[RC] Virtual Casino v1.3.0

Post by Brf »

Well... the Mod-Squad still has not acknowledeged my Virtual Casino v1.2.4a, submitted on Nov-29, so I am forging onward to the next stage.

MOD Title: Virtual Casino
MOD Description: Casino games (Slot Machine, Video Poker, Blackjack) for your users to waste their virtual cash.
MOD Version: 1.3.0 Beta

MOD Download: http://castledoom.com/forum/files/Virtu ... o-Beta.zip
Last Stable version: 1.2.4a

Demo Board: http://castledoom.com/forum/
Demo Usernames/Password:
Demo-1/phpbb-1
Demo-2/phpbb-2
Demo-3/phpbb-3

After I added the Cash Mod to my forum, I went looking for some nice casino games. I was quite disappointed with what I found -- especially the way the authors did not use the proper Script/Template format.

Therefore I wrote my own.

This casino is pretty much stand-alone, but I have also added in the correct hooks to display online status properly, so you can tell if your users are playing at all.

This MOD assumes you have installed the Cash Mod found elsewhere on this forum. No particular cash-name or cash-datafield-name is required. The Cash Mod API is used the pull the info for the Cash with ID of "1", unless it it changed in the ACP.

If you delete your currency, and create another, you will need to enter the Control Panel for all four games and submit the new currency, otherwise you will get a non-existant object error when you try to play.

This MOD adds a "gamecookie" field to the user SQL table to store the context of the Blackjack and Poker games. No useful data is stored in the HTML form returned to the user, because that would allow cheats and exploits.

I have created three Demo usernames to avoid the problems with multiple users playing games with the same username. If the gamecookie does not match the returned-form, the user's action will be ignored or his game voided. This is to discourage cheating. If your game is acting "weird", try one of the other Demo- users.

## Author Notes:
##
## This is designed to work with Cash Mod found at phpbb.com
## No particular cash-name or database fieldname is required, because the Cash will be selected
## from each game's control panel.
## If CashMod is not installed, a user database column named "user_points" will be assumed.
## ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## The original cards images came from the casino mod by aUsTiN-Inc http://austin-inc.com/
## but they were renamed to make them easier to use.
## -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
## The Slot machine image was originally from Microsoft's public online Office Clipart collection.

Keno done.

Blackjack is the tough one though. I will have to totally rewrite the form, so it will take awhile.

OK... I think I have the Blackjack working OK. I will probably package it up for beta download later today. Meanwhile, my demo site is working OK.

I got this on my site and the members love it :)
All it needs now is Craps and Roulette and maybe scratch cards.

Thank you for all you hard work.

slick50: I hate to advertise another MOD in Brf's thread, but I don't think he'll mind after all the help he's put into it.

The Store MOD has a usable item system that's pretty extensive, and the demo item it comes with just happens to be a Scratch Card. You can find some other usable items (including some made by Brf) here.


Brf: I haven't found any major bugs in this version so far. I'll try to get some more extensive testing done when I can get more time to sit down and actually try to break the system ;)

Also, I'll remove the above advert if you want.

Interesting seeing what's being done with the slot machine / gaming concept in phpBB these days. Come a long way since http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=131862 and others like it. Lookin' good!

Just replace the files: The 5 main phps and the 5 main templates. None of the admin stuff, or support files have changed.
