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.

Well it works, and it's real nice. But I have a tiny problem. I used VBHacker to install this, if you wanted to know.

Everytime I go to a thread it would always show empty, nothing ever would show. If anyone has any idea on what this is about, please tell me. A screenshot below to show you an idea how. If you need more information tell me ( i did follow all steps )

[Xziz]

Bitsys, are you working on the final version of this hack? I have a lot of members who ask for new features but if you are going to be upgrading it i'd rather wait until you have the upgrade ready and vb3 is ready to just do a fresh install at that point. If not I will be adding features to it here and there.

Is there a way to un-install this hack? I'm mainly concerned with the changes it made to my MySQL database. I seems like there are a lot of things to delete if I have to go in manually with PHPmyAdmin and do it by hand?? Is there an easy list of all the things to delete? thnx

There is not an easy way at the moment, as stated in the first post. If you search this thread, you can come up with a couple of ways I have described before. Quick summary: Delete all tables that were added. Delete the fields added to the userfields and user tables. Manually undo the file edits or restore the backups.

To assist in this process, you can have vbhacker give you a .txt file of how to install the hack. Using this text file, you can do the install in reverse to uninstall it.

Hmm I need to test that problem some more and I'll let you know in better detail what's happening

A few minor things I noticed, when someone uses a potion regardless of their gender, it says "he" For example: "MissNegativity used the potion "Yellow Potion" to gain 300 HP. He feels much better now." it's really not a big deal at all, it seems to bug my users and I hear about it all the time XD

Thanks, I found it.

I wanna ask how can I make when healing you dont use the money in bank. I wanna to use the money in cash.
Some of my members bugging me thia problem coz them not to get any interest at all.
And also I have this problem. If anyone request a draw and the ppl who are answering to the request accidently click 'submit reply' without choosing yes or no the battle got stuck. The page just refreshes with the option either saying yes to the draw or say no tothw draw. And it goes forever.

The first problem is due to the RPG system defaulting to the bank currency instead of cash. I am reluctant to change this because it is more reliable.

The second problem sould have been fixed in the last version. Does the template not have a default option selected?

quick question. Cause im runnin demo battles, its all good, but it seems every punch thats delt always hits. Do they ever miss? and wut about weapons etc? they got some sort of accuracy % ?

Fists only have a chance of missing if the opponent has armor. Weapons always have a chance of missing, but it is dependent upon the opponents evade, I think. They do not have an accuracy, per se, but they will miss every now and then. Previously, they were missing too much and the battle wasn't very fun.

is there a way to change the defense.

like if the buff of the shield is like 5000 and the person who attacked you with a sword has a buff of 5250, then the attack will only do 250 damage. i like this way instead, a lot better.

All formulas are editable in battle.php. Look for

PHP Code:

$damagedone = @floor(($weapon[damage] + $regattbonus) * $uelemod * $anger + $bonusattack - $armor - $regdefminus); 


and adjust it to your liking.

wait i got a moan lol, people on my site have weapons, yet when battling its telling them they dont have any to use, so they can only use their fists, even tho the weapons are showing under their stats etc :S

Are you sure you assigned a battle type to the weapon categories? To do this, go to the Edit Items Menu and locate a Category Name. Next to the name, you should see an edit link. Click on the link and change the battle type.

Some of the edits to showthread.php did not work correctly. Send me your showthread.php and I will fix it for you.

I am extremely close to a final version. However, this hack will not be compatible with vb3 and I don't know if I will update it to be compatible with vb3. I may just make a completely new hack for vb3, but that is doubtful right now (especially since vb3 still isn't out).

[MindTrix]

Thank 4 ya help, it might be the drop down thing u mentioned, but my servers down now so i gotta wait b4 i can check

[PixelFx]

Bitsys thanks for all your hard work on this..

[sonic3d]

Open the battle_arenadraw template. Find:

<input type="radio" name="charaction" value="drawno">

and change it to

<input type="radio" name="charaction" value="drawno" CHECKED>

Try putting $post[storep] in place of the other money variable in your postbit template.

There should be no restriction on when you can donate to a user. Are you sure that they have to have completed a battle before you can donate to them? What error message are you getting?

I have $post[storerep] being used in the postbit already....what's the other variable that you thought I might have previously had? maybe I should try it?


it will do this when I click on donate user:

I click donate user: and here's an example

Verify and choose your action below:
Username wich you want to donate to:
sun2mid

sun2mid have this amount of points on the moment:


Wich action do you want to execute?
Decrease/Increase


it should say: sun2mid have this amount of points on the moment: 0

but there is no number

then I click "increase" and I give 1000

then the screen says:

You Succesfully Donated Points To sun2mid:
You succesfully donated 1000 to sun2mid.
sun2mid have points on the moment

but between the words "have" and "points" should be the number 1000.

it seems that it won't show the amount of points they have until they engage in a battle...if you want to register at my test forum bitsys, I'll give you required access to see the problem yourself:

http://rom.gloriousff.com/forums2/





in other words, if people never choose to battle, they never have any points given to them for posting or anything. I am using VBulletin 2.3.0 and am using Lesane's store points. i have also installed the lesane's lottery addon for the shop.
