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**

OK the mod has been installed for a few hours and here are some things my users picked up on and would like changing for future updates:

- Split pots in Hold'em go to the bank (points disapear instead of being split).
- The dealer acts first on the flop in Hold'em, should be the small blind.
- Payouts for getting 3 in a row on slots are too low.
- Easier to know when it is your turn in hold'em

That should have been fixed, but I've gotten a report of soemthing else I was sure I had fixed happening, so I'll check this when I get home... I'm thinking I made a stupid mistake and archived the wrong copy of a file...

- The dealer acts first on the flop in Hold'em, should be the small blind.

Will ook into that as well.

- Payouts for getting 3 in a row on slots are too low.

any higher and everyones cash would skyrocket. The machines pay out 100% right now.

- Easier to know when it is your turn in hold'em

... how much easier do you want it? If it's not your turn you can't do anything, if it is you can?

[hitmanuk2k]

Just a basic noise perhaps like poker software do? I know this just a mod for vbulletin so obviously no where near as advanced... and my members REALLY appriciate this mod it's great... but just something to make it easier to identify your turn would be great. Also, no-limit if it's possible? It's the most played type of poker.

Like I say though, I am being picky but it would turn a great mod into a marvelous one!

I think the fact that it says "WAIT" when its not your turn works pretty well but I can see how if you were looking away you may not realize it was your turn.

Hey Andrew: Once I strip that file of the "unremarks" can I just save it for future upgrades or will I have to do that everytime?

So no one else is having problems when folding and not being able to play the next hand? For instance, when I fold sometimes it makes me sit out 4 or 5 hands before it will let me play again. Any help is appreciated.

[Andrew Green]

It was a issue, but it should be solved as of v .51, try reuploading the texasholdem files and make sure the overwrite the existing ones, if you are still having problems let me know. But I tested this on my server, .50 has the missing button, .52 does not.

Hi Andrew would it be possible for tesax hold to show how many peeps are in the game before you enter?

I get that error when importing the xml file.

When I just browse to the xml file on my computer and try to import, I get an invalid file message.

Any thoughts? I've never had a problem before.

This part adds a box below your navbar showing how many players are in the Texas Hold em poker game, if any. If you would prefer not to use this feature disable the "Casino cash in profile" plugin.

========

In navbar Template, at the very bottom add:

*************************************************
$inpoker
*************************************************

it is in the readme file.

? are you trying to import the cpnav_casino.xml file? If so that is the cause, that one just gets uploaded, it is the "product-casino.xml" file you import.
