Sorry I couldn't resist. Bladewolf, I have seen more posts of you asking for mods than any other post in this forum. How you can tell KDawg to go learn himself I don't know. If you are so keen on telling other people to go learn themselves, how about you look on some PHP Tuts and decide to make those mods you request for free? How does that sound? LOL... What i find funny is everyone says "It's gotta be JUST LIKE phpbb or smf integration... Yet I have a feeling it's trickier than that because the database info isn't even in the register.php file for one... it's in includes/function_user.php i believe, but i'm not totally positive. The coding in vb is way different than what i'm use to seeing through mccodes v1... I want to setup a few games but the issue is, if people register to vbulletin and i get 1 game implemented into it, i know i can implement the others, BUT it won't auto add the users to those games if they're pre-registered (for future example)

I found the required file and i have sent it along to AlabamaHit

VBulletin has more pages than i'm use to staring at lol... it has everything in the main directory, install directory, includes directory, etc... so it has more than i know where to look heh

I tried to get an answer from SOMEONE at vbulletin site on the .org site in the forums but no response in a couple days so... I'm thinking i'm pretty much screwed.

I thought that was only in v2? V1 if i remember correctly (as i only have v1) you had to do it manually

You should be able to create a user in your staff panel. After you do that i believe you go into like.... battletent.php or something like that and add the user ID of the NPC you created into the NPC section. I'll take a look again in a few and tell you exactly how. ok i found it   go into battletent.php and find: $h->endpage(); die(""); }   under that you should see something like... $bots=array(7,8,9,532,533,534,535,536,720,721,722,585,820); $moneys=array(1000,5000,10000,50000,100000,100000,100000,100000,1400000, 1400000, 1400000, 5000000, 10000000);   the 7,8,9,532,534 etc is the USERID of each bot, just delete those and add the ones of the bots/npc battlers you created. the number under that like 1000,5000,10000 is how much money you make for each NPC. for example. NPC 1 aka ID number 7 will give you 1000 money, npc2 aka ID 8 will give you 5000 and so on and so forth. Hopefully that explained your question.

That's cool but i'm trying to just run MULTIPLE GAMES and have the forums seperate, but make it so that when registering to the forums, they automatically get signed up to the games via database entries being in the vb register system

Sucks lol... I've offered to put up a TEMP VBulletin on one of my domains so someone could figure it out but i've yet to receive a response. haha.

Ah, okay, my bad. Still, there are many ways of integrating a website with a forum, you don't necessarily need to use the same encryption for the passwords if you keep the game and forum tables separate. I think best solution here is for somebody to write a vbulletin plugin that hooks into the registration, which will insert a copy of the user into the game database. Then edit the mccodes register page to insert a copy of the user into the forum database. This is not 'full' integration but I think it's better to not mix the game with the forum too much, otherwise you'll have a huge mess of a database. well basically that's what i want it to do... Seperate databases. Game database just added into the vbulletin registration system and it will add the user(s) to both, then i can redirect the game register to the vbulletin one so there is only 1 Register page for EVERYTHING.

Question... What EXACTLY does this do? It just says "NEW SECURING ADDON" but what is it securing? How is it securing anything? etc.

This shouldn't be surprising, especially with a script like vbulletin. Most professional scripts would not have a simple flow like mccodes... Spudinski is right, there should be some kind of api you can use without having to modify any vbulletin files, otherwise you'll make your forum incompatible with any forum updates/upgrades. So in idiot terms(for me lol...) I'm kind of screwed

good point.

Weird, it showed you on the site all night as online.

I'm thinking AB is finding it a bit trickier than planned/expected.

Just waiting to see if Alabama has figured it out.

i'll send it right now, and i don't even have the game installed on a site at the moment.

I would hand you the register file but i'm not gonna post it on here. and like i said, I'm just trying to figure out how exactly to do it, and then i would obviously know how as i don't want someone to do it for me unless they're going to explain exactly what had to be done...

well with all the mumbo jumbo in this thread i'm so friggin lost i'm never goign to figure it out...

Then why would you even bother making any comment if you don't plan to REALLY help?

and i do appreciate the offer, but it's not as easy as everyone seems to think it is... phpbb3 is simple, smf is simple, but vb is kind of a pain in my ass.. i'm using 3.8.4 because i don't like 4.x which i paid for but still. I believe the encryption is all the same. Danny if u would like to help figure this out pm me again and i'll send you my MSN.

Blade you are always asking for help for basic stuff so how you can comment IDK. KDawg. Main prob you will find is that VB has to be paid for so most people wouldnt know the file layout etc. If your gonna get this done then it will have to be by PM etc as you wont be able to post any VB code here. The process as AlabamaHit has outlined is simple your probably overthinking it. My advice would be to see what passord encryption VB uses and change MCodes to use that rather than change VB. But that depends on if you have players already in your game or not. Thank you, I'm just sick of children on this site and their criticism just because my life isn't EXTREMELY PERFECT such as there's, or i don't know coding as well as them. or assuming iwant someone to code something for me by giving me DETAILS on how to do it, to learn from. Just because I don't learn the same method of everyone else doesn't make me a f*cking idiot like Alabama makes it out to sound like. As for changing the encryption and such, Thanks as that is one of the major things i needed to know. I was just trying to figure out the basics of anything i needed to do and maybe a bit of help with explanations, as i told Danny in PM, i don't want it coded for me, i want something i can use to LEARN how to do it myself.

I stated something to someone about me being on here back when NYNA was around, and people started in on me. So either help out with the original post or stop posting please and thank you.

idc what everyone elses "amazing stories" are. This isn't about peoples lives. I'm asking how i could set this up without screwing up my forums registration page.

working 16hour days and coming home to take care of a child and get little sleep doesn't give you time to learn much, I just restarted all my sites and such because of all this, we even moved from the north west to the south with family for awhile because things went downhill for awhile. so yeah, I have pretty good reasoning to leave behind coding things for awhile.

considering i've been gone for ALONG TIME because i had a kid and that was more important... no
