Add-On Releases - vBookie for vBulletin 4

Please See the first post for a F.A.Q.
I will endevour to link to useful posts within this thread there as I spot them. You should check there before posting issues etc.

This is a port of vBookie for vBulletin 3.5 by Andreas which was a port of vBookie - vBulletin Betting Hack by tjdrico. Permission was given by tjdrico to port this.

vBookie is a 'bookmakers' or betting extension to vBulletin. It enables authorised members to post Events and Outcomes that forum members can bet on. Each Outcome has its own set of odds, and odds can be modified through the life of an Event (bets that are placed are stored with the prevailing odds, so even if the odds change, your users are paid at the correct rate).

Once the results are known, Events can be settled and forums members awarded their winnings.

vBookie uses its own vCash by default, but this has no more use than as 'bragging rights'.

Although vBookie does not have any built-in facility to integrate with any other store hacks, it's a very simple job to hack vBookie itself to integrate it with any store/points system you care to use.

Thanks a bunch for porting this, awesome work.

I don't suppose its possible to transfer members vcash on 3.8 to this on 4?

Could it be something with vbcredits?

I set it to custom and am using their old vbookie integration.

DarkWaltz is in the process of making anoter integration compatible with his new vbcredits II and this vbookie.

[dartho]

@dcuellar - old integration should work assuming the vbcredits hasn't changed too much. I didn't even realise vbcredits is out for vb4 - I'm happy to put support into vBookie for it our of the box.

@bacon butty - you should be able to upgrade and keep (over write fuiles, install new XML) and your vcash balances should be preserved. Backup DB first though

[dcuellar]

I'm part of the beta team for their vbCredits II release. II is a complete rewrite, so yes that would be the case.

Good thing is he is will have the integration ready by the next beta release.

I will let him know about vBookie support out of the box. Perhaps you can join the beta team.

[dartho]

I just need to know where the vbcredits colum is and what it is called to add support. I would guess "vbcredits" on the user table. When you find out, let me know

[Gnoll]

where i am making mistake ?

i used 1.2 1,2 1;2 1:2 still accepting as 1

[dartho]

I don't understand? Do you mean when entering odds? If so, you put whole numbers in both boxes ie. a "1 " in the first and a "2" in the second meaning to win "1" you must bet "2"

i want to make 1.25 / 1

bet 1 won 1.25 , or bet 1 won 1.36

[dartho]

You would have to bring it up to whole numbers

1.25 = 5/4
1.36 = 34/25
