RPG Integration Hack - Old Support Thread

Nice conversion there mate, lot of work has gone into it so well done and thanks for sharing it

[Dyntheos]

I changed the postbit to either display a drop down or not at all. ( not at all is simply removing the normal post bit code from the template and leaving just the drop down portion. )

I once checked update and change postbit, and the whole thing froze on me. Seemed like the character was bugged, couldn't load up the cp again. I tried to log into other accounts with other characters and they worked fine.

I had to delete the character from the admin cp before I could even look at the RPG options page again for that account. So I put in that warning not to do what I did, just so someone down the track wouldn't run into the same problem, and require thier character to be deleted.

Thanks for the answers to my questions Revan your support is great :up:

yeah Revan you're truth! that was it! thx

Now we can fight and battle, but we always take dmg around 33 ?? Nobody can use the bought weapon or take lesser dmg with a armor??!?!

And yes, the support is seem like the hack, awesome

That seems like a major error, but never ever happened to me (like most of the bugs with this hack ).
But its good that you put such a warning, although I cannot understand why it should make a difference, the $_POST[rpgdisplay] (or whatnot the display code is) is always a part of the selection update code no matter if you change it or not...
Ah well as long as this isnt global error and your users are fine, all is well

you should enter your ACP and set all Item categories to their true values, no matter what the dropdown says. (IE change Weapons to 'Weapons' in the Edit Category from the Edit Items section in acp).
This is a part of the pre-configuring that will be more thoroughly explained in future versions when the Admin Help section is up and running

@ the both of you:
Thanks for the kind words about my support, I try my best to clean up any mess this hack has made



A more public question:
Would it be a great loss (if any) to have to edit items individually instead of mass editing like it is now?
I find that this way of displaying items is VERY (!) SQL intensive, my site actually lags when I edit items thru acp (I got alot ).
So it would be easier on the server if the main edit item could just display all item INFO only (instead of editing info as well, like the old), and it had a clickable link next to each item so it could be edited.
Only reason why I ask is that its more hassle this way if you going to edit multiple items... :ermm:

I'm getting some wierd stuff. After making posts the characters stats are amazingly high, but once I update the go back down. I'm not sure if this is a display error for the dropdown postbit I made or a known error.

[Revan]

(I assume you are talking about PP/AP)
You should enter ACP and lower the Modifiers for PP and MA to 0.003.
Actually uneven HP/MA/PP stats is a very known (to me ) fault in the code, and I am working on a new and more fair way of updating and adding stats.

Also, whats a good level of EXP per post?

Sorry but I didn't understand.

I don't change any values in the Item categories:
And the drop down says always "current"
So I've to change all things to "Weapon", "Armor" or "Accessories" ??

And then we can use the Weapons, and the Armor protect us???

[Revan]

No, dont edit the items themselves.
You see when you edit items, next to the category names theres edit and delete links?
Click edit.
Then under Battle Type, select "One-handed weapons" for the one handed weapons, "Armor" for the armor, etc.

I use 5, this is something you should determine yourself based on the integer you put in the "ease of level up" part (I forgot the real phrase it uses, sue me ), and on your own feeling of how hard it should be to level up

I tryed installing this hack back in 1.3 something and got un countable errors. Is this version more stable??

[Dyntheos]

I haven't had any problems on install apart from making sure you have full admin rights when running the install script.
