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've already fix "Invalid password" error, but in Private Message the password battle not show and when I click go to Battle, the system show "Invalid Battle Password", why ? fix ?

Today at 03:25 AM Cicada said this in Post #1655
just installed it on a test board, no problems, after installing it on a production board, i ran into quite a few -- it does not updae XP with posts;

is tehre any way to:

a) fix this
(EDIT: i think ive fixed it, was in battle optiosn to give users XP per post, duh)


YET, that did not fix the problem


b) uninstall teh hack manually

also, i get this error when submitting a new reply:

Invalid SQL: SELECT field5 FROM userfield WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'field5' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

yet if i hit the back button and submit the reply again, it goes through -- i've added the auto-update stats into the newthread and newreply scripts as per the instructions...

also,

Invalid SQL: SELECT field6, field5 FROM userfield WHERE userid='5'
mysql error: Unknown column 'field6' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

I get that when trying to search for a user to edit in teh admin CP.

i also get

Invalid SQL: SELECT field5 FROM userfield WHERE userid=5
mysql error: Unknown column 'field5' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

when tryingto donate GP/Points/Gil to a user.

it's also not updating Gil/GP for user posts.

Not sure about the first problem, so lets fix the second one and see if it helps. Read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...664#post331664 and do the same thing for the Points field.

Today at 03:56 AM Cicada said this in Post #1657

How much XP per post are they supposed to be getting?

Yesterday at 08:54 PM Me! said this in Post #1663
Not sure if this was addressed yet but, maybe in another version of this mod you might want to make it verify the user has enough money to match the icrement of the bet made.

A person challenged me to a battle with a wager of 500 gil, However I only have about 200 and it still allowed me into battle.

This is not supposed to be happening. How much money was in your bank account and how much was in your pocket?

[Dribbles]

Is there a way to un-install this hack? I'm mainly concerned with the changes it made to my MySQL database. I seems like there are a lot of things to delete if I have to go in manually with PHPmyAdmin and do it by hand?? Is there an easy list of all the things to delete? thnx

[eXentriC_nova]

I wanna ask how can I make when healing you dont use the money in bank. I wanna to use the money in cash.
Some of my members bugging me thia problem coz them not to get any interest at all.
And also I have this problem. If anyone request a draw and the ppl who are answering to the request accidently click 'submit reply' without choosing yes or no the battle got stuck. The page just refreshes with the option either saying yes to the draw or say no tothw draw. And it goes forever.

[MindTrix]

quick question. Cause im runnin demo battles, its all good, but it seems every punch thats delt always hits. Do they ever miss? and wut about weapons etc? they got some sort of accuracy % ?

[Asso]

OH-MY-GOD! it' a GREAT hack and i'm waiting for this since 2001! THANKS! I'll support you forever!

[sonic3d]

is there a way to change the defense.

like if the buff of the shield is like 5000 and the person who attacked you with a sword has a buff of 5250, then the attack will only do 250 damage. i like this way instead, a lot better.

Im surprised some of VB's best hackers aint lent a hand. Ne wayz i jus wanted to point out that Bitsy has dun a amazing job here and not once has he/she gave a nasty reply or useless reply. he/she has answered everyones questions and comments amazingly and i think everyone should get on their knees and pray to our new god! lol, im outroz (luv da hack)

[MindTrix]

wait i got a moan lol, people on my site have weapons, yet when battling its telling them they dont have any to use, so they can only use their fists, even tho the weapons are showing under their stats etc :S
