RMXPU Shop

[Marked 197]

Introducing the RMXP Unlimited Shop - a full shop component based off RPG Maker VX.

 

Features

Class Selection

Before being able to view any part of the shop you must select a class. At the moment there is 4 to choose from, but more may be added in the future. Each class has their own bundle of items to purchase.

Profile

Displays all information related to your statistics. This includes experience, experience until level up, battle stats and of course your equiped items. You can also look up other members profiles, but they must have chosen a class before you can view their profile.

Shop

This is what the whole thing is based off. You can buy and sell items. Pretty simple. There are also settings for inflation and resale percentage which are explained in the help section.

Equip

Equip items that you have purchased to increase your stats. These are the same as VX; you can equip a weapon, shield, head, body and accessory item.

Bank

Deposit your money to gain interest. A nice compound interest system that is added daily at midnight.

Transations

See your latest purchases as well as what other members have purchased. Also displays at what price the items were purchased at because the inflation system may change the prices.

-Help: I will paste this below.

 

 

Ok, here is a copy of the help page:

 

Classes

Every user must select a Class. Each Class has various strengths and weaknesses in terms of stats (Attack, Defense, Spirit and Agility). Classes also have a defined set of items avaliable for purchase, although multiple Classes may purchase various similar items.

 

Level & Experience

Every time you make a post you gain experience. This is the basis of all of your stats. The higher your post count is, the more experience you get for another post. For example, your 2nd post is worth experience than your 1st. Your level is based on your experience and this is like any level system. The experience needed to go from level 49 to level 50 is much higher than that needed to go from 29 to 30. Level 100 is reached at approximately 3,000 posts.

 

Stats

Your stats are your Attack, Defense, Spirit and Agility. Each of these have a base value and grow exponentially at different rates based off your level. These are affected when you equip items. A Sword for example which increases your attack will increase it by a certain percentage. For example, if your attack is 1,000 and you equip a Sword that has an attack value of 5%, your attack will be 1050.

 

Inflation

The current inflation rate is 1. This is not really an inflation system, but a method to increase/decrease the prices of each item by the same factor. The real price of the item is multiplied by the rate of inflation to get the price at which you can purchase it for.

 

Resale Percentage

This is the percentage of the current item price at which you can sell the item back to the shop. At the moment the percentage is 99%. For example, if you purchase an item for 1,000 Points, you can resell it to the shop for 700 Points. Note that this resale percentage takes account of the price after it is adjusted by the inflation rate which can change the resale price.

 

Interest Rate

The current interest rate is 2%. This is the percentage of interest you get for saving your points in the Bank. Interest is added every day at midnight. The interest is compounded. This means that you get interest on whatever value of points is currently in your bank, rather than interest on the original deposit. For example, suppose you deposit 1,000 Points into the bank and the interest rate is 10%. After day 1 your balance will be 1,100 Points (1,000 + 10% of 1,000). After day 2 your balance will be 1,210 (1,100 + 10% of 1,100), and so on.

 

Minimum Deposit

The minimum deposit is 100 Points. You can deposit any value lower than this into the bank.

 

Withdrawal Fee

The withdrawal fee is 50 Points. We like having your Points in our bank so to encourage you to keep them there, it will cost you 50 Points to make a withdrawal. As a consequence, you cannot withdraw any value under 50 Points.

 

 

 

So everyone can play around a little bit, I'm setting the resale percentage to 99%. So you can buy and sell items with a negligible decrease in your points.

 

By the way, you can only choose your class once :)

 

The link will in the menu under "Other". Hope you guys like it :)

[Polraudio 122]

I think i seen this somewhere :lol:

EDIT: After i click a calss the page refreshes and does nothing.

[Marked 197]

That's strange Pol. I checked the database and it doesn't have your class, so could you try again? You should be redirected to the select class page whenever you try to view the shop. I tested it just now with my account, apart from loading slowly, it worked for me.

 

EDIT: You're logged in the DB now. You should be able to view the shop..

[Polraudio 122]

Nope but as a note to everyone.

The system only works on Firefox and IE and maybe safari.

It dont work under opera.

EDIT: The class selection only dont work under opera.

Need someone with opera to confirm.

[FranklinX 37]

I can't buy anything. Is this suppose to be a game or something.

[Polraudio 122]

I can't buy anything. Is this suppose to be a game or something.

Click buy under the item stats in the buy menu after you click on an item.

[Broken Messiah 20]

Opera has failed me again

[FranklinX 37]

Click buy under the item stats in the buy menu after you click on an item.

 

I have common sense. <_<

[Polraudio 122]

I have common sense. <_<

90% of people dont.

 

Did you click this buy after selecting an item and did you have enough points?

[Broken Messiah 20]

This might be a dumb question but would it ever be possible to "Fight"*cough another member? I think something along the lines of stat comparison, Thanks Marked really nice and original :alright: Let's see if RRR can beat that.

[FranklinX 37]

90% of people dont.

 

Did you click this buy after selecting an item and did you have enough points?

 

Yes, I clicked buy. Come on man us members at Unlimited are not dumb. <_<

 

I have enough points for the weapon I want to buy.

[Broken Messiah 20]

I dont. :dragonshock:

[CrimsonInferno 35]

Oh snap, this is awesome! *freaks out*

 

When its not late (12:29 am here) I will come back and take a better look...and when I don't have to use Internet Explore :facepalm

[Marked 197]

Perhaps I should have tested it a bit more...

 

I was aware of the browser incompatibilities. I use firefox so the whole thing is designed for firefox. Different browsers render some CSS styles differently. For example, in Pol's screenshot the borders are square. Its supposed to look like this:

 

 

 

The VX theme is a major feature of this thing.. so we have to make a decision. Keep the VX theme and have browser issues, or have a simpler layout which is more compatible across browsers.

 

@Franklin: First of all could you try making a purchase in firefox? Or IE, but firefox to be safe. Just to see if it is the browser which I doubt, the buy button is a simple html form. If that doesn't work then PM me instead of posting in here, just so we can sort out your issue separately since you're the only who's having it so far.

 

This might be a dumb question but would it ever be possible to "Fight"*cough another member?

Researching :) It is possible, I used to use flash a fair bit. I already know I can connect to our DB using flash, so yes it's definitely possible. I however cannot code in flash. Lets just say I'm researching. I had more features in mind for this such as clans and a craft system, but I thought I better see how members like it before continuing.

[Enigma 10]

Hey marked, Can you add a Freelancer/Jack of all trades class :D

[Agckuu_Coceg 5]

YEAH! FREELANCER!

 

Pol is right. This really not works with Opera...

[Kiriashi 117]

You guys must be doing something crazy. I downloade Opera just to test it.

 

Works fine. :P

 

 

I'll comment more later Marked. Too tired right now.

[Siverix 4]

i'm gonna test it out right now because im too lazy to find my firefox thingy

[Noob Saibot 38]

I tested it in 9 browsers:

[Siverix 4]

well it didn't seem to let me select my class in opera im probobly too crazy to use things :unsure:

[Marked 197]

Wow Kage, thanks for the effort, really appreciate it. I added that to the first post. I'm surprised so many of you use opera... Selecting a class should work too because it uses pretty standard html.

[Agckuu_Coceg 5]

Excuse me, but it DOESN'T WORK in Opera 10.60. Unfortunately.

[Test Opera for Shop 0]

Excuse me, but it DOESN'T WORK in Opera 10.60. Unfortunately.

 

Kage Kazumi here...

 

It does work, however it fails at the CLASS selection screen. It just reloads the page, but I was able to transfer money and what not using Opera for my Kage Kazumi account.

[Agckuu_Coceg 5]

And most interesting, CHROME TOO!!!

 

But not with the all classes.

 

Maybe it's some mistake in the code, Marked?

 

P.S. WHAT'S THAT?!

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

This doesn't work on Opera or IE....Sigh, i've been waiting for this!

[Noob Saibot 38]

Seems Marked some browsers don't like the CLASS selection. You should probably do the following:

 

1) Create random beta test accounts and give log in info to members you choose.

 

2) If you can give them POINTS, give them enough to test it in browsers completely.

[Enigma 10]

WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE DEPOSIT BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE WHEN MAKING A DEPOSIT especially if you are depositing the entire thing

 

The shop does not recognize when you have 0 points on hand and will deposit nothing into the bank, while at the same time reducing your points on hand

leaving you with this

[Noob Saibot 38]

Looks like Marked you need to have this fixed and then beta tested.

[rgangsta 43]

The shop's not working for me in Opera. How can Opera fail me like this?! Why?! I was beginning to love it. :(

 

.:EDIT:. Chrome has failed me too! D: Every time I click on a class, the page just reloads.

[Marked 197]

Sigh... so disappointed in this.

Maybe it's some mistake in the code, Marked?

 

P.S. WHAT'S THAT?!

Yup its certainly the code. It's very strange however that some functions work in opera while others (class selection) does not. To be honest, I'm not keen on opera. I suppose I'll download it and test it in that browser as well... dont have much of a choice. I thought firefox dominated.. really suprised there are so many opera users here. Oh by the way, remember what page you got that error? Its a query thats not running for some reason.. I'll need to know which page you got that error so I can fix it.

Oh, yeah... this may surprise you, but I've done a heck of a lot of testing. With many accounts. I made it offline so when i write the code its ready to test immediately. The only issue here is browers and the double submit error which i was aware of but forgot about. This works perfectly in firefox.......

 

WARNING: DO NOT PRESS THE DEPOSIT BUTTON MORE THAN ONCE WHEN MAKING A DEPOSIT especially if you are depositing the entire thing

This is a common error called the double submit error. I was aware of it before releasing this but I just forgot about it... I will fix it as soon as I can.

 

I actually broke my laptop charger last night and without my test site I can't really do any proper testing or file edits... If anyone loses any points due to an error, please report to me either in this topic or via PM so I can fix the error and give your points back to you.
