RPG Integration Hack /w Battle (BETA)

RPG Integration Hack BETA by Bitsys
(vBulletin versions 2.2.6?, 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0)

This hack combines several RPG hacks into one and adds a battle hack. The hacks included in this hack are:

• Zajako's Ultimate HP/MP Stats Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37720)
• Zajako's RPG Elements Hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35318)
• Zajako's In battle hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42715)
• Zajako's RPname hack -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43651)
• DV class hack used with permission of J2K (aka the RPG Class Hack v3.3) ----- (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=43558)
• Mewtwo's/Rake's Original Itemshop v5 -----(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=38090)

In addition to re-releasing thse hacks, I have added features to all of them (or else there would be no point in re-releasing).

• The RPG hacks are now all editable via the admin control panel.
• The itemshop has been somewhat optimized and some fixes are included that reduce queries in showthread.php and itemshop.php . Also, Lesane's Store Hack has been integrated with the Itemshop. This can be toggled in the admin cp.

This means that the RPG hacks are database driven and have been partially integrated with the Itemshop. This was necessary in order to make a battle hack, which is also included.

Since most people are familiar with the RPG and Itemshop hacks, I will give a brief description of the Battle hack. If you want more information about either of the other two hacks, then refer to their original posts or download the .zip file and read the "readme.txt". If you are a visual learner, then you can scroll down to the second post in this thread, which contains the pictures of all of these hacks.


Battle Features:

• The battle format is turn-based.
• HP, AP, PP, and MA are automatically deducted based on what action a user takes, the damage dealt to an opponent, etc.
• Opponents in battle can use spells, one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, shields, potions, or their fists.
• A battle is over when a combatant dies, retreats, or there is a draw. Battles can also be ended via the admin control panel.
• A wager can be set on a battle. Whoever wins the battle recieves the amount of money as specified in the wager. Outside bets are not supported yet.
• Battles can be either public or private, as determined by the admin control panel. If private, battles require a password and battles can not be browsed. If public, then any user can view any battle, but only the original combatants can fight.
• The results of a battle can be posted into a designated "Battle" forum, as specified in the admin control panel.
• Inactive battles can be pruned.

Getting started with the battle hack:

• In order to get items to disply in the item shop, you must select which items go with which RPG Type in the "Edit Item Type" Menu of the admin cp.
• In order to assign which weapon categories do what kind of damage in battle, you must go to the "Edit Category" link located in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. Select a Battle type for the category and save changes.
• In order to do damage to your opponent when in battle, you must assign the amount of damage each weapon does in the "Edit Items" menu of the admin cp. The default damage is set to 0. The same principle goes for armor, potions, spells, shields, etc.

Please refer to the screenshots or "readme.txt" for more information.


Why is this a BETA hack?

I have tested the installation of this hack on vBulletin versions 2.2.7, 2.2.8, 2.2.9, and 2.3.0. However, because of the scale of this hack, there is plenty of room for errors. Therefore I am making the following disclaimer while this hack is in the BETA stage:


WARNINGS:

• Do not install this hack on a production board. Please keep this hack, while in the BETA stage, to a test board. The reason for not installing this on a production board is that I cannot provide upgrade instructions for going from one version of the beta hack to the next version of the beta hack. Also, this hack does not have an un-install script yet. So please remember, if you decide to install this on a production board, you are doing so at your own risk.
  
• Do not apply this hack if you already have ANY of the included hacks installed. Please refer to the list at the top to see if you have any of the conflicting hacks installed. Since I am asking that you install this on a test board right now, this should not be a problem since you can re-install a fresh copy of vBulletin in under 5 minutes, as a test board of course.
  
• There is currently no upgrade script for installing this over any of the included hacks. I will make one when this beta is completed.
  
• If you choose to install the postbit features, then an additional query will be added to showthread.php. This query is a SELECT COUNT(*) query and adds around .001 seconds to the page generation. If you don't like the idea of adding an additional query to showthread.php, then you have the option of not installing that part of the hack. See the install file for more information.

Miscellaneous:

The beta of this hack is free. The full/final release will also be free.

All installation instructions and credits are included in the attachment. If you find a bug or have problems, feel free to post them here and I will try to fix them. Please read the included readme file if you have questions. If you can't find the answer, then post your question here and I will answer it.

All hacks included in this hack have been re-released with permission of their original creators.

Screenshots are in the second post of this thread.


Installation:

Installation instructions are included in the .zip file.


ACKK! I NEED HELP!!!

If you are having trouble and need some help, please refer to the help documentation included in the .zip file. It is located in the "extra" directory.

If you need help and you have already installed the hack, make sure you check the RPG Manual link in the admin cp. Also, make sure you read the FAQ included with the manual.

MY THREADS STOPPED DISPLAYING CORRECTLY!!!
See if you are experiencing one of the following symptoms:

• All of my users are being labeled as "Guest" in the postbit template.
• No posts are showing up.
• None of the RPG variables will display in the postbit. The element/gender/class images are broken.
• I get database errors when I go to showthread.php

If you are experiencing one or more of the above problems, then your showthread.php file was not edited correctly by the installer. This problem usually occurs on boards with other hacks installed that modify the queries in showthread.php. Please go to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2261 and follow the instructions there.

ok thats fine. All I need is that Itemshop mod by Darkwaltz and i can open

[Mystic Gohan]

chrisz you didnt come up with the idea of member list of RPG stats that was sonic3d

[chrisz]

I didnt say i did. I said i would like it.
Also is there any way to limit the Battle Sytem and Itemshop to certain member groups. (I need this or my whole RPG is ruined)
I dont want people who dont want to play the RPG to use them so is there any way I can do this?

At the top of battleupdate.php, battlefight.php, battle.php, and heal.php you will find code that checks to see if the user is in the correct usergroup. It looks something like:

PHP Code:

If ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 3 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 4 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1){ 


All you need to do is add the usergroup that you don't want to have access to the rpg battle system. Like this:

PHP Code:

If ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 3 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 4 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1 && $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != XX){ 


replace XX with the ID that you don't want to have access. When someone from this usergroup goes to the pages, they will get a no permission screen.

If you want to cut off access to other files, then it will take a little bit more work. You will have to add similar code to itemshop.php, rpgcp.php, and rpgmanual.php. If you don't want them to be able to select the different races/classes/genders in their profile, then you will have to edit member.php to show a simple "You cannot access this feature" message in all of the drop-down boxes.

Bitsys, how safe is the battle hack for a public board?

[Moreliator]

Bitsy,
Then would it be possible to add a function that causes a user's character to lose lets say 5 levels if they switch their character?

Thanks again bitsy, you've outdone youself!

[chrisz]

Well when i used the latest version there were only little bugs it worked fine after I fixed them.
By the way thnx again Bitsys
EDIT: Is there anyway to have twin battles like 2 vs 2?
Say there is one team and they do whaever they do normally but the can pick who to attack and they cant attack until they are both ready. Then the other team goes and so on and so forth.

[Darkwaltz4]

ahhh the itemshop--my fav part of the whole rpg hack, and yeah...ive done tons to it....*sits down and takes out pipe*

since itemtype is determined by rpgtype from class, simply place $bbuserinfo[rpgtype] at the end of any link to the itemshop. so, when clicking it, you auto-go to your type's itemshop. u may want to go into itemshop.php and add that url ending to all the redirects too, so when someone purchases, sell, whatever, it kicks them to their itemshop. there are also a few templates you can do this to as well, like the bank 'itemshop' link in the navline

i did this because my members never found where they could get their items from. clicking the itemshop returned them to the empty page, and some confusing links at the bottom. i got rid of the links, and added to the itemshop.php page, to figure out what type ppl were, and it would display it at the top of the page. 'You are currently a Magician Type' for instance. i also had to make a separate display variable for which shop you are in, so it would say something like 'As a Fighter Type, you have these items available for purchase'
later, i added a redirect link next to the 'ur a whatever type' in case you werent in your itemshop. at the very bottom of the page, i have links to the other itemshops, cause ppl like to know what theyre missin

i wrote an itemshop faq (which needs rewriting now...) so i included a link to the top to avoid questions. if someone was registered, it would say 'edit ur character' under the what type you are. when not registered, it would say 'You are currently a person without a type' and there would be a register-now line under it. tons of fun little edits. i also worked on my editprofile page, and added a target to it, so that i could post links to directly edit character stuff....(cause absolutely no one could figure it out -_-)

also, u should set up a rpg type which has no classes on it, called 'Certain Type' (so it says, you need to be a certain type to purchase) and have all items available through it--this creates a 'see-all' store, so anyone without a character can see it, or with direct links-- to do this, go into itemshop.php, and find where it says

PHP Code:

if($itemtype == "")
        $itemtype = "0"; 


and add the typeid of your combo itemshop...(so its not 0)

with all that said and done....heres my itemshop...(326 items, 14 categories, all item types available)

http://ffgods.ffextreme.com/forums/itemshop.php

in regards to the summons addon, i _somehow_ broke battlefight.php, but there are 2 weird things going on with it: even the original file says this error, and it says the error is on the line AFTER ALL THE OTHER LINES (past ?>) so...-_- ill gotta hunt that out...

[mli]

Ok, I installed this hack and I have two major problems:

1. The RPG ControlPanel does not work correctly. There are no statistics. Everything is blank. It's like it doesn't actually read the user's stats. It can't find them or something....

2. The healing center does not work for some people including me. It says +5% HP $11 and I choose that. Then I click Heal me. And it doesn't do anything...

[mr e]

darkwaltz, that means there is a missing } somewhere in the code
