RPG Integration Hack v3.5.1 Patch Level 2

[/high]
RPG Integration Hack (RPG hack for short) v3.5.1 is the first step into the next generation of the classic hack compiled by Bitsys. For those that are unfamiliar with any of what I mentioned above, heres a quick rundown of what this hack is and does.
The RPG hack adds a whole new level of fun to a forum, by allowing uses to duke it out in a fierce battle. Use items to turn the tide of the battle, or use powerful spells to bring down an opponent. Or you can just rely on the good old sword to cut your enemy down to size!
Create or join a clan to amass an army and conquer the boards.
Patch yourself up after a hard battle.
Feeling lucky? Go bet on the lottery!

No RPG forum should be without. Administrator controls every single aspect of how the hack works, right down to every item and an user's level/stat gains.


[high]Important Notices:[/high]

1. You need an external Cash mod installed for this mod to function properly.
   • uCash/uShop or vBPlaza, either will do
   • The Cash mod need to use the `user` table
   • You need to configure a setting in the RPG Integration Hack - Cash Options after install/upgrade

[high]Known Issues:[/high]

Well... I would wait but... I GOTTA INSTALL! *installs*

Thanks again for the hack! I'll be sure to report any bugs!

[edit]why not use an "import product" file instead of the installer.php? I'd perfer this more as will others, since it makes it east to disable or uninstall the hack is needed.

Because this hack needs to add(/remove) and alter database tables, and I trust the vB XML installer system as far as I can throw a couch.
The hack installre system DOES reference to an xml file. Besides, I included an uninstaller as well, so there's no problems.
I refuse to work with install/uninstall code as vB did it.

Since eBux is similar to uCash in the money storage way, what works for one works for the other

Well, it was suggested as it is the point of vB 3.5 in most ways... as it does help the user manage the hack better, but meh, I'll still go for it since the hack is still awesome!

Actually, eBux has the option to convert the uCash to eBuxes, a nice feature they have So, yeah, shows they are similar in that aspect.

Well as I said, the hack DOES use the Product system to manage everything but queries. I don't feel comfortable working with that environment, and it makes upgrading a pain.
What if for instance some of you detected a template bug that required heavy editing? I couldn't update the zip because telling you to import the new XML as that would make it re-run the queries thus cause errors.
Id have to either bump version number or halt the fix.
Besides, I prefer Dreamweaver over the text boxes for install/uninstall code
And finally, if the Product system is so fancy then why don't Jelsoft use it for their upgrades huh? j\k

*not trying to be rude* actually they use it to patch the software as an option instead of a full upgrade :P

Arr I owned myself thar didn't I
Well I meant like upgrading to the next version, like 3.5.3 -> .4! So HA! XD

Revan you can use the version field to make the product xml queries run or not. or use IF NOT EXISTS in the queries themselves.

Dreamweaver can be used to edit the xmls

Problem with my postbit thingy, see attachement.

Also, for the same thing in the attachment, would it be possible to make it collapsable, and have it collapsed by default? my postbit is quite large with my mods + the rpg postbit.
