V3Arcade - Pay for Play (Permissions Based)
![]() Developer Last Online: Oct 2005 ![]() ![]()
What this hack does and how it operates:
This hack was requested by Detomah (and a substantial number of others over the years) which will allow you, the admin, to control the number of games that can be played, based on the users access permission level. The concept/design/installation of this mod is quite simple. Example: Usergroup A: You assign how many 'credits' they are assigned. Usergroup B: You assign how many 'credits' they are assigned. Lets say you set the default 'credits' to 50 for Usergroup A Lets say you set the default 'credits' to 100 for Usergroup B The cost to play 1 game is 1 credit. 1 Game Play is defined when the user selects the game to play and it loads. (Not when it submits a score, as he could play, and simply not submit, thus cheating by not recording his play). When a user selects the game he wishes to play, a check is made to see if his access level can play. If no, hes given the standard no permission page. If yes, another check is made to get the users access level credit quota, then compares it wiith how many gameplays the user has remaining. If the user has the credits, 1 will be deducted, and the game will load for play. If he has no remaining credits, he will be given the 'You have no more play credits page'. (A simple match equation). You could create a 'Cost per Game' if you really wanted to, but in this progammers eyes, its more trouble then its actually worth. It wouldnt take much to implement this to work in that fashion. Likewise, you could change a variable or two, to allow it to work with any of the existing 'Point Systems' which you currently have in place. I dont use any of them, but its also easily done. This mod is more or less for those who want to offer their user a 'Premium' access level package. Each premium access level would allow them additional game play credits. Now for the hack: QUERIES TO BE RUN: (Dont forget to add your prefix if needed) Code:
ALTER TABLE user ADD COLUMN totalplays smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'; ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD COLUMN playquota smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0'; Code:

for the newguys ru going to update the top file? not to stress you out or anything.
Me personally I am going to wait for the permision stuff that way this would be fully automated. Your a better hacker than me but I got something on a site I did. It goes with the permisions and reputation. the promotions part. I have it so if your permisons drop past x you primary is blah. and if your rep is higher your new group is Y! maybe a simple workaround like that could work. (or each new user that starts th... nevermind issue with the old ones already there....) |

me on about the extra mod the
Updated: 01-25-2005 - The following is an 'Add On' mod which will allow you to define a default usergroup that the user will be placed into, once he has used up all of his game plays. This will remove the user from his/her 'premium' access level and place them into a 'normal' access level that you define in your usergroup manager. Further, it will reset his credit level (IE: totalplays) back to 0. In doing so, it makes it much easier for that user to resubscribe, and regain instant access via subscription. that one I installed it and it keep reseting my accounts even if the users dont use there points up |

That would occur only if you have it setup to default to that particular user group. You also want to have the original hack done and working -before- having added that 2nd hack which you make mention of.

Would using this be that I could create it so that Guests could actually play like 3 games before they are required to register, and also must register to submit scores?
