Chris Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Here's the situation: Basically we want to upgrade the forums to 2.1.1 (the newest version of IPB) to take advantage of the hundreds of new features and everything. I will be recoding the gang system anyway so that won't be a problem, it's just the store, the guy who made it has retired from his position and so nothing is being done to make it compatable with 2.1.1. Do we really need it? I know we use it for buying weapons for the gang wars and such, but do we really need it? I admit that the gang system would be hard to make use of without the weapons and stuff, but if we find an alternative that works on 2.1.1 then maybe I could integrate it with that. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
888ball Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 If it was a choice between 2.1.1 and IB Store, 2.1.1 all the way! And no we don't really need it, not if you can find an alternative or maybe make one built in with the gang system, that may sound too major but im not sure how good at coding you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree with 888, going a couple of months without a decent working shop isn't going to make us leave. I think it'd be better to get that sorted now, so that its worn in a bit before the christmas holidays - when the occasional members will drop by again and (legit) new members will be looking round. 2.1.1 SEEMS 99% stable to me, and updates are issued regularly enough to keep on top of any bugs - not forgetting we can report them ourselves. I think we should think about skins and mods sooner rather than later, then we can implement quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 2.1.1 is pretty nice. Might it be the 2.1 on the test boards? Either way, GTAWH has a test board up, too. It seems everyone is planning on upgrading sooner or later. I vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yeah and I've spotted a few mods we could use, it's called the Perfect Points system, currently the maker of the mod made them for 2.0 but so far he has converted the points system and the bank for 2.1, so he's obviously working on the store which by the way includes and AUCTION style method of buying stuff... how cool is that. I'm not going to bother with my Image Uploader because it's crap and I've coded my own image hosting site anyway. That just leaves the gang system which has to be and needs to be recoded anyway, since now I gotta integrate it with Perfect Points instead of IBStore...

Gerard Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 And we're gonna wait until thats done before we upgrade? I would have said that 2.1.1 took priority over keeping the current systems running until we got a new one. But i may not be around to see it.

But you've got to be sure this mod is the best if your going to combine it with the gang system. Ill look it up though, it seems very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 Unless IBShop is being made for 2.1.1 then I'll get it, but currently both IBShop and IBStore are dead so we have to settle for an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
