research, and it appears these problems are coming from the fact that people with a ' in their name are screwing up syntax. I reset battle standings and told the people with ' and & in their name not to play, and so far no problem.

Any ideas on that donation error? It appears members only have success donating through the profile.

To fix the ' in peoples names, do the following:

In battleupdate.php, find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO battle_posts VALUES (NULL,'$battle[battlenumber]','$bbuserinfo[username]','$bbuserinfo[userid]','$battleaction')"); 


And REPLACE it with:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO battle_posts VALUES (NULL,'$battle[battlenumber]','".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."','$bbuserinfo[userid]','$battleaction')"); 


Still in battleupdate.php, find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO battle_posts VALUES (NULL,'$battlenumber','$bbuserinfo[username]','$bbuserinfo[userid]','$battleaction')"); 


and REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO battle_posts VALUES (NULL,'$battlenumber','".addslashes($bbuserinfo[username])."','$bbuserinfo[userid]','$battleaction')"); 


I am unable to solve the donation problem. For more information, search this thread and the original itemshop thread to see solutions I have tried that did not work.

For all of you getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getlevel() in /hsphere/local/home/side5411/forums.nintel.com/forums/admin/functions.php

Do the following:

In admin/functions.php, find:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start gettextareawidth ####################### 


and ABOVE it, add:

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start getlevel #######################
// This function is for the RPG Integration Hack by Bitsys.
// It calculates the level of a person, given their experience
// and the rate of experience gain.  It can return float or int.
function getlevel($experience, $exprate=3, $returnfloat=0) {
        if($returnfloat) {
                if($experience > 0) {
                        return pow( log10( $experience), floor( $exprate));
                } else {
                        return 0;
                }
        } else {
                if($experience > 0) {
                        return floor( pow( log10( $experience), floor( $exprate))) + 1;
                } else {
                        return 1;
                }
        }
}

looks good I don't have spells added yet, or buffs, but if anyone wants a gander at my battle system http://www.xtremegames.ca/ I can't wait to test the next release of the RPG Integration Hack /w Battle.



Bitsys, spam system?

as for news system, it's part of vbhome, from vbulletin.org, I've done a lot of custom hacks, and changes custom postbit changes to the site, to link up to your rpg hack. As well as some custom profile tweaks.

Yes, I noticed that there was a spam count in the postbit. I believe I read a post stating that you can't have too many spam counts or it takes away money from the itemshop. Maybe I was dreaming

I installed this on a fresh version of vBulletin 2.3.0 without incident. However, I have (so far) found two after the fact problems. I don?t believe the problem has anything to do with my end of things, such as installation, other hacks, etc.

The first problem exists in usercp > edit profile. Here, most of the fields are duplicated, and the form itself displays inaccuracies and contradictions such as it indicating the form as being part of registration. I have attached my modifyprofile template, where the problem likely exists.

The second problem is in reference to the postbit template. I copied/pasted the contents of samplepostbit.txt as instructed. Unfortunately, the entire postbit area when viewed in the forums fails to display correctly. I will attach my postbit template in the post.

Again, this hack was installed on s a fresh version of vBulletin 2.3.0 and has not a single hack or other modification made to it. I had no error messages displayed and did not come upon any problems during installation. I would greatly appreciate text files with the corrections made. Thanks for a great hack? I hope the momentum continues.

I will see about changing that template edit so that it quits duplicating.

Yes, it can be done. Someone was working on it a while ago.

Can you go into phpmyadmin and verify that the appropriate data is in the tables? Just make sure the table that begin with rpg_ aren't empty.

You will need to go into phpmyadmin, find the template table, and delete them manually.


As for why I haven't responded in a while, well, I had a rough week. Internet keeps going out, power went out for a few hours, fire alarm keeps malfunctioning, etc. Plus, it is exam week.

Ah ok, well I have store hack installed, using an addon called anti spam for that, basically if people post too many short replys to my site the system would take store points away.

hacks added,
Added Store Hack by Lesane
Added Spam Killer Hack (store version) by g-force2k2
Added Rpg Battle System to the site by Bitsys
Added Update to Store Hack, seperate from battle system

after adding some of these hacks, I had to custom edit the postbit/profile to make the contents show up for each of these systems which was a great learning exterience, and about 2 hours of juggling and tweaking.

Example shots of how it looks:
my custom postbit,
http://www.xtremegames.ca/code/imgs/new_postbit1.gif

what profile link in postbit looks like
http://www.xtremegames.ca/code/imgs/new_profile.gif

Try talking to g-force2k2 to see if a version could get setup for your next release / future release of the rgg battle system.

I tried to fix most of the bugs I found, my bad, I'll be installing it again on my other site so will make bug list and post it here, and what I changed.

as for requests, I'd love to see away to change what type of currency the rgp system uses, and also have room to add userfields for adding possible multi-currency types to the rpg hack. aka pyreal, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, etc.

sorry for the long message ...

[SM Tengu]

I made a very small add-on that makes the hack even more RPG like.

If you fight a high level opponent it would make sense if you gained more experience than if you fight a low level opponent. So what this hack does is simply to multiply the experience-factor that you set for winning the battle with the opponents level.

Open battleupdate.php and find:
-------

if($battleopt[givewinexp] == 1 && $battleopt[expperwin] > 0) {
if($battle[winnerid] > 0)
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET xp=xp+$battleopt[expperwin] WHERE userid='$battle[winnerid]'");
}

-------

And replace with:
-------

if($battleopt[givewinexp] == 1 && $battleopt[expperwin] > 0) {
if($battle[winnerid] > 0)
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET xp=xp+($opponentlevel*$battleopt[expperwin] WHERE userid='$battle[winnerid]'");
}

-------

Very simple hack, but it can prevent some abuse of the fighting system. For example the so called Bottom-feeding.

Perhaps this could be included in the next update? Personally, I think it would make more sense than the current system =)

Bitsys, would it be possible to make different forums gain you a different amount of creds and exp? I've made a raw code hack now, but I have to alter it through the code instead of the admin panel.

For example, I want my users to gain more experience and credits for posting in a serious forum such as "Forum Suggestions". And less if they use "General Discussions".

Perhaps implent a multiplier in the Forum Moderation-system.
