Major Additions - Realm Conquest System

This Conquest System is very similar to the vBarmy system, except it has a few specific fundamental changes. Instead of every player working alone to fight other players, players work together as a single nation to fight other players who are members of different nations. Everything else in the system is pretty much self-explanitory.

Did you check out all the suggestions made so far? Perhaps a compiled list would be easier... But several of my users requested a countdown clock that shows the next cycle

I have a few questions:

1) How do you remove a nation? I do not see any options to do this.
2) I saw vbArmy. Is this basically the same thing only better?
3) How do I remove the link on the navbar (without removing or commenting $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left])? I have an additional navbar and want this there.

There's an option in ACP to turn off the link in the navbar. If you want to add the link somewhere else, just add it manually.

When I try to attack it says I don't have permission to do that.

My solution for the countdown clock only works for if you're cycles are under an hour. It went wrong on my forum because for some reason it says you're getting it in an hour, and sometimes the whole clock isn't correct either.... Anyways, here's the simple solution:

add this somewhere in the conquest.php file. Search for :

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'homebase') 


under the { add:

PHP Code:

$time = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."conquest_gameset");
    $next = ($time[gLastCycle] + (60 * $time[gCycleMinutes])) - time();
$player[nextTurn] = date('i:s', $next); 


Then anywhere in your homebase template add something like "Next turn: $player[nextTurn]"

Thank you, I will check into that. What about my other 2 questions?

1) I cant find the option either. I havent looked at the database but i guess the query for deleting a nation would be something like: DELETE FROM TABLE_PREFIXconquest_nations WHERE nID = <id> (not sure about this)

2) it's based on the idea, it's not the same.

3) Been answered already

EDIT:

If anyone is using kbank on their forum too, i made an item for the shop to give turns when you buy it

this hack is a beautiful thing i have it up and running on my forums...there shuld be a way to leave an alliance...

[BlueNinjaGo]

Suggestions:
A way to delete factions from the frontend.
A way for users to leave the entire sytem all together. (Maybe with an option so admins can choose if users can rejoin again, and if so, after x days)
A way for users to opt out of PM's.(Some are getting annoyed by them)
Some sort of disadvantage for having an army too large... like an upkeep cost similar to the spy.
