SMF-RPG-Shop-II_1-0

[Phydeaux]

By this time next week I should be finished with the initial release of SMF-RPG-Shop-II_1-0. It impliments SMFShop 2.2 with RPGShop 1.0 in one package. I have made some changes to Daniel's original code in SMFShop 2.2, so before you ask... it's very unlikely, unless you intend to spend large amounts of time, that you'll want to pick it apart just to add the RPG portion. As soon as I have the time I will package a version that will coexist with SMFShop in it's original code. For my personal needs which started this project, I needed the two melded, hence it comes first.

The RPG portion impliments a rpg item shop for such things as weapons, armor, skill etc. It uses a separate currency, so there are two currencies to contend with. One for SMFShop 'board-type' items, and one for 'rpg-type' items. The rpg currency is awarded at a much higher rate and is variable depending on several member rpg stats... length of membership, # of posts, length of post etc... There is a HP/MP/EXP system awarded in much the same fashion, used for text based dueling/quest -battles etc as well as Attack & Defense modifier values. There is a Character Sheet that displays all this information on each post by every member. These displays can be toggled on/off via Profile.

I can't begin to explain it all here...  I'll be looking for some help to Beta Test the mod.

Sounds good... I'd love to see it once it's done

If you want, I can set up an SVN repository for you. This would probably be set up as a 'branch' of SMFShop. You know how to use SVN, right? There's a free ebook on SVN available at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/, if you want to learn a bit about it.

Heh! don't worry... you'll be the first to see it! :-)  Since posting my first up there--^ I found a problem which I'm having to re-code for. I need a "Skill/Class" for the rp characters, and we have/need two summons types Battle/Monster. The way I was handling the items inventory, I thought, would handle those items in the inventory database. "Ack!" different animals in the Display, so I have to add a couple more tables and alter the rpgshop to manage three different stores. It's being a bit more complicated, but I still think I can accomplish the task by the end of next week... so as I get back home on Tuesday evening. Anyway, once I have it functional and relatively bug free... The SVN offer might be a great way to go. I originally thought to put it on SMF's mod section, but you know... that opens it up to where gobs of support is needed, and I just don't have the time available to do all that. If you want to host it here... man that would be great since I don't necessarily want to set up a package server either. I truly feel like this will be a great mod, but it never was really intended to be more than that for the RPG Forum I'm doing it for, ya know.

Thanks

This sounds promising.

[RvG]

hey.. sounds good!

[Phydeaux]

Meh... it will be "functional". As to whether it will fit the needs of the masses... only the masses will tell.

[chadk]

Cool!   When will the beta be done?

[Phydeaux]

Somewhere between 8-14 days from today. I still have the Admin code to complete for the "Skill/Class" && "Summons" sections. 

[chadk]

This is going to be fun stuff.  Wait until the parrot website I run gets a load of this! lol

[Phydeaux]

Heh! I s'pose we could make a item "Crackers" to sell in the shop, eh?

[Albadon]

Yeah! That would be even more great!

The page you requested is missing... We assume the worst...
However, every attempt is being made to correct this error.
Thank you for your patience!

Hmm... that is your test site?

[Phydeaux]

Cute little feller ain't he!

[chadk]

I'm stealing that
