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 http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...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.

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.

Where is the text used in battles located? I need to adjust the spells text (Spreading his arms in a fit of rage...) since I have mercenaries set as spells. For example, here is the battle text when one attacks with a mercenary:

"Spreading his arms in a fit of rage, someone casts Archer on someone and deals X points of damage. Archer cost 0 MA to cast."

See what I'm saying?
All of those lines should be spread throughout battleupdate.php

question, how are people making items like Magic Tag that Cures Zombie status? Because what does zombie status do, is there even zombie status in this hack? Becuase I want to create a spell that causes poison and will take away 3% of a persons health away each turn until its cured but I have no clue how I can do this.

Bitsy is it possible for me to lock Race and Element once the user picks? People tend to go with the strongest instead of using this as an rpg extenstion of their persona and some of my members wish for me to lock this feature. They suggested in order to change it you'd have to pay money or reach a certain level.

That would be really cool if that could be done.
I agree, I would really like that to

Bytsis, I found yet another money abuse bug. When you enter wager, you can enter a negative number (lets say -50,000). And when the battle is over it will clear both fighter's money to 0.

Is there any way that I can prevent a user from gaining EXP from posting in a certain forum?

(IMO) Disabling the post count might work.

Btw, do you guys know any good sites that I could gather sprites from?

Hey Bitsys,

I got some of the custom art I showed you earlier up on the site, and got more of a overall layout starting to come togher as well...

I am Still working on layout, rpg names for items etc, need to change gil to another currency but so far its all good, thanks for your hard work..

http://www.orbsydia.com

Above is what you would see if you had a membership account on my forum, to save people time of registering I put a screenshot together... I need to get a few beta testers as well, to help find bugs etc... so we can send to bitsys :P

http://www.orbsydia.com

I haven't made custom 3d battle scenes YET, but they are on the to list

Possible bug: some items not showing up in normal store, but do show up in the generic section ... not sure how to change that. The catigories are not set to personal....

One thing some of my members pointed out is that at the end of a battle when the one users accepts that he won the battle sometimes the other person is slow to accept that they lost or just doesn't for some unknown reason.

I forget if you're given the money regardless if the loser accepts defeat or not, but it's just something I thought I'd bring to your attention. My user suggested instead of each user accepting the outcome to just have it automatically do it.

The money should be given as soon as the battle result can be determined, i.e. before both players accept the results. Let me know if this is not the case.

Other than that, the two should work just fine.

There are no status modifiers at this time.

At the moment there are no status effects.

They suggested in order to change it you'd have to pay money or reach a certain level.

That would be really cool if that could be done.
I have looked into doing this before and I found that it would cause more problems than solutions code-wise. Maybe someone could make an add-on.

You can disable negative wagers. Search this thread, as it has been discussed quite a bit.

That would require a custom hack, since your forum IDs are different from everyone else's.

Images look awesome

To fix the items not showing up problem, go in to your database with phpmyadmin. Find the rpg_type table. Change the ID of Generic from 1 to 0. That should fix it.
