Zero Tolerance's RPG or Gamasoftware's RPG?

[Erwin]

I agree that I also prefer ZT's RPG hack. I actually like the fact that it's in 1 file - easier for me to modify.

I've already modified it to further integrate it into my site - I've already got my own points system, so I'm converting it to use mine.

I'm really only going to use the itemshop, healing, possibly battle and auction, but not the others anyway, so I'll be trimming the php file by a lot.

Also going to make it so that people don't need to make an RPG profile - their normal forum profile will do, and I'll change it so that the items, etc. show up in postbit and forum profile using bbuserinfo profile fields (which is the way it should be).

So for me, I will be using ZT's RPG hack as it is more integrated, and I can modify it to fit my site more.

glad to hear that ^^
I've already finished modifying RPG inferno to be fully integrated with RCS, my future job will also about display RPG status in postbit.

[Erwin]

You integrated Inferno AND RCS? There would be a lot of overlap of features, wouldn't there?

[deathemperor]

not really
if you say it's the store then I won't add the Inferno's actions which are the same as UCS. I integrated Inferno with UCS because I like the way UCS let users get points and those actions in UCS, thief is one of most I can't remove since it's like my members couldn't live without it ^^
I'm waiting curiously for the Inferno v2.

hello,
Erwin you were refering to the integration of RCS with vb, ans you are right, it doesnt fully integrate, i removed the fully integration due to having to recode the software due to vbulletin 3 being so very different.
However, there are plans to make it have integrations that it used to have, like logging battles, and more postbit options... however, i am aiming to finish large features that i want in 1.5 final, like Random battles, and User trading system(which will be integrated into postbits to invite to trade)

One feature i dont plan to re-implement that was a vbulletin integration, is usage of vb templates, the vb template system i feel is quiet inferior to what RCS uses. That may not be the opinion of others, but that is my opinion, and i hold to it. The only thing the vb template system has on it, is the conditionals, however with coding templates you dont really need them.

Also i wanted to note, its not 1 year only, it is one year of updates, you may use the software for life, as long as your only using one copy of it.

Thanks for the clarification zajako.

You've put in a lot of time into your product, and it's a good product. It was just a bit hard for me to modify for my own needs. I modified Inferno extensively and integrated it with the UShop and Petz, and made it all work off the user/ usefield tables so that information show up in the postbit. That would have been very hard with RCS.

[zajako]

heh actualy, since it shares databases, it woulnt be too hard, just query out the info you need, or extend the user query to query the characters by userid. After i get all the core features done, i do plan to beef up the hacks for vb to make it integrate a lot more and provide tons of postbit edits. The truth is, it should integrate as well as you want it to, since they share databases, its just most people dont know how to query, so not a lot of people have made hacks for it... i was kinda glad to see you buy it cause i thought for sure id see some talented hacks for it, but oh well, ill just have to work tons harder so i can get around to make them.

thanks for the compliments though, and hopefully in the future versions you will be pleased enough to find uses for it. Also, when you get a spare moment contact me via aim, i woulnt mind letting you toy with the other softwares, and softwares coming, you've always been a good with your feedback, and i woulnt mind seeing what you have to say about the other stuff in the works.

Hmm i actualy have an idea of making an iframe that can be included into postbits, that lets you scroll through their characters, and if placed nicely would look really good in posts too.

I'll be buying RCS either tonight or tomorrow, and then customizing the heck out of it.

Hmm, I will also be purchasing one of the two RPG battle systems as well, however I am still undecided, I would like to be able to see the rpg battles result posts as posts in one of my forums like Bitseys's did, so I would suggest the devs to possibly add one of those features. I will make my decision sometime this week I hope.

well actually you could use a dropdown that vb 3 now has or make it collapsable
