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:

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.


Add-ons:
The following add-ons are not included in the default installation. You must apply these add-ons after you have installed the hack successfully.

And also, what code can I add so every new member who registers start out with a $1000? [/B]
well for me, this is what i have.

In register.php

find:
PHP Code:
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO userfield $userfieldsnames VALUES ($userid$userfields)"); 
under it put:
PHP Code:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE userfield SET field5=1000 WHERE userid=$userid"); 
it works for me.

Has this hack been updated yet this year? I see that the first post was updated last December....

Has anyone had any big problems with this in 2.2.9? I don't want to wait for it to be a full release... lol

When I used 2.2.9 it was all good. Now on 2.3.0 it's still working good.

When I go to "Edit Classes" (via admin cp) and choose to add a class to the female category, the link leads me to add to the male category.

Edit: By the way, I just noticed the original Itemshop was updated to v5.3. I didn't stick around to see what was new, but maybe you should check it out?

Here is the attached screenshot of that (small size). What I did was reset RPG and then repopulate the itemshop table with the install_itemshop_items.php and they all got in there, but then it gave me a database error about battle_items table I believe. The whole RPG works but users just cant use their weapons.

Then I deleted category 3 because it was useless since I couldn't get the potions to work in there (no tickbox to make it heal, etc), and then created a new category. Not sure if thats the problem.

I also ran the DB Fix and it did nothing.

In the admin cp, go to the RPG Admin manual. In the FAQ, look at the one titled "Q: Why can't I use items in battle? They are always grayed out and it says, "You do not have a [item name]"."

Well, I found out it was the battle_stats table, it doesnt clear when you do the RPG reset.
Which reset did you do?

Hi Girlz *g*

I have a problem with the hack.
When i want to choose any RPG Race and RPG Class there isn?t anything. By RPG Alignment i can choose Good or Evil but by RPG CLass and RPG Race there is only "Unknown"

In the attachement is my members.php i hope someone can help me
(Sorry for my bad english, i?m not from Amerika or England )

In the admin cp, does it show that you have more classes/races than just 'Unknown'? Also, when you select a gender, does the rpg class drop-down give you more options than 'Unknown'?

bits i have a quesoitn. Very very very odd.

I'm really not sure whether this is a battle hack or store hack problem so i'm leavin it to your expert advice.

ANyway

Before like 1 week ago, everyone was gettin gil/store points fine and everythign was happy. But recently, newbies that registerdon't get an gil from posting. It doesnt' even start for them. The place where the gil is supose to go is just balnk. But senior members who registered before that "1 week shift" can still get gil the old way and fine for them.

I checked both store and battle install files and it seems alright but i just want to see if you could help me on this.

Gil doesn't show in postbit, itemshop, bank or anything. You can donate money to the new members but that's it. . . . nothing more. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
Run DB Fix and tell me what it says.

Do you mean replacing the word "gil" with "gold", or do you mean designing that currency system you were talking about earlier?

Just scroll down to the Female classes part. You can either add male classes or female classes from that menu. Each one has a separate submit button.

I checked it out earlier and I already fixed most of the stuff that I didn't like. The first post says it is 75% faster, but when I read the install file, it looked like it wasn't, so I am not sure. All the functionality that was supposedly added in 5.3 is already in this hack, I think. Let me know if you find something otherwise though, since I just skim read it.
