I'm new in the NodeBB-Universe and atm im porting my website from Joomla+Kunena to NodeBB. I would really love to see this plugin in the 0.6 Version of NodeBB so my community can use the cash-system for useful stuff. On my last website I had a "points"-system and I always wondered what to do with those points. I never had an answer to that, ... ^^

Anyway, this plugin looks awsome!

Yeah, this is cool All my forums use phpbb 3.1.x but this project is getting better and better for every month I check it out.

I wish I had the time to complete this I'll try and get this working with latest NodeBB so at least you can install it and see the progress for yourself (and maybe even contribute)

EDIT: you know what, I'm going to make this a minimum viable product by just focusing on the shop (which is done, sans-ACP) and cutting out all other code into a branch. Then this could function as a shop to buy things with points your earned from posting. Then when I get more time I'll reintroduce the other aspects, character creation, battling, etc!

I LOVE This Idea!

A few weekends ago I updated this plugin to 0.7 and worked on a ton of battle and animation code

If you had something similar then it was probably ADR by phpBB? This is a continuation of that project

I remember when I ran a BBS and had The Pit for my dial-up users to play. Kick ass game and this is a fun addition to many genre of forums.

I just installed this on my forums running 0.7-dev and it seems to be working OK. I had to manually copy the translations files since they didn't seem to install correctly but other than that it's working.

I really want to contribute to this plugin, is there a TODO or project page for this somewhere?

teh_g

Glad this popped up as a new post. This plugins looks awesome...

psychobunny

@KingCat I'll write up a roadmap / todo on the weekend. Thanks for offering to help

KingCat

@psychobunny I've always wanted to make a browser based rpg but never had the wherewithal to create something useable, I think this way I can scratch my itch without having to create all the underlying plumbing haha.

Also, I'm in the nodebb IRC on freenode if you ever want to come by and chat about it.

HolyPhoenix

I will be installing the latest version in the next few days and testing it out. Sounds like the changes you did are pretty sweet.

psychobunny

I'll make a roadmap soon but I think the most immediate need is an admin interface to modify data. Right now everything is hardcoded to the default install, you can see the data here:

nodebb-plugin-openfantasy/data/data.js at master · psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-openfantasy

A fully featured RPG (Role Playing Game) plugin for NodeBB forums. - nodebb-plugin-openfantasy/data/data.js at master · psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-openfantasy

GitHub (github.com)

Basically this is what you get when you install for the first time, so monster/item/class/element definitions, etc. The original ADR had a pretty in-depth admin interface that allowed you to create or modify the above.

It's definitely a bit of an undertaking, but if anybody's interested I can go ahead and create one sample page (ex. Elements ACP - creating/editing) and then you could go from there by copying how I did it?

KingCat

@psychobunny That would be great. I've been struggling with the new settings system so seeing it implemented correctly would be nice.
