Major Additions - Casino (w/ 10 player poker)

The Gameroom is the follow up to this, and expands on its features. This mod will no longer be supported, Gameroom is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=219483

This is a casino addition for vBulletin, so far containing video poker, blackjack, Slots, a lottery, Let 'em Ride, Roulette and a betting pool.

It can use it's own cash as well as cash fields from other products for easy integration. Cash bonuses are also awarded for various actions (posting, starting threads, etc.), you can alter the bonus values through the admincp.

Each of the 10 games can be turned on or off through the control panel, and the casino can be restricted by user group.

I'd consider this a test run, everything should work, but some of the template's and all of the phrasing are not done yet.

Screenshots are attached.

If you want to see a demo, it's live at http://vbgaming.org, it does require registration though as it needs a userid to attach your money too Bug reports and requests can also be posted there, and will probably have less chance of getting buried in this rather massive thread. If you are having a problem, please look there. If it is one that others have been having, there will likely be a solution there (as well as in this thread, just harder to find here)

v 0.90 (Jan 6)
- Fixed a bug in lottery odds calculation that was casuing problems with the jackpot.
- Completed Phrasing of all games & admincp
- Removed card flicker some people experienced in Texas Hold'em
- Removed unused table limit setting from Video Poker settings
- Handled a DB error that occasionally came out of the slots game
- Sports Pool groups are now edited through the game, not the admincp
- Blackjack: Dealer checks for blackjack on A or 10
- Blackjack: Added Five card charlie rule
- Texas Hold'em: poker mod groups can now use the command "/kick username" to kick people out of the game. If a hand is in progress it counts as a forced fold, not returning their share of the pot.
- Blackjack - Fixed bug on bet amount when splitting more then once on a hand

v 0.91 (Jan 13)
- Added missing field for holdem mod groups to settings table
- Removed 0.90 test code of drawin same numbers in lottery
- Piped all the ajax files through casino.php, this should solve some of the conflicts people where having (ex. mkportal)
- Added missing link to add / edit groups in sports pool
- Fixed extra \'s in chatbox some users where getting
- Added a reset cash button in the ACP
- Fixed a bug where the blackjack_dealt table wasn't getting cleared properly
- Fixed "Most Lost" stat calculation


v 0.92 (Feb 18)
- Fixed Default Cash not saving
- Texas Hold'em no longer shows hand after folding
- Texas Hold'em buttons should not reappear after clicking if a request was in progress when they where clicked
- Fixed some of the reinstall issues people have been having

This is pretty minor, working on some major changes to the Texas Hold'em game that are taking longer then I planned due to other things coming up.

Known issues:
- The same player attempting to play more then one instance of the same game at the same time will cause errors.

To update overwrite all of the old files and import the product, revert any modified (casino) templates and don't forget the files in other folders Also some of the images have changed, those need uploaded again. (as well as the includes and admincp files) You DO NOT need to uninstall the previous version to upgrade, this will cause problems. Just overwrite existing files and import the product again, allowing overwrite.

**Make sure you overwrite ALL existing files and revert ALL casino templates**

Having trouble with my casino, the game settings for casino show each day 3 times, the lottery keeps taking money and then doesnt make a draw. Im pretty new to vbulletin and so am pretty confused with this. Anyone know what could be wrong?

I'd highly advise anyone thinking putting this mod on a high traffic forum to NOT DO IT while it's still in BETA.

There are a lot of bug in here and one pretty serious security flaw.

Here's the security flaw, users can craft a link that takes money from people by issuing the following:

Upgraded from vb3.7 beta 5 to 3.7 beta 6 and now have javascript error saying program needs ajax to work and javascript isn't recognized when selecting games, and no images appear anywhere. Everything worked fine on vb 3.7 beta 5, no javascript errors and all images appeared.

I don't think I changed anything, except what install said, when I installed originally, so I just made changes when reverted some templates - navbar and postbit templates after update per install text.

Was using .92 version of casino so downloaded it again and have tried reinstalling several times to correct problem. Even tried clearing cache.

Any suggestions as to why I'm now getting an error saying there is an ajax problem and I must have javascript activated when it is activated? Using latest FireFox.

I'm running beta 6 now too, sometimes it says it needs ajax to work, but when staying in the screen a minute, things are going fine. It only happens to me in the Poker lounge and only if I've been in there before.

One of my users can nog use any of the 3 slot machines anymore. He is getting this notice in Firefox and in IE:
Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /casino/slots.php on line 85

Any idea?
Most other users including myself don't have any problems with the slot machines.

You and they are fortunate. It doesn't matter how long I stay in any section of the Casino mod, no images appear so a game can be played.

I'm testing on a https server setup and after updating to beta 6 I lost ALL images and got the javascript/ajax error I mentioned above when using FF. Re-uploading files made no difference.

Does anyone know if VB made several changes to ajax in beta 6?

UPdate: Fixed. Operator error in cpanel.

thanks alot

I have the Donations turned off in the AdminCP... I tried this and it gave me the "you don't have access" page. I haven't done any further testing. But if what you say is true, just turn off the Donations in the AdminCP and it is fixed!

And there are alot of bugs in ALL mods and programs... but I wouldn't discredit just one mod because of that. however, I wouldn't recommend installing any mod or program on any high traffic site unless it is tested prior...

I've been swamped these last few weeks, so I apologise for not being around much, things should get back to normal in a few days (I hope)

Yes, someone could craft a URL that took money away from someone, if that person clicked the link. It's a bit of a bug, but I'd not call it a security issue, "stealing" fake money is not going to compromise your site...

[csavern]

I get this line 3 times at the top of the page

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in /casino/slots.php on line 85

any one know how to fix this problem

Edit: doesn't matter, all is working now
