RPG Integration Hack - Old Support Thread

Nice conversion there mate, lot of work has gone into it so well done and thanks for sharing it

[DaPro]

I downloaded whats in the first post, and nothing worked right, so I tried looking around these posts for help and I eventually found a bunch of random txt files that helped me to set everything up perfectly. It was just really messed up and found SP txt and all these other readme's, and what not. :-/

this isnt making much sense...
If you downloaded the zip that has the "Gold" in it, then it has all the fixes already applied to both its main readme and the hack php files.
This I know because I can look at the rpg files right now, and I can see that it has all the fixes from the SP (Service Pack) integrated in them.
If your talkin about all the readmes inside the zip, then you shouldnt worry about anything but the RPG SYS INSTALL. All the other files I keep in there for copyright purposes, as I believe Bitsys made that txt to give credit where credit is due
If your talkin about the req_limitations.txt, I put that in there because I wanted to make people aware of the Requirements and Limitations this hack got.

And theres no other txt files than the one in the main post, and the ones in the addon post.
I HAVE to keep the SP txt file in that other post, because if not, users who still got the "pre-Gold" version might come back and find everyone saying "this works" and theirs dont.


Anyways, if you can clean up the templates and get them validated against XHTML 1.0 Transitional, then you da man!
Templates was until now the only help request I didnt get filled


EDIT: I do know this hack doesnt look very professional... And its not, Im just one guy here....
Im not a 1337 coder, nor am I a HTML guru... I learned tons of things just through the convert of this hack...

I just did it because I wanted to let vB gain back what wBB took, because I wanted to offer an alternative to a paid hack, and because I believe in sharing

If anyone wants to be my "PR Person" and can help me in making this look more professional, then its welcomed with thanks and credit just like every other helper

It's ok dude, I am not knocking the hustle, I am just saying it was extremely hard to get this working. I am glad you put so much work into this, I was just frustrated. I must have ++++ed up somewhere in the process so don't mind me. I will do the templates next week. Stay tuned!!!

Hello Fellow Users,

I also recently tried to install this hack, got the installer working and everything now, and added one fix from here to it, but it is not letting me goto "Update RPG info" it comes up with the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM rpg_datastore
mysql error: Table 'burning_forums.rpg_datastore' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Are you sure you did the file edits correctly?
Because that table was only there in the "pre-Gold" file edits (of profile.php I might add), and I just checked the readme as I type this, the rpg_datastore aint there
Try to dload the new zip, because this I also just checked and the file edit is gone.

For a hotfix; heres what you do:

profile.php
##########################
Find (both instances of):
--------------------------

		$rpgdatafetch = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_datastore");
		$rpgdata = $DB_site->fetch_array($rpgdatafetch);



Replace with:
---------------------------

		$rpgdata = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT namefield AS rpgname FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."rpg_battle_options");

Hope this helps, and if you run into more problems, please consult the rpg_SP1_2.5gold.txt linked to from the first post, and see if you lack those edits

I still get invaild battle or password .... i dunno why i used the update sp1 any ideas?

[Revan]

Try to reupload the battlefight.php from the new zip?
Before the gold came out, the hack was tested to bits so there shouldnt be such errors....

[Rahzel_hx]

too late i already screwd things up >_< lol i will have to reinstall it all... or something >_> i messed the databases up and i tryed the new installer and it can't add some data table rpg_items_options but i can add it usin that sql entry .... weird bbl gotta reinstall X(

But the old installer adds it no problem?

Edit: i fixed w/e was wrong with it so far ...*goes to test battles*

[Revan]

Ok this is severey pissing me off now.
50 % are having errors with the old installer
50 % are having errors with the new installer
wtf am I supposed to do...? *goes to cry in the corner*

But seriously now.
Im tempted to just drop this whole ++++in installer deal and give people a SQL file to use.
You know what Im gonna do that for the next version.
Lotsa other people do it.
Installers are for ponces
XD

[Rahzel_hx]

lol i agree sry about all the trouble, but no installer will make it work better cause then if it don't work its the person installing its fault ^_^
