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**

I have never done a mod install ever to vb.

So please be kind

I am trying to follow the instructions.

1: I copied casino.php to my vb location (No problem)
2: copied the casio directory and its content to same location
3: I dont really know where admincp goes. I assume it should be some safe place. I put it where members wont see it

4: import the xml file. This is where I am stuck, where/how do I do this step ?

Thanks for your patience

3 - Basically everything goes in the folders it is in. So the stuff in the admincp folder goes in the admincp folder you already have. Same for the stuff in the includes folder, just move the files into the folders that are already there. The /casino/ folder is the only new one.

4 - Go to Products in your admincp, then import a Product. Select the product-casino.xml file and go.

When it comes time to update do the same thing, upload the files in the UPLOAD folder to the same places that they are in, import the product (choosing "yes" to overwrite when updating) Don't uninstall, not neccessary and would remove all your settings and scores.

How did you do that?

You need to make a couple of tweaks.

First create a Custom Profile Field as follows:
Title: Colour Of Casino Card Tables
Description: You can choose either GREEN or RED card tables for the Casino
Options: Green Red (put these on separate lines, make sure Green is first)
Set Default: Yes
Field Required: No
Field Editable By User: yes
Private Field: No
Show on members list: No

Leave all of the "Optional Input" block as default

Which page displays this option? Options: Other

Make a note of the field number when you have saved it...we'll call it fieldx for this, but replce x with whatever number it gives you.

Rename all the RED files in the zip above so they have red- in front of them.
eg red-cloth-br. Upload them to your /casino/cards/ folder, same location as the green ones.

Find every instance in the word cloth in the casino templates and put this IMMEDIATELY in front of it, adding no extra spaces or characters:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldx'] == 'Red'">red-</if>

Remember to change the x in "fieldx" to the field number you have just been given in your admincp.

You will end up with lines that look like this:

<img src='casino/cards/<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldx'] == 'Red'">red-</if>cloth-tl.gif' alt=''/>

But don't just replace everything with the above full line of code as the GIF names are different for each one. You will break things if you do.

That's it.

The affected templates are:
casino_blackjack_play
casino_letitride_cards
casino_texasholdem_table
casino_vidpoker_play

There are several instances to change in each template, not just one!

IMPORTANT: remember that each time there is an upgrade, you will need to REVERT these four templates and RE-APPLY the changes, or things might not work!

One thing I'm finding is that although the Javascript error has been fixed that affected IE only, Video Poker does still "freeze" after a short time playing but only in IE.

You finish a hand, try to place a bet and everything except the row of cards disappears. You then cannot move on without a full refresh. It doesn't change the cards or put the "Discard" button up.

I'll look into that this weekend.
