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.

Woops! Already translated it...

Now I'm just missing how to translate the name of the months and the "th" besides the DATE (already modified the th,rd on the positions).

SInce I guess it's the system Date, how could I modify this?

And oh yes, I use the Today/Yesterday hack... is it possible to use this on the Arcade?


Thanks!

Umm, I am not sure about how to do that.

I installed the hack but that's an odd thing. Some users told me that in battle they do always 5 hit damage.
They are at level 1 and fight with fists.
3 battles always with 5 hit each one.

Why? there's a way to modify it?
i modifyed the .15 in the battleupdate.php but nothing happened.

Can you help me?

Edit to add:

There's a way to give an ampount of money to a new member when he signs in the forum?

Fist damage is based on the user's level. Once they level up a few times they should be doing more damage and it should be more random.

wow, back after a huge vacation. Nice to see this hack is still in development. When is it going final? ANd im going to put this on my new site.

No estimate for final.

Yesterday at 08:11 PM chrisz said this in Post #2046
I have a suggestion for an addon.
I tried it myself and no luck. (I might stick to gfx lol)
Well what I want it to do is, when you pick a race, you have certain class types, with certain classes.
So each race has its own class types/ classes.
DW if you want me to explain more I can talk to you lataz on msn.
And bitsys your aim is messing with me your always afk! lol.
Anyways I have gotten emails about making more battle scenes.
If you like my battle scenes (the ones in the hack) PM me if you want more. I have about 50 unreleased.

Hmm, I always get your messages an hour after I go to sleep and an hour before I wake up. Kind of odd. You can always try PMing me here.

Today at 07:38 AM Me! said this in Post #2047
Hmm an interesting idea someone gave to me today. To have certain gender-specific items. Like hairbow for women and such. That would be a cool idea ^^

Interesting indeed.

Bitsys, my apologies, my message was for another hack (the Arcade )

[legendarysk8er]

I've recently had a problem. On my forums I have about 3,400 posts and I'm about 1500 more than the second top poster. My character was 12,000 hp when we first made the rpg, and a few days ago he dropped to 7,000. Most other members that our like 20 levels below have like more hp than me, I didn't edit my account or anything, and I dont know whats wrong.

[Wedge]

Hey, I just installed it on my board... but the itemshop.php won't load. and I get a mysql error.. the battle page works as does the cp page... but itemshop and heal get:

It a buff weapon problem? or something else?

Most other members that our like 20 levels below have like more hp than me, I didn't edit my account or anything, and I dont know whats wrong.

Since HP is based on posts per day and the amount of time you have been with the forums, it is possible that your HP went down because you posted less, or the other members have a much higher post per day count. Can you verify this?

Did you run install_itemshop_items.php?

I'm having a little problem displaying items. I did as you said about keep adding"AND" statements to only display certain items. However it displays only in text now. For example this is what I did in admin/functions.php:

 }
        $xc="item$nr";
        if($post[$xc]!="No Item" AND $nr == 1 AND $nr == 2 AND $nr == 3 AND $nr == 4) {
                $xvv = "item$nr";
                $xvvv = "icon$nr";
                if(empty($post[$xvvv])) {
                        $post[items] .= "<a href=\"itemshop.php?action=view&id=$post[$xv]\"><img src=\"https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/itemshop/$post[$xvv].gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$post[$xvv]\"></a> ";
                } else {

To show the items I used:

$post[item1]

and in the postbit it doesn't display an image, rather it just says "Cotton Shirt"

Try doing this instead:

 }
        $xc="item$nr";
        if($post[$xc]!="No Item" AND ($nr == 1 OR $nr == 2 OR $nr == 3 OR $nr == 4)) {
                $xvv = "item$nr";
                $xvvv = "icon$nr";
                if(empty($post[$xvvv])) {
                        $post[items] .= "<a href=\"itemshop.php?action=view&id=$post[$xv]\"><img src=\"https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/itemshop/$post[$xvv].gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$post[$xvv]\"></a> ";

It a buff weapon problem? or something else?

I see two problems. First, the armor that each person is wearing is providing a huge defense bonus. Second, the element types of each person are both considered the weaker one to their opponent. This means that all damage is halved. My only suggestion would be to halve the defenses of all armor, but maintain the current prices. Or, you could let people just use their fists when it is a stalemate with weapons.

Yep. And when I did vbhacker, it didn't require any manual changes... maybe it is because I'm using 2.2.6? If I used 2.3.0 instead, would it work?

Hmmm the people in this case didn't have any armour...
Only weapons.
one with buff 2 the other with buff 0...

Any suggestion about how to put buffs on items and, the average number to give HP in Elements?

[Darkwaltz4]

wow, buffs have to be HUGE becausebuff is about the amount of damage the weapon will be doing....2 just leaves it at such a horribly low amount O.o unless you plan to have like 100x hp or something

[Mistah Roth]

Hey DarkWaltz, are your addons included in the integration zip? or do we have to install them seperately?
