Rap Battle System -=RBS=-

Ladys and Gentlemen, i give you, The Rap Battle System -=RBS=-


Many people have been requesting this so here it is. Took along time so im hoping it becomes a popular hack :nervous:



Features

Hmmm there are a few. Select the forum which the battle hack works in via the admin cp
Can edit a users win/loss record via the admincp aswell.

When someone wins a battle it automatically adds it to their win count and the opposite if they lose

The thread does not auto close because in my many years of experience people like to post/argue on after a battle is won or lost.

Erm oh and you submit your favourite line from the battle and it will get added to a database, then lines are randomly shown on the forum homepage.

Check the installation.txt for the full list, Also there is loads more features to come. Hopefully some people will release some addons maybe

Screenshot time wohoo

Oh yeah, the install button is your friend

i was looking forward to this too... to bad I didn't seen all these bugs until after I've installed it.

to bad, could be a dope hack if you can fix the minor bugs

[???`S?LV?R???`]

Yeah, that's what I heard about this hack too... that's basically what's been keeping me from installing it.

This is too cool. I didnt even know I needed this until I saw it.

[KingPooky]

First of all, I want to thank you for creating this hack. It's cool as hell, and best of all, easy to install.

For those of you who are having problems with normal, everyday polls being closed whenever someone votes, I believe I have found the solution.

Open POLL.PHP and find

PHP Code:

        //RBS
        $battlesys = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "battlesys_battles WHERE pollid = '".$pollinfo['pollid']."'");
        $votestowin = $battlesys['votestowin'];
        $splitoptions = explode("|||", $pollinfo['options']);
        $maxvotes = 0;
        $leastvotes = 0;
        foreach ($splitvotes as $number => $vote)
        {
            global $maxvotes;
            global $leastvotes;
            global $splitoptions;
            if ( $vote > $maxvotes ) {
                $maxvotes = $vote;
                $winner = $splitoptions[$number];
                global $winner;
            }
            if ( $vote < $leastvotes or $vote == 0 ) {
                $leastvotes = $vote;
                $loser = $splitoptions[$number];
                global $loser;
            }
        }
        if ( $maxvotes >= $votestowin )
        {
            $DB_site->query_first("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll SET active = '0' WHERE pollid = '".$pollinfo['pollid']."'"); //close poll
            //$winnerinfo = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username = '".$winner."'");
            $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET bs_wins = bs_wins + 1 WHERE username = '".$winner."'");
            $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET bs_loses = bs_loses + 1 WHERE username = '".$loser."'");
            
        }
        //RBS 


And replace with

PHP Code:

        //RBS
        $battlesys = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "battlesys_battles WHERE pollid = '".$pollinfo['pollid']."'");
        if($battlesys)
        {
            $votestowin = $battlesys['votestowin'];
            $splitoptions = explode("|||", $pollinfo['options']);
            $maxvotes = 0;
            $leastvotes = 0;
            foreach ($splitvotes as $number => $vote)
            {
                global $maxvotes;
                global $leastvotes;
                global $splitoptions;
                if ( $vote > $maxvotes ) {
                    $maxvotes = $vote;
                    $winner = $splitoptions[$number];
                    global $winner;
                }
                if ( $vote < $leastvotes or $vote == 0 ) {
                    $leastvotes = $vote;
                    $loser = $splitoptions[$number];
                    global $loser;
                }
            }
            if ( $maxvotes >= $votestowin )
            {
                $DB_site->query_first("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "poll SET active = '0' WHERE pollid = '".$pollinfo['pollid']."'"); //close poll
                //$winnerinfo = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username = '".$winner."'");
                $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET bs_wins = bs_wins + 1 WHERE username = '".$winner."'");
                $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET bs_loses = bs_loses + 1 WHERE username = '".$loser."'");
                
            }
        }    
        //RBS 


This should fix that problem. Enjoy!

I was going to install this until I saw all the bugs! Still, great job by the author for offering this for free. But hopefully someone can either update this hack or another author can use this to make another one with perhaps more features?

[Pro]

Any future releases???

i'd be willing to help out if you need it MindTrix...

i'll take it and install it - see what comes out... any add-ons or bug fixes i come up with - i'll keep you informed...

thanks for the hack!

[James T Brock]

Pro, I think the original author got frustrated and abandoned the project. If you could improve on his script, I think most people, the original author included, would be greatly appreciative!

[Pro]

hmmm... there's been like 160 Downloads and only 39 installs???

CLICK INSTALL!!! GIVE PEOPLE CREDIT!

If you don't click Install people won't be helping out with this System!

[Romeos Tune]

That's because people have had to uninstall the hack because of errors........

Yeah, i'm currently testing it on thesirkle.com...

hopefully i'll have some good additions, bug fixes, etc. within the next week.

i'm taking a big risk with it on my site as a live hack - but oh well... i'm also testing it myself on another site as well... private site... hopefully i can get some bugs out, make it better, etc.

ANY ADDITIONS you guys would want - let me know... i can only try - but hopefully i'll get it!

I havn't found any errors yet... can you enlighten me? i know the POLL was one - but someone threw a fix for that up already...

[Romeos Tune]

You can read through the thread and see.... Let's see..... I had one where it wasn't updating the losses and couldn't figure out why..... I didn't try the poll fix 'cuz I just figured I'd wait 'til it's final or I start seeing positive feedback....

(1) Needs KO's along with wins and loses.

(2) A better stats system so that it counts top 10 users, who has the most KO's, most loses, best win percentage.

(3) I've seen the script in action and have it downloaded, but have been reluctant to install it on my forums until the original author (or someone else) is willing to support it. Does the current script allow the amount of votes to be set to any number we want, or does it have to stay at five? I want to be able to set it at twenty votes.

[DaPro]

Could you make it so, that if you install this hack for a forum that has child forums that it works in also those child forums. Make it an option tho because I am sure not all people want it like that, could just be me .

[James T Brock]

Is anyone at all still working on this thing? I posted a paid request in the services forum, and no-one took me up on my offer to recieve money just for modifying this code for a few simple custom features.
