Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 28, 2005, 07:16:00 am
Yesterday I re-merged some forums together, like the off-topic sections, as well as the pixel art contest with the pixel art forum, which got moved out of the help section. Today I added a RPG mod on the website as well. I updated all image directories in it so I can have everything hosted on UTI server or Invisionfree and I changed some minor things in it. There aren't any battle system but it could be useful if someone made a forum based RPG sometimes. Basically you get money by posting. Just don't spam outside the spam section or cheat because it's very easy to reset someone statistic via admin control panel. ;)wink.gif

Sounds fun.  We could have a text-based RPG...I could throw some stats together...

Is there anyway to fix that little problem?

Text-based, aka it wouldn't be javascript like Necro was talking about a while back.  It would just be like people could post that they would like to battle, and a mod (me or anyone else who wanted to help) would run their stats through a battle engine, and would post the results.

that could be an idea, but then I would have to remove everything I added on the forum again, which took me several hours :/

@Kevin - No, it would use your stat system as the players stats, an example.

Say you and I wanted to battle eachother.

Your stats (as of right now):
HP: 148
STR: 55
MAG: 75
DEF: 110
EXP: 29%

Mine:
HP: 48
STR: 17
MAG: 20
DEF: 28
EXP: 12%

So the person who would be running this would run our stats against eachother through some pre-set formulas, and would post the results:

Turk strikes Lekens for 12!
Lekens electrifies Turk for 20!
Turk sets fire to Lekens for 19!
ect...

Based on the stats, you would probably win, and so that would be the battle.  Now, we would need to figure out what the prize would be, but that's the general idea.

I already figured out how to hack and change my stats or anyone elses.  Don't worry, I won't.  It only works for managers though.

@Kevin:  Posts in the spam section still count for money.  I don't know if you might want to change this or not.

Freaky!  I wish the mage looked like a guy, though, because I'd like to be a mage/vampire.  I also have no idea how to do anything with any of this.  :Dbiggrin.gif

Yea, I forgot to do that this morning and lost $51 dollars.  Oh well.

How is the money calculated per post.  Does it have to do w/ your level or the length of the post.
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: rivereye on December 28, 2005, 11:56:00 am
I think it $17 standard, it may increase with level, who knows

Ok.

@Rivereye:  How'd you get the DDR Spear.  There's no way you have that much money.

I have my ways
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: BCTurk on December 28, 2005, 02:43:00 pm
Slight, uh, glitch in the system.  Hehe... :evil:devil.gif

EDIT: Leveling up does not increase the amount of money you get per post.  I tried, and I still got 24 dollars....errr 17 ;)wink.gif.

Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates

Hacked in level one and posted, then changed it back.  Simple really.
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: tenniskid493 on December 28, 2005, 03:53:00 pm
LOL...I found 2 different hacks now.  One, I can only change mine, but other one, I can change anyones I want, even Kevin's if I really wanted to.  I wouldn't ever do it, but its still fun to know how to.

EDIT: NVM I can't do Kevin's.  He has that blocked.

Post by: BCTurk on December 28, 2005, 03:59:00 pm
I can only change mine, but I'm just a mod, so...
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: tenniskid493 on December 28, 2005, 05:05:00 pm
Yea, mine requires the use of restricted areas (aka Mod CP).  Only managers and Kevin could do it.

Well, it's an RPG, so who wants to battle?
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: tenniskid493 on December 29, 2005, 11:37:00 am
We still have to work out a way to do battles.  It was going to be just run the stats into a program and see who wins but I had a crazy idea that somehow we could do an online graphical battle thing.  This would be a lot of work but its something that would be really sweet.  Anyone up for the challenge???
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: Radical Pi on December 29, 2005, 11:41:00 am
I would if I knew anything other than TI-BASIC.
If possible, do the battle thing in customizable ASCII. :)smile.gif

Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 29, 2005, 02:47:00 pm
i think u just sell them back and buy a new one. I am wondering if I enabled the edit/ban  user feature for managers? I guess it must be enabled by default since you are global mod (basically you have all admin mod privilege, just no admin CP access). As for RPG there was a hack called RPG inferno before but it caused  so many pb that invisionfree decided to delete it from the code snippet section of their forum and now its illegal to repost it
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: tenniskid493 on December 29, 2005, 02:48:00 pm
what edit/ban feature?

Also, I found a few online battle engines.  When I get home (Saturday) I'll work on seeing if I can customize them and get them to fit our needs.
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 29, 2005, 02:54:00 pm
there was a ban feature for managers i think but I'm not sure if I enabled it. It was pretty complicated to use tho

I cant wait to see the engine :)smile.gif

and on a bad note I closed the window and forgot to deposit my cash so I lost everything O_Oshocked2.gif:(sad.gif oh well

Post by: tenniskid493 on December 29, 2005, 02:55:00 pm
That stinks, I did that the first day, not realizing that it didn't save it. I only lost 3 posts worth of money though.
Title: RPG mod installed and forum updates
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 29, 2005, 03:39:00 pm
err I missed about 10 posts between Leofox post about items and my post about selling items :Pblah.gif

I think I'll prbly change classes to Final Fantasy V ones and turn the sprites grayscale

@dysfunction u need to deposit your cash before leaving the forum (a.k.a closing firefox window)

@rivereye/alex10819 I kinda noticed the post increase (we almost hit 200 on dec 29th (time based on GMT)), only two hour to check all of this due to huge work schedule  :paf:tripaf.gif

in your profile go at the bottom and create a rpg profile, then once you posted before closing your browser click on deposit your gold at the top of the page

Yea, but oh well.

I found a secret for the RPG.  Don't deposit your gold after an odd # or posts.  Wait until you have an even number or posts before you deposit it.  This way, you will get more HP.
