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.

Upgraded to v 0.68 and I get 'Invalid battle or password ' when trying to enter a battle..

I think the fix for this is to replace all references of $key in battle.php with $key1.

?hm bitsy
is it now so , that people their challenged , not must pay money when they say no ?

That is correct. When you are challenged and you decline, then you do not have to pay the wager.

Ohh! Bitsys! the 5th shop IS a personal itemshop... Does that have anything to do with it?

In battlefight.php, find:

PHP Code:

$itemcats = $DB_site->query("SELECT id, battletype FROM items_cats WHERE type = 0 ORDER BY battletype"); 


Are you able to find it?

Is there a way to lower or maybe even reset AP after a battle ends? We have organized tournaments sometimes, and some of the participants like to get their AP really high before their next battle begins.

There isn't an automatic way of doing this. However, you can do it by running a query. I believe it would be:

UPDATE user SET ap = 0

That query would set the AP to 0 for everyone.

this hack is great but...

the stats show up fine in the rpg cp...

but when i add the code in the postbit or the getinfo....it all looks fine but the actuall numbers and names dont show so i get something like this

Level:
Race:
Gender:
Class:
Element: -
Alignment:

but in the rpg cp i see it all....anyone know how to fix this?

hp is staying on 0/0 even when i have alot of exp?

i am also missing a few of the options in the admin cp so if anyone could upload there fully edited Admin/index.php file that would be great

Make sure you update your stats. After that, run DB Fix. If neither of those work, then let me know.

Since I got no answer to this last time I posted it, I will ask again.

Yes, there is a way to do that. However, it would require custom modifications.

Bitsys, could you expand on that a little? What type of "custom modifications" would be needed and to what files? I just need a place to start looking.

In newthread.php and newreply.php, find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET xp=xp+$battleopt[expperpost] WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'"); 


That is the query used to give the user experience. To determine the length of the message and store it in a variable, use the following code:

PHP Code:

$messagelength = strlen($message); 


You could change the query to something like:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET xp=xp+" . intval($battleopt['expperpost'] * strlen($message) / 100) . " WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'"); 


This would give the user the full amount of exp per post if the message was exactly 100 characters. If the message was 200 characters, then the user would get twice the amount of normal xp per post, etc.

You could always put a cap on the amount of exp people get could get so that people didn't make a post that contained the same characers over and over again.

Please note that I have not tested any of the above code.

[Jagang]

That was exactly what I needed. I'll toy around with it and see what happens. Thanx Bitsys, you're the best.

I think the fix for this is to replace all references of $key in battle.php with $key1.

Still no password in the PM, and still get invalid password when trying to access the battle..

For 'wager' you use '$wager' but for 'battlekey' you use '$key'? Tried to change it, but had no effect..

Oops, I forgot to tell you to edit the new battle template

Replace all "$key" with "$key1" in battle.php.

Then, in template battle_newbattle, find "key" and replace it with "key1".

Let me know if that works.

Anger is still based on a user's level. To restrict anger damage, do the following:

In battleupdate.php, find:

PHP Code:

$debugvariables .= "Anger (\$anger): $anger\n"; 


and ABOVE it, add:

PHP Code:

if ($anger > XX)
{
    $anger = XX;
} 


Where XX is a number greater than 1. If XX is 3.0, then the user will do a maximum of 3 times as much damage.

and change it to:

What is the buff for the shield? Are you both using the same shield? How does it not work?
