RPG Integration Hack v3.5.1 Patch Level 2

[/high]
RPG Integration Hack (RPG hack for short) v3.5.1 is the first step into the next generation of the classic hack compiled by Bitsys. 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.

I'm actually running 3.7.2, so I'm kind of skeptical to install this because last time I installed it on 3.7.0., and even with the suggested fixes, I saw a few crazy errors.

You have given me some hope though haha, so maybe I'll make another dev board for my forum and test it on that.

I have this running great on my forum and my membership is very happy with it.

The only issue I find can be annoying is the fact that a post is needed upon level up to increase HP/MP levels...

Does anyone know a way to bypass this?

Thanks

FYI: Copying the contents of the 'rpg_stats' template into the 'rpg_postbit' or 'rpg_postbit_legacy' template will show stats in your postbit after adding $rpg_postbit or $rpg_postbit_legacy to whichever template your forums draw from

Hrm. I tried to install it on my forum using the patch, but it actually wound up killing my reply features. It would just go to a blank white page. Same with trying to use any of the other pages that it enables. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

[tigrattack]

I would say a fresh install may help...

I had to do it 3 times before getting it to work properly...had to go into the SQL and remove all instances referring to the rpg hack.

Read back a few pages for help doing this

I have it working so far on 3.7.3, i made sure to append the install files with the files attached earlier.

I've went through a lot of the posts and tried a search, but did anyone post some improved postbit code of their own? The neomateria forums appear to be closed.

Anyone try Private Messaging the developer? He was online a while ago.

Update: That particular file was not agreeing with some rules on my host (HostGator), and I had to contact them to correct the issue.

Can anyone help, I can't access the Class Manager, I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admincp/rpg_classes.php on this server.

I've tried reuploading the file and checking the permissions (which are the same as all the other working files). It's only that section that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I had supplied the updated class installer patch before doing the fresh install as well.

Any suggestions for a formula to specify weapon/armor specs?

For instance perhaps weapon Cost/20 = Strength?

EDIT: Also, does anyone know where I can edit or disable this addon giving $10 per post?

My existing money system was handling that and gave me more control, and now my economy is getting a bit off balance with this hack giving relatively large bonuses in all areas of the forum.

Question:

Do we replace original files with the patched files?

Or do we actually create directories and copy the patch files to those directories like this:

\upload\installer\class_installer.php
\upload\installer\hacks\rpg_integr_hack\install.ph p

* also, aren't these supposed to be forward slashes?

I have a user getting the same Invalid Battle bug, is there any work around?

From what I understand, 3.6+ has trouble with the mod unless you install it in 3.5, then upgrade to 3.6. Kinda a pain in the butt, but I believe others have it working. I'm still on 3.5, so it's been rather easy for me.

I use iCash and it seems to work fine. It works for any points system as long as you put in the proper "money" names in.

My two biggest concerns are:

1. The invalid battle bug users get, when they get stuck in a battle with monster in the monsterarena

2. The invalid battle bug users get when they can't battle another person

3. And one of the biggest, the fact that any secondary categories don't work. For example, I have created 3 additional Spell Slots for the users, so they can have a choice of 4 different spells at one time. The first spell category works great...but every additional spell slot doesn't work. That goes for potions, items, etc. If I have more than one, no dice. This is kinda frustrating, as I think the base number is kinda limited since they can't select more than one item in battle.

If anyone has any fixes to this....I would appreciate the help. And obviously, there's other people that need to know as well, so if you know how to handle these situations, then please feel free to help us out.
