Aerith's Mage Types Version 2 - Need's BETA Testing

Aerith's Mage Types Version 2.0.0

Yes it's been a long wait but it's finally here. Please note that I haven't had the time to test this on a live board yet, so please report any bugs that occurr.

This hack is really designed for RPG communities (such as Final Fantasy for example). It is a great improvement over it's predecessor. Users now have their own RPG Control Panel where the can customize aspects of their RP character. In this Control Panel they can choose their Job Class, Charcter Gender, Character Race, Attack Element, Alignment (side) as well as giving their character a name (done by SQL not by additional profile fields) and a biography.

Also in this version Users also get their own RPG Card. The RPG Card is another Member Profile, however it only displays the Users RPG information. This stops Member Profiles being cluttered with RPG related items. There is also the option to show the Job Class on the postbit template, however it's entirely up to you whether you do or not.

UPDATING FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION:

I'm afraid if you have my previous version (1.0.0 or higher) then you'll have to manually remove everything that was added. This is simply because I started this version from scratch, and a few things are different.

INSTALATION:

A file named install.txt is included within the .zip pack that contains all information on how to install. This time it uses an installer script so you don't have to worry about executing queries manually.

OTHER HACKS INCORPORATED:

This hack also uses Knoman's Stats & Levels hack. However it is incorporated into the RPG Card system, so if you already have his hack running then you do not need to remove it. Thanks must be given to Knoman for allowing me to use the hack.

OTHER:

Please please please read through the other .txt files included within the .zip . They each contain important information that you need to read before you even begin to install the hack.

SCREENSHOTS:

Like I said I haven't had time to run this script yet, so I haven't had time to take screenshots either. I'll try and add them as soon as possible.

SPECIAL THANKS:

Thanks goes to all these people:

-> Knoman for granting me permisson to use and modify his Stats & Levels hack within the production of this hack.
-> TWTCommish for producing one of the first vB Install scripts.
-> CraterSeraph for all his help along the way
-> afterlab for the constant inspiration
-> [D]Vincent for building on my first Job Class hack and throwing some more ideas into the fray. Even if we aren't exactly on level terms, he still inspired me to build this version.
