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.

If you are mad about it do not use it. A software's not having support or being buggy does not justify your pirating it, you have every right to NOT TO USE it in such incidents.

I beg to differ. I have had this hack running on my site since June. My boards have over 12,000 members, and with the help of bitsys we have been able to work through all the main glitches. I just upgraded to version .68 of the RPG hack last night and everything still works - so I disagree with your statement that this hack has a lot of bugs.

And bitsys is now busy doing hacks for vb 3, so I wouldn't expect much more out of this hack for version 2.x.x besides what addons other members may make. I will be working on multiple addons these next few weeks as my board is about to do an rpg reset (all the members asked to start over and I am redoing formulae and blanace issues.)

Anyway, I just want to tell you that I am living proof this hack is successful and can be successful with just a little effort on the user-end. Instead of complaining about glitches, try to figure them out yourself, or do a search. Chances are, most of the glitches listed have been solved already in the past, or they were caused by a careless mistake - i.e., if you just installed an addon and are now getting a arse error, instead of posting it here, upload your backup and retry. You probably forgot a bracket or semi-colon, and to say the hack is fool of glitches is foolish.

Sure, its not perfect, but its good enough. I for one am extremely grateful to bitsys for his hard work and dedication to this hack. It has been a very enjoyable ride for me as well as a learning experience.

My 2 cents is now over :P

Also it is in the Beta section after all

[Vivi Ornitier]

hey bitsys, i've had this hack running for lord knows how long now, but somehow, one day i got these very odd errors.

First error:

The threads int he battle forum which posts all the battle results. Now post it in the format

A
A
A
A
A
A
B
B
B
B
B
B

instead of the normal

A
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
.
.
.

THat was odd, i never changed anything, just oen day it magically appeared like that.

Problem 2:

Beside a user's inventory, to the right of all their items, it says "timeout 100". I have no clue how it got there but it just appeared after i added some new items . . . but that shouldn't be a problem right?

[Alcatraz]

`Thanks Bitsys for the hack I'll install after I renew vb! Thanks for everything and I hope I get no errors IF I find a way to fix them I'll let somebody know! Thanks everybody!
