RPG Integration Hack v3

RPG Integration Hack v3

RPG Integration Hack (RPG hack for short) v3 is the latest version of the wBB convert of Bitsys' hack with the same name. For those that are unfamiliar with any of what I mentioned above, heres a quick rundown of what this hack is and does.
The RPG hack adds a whole new level of fun to a forum, by allowing uses to duke it out in a fierce battle. Use items to turn the tide of the battle, or use powerful spells to bring down an opponent. Or you can just rely on the good old sword to cut your enemy down to size!
Create or join a clan to amass an army and conquer the boards.
Patch yourself up after a hard battle.
Feeling lucky? Go bet on the lottery!

No RPG forum should be without. Administrator controls every single aspect of how the hack works, right down to every item and an user's level/stat gains.



Requirements/Limitations:
You NEED the uCS hack (uCash & uShop) installed for this hack to work.


Included there is a Features List, which contains a basic lowdown on the current features, so no need for me to list them all here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Due to the Edit Thread Title time has run out, I will use the last number in the Mod Version to indicate Beta and/or Minor build number. I will also indicate what the current version is in the Post Title.


IMPORTANT NOTICE #2!
The way the RPG Stats are calculated changed radically for this version.
Your settings will most likely not work as you expect.
Please enter your AdminCP, then Edit Options under Battle, and change the Modifier to something else.
Recommended values:

• Power level modifier = 2.5
• HP Modifier = 15
• MP Modifier = 1
• PP Modifier = 0.5

The future
I am currently working on v4 of this hack, as revealed in my signature. I have chosen to brand it v4 because it will be a major recode of the core functions of this hack. Not only will it contain all the features listed in the Feature Suggestions thread corresponding to this version, but it will (as the next major vB) be more OOP oriented. If this doesn't make sense to you, then don't worry. For you, the end-user, this will only mean a faster and more feature packed RPG Integration Hack.
I have chosen to set its ETA that far off into the future because I personally have a problem with deadlines for coding projects, especially one as expansive as this. Secondly, it would only be worse if I set it to "Summer 2005" and then fail to deliver, or have to deliver a half-finished, half-featured product. I have every reason to believe I will be able to keep this deadline, because so far, the development is going great.
This version will also contain majorly tweaked templates, as I have recently severely improved my template skills.

The announcement of this development means that with each proceeding file, my ability to provide support for v3 of this file will be lessened. So I suggest you go find those last bugs ASAP
If the onslaught of bugs that are still to be found proves to be larger than what I expect, I will make a "middle-release" branded 3.5, which would contain no new features.
How this plays out, is yet to be seen.



What's new in v3?

• Settings moved to $vboptions for query efficiency
• Multiple exploits in heal.php fixed
• Multiple exploits in Battle Arena fixed
• Advanced installer, capable of:
  • Preserving even your carefully tuned settings into the new version
  • Automatically insert phrases and templates from an .xml file
  • Repair certain parts of your installation (Query Repair currently not working)
  • Examine your version info, and detect if you can upgrade your version (does NOT include any "call home" functions - feel free to check all you want)
  • Uninstall everything concerning databases, NO trace of the hack will remain.
• Query load SEVERELY reduced, especially in showthread.php
• Stat calculations revamped, they are way more fair to newbies now
• And probably something else I forgot at the moment.

I installed it successfully. Had some db errors, but there were standard errors that were fixed easily. Some templates doesn't look to well, gonna fix them up.

[CrimsonDawn]

Is this working in 3.0.8? Every time I install, errors are thrown everywhere. I'm just curious so I dont go wasting any time trying to fix it all up. Thanks for any info!

EDIT: Ignore that, please. I got it working. Problem existed between keyboard and chair... :ermm:

[korny]

Hey Raven, Are you still giving support on version 3.1? Please let me know either way.

I'm just getting a headquarters.php file when trying to do my first update on my character. All of my users are getting the same error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE userfield SET field='Shaggster' WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'field' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054


Thanks, if your not give anymore support please let me know and I won't bother you about errors anymore..

Check the support forum, and youll see 90% of the threads in there are all about that error.
Im just so extremely glad I decided to drop that userfield for the vB3.5 version, this is driving me insane
