RPG Integration Hack /w Battle (BETA)

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:

• Zajako's Ultimate HP/MP Stats Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37720)
• Zajako's RPG Elements Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35318)
• Zajako's In battle hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42715)
• Zajako's RPname hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43651)
• DV class hack used with permission of J2K (aka the RPG Class Hack v3.3) ----- (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43558)
• Mewtwo's/Rake's Original Itemshop v5 -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=38090)

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.

Personal shop accounts can go into the negative.(no limit)

I'm member "A", I logon/signin as a new member,"B".
"A" Donates a pile of cash to "B".

Late at nite when nobody's around..
"B" opens a personal shop and sells items for -10,000.
(any negative number will do..)

"A" buys the items which adds 10,000 in his account with every purchase. There is no limit to how much can be taken..

Our solution, no personal shops... (unhappy members)
we'd like to have personal shops,
AND even better, personal shops with battle items that work....

negative number battle wagers is still a problem but only hurts
the person that does it...

how do i fix my battle system?

In the txt you find all the instructions.

What this do?

The original personal shop, allows to have an item the don't do nothing in battle. With this hack, you can build items with bonus in battle (the bonus is in the attack now).

to prevent a user make an item with bonus 9999 selling it at 1 gil, the hack put a cost on the item.
a user spent X gil for 1 point of bonus (the x, is now 10 gil, but it can be modifyed in the admin CP in itemshop options)

to prevent a lvl 1 user, use an item with bonus +1000, the hack set a level for the item (level to use= bonus damage/X) where X is set by the admin by admin CP. Now i set this to 100.


I hope this help you to make more fun your rpg

P.S: If you have trouble, message me. It' s the first time, i modify a hack (really is the first time i program in php ) so be gentle :P

You said

Modifyed files

admin/itemadmin.php
itemshop.php
battleupdate.php

Modifyed Templates

itemshop_persform
itemshop_its


Addad Templates

itemshop_error-nomoney
itemshop_error-alreadyhave

but you didn't say what to modify or add to the templates. It's giving me a parsing error and I think it's because of this. Anyone fix this?

[sweet22]

Version numbers that contain a letter after the number means you only have to re-upload certain files. In this case, I believe you have to re-upload battlefight.php and battleupdate.php, as stated in the first post. I am too sure about this right now though since I still don't have my hard drive back.

It can be done, but not very easily. I would suggest using Telchar's method ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2311 ). or diabling exp per battle post.

What happens when you try to enter the battle? Do you get the same message?

Does the battle show up in the admin CP? Does the opponent get a PM, if so, does it contain the correct information about the battle?

I wish I could look into this problem for ya, but I still don't have my hard drive.

In that case, you may be experiencing a problem that several other users have reported. The problem goes all the way back to the original Itemshop, which this hack also uses. It seems that some people's servers fail to initialize certain variables passed to the donate script by the user. I currently do not have a solution to this problem, but it has been discussed both here and at the Itemshop thread several times, if you want to do a search on it.

A fix for negative battle wagers was posted a while back. I am not sure of the exact location in this thread but it is there.

Negative personal Itemshop items should have been fixed in version .68. Although I can't test this right now (hard drive...), I can see that the code is there:

PHP Code:

                    if ($val3 < 0)
                    {
                        $val3 = 0;
                    } 


So, can you verify that users can put negative costs for personal itemshop items using the latest version of my hack?

Has anyone manipulated their code so you can only select your character once rather than just being able to go there and change your character anytime you want? That is kinda stupid cause then you really don't get a feel of "building" your character. If anyone has manipulated their code, please let me know what you editted so I can change my code too please. Thanks!
