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.

[up in smoke]

I searched from 8:17 till 8:45 and found nothing.... mind telling me what words you used to search ?

[kaotic]

I was wondering...

Would it be possible to add a "Tax" feature? Just something that would deduct about 2% for every week.

[legendarysk8er]

Yeah, that would be neat, and it goes in a big pot to see how much tax is collected every so often or something..

What is the value for points in the itemshop hack? I know the store's point value is storep.

Itemshop money is stored in the userfield table. This table contains dynamic fields to store different values. The name of the field that stores Itemshop money is the same as the value you put for "Points field" in the Itemshop Options Menu.

Hey, one of my users has this problem:

Okay, my HP , once I got to approximately level 30, drastically 1,000 points.

I heard many other forums have the same problem... any fix?

In member.php (and in the Auto-Update Stats Add-on if needed), find:

PHP Code:

 * $hpmulti 


And delete it.

When I go to edit my users info I get this:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL: SELECT field6 FROM userfield WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'field6' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Do the following:
1. Go to your admin panel
2. Go to modify user profile fields
3. Find the RPG Name profile field
4. Right click over the edit link and go to copy shortcut
6. Copy it in your browser
7. Near the end there will be a number. Remember that number
8. Go to edit the battle options
9. In the top option put in field# and replace number with the number you recorded in step 7.

If that doesn't work, then try:
1. Go to your admin panel
2. Go to modify user profile fields
3. Find the Points profile field
4. Right click over the edit link and go to copy shortcut
6. Copy it in your browser
7. Near the end there will be a number. Remember that number
8. Go to edit the itemshop options
9. In the pointfield option put in field# and replace number with the number you recorded in step 7.

[B]It allows them to purchase items for any class. However I removed it and recoded some of the template & php file so that the unknown does not show up and no item boxes show up until they choose a class.

I'm sure I could dig up what I had to change if you need it.[QUOTE]
I just tried buying an item when my class was set to Unknown and it didn't work. What was the structure and IDs of your classes before you deleted the Unknown?



[QUOTE]08-05-03 at 05:03 AM Pricyber said this in Post #2085
[B]I believe it is usually the one before heal full or heal full... I can't be 100% sure, as I've only seen it happen a couple of times. However picking a different one always solves the problem. It's never more than 1 at a time.
[QUOTE]

Still looking in to this one.

08-05-03 at 10:19 AM Blackangel said this in Post #2086
it's possible to prevent user who have not selected any class/race /etc to get any experience and lvl ... ?

because i have some user already lvl 5 but all information are unknown (not playing, only post) , i have the lock at lvl 10

thx.

08-05-03 at 11:45 AM Legendary Kid said this in Post #2087
Delete the unknown class, race, type. But there really isn't anything else you can do, maybe edit it so that other than unknown stuff appears when somebody first registers you could edit somestuff to make it so that a certain other race, class, type appears for every users stats appear the same when they register.

I wouldn't recommend deleting the Unknowns, since that would have an unknown effect on the hack. I do agree that there is not much to do to solve the problem right now.

08-05-03 at 12:13 PM Wedge said this in Post #2088
I was wondering if it is possible.... to specify a class that only comes up with a specific race? (kind of like how the male/female works)

-Wedge

The relationshop and structure of races/classes does not permit that at this time.

08-05-03 at 02:00 PM Blackangel said this in Post #2091
i have a question
it's seen that Evil alignement got less hp/ma/pp by lvl than a good.

it's normal ?!

It is possible, but I never noticed it before. Have you taken an average across the board making sure you aren't looking at skewed data?

08-05-03 at 03:12 PM lioncool1589 said this in Post #2092
bitsys how do i descrease % miss in battle
or i have to decrease def

I would recommend decreasing defense, since the lowest chance to hit a player can have is 40%.

Try the above fix that I showed you.

Also did oyu ever post the fix for the members with problems with healing and bank stealing their money???

I have re-written the code but I am still testing it.

08-06-03 at 07:41 PM legendarysk8er said this in Post #2100
No, I have a pretty high post per day percentage and it didn't drop any. My actvity actually increased...

Try the above fix I posted for saint_seiya.

08-06-03 at 07:41 PM legendarysk8er said this in Post #2100
Also, what prevents a user from creating a personal itemshop, then just buying items from his own store and giving himself money?

The money is taken out of his account, then put back in. I don't see a net gain, or am I missing something? If you were referring to the negative cost for personal itemshop items exploit, then that will be fixed in the next version.

08-06-03 at 09:13 PM Wedge said this in Post #2101
hmm, dunno if anyone saw this when I originally posted it..

I want to limit a class to a race. So that each race has it's own classes that other races can't use. is there a way to do that?

-Wedge

Not currently.

08-07-03 at 06:25 AM Rogue Pan said this in Post #2102
when i change the Item types in the admin cp i pick items to show up in type id 10 its show up in 0 too same with 1 & 11 and so on

Will be fixed in the next version.

I ask you a help to understand a little thing...

In Itemshop.php, in BUY PERSONAL
i found this...



This part is where you can buy a personal shop... but i don't understand the control that makes on userr in the IF.

In my opinion (but i'm not a php programmer and i can say stupid things) if(sizeof($userr)!=16 can be ereased.

What do you think? Am i wrong?

EDIT TO ADD:

I changed

in



in this way, a user can have only 1 shop.

You are correct, the sizeof() function call is not really necessary. I did not write that code - it was a part of the original itemshop.

08-07-03 at 08:06 PM legendarysk8er said this in Post #2106
Can anyone tell me how I could make the AP not do as much damage? When a user reaches 100% AP there is no chance in you surviving, not even me and I have 3000 posts on my forum, can someone help me with this?

100% AP is only supposed to do 1.5x damage. How much extra damage is it doing for you?

08-10-03 at 11:58 AM BlueBlazed said this in Post #2111
what about NPC's can you code anything to battle NPC's to get you exp without playing others.

This has been suggested before and there are some people out there working on it right now. Unfortunately, I do not forsee doing it any time soon.

Any chances to have this hack stand alone... in the terms of keeping it hacked to vb interaction for messaging and stuff, BUT give users action points or life thru other means (i.e. TURNS-based, 1 turn each xx hours for example) instead of thru posts?

Because current way makes me think of 1000's of users posting stupid things just to gain life...

Otherwise I might have not understood the way this hack behaves...

Gaining experience through posting can be turned off. That way, not matter how much a user posts, they only get experience in battle.

08-11-03 at 07:36 AM VeoMorphine said this in Post #2119
Ok, I ran into my first problem installing this on a new board (2.3.0). For some reasen when a user buys there items, they will show up in the shop on the top table where all the items you have are listed, and do work in battle, but will not show up in the postbit, the profile or any other place that the items are suppost to show up in.

Anyone have any idea? Its like the Var to show items is not working.

You can take alook at my board at Http://www.elite-network.net/forums/

Have you tried running DB Fix?

Is there anyway to base HP off of Total post and not post per day ?

You can't base it off of total posts, but you can turn off the post per day code as seen in my response to saint_seiya.

I was wondering...

Would it be possible to add a "Tax" feature? Just something that would deduct about 2% for every week.

What would you tax? How would this affect interest? I like this idea though. Then at the end of the week, there can be a lottery to see who wins the pot.

[legendarysk8er]

Ok, some users have done up to 30,000 damage when they reached 100% AP. The highest user on the board has only 8,000 HP. I hope btw, that thing you gave for seint_saiya works because this guys has 1000 posts less than me and has 1000 more posts than me. Anyways, how can I change this? Is it in battleupdate.php?

[legendarysk8er]

Hey Bitsys, there are a lo of multihps in member.php..Do i delete them all or just the first one I come accross?

In member.php, change:

PHP Code:

$maxhpupdate = ( $level * $battleopt[hpmodifier] * $hpmulti) + $hpmodifier; 


to

PHP Code:

$maxhpupdate = ( $level * $battleopt[hpmodifier]) + $hpmodifier; 


[Jagang]

Is there a way for a person getting experence from post to have the amount of exp based on post length? So that a person writting a paragraph of text will get more exp than someone only posting a sentence. This may of been discussed before, if so just point me in the right direction.

[legendarysk8er]

I actually have a friend who is working on that.

And Bitsys, I did what you said, yet my HP still is very low. Does it not change it?

It won't change it unless you update your stats. Some other factors may be affecting it though. What is your level?
