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:

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.


Add-ons:
The following add-ons are not included in the default installation. You must apply these add-ons after you have installed the hack successfully.

Member profile add-on
This add-on let's you display the user's RPG Stats in their member profile. See the .zip file for the add-on. It is located in the "Member Profile Add-on" directory.

Auto-update stats after posting
This add-on automatically updates the user's stats after they make a post, instead of having to click on the update stats button in the user cp. This add-on involves 2 file edits. The add-on is located at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...452#post356452

What gives you the right to tell me what is lame??
We are working hard on this and is it a crime to want to have a forum that is different?? Have something no one else has??
Everywhere I look I see this hack and I want my forum to be different. Bitsys didnt have to release this but he did. He had a choice and so do I. If I do release it I will release it to a select few and people like you can go get ++++ed.

wooo chris... cool it pal.. it's already nice of you to give out the battle scenes. its totally up to you if you are gonna release the addon or not... don't get too ++++ed with unreasonable people

Interesting problem. It seems when somebody logs into my board and modifies their profile. They select their race, element, alignment, and gender, but it goves them nothing to choose from on the "class" list. However, if an Administrator logs in, he can select anything he wants. The is the same if the user is a "registered", "moderator" or whatever. Only an "Administrator' can select a class.

What am I missing?
Are all of your classes set to visible or not visible?

Yes 2 places in the profile part of the usercp I'm using 2.3.0.....

so there are 2 sets of classes etc etc
Go to your modifyprofile template and delete the top-most duplicates.

Question: When adding classes, how does the system know what image to display for the class I enter. I saw noplace to include an image filename like I did when adding battle fields. This question also applies the the "add/edit elements" section as well.

There is a column called "folder". Place the icon information in there. Mine says things like: mclasses/archerm, mclasses/archmagem, etc. No file extension is needed, since it must be a .gif.

Also, Can somebody please give me a screenshot of the Add a class area (one that has been filled out already) so I know I am doing it right? Also, one for the "Edit Alignment" area as well?

See the attached file.

for sure bitsys i already double check come to my forum try battle you will see it

quote:

Are you sure this is the case? The battle should take money out of the user's bank account first, then it should take it out of their pocket. The winner's money is then deposited in their bank accounts. Make sure you are checking the bank account and not just the user's pocket. I just tested this and it worked for me.

Ok, I will be checking on it in a little bit.

Also, Bitsy, is there a way to have assign unique characters? Like lets say I only want to make a certain character available for a special member...is that possible?

That is not currently possible.

I've run into a few problems lately, so I've decided to uninstall it until it's no longer a beta hack. I can do most of this on my own, but I'm sure that I'm going to run into a few problems once I try removing all of the edits in the mysql db. I can remove all of the rpg related tables, but weren't several of the original tables edited? If that's true, then can somebody tell me how to undo those edits? Thanks.

You will have to go into phpmyadmin and delete the columns that were added to the user table and userfield table.

Wow bharvey42, you sure know how to talk to others. -_-;

Um, chriz, if ya don't mind, can I be one of those few? ^_^;; I'm kinda tired of training others using a dumby account. =/ Please? I'd really appreciate it. Unlike others. *points at bharvey42 and runs*
If your gola of "training" people is to give them experience, then you can just do this from the admin cp. Click on the Edit Users link and input their username or userid. Not sure if this is what you were trying to do, so if you already knew this then great!

The timeout 300 error occurs when the item display loop gets stuck infinitely. Which version of the Hack are you using? Does this Timeout 300 occur when you view a battle or when you view a thread?

Did this occur right after you installed the hack? If not, was it running fine beforehand?

I cant remember sorry . at first i had accidently run the itemshop install items script twice so i deleted all the tables associated with the hack and ran all the querys manually. then i ran the install items script again to install the items, and everything was working fine except for this.
