Installation :
---------------

Simple.

1) Upload vbhangman_install.php to your admin directory, and run it, and then follow the instructions (you can run it again to uninstall this hack). This will add settings to your database automatically. Delete this file after you have done this.

2) Upload hangman.php to your forum directory.

3) Make a hangman subdirectory in your images directory. Upload the image files to the images/hangman subdirectory.

4) Make a new template "hangman" and add the contents of the hangman.txt file into this.

5) Go to your Admin CP, then to the vBulletin Options section, and set whether you want guests to have access to Hangman, how many attempts you allow (default is 6, any higher and you will need to add your own custom hangman images), and then add your words. Separate each word or words or each sentence with a comma. For example...

hello,yahoo!,3 blind mice,12 apostles,vbulletin,good morning,good afternoon,this is cool

(numbers and special characters are fine!)

Then, just go to http://www.yourforums.com/forums/hangman.php to play Hangman!

Enjoy!

Great Hack !!

As a newbie, it was a dream to install and works really well !!

Thanks !

[trafix]

Great hack! I have just installed it with 538 names of artists and bands

Installed and my members are loving it!!

How can I make it so when someone is playing hangman the online box says "Playing Hangman" linked to he game?

Also it seems to always go in order any way to randomise the words?

Thanks

Install Firefly's "Who's Online Location" hack and add hangman.php to it.

Also it seems to always go in order any way to randomise the words?

Thanks

Mmm... that's weird, since it SHOULD be random. I'm using a random function.

[ryancooper]

One other question, Is it possible to add more special characters to the list? I noticed ' and : do not show up and there is no option to choose them?

Also check out my forum, It seems that the games do go in order. http://www.talkdisney.com/forums/hangman.php

:banana:

Thanks :beard:

I have version 1.1 and the words are appearing in the same exact order everytime I am getting complaints that it is getting boring having to redo the same words over and over. I noticed you stated that the hack should be random but apparently on my board it is not.

[seangworld]

installed, very cool.

Hi,
I run a norwegian board and our alphabet has more letters than the english one. How do I add them?

[Erwin]

Open hangman.php.

Add your additional letters to this variable:

$additional_letters

Erwin,

I have 500+ words / phrases in my hangman list and it seems that it selects words in order of how it is inputed, my wife sat here doing it for about an hour one night....is there any way (apart from changing the order in the settings) to make it more random?

other than that great hack
