RPG Elements Hack

This hack lets your members choose an element (as in rpg elements)
You give them a choice on a list and they can become a Fire (or whatever) elemented person.
Its mainly for RPG boards but im sure you can find many other uses for it :}
It also displays it on there post bit aka sidebar :}
again for an active demonstration goto my forums at
http://www2.fate-fx.com/tf/forums/index.php
and you can check it out. i will be using images to rep the elements I can upgrad it to do that if you would like.

here it is...

this is the link to the 1.0 version, i will attach the 2.0 version on the end of this forum so that people may choose to use the old aswell

The element images were Incredibly Small and blury. I created new ones using Paint Shop Pro.

For a preview, check out www.ultimatemetroid.com/forums

my elements are:


Fire


Water


Light


Earth


Lightning


Wind


Dark


The HIDDEN Ice element

and


Omega

I also have the problem, where everytime someone edits their profile, if they don't specify an element, it automatically sets it back to none.

[zajako]

yes this problem is a thing that I will fix in a future update.

Great hack, i didnt like the idea of images cluttering the postbit though, so i simply changed it to Text instead of images. Hope his was ok

[AtmosPhere]

I unmodified it again, and re-installed the hack, now i am having problems as it always displays "none" on a new line
HELP!

[AtmosPhere]

I really need help
this hack has been installed but its defunct
this should be in the beta release forum man!

[zajako]

contact me by aim the aim name is zajako2

I can take a look and fix it.

[zajako]

ok, i have completed an update finaly...

this time it is using the db. This is a much better version of the hack anyways, all previous problems were fixed and hopefully this will be an easy install

Also please notify me by aim of any and all errors

v2.0.....

err, whoops....
I forgot there already was a 2.0 I should learn to count or at least realize i updated my hack already

owel this is the 3.0 version and the file says 2.0 so make me feel good by pertending the file says 3.0 :P

So now after reloading the profile page there is the right element selected (the one, that user selected before) or is it still 'none'?

[zajako]

still none however i have fixed that

Open the admin panel and open User option templates>modifyprofile

then find

PHP Code:


<select name="element">
                              
        <option value="0" selected>None</option>
        <option value="1" >Light</option>
        <option value="2" >Water</option>
        <option value="3" >Wind</option>
        <option value="4" >Lightning</option>
        <option value="5" >Earth</option>
        <option value="6" >Fire</option>
        <option value="7" >Dark</option>
    
          

        </select> 


and replace with

PHP Code:

<select name="element">
                                <option value="$bbuserinfo[element]" selected>Current Element</option>
        <option value="0" >None</option>
        <option value="1" >Light</option>
        <option value="2" >Water</option>
        <option value="3" >Wind</option>
        <option value="4" >Lightning</option>
        <option value="5" >Earth</option>
        <option value="6" >Fire</option>
        <option value="7" >Dark</option>
    
          

        </select> 


that will fix the problem with the element returning to none.

(note that fix only works for the newest version of the element hack)

I have downloaded your attachment... you've said that you named the archive wrong... but I think taht it is really ver 2.0 because inside the files are same as in 2.0!
