Darkwaltz4 & DragonByte Technologies are proud to present the much anticipated and long awaited [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe

Why [DBTech] vBCredits II Deluxe?

vBCredits II Deluxe is the evolution of the points hack that thousands of vBulletin owners have only been dreaming of. Completely rewritten to incorporate three years of requests and improvements, vBCredits II Deluxe is the pinnacle of simplicity and power for casual activity and serious ecommerce engines alike!

vBCredits II Deluxe is the most advanced and feature rich points system ever created. It is the only points system produced by the creator and coder of vBCredits v1-1.4 ? accept no substitutes from impostors.

Why vBCredits II Deluxe is an evolution of the typical points hack of the last decade

The typical points hack installs a standard column to your user table. You are stuck with it, but if you are lucky you can make it switch entirely to a different one.

While vBC2D installs a standard currency, you are free to remove it, and quickly integrate many third party currencies without any technical knowledge. The whole thing is made to be working with multiple currencies especially when they need to work together and the third parties didn't put in a way for that.

The typical points hack installs a couple actions with hardly any way to disable, modify, or add on to them. How they work is different every time.


vBC2D is built around a modular display and action system so actions come in standard formats with standard attributes. They are easy to break off or install more without bothering the main hack for updates. The standardization allows for global features to be available without the need for repeated coding, as well as exposing an API for third parties - all encouraging widespread support. It also means that no matter who made your third party actionset, the settings will automatically be consistent and support all features.

The typical points hack will just blindly add points to user accounts, leaving abuse wide open.

vBC2D records every single transaction and comes with many powerful anti fraud techniques to prevent abuse and limit their effectiveness. Not only are there several ways to qualify user actions, but also ways of obfuscating the system so it is difficult for users to come up with ways to game the system.

The typical points hack is only for earning.

vBC2D supports charging as well as earning for all actions, making the need for a companion shop optional.

The typical points hack is a cryptic mess of settings and math.

vBC2D has been organized in a linear fashion where all related items are in exactly one place. All options are fully explained and you are only ever shown what is relevant. Even advanced and uncommon settings will not be in your way - unless you specifically want to use them. The system holds your hand and it is easy to see exactly what your settings have done and quickly revert them if needed.

The typical points hack gets bloated once you've set up many options.

vBC2D was written in a way to be scalable yet maintain all of its features. A careful watch over database and code was kept to ensure the least amount of impact at all times. So far three big boards have used vBC2D for several months and reported no change in their performance.

The typical points hack is just the same old thing every few months.

vBCredits 1 was the typical points hack, and I had three years of customer support and requests to know what works and what didn't, and what everyone had wished points hacks would do but it just wasn't happening. Finally, vBC2D was written from the ground up and every single request was included in a unified, ultimate package.

Hello, Great amazing mod ! I have a few questions though. Does this have award for posts to be awarded in the postbit like in the 3.8.4 version? Also if this is possible we would have it to come from the central account and not from the user who is giving the post award.

Yes, that is now the Adjust action. Instructions for enabling that are in the readme.txt
However, the concept of a central account has been removed due to widespread confusion and nobody using it. If such a thing were needed later, it could just be calculated.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. I was able to configure the Adjust even perfectly. Would have any ideas how we can do to have it so when an Adjustment has been made to appear in the postbit, sort of like we had it before we would have a currency icon in the postbit bar and it would change or highlite when there was an award given. Also could there be a way to add a transactions log outside of the admincp. I have certain moderators that are in charge of the beli accounts and such but don't really want them in the admincp, basically for them to be able to keep track of the awards and payments.

The distinction to a post has been removed, adjustments just go to the user. You can suggest this and i can try working it in again later.

A transaction log for all users is not on the forum side, but could be put in pretty easily in the next version, thanks.

I talked with a couple people, and it seems the central account was just used for limiting use of admin donate. As a pro feature, all events can have normal limits both in size and number of uses, so if thats what you needed central account for, I think it no longer needs to be

great mod as always.One thing I would like to see is the ability to use any field as the pay check amount I.E. It could be from any field but for example vb experience, where I could list the experience points as the paycheck amount similar to the joint fields you already have but able to use a formula aswell like field experience / 10 for 10% of total experience points etc. or field experience points + field reputation. hope I made that clear what I was trying to get across.
Thanx again for your hard work.

I dont quite understand it.

Do we need to buy the pro version to get the red-colored features or not? It's kinda confusing

Pop-up window destroy my forum layout, because it is open on right side, and I do not use legacy postbit.
Is it possible to open down or left of clickable link?
See picture for better understanding of my problem!
Thank you!
