Add-on Casino Add-on Request $100

[JayX]

Thanks for your response. I look forward to the release.

Obviously I'll have to look at the documentation like you said to know whether or not I'll be able to do it, but if not, would you accept money to help set it up for me? Just wondering whether that would be an option, as presumably you're going to be more experienced than anyone else at installing it.

Unfortunately, I will not able to do. You will need to post installation issues and my help will be beneficial to all others. I will advise help from a paid service to people who know linux and after reading installation documentation whether or not he/she will take the job or not. Some of members in the IPB community did hire someone to install the previous version of the game, but I don't know if they install for Xenforo community.

Note, there is issues which go beyond my knowledge if you encounter technical issues like network, firewalls, port opening and each site uses different configurations as also distro varies from one to an another. I've known so well the poker game to help you quickly solve any issue since I don't recall how many times I've played with it.

You need to be aware that you will need to accept server shutdown/restart during the installation if it requires. Even poker does read only operation on site database and don't touch anything on the xf folder installation, backup of database and forum code prior to installation is also highly recommended so you can rollback to an earlier version. It's just for precaution.

It should be straight forward for installation , I've made it detailed possible.

OK, thanks again for the clarification. I'm excited about the release of this - are you still hoping to get it out by the end of tomorrow?

I'm releasing it today as documentation has been completed. I thought I've never got it done! It will take a couple of hours more (Eastern time here) as I'm transferring files NOW to dropbox folder so I can update download links in documentation.

I still need to verify the archive files , run some basic tests to see if everything is fine for release. Man, it takes a lot of time writing technical documentation to explain step by step.

I'm browsing the site next to see how to release add-on here at Xenforo site. I'll do Xenforo first before releasing to IPB.

I do not currently have linux and have no experience with it. Would my best option to be simply to download it and familiarize myself with it, or are there instructions for installing with Windows. Or, are both going to be overly difficult, and would you reccomend me paying for someone to set this up? (If so, does anyone know someone offering their services?)

Looks like a Casino addon already exists for Xenforo that was created by @bobster65 for his own forum but he does not have the time to release it and probably never will.

my members spend their virtual 'cash' in the Casino, Arcade, Sportsbook, Stock Trader, Pickem, Squares, Survival Football and Fantasy Football.

I'd love to do something like this. I wasn't aware there's a Casino addon for Xenforo? Did I miss it somewhere? Thanks.

I made a custom version based on the popular vB3x version. Its not something I will be releasing anytime soon (if ever) as I just do not have the time at the moment.

Also because it's a completely separate application, there is no information such as balance query you own will be displayed on the forum besides the difference of programming languages of forum and poker game. While this can be done to write custom services which allow external hooks to retrieve user's balance but there is no plan to do it yet.

Who has ideas to remedy this part?
I have not come up with anything better than the sync mongodb and mysql by cron.
Can synchronize every 10 minutes and also when spent money on forum for seperate user. But there may be a better way?

User balance is not stored in mongodb but in mysql. Only hand history is.

Retrieving user balance is quite complex. It's not just a simple mysql query since Cubeia's does all monetary calculations of a player sessions by summing credit/debit transactions. So there is no final total amount members currently has you can retrieve through sql query. It has to go through wallet rest service to get it.

I'm currently testing it using Active MQ to broadcast player balance for leaderboard which ajax calls receive them to display on front page.

The only clean way to display this in forum on the user profile is to provide restful webservices to return in JSON format for php to display on demand. It's not difficult to write it on my side for the webservices part which will also take cares of the linked xenforo id with cubeia's account id but for php which I have no knowledge, moders will need to write hooks to call the API.

That would be good.

Sorry for my english

Is anyone install this?
I try install on VPS with 2.5 RAM - error, no all processes will start.
Ok, i run in dedic with 4 gb ram + 4 gb swap - it start but use 3.8 gb ram.
Ok, i run on dedic with 8 gb ram - it start but use 7.8 gb ram
Another problem - no tables in game. I create tournament in admin part, create user and when login - no see table.
I think i do something wrong, but is anyone sucess with install?

$100 still up for grabs if you can make this. if you need more please message me so we can negotiate. main games we need are blackjack and poker. they must also be able to integrate with bdcredit and ******* credits.

alot of admins dont like casinos apparently http://xenadmins.com/threads/the-casino.337/


but my users do and its well worth the money to get this made. if you make it you can sell it in the resource manager

I think we'd get a lot of interest in Texas Hold'em so I'd be interested.

You chance is very slim to find some one who will take that offer. IMO $100 is ridiculous low to get something done to your satisfaction. I've spent lot of hours working on the board service for Cubeia open source poker. Those hours alone if I was to charge will be easily of couple of thousand dollars and many more for extra enhancements. But I did that only for fun and release it free of charge to the community.

As for poker, programming texas hold'em game is a big job. It's rather complex with so many factors. To cite a few , it deals with security, real time, strong authentication, multiplayer, turn based, cash persistence, in session chat and game logic.

Even when the job is done, the developer will never be there to fix bugs. Or if he can, there will be always extra fee.

But if you can afford powerful server with enough memory, you can install Cubeia's poker and the board service I wrote using Xenforo authentication. It's probably the best thing you can find right now without any cost. I myself had looked for such thing too but never found one and found Cubeia's open source poker fits the bill nicely specially knowing that Cubeia is also expert in gaming industry to trust their expertise of poker game logic.

If you don't know how good Cubia's poker is, test drive it at http://quarterpoker.com .

Do they have black jack? I just wanna play blackjack with forum money. It's my users who want poker.

You should be able to install it without error with V3 version as detailed and step by step instructions are posted in http://boardservice.org/community.
If you intend to install it again, I'll give full support on that test forum. Knowing your post is quite old but back then, a lot of changes has been committed and a lot of things have changed. eg. Cubeia has decided no longer to offer open source but luckily allowed a latest fully functional working version to the public known as AGPL dated mid May 2014.

I put up a demo over the test site which runs a phpBB3 board but all Xenforo versions are supported through configuration files only.

Also as of yesterday, I've decided to release boardservice to the open source community in the hope that more add-ons may be forked to add new features to the game and to keep greatness of Cubeia Poker open source game something worth having to forum softwares.

That's a lot of games. 11 games for $100? Then you need to create a lobby and these additional features:
- Cash Bonuses for actions that benefit your site
--- Posting
--- Starting threads
--- Referalls
--- Daily sign in
--- Giving rep
--- Recieving Rep
--- Voting
--- Rating threads

On top of that you want "realtime" action. Even with knowledge of creating almost everyone of these games, it still isn't worth the time of day even with 10 buyers from the get go.

edit: I almost forgot something. All the custom art for everyone of these games would cost at least $100.

@DRE I can't Message you...

I'd be willing to add $100 to the pool, if we could raise $1000 this would be more than a pipe dream. For just $100 for this mod in total undervalue's a pro coder's time at $20 per hour to bang out something from scratch in 5 hours. Never gonna happen.
