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**

This mod is very old and isn't supported. There is a newer mod by the same user called the "Gameroom" that is available for 4.x however there is no support for that either because the author hasn't been online in over a year. But the "Gameroom" might work for you.

If you are only interested in Poker there is another 4.x mod called "Pirate Poker" that is supported and should definitely work on your forum.

I just downloaded this mod, but cant find it anywhere to be played, is there something better or different for vB 3.8.7 ?

[BirdOPrey5]

Yes the "Gameroom" mod which is the upgrade of this mod is also available for 3.8.x. It works, I use it on my forum.

Again, if you only want poker through Pirate Poker is also available for 3.8.x and also works, I also use that mod too.

Use the search for 3.8 mods, titles only, search for "Gameroom" or "Poker" they should come up.

Every time I see your forums Mark I am impressed.

Thanks. I've wanted the original casino back for a long time, my members did not like the Gameroom, and its recent quarantine focused my mind on making another attempt to convert this.

Oddly, the way it has worked doesn't really make sense. The templates are still in vB3 format, not vB4 format. With just a couple of minor tweaks to the php files and some css added. I didn't do any of the normal variable registrations that you would expect you would have to do.

It really *shouldn't* work, but it does. I think I have basically fooled it into thinking it's still running on vB3....

I might be dreaming this or misunderstood what I read but way back when VB4 was new, before I had put any real time into working with vBulletin beyond basic Admining- I kind of remember someone telling me that if there was no VB4 code at all on a template, VB4 could parse VB3 template code- however once there was a single line of VB4 code then VB3 code would no longer work.

I've never tried it but could explain what is going on.

Yep that does seem to be pretty much what happens. I have often thought the same myself, back when I was converting minor stuff I'd written myself ready for vB4 a couple of years back.

So on this mod, if I want to write an IF condition it has to be the old style

<if>

rather than

<vb:if>

Variables have to be

 $whatever

not

{vb:raw whatever}

The only slight problem is that calling additional.css doesn't work because you can't use

{vb:cssfile additional.css}

I got round this by adding this to headinclude:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'casino'">
{vb:cssfile additional.css}
</vb:if>

Which gets round it slightly sneakily.

Not run into any problems so far, so I'm not complaining!

I may try and get some instructions up to get the basic functionality going, if people are interested.

Only thing I could NOT get working was the stats page. The Ajax won't play!

My question for Mark B..lol
is this.
Yep I recognize you...
anyhow, I have a user issue I can not allow other users to play just admin.
which kinda defeats having it installed..
Then also because I know you are in support let me ask this. And you seem to know your code.
If it is designed to run on VB3 and we are in effect changing code to work around, does this leave a door for PHP injection as My site got hacked and this is the only mod running that is not for 4.2?
I see the error and that is the start of code injection if I am correct.
But I am terribly new to this But if it is then My site will get popped again and I need to learn how they are doing it, to stop it.
I also am having a problem since anther person installed it for me, the admin tab disappeared from the right side when I am logged in as admin..
Game still works fine I can play them all. But also I thought there was a tab in admin cp after the initial install to control the game and add user permissions I can not locate it.

Can you help me here?

Thanks.
