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.

I've installed this on my forums and when adding the code into the postbit area it really makes the postbit longer and it looks wierd.

:lick:
The RPG manual has a shorter version in it.

Alright, sorry for not clarifying better. You know how in the ADMIN panel, the admin can ad classes and then select whether he wants only Admin and Mods to use that class? Well it would be reallly helpful if we could do that for specific members. So lets say "bob" wants a certain class that no one else can get, I would go and do it via the CPANEL.

Thanks.
Hmm, I see. That doesn't sound very feasible right now

possible bug with itemshop.php, in relation to donations...

Code:
Invalid SQL: SELECT field5 FROM userfield WHERE userid=
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

I'm not sure where it's doubling up the forum/forum url either.. I've checked my systems and it all seems to be in order, but still getting error...

In your rpgcp template, find:
Code:
$post[userid]
and change it to
Code:
$userid

In the postbit template, you could put something like:

Code:
<a href="rpgcp.php?userid=$post[userid]">RPG info</a>
That code will take them to the RPGCP of the poster.

Bitsy, when users edit their character and stuff in their User CP ----> Edit Options sometimes things do not change in real time. For example, earlier today I was testing it out and when I switched my class the Type would also switch right then and there to match the Class. Tonight, however, I have to select a new class, then hit update, then go back to Edit Info to see the new type... I'm not sure why this is. How can I get it to go back to how it was before?

okay! REALLY long time no see :-p after breaking the battle arena like 6 months ago, i finally downloaded the newest version, disregarded all installation directions, and installed the hack over ^_^ so, in 2 days time, i redid the hack (my custom version anyway) lol, including the fabled summons, pp everything, and like a million little tweaks here and there to patch up little bugs which im not sure have been mentioned before or nt (i REFUSE to read through 130 pages of this thread >.<) anyway, as for the summons, theres still some TINY bugs in it (it doesnt appear for some users for some reason (like me???)) lmao, but does for 99.99% of the users of my enormous forums... my itemshop is still got 350 items, aaaaand i came up with a new version of the donation queue, if anyone been using it (i doubt it -_-) although summons might be more liked :-p anyways, IF you decided to be different and installed the donation queue, to upgrade just replace the code from the install instructions in moderate.php and itemshop.php (and yes it has been updated for the most current vrsion) oh and drop toname and origname from the table, theyre bad now lol. new features include spiffy new interface, and now ip is displaying in a handy way (no long-around looking up of ips)

like i said ive fixed a million little bugs -_- but if i come accross asked questions ive fixed in this thread, ill post them (and ill keep ya posted on summons...maybe) lol

I just went to check out your forums. I like what you've done with the RPG, very nice. I hope to hear (see?) more from you about the "summons" in the future.

I have an issue where the USER CP area lists the special fields of "race", class, etc 2 times. Once in the required area and again at the bottom. It only updates if you change the one on the bottom. Very confusing. I looked all over in the code and the data and couldn't figure it out. I could get them both to go away but not just one. Anyone have this problem? Suggestions to fix it? It's a new installation on 2.3.0. I'm testing it here:
