This is far from obvious so I'll address it in next How to version, thanks for bringing it up

Ah, for some reason I never thought to try the whole word(s), lol. Sorry for making it seem like a bug existed when it didn't, but thanks for crediting me with a suggestion.

Download gwBBCode 1.6.2
If you update, replace all files but the img_skills directory.
If you install, read details in INSTALL.TXT

v1.6.2 changelog:

Feature: Skill abbreviations support, e.g [RoF], [rof], [rez sig], as suggested by CoRrRan. (watch for guild tags.. and propose new abbreviations here)
Feature: [[email protected]] abbreviation for [skill air=8]Shock[/skill], as suggested by Lucas [FTW].
Fix: phpBB's preview before posting. The reason it wasn't working still is a mystery.
Fix: Readable build attributes and descriptions, thanks to Killsless.
Update: Meaningful profession images, as proposed by Minerve.

It works really nice. We got it on our forums too.

We do have a problem with the mesmer PD elite but that seems a forum problem.. We'll fix it.

But Thanks again for the really nice software

gwShack seems to be having trouble with its regular domain name, probably due to recent server relocations. In the meantime, http://www.gwshack.us works fine. (If a gwShack link isn't working, just add 'www.' before 'gwshack' in the URL)

Hello all

I was able to install gwbbcode just fine, but when I go into post a message I don't see anything for creating a build.

Do I have to connect to a special file (php) in the root of the gwbbcode?
I tried opening the elite.php file via a webpage, but the only thing that came up was "Outdated"

Any help anyone can offer would be great.

Thanks

Unless you add the buttons yourself, you have to do it manually I believe. In the file you downloaded there should be a file with template examples of how to use the code.

elite.txt should work, even though elite.php doesn't

Just copy and paste the .txt file into a message and you should be able to see the gist of it

gwBBCode 1.7.0 has been released! Download

If you update, replace all files (including the img_skills directory). No need to run install.php again but the 'How to' changed (gwbbcode/examples/howto.txt) to explain Command or Earth Prayers level specification in builds.
If you install, read details in INSTALL.TXT

v1.7.0 changelog:

Update: Rewrote the whole skill database including Nightfall skills, by Coran Ironclaw and I;
Fix: Lots of new skill related bugs reported by CoRrRan.

I realize this thread is old, but I just searched the net for GWBBcode and found this here. I recommend GWGuru changes to this instead of the wiki thing we have because the Wiki one is just hard to read... This is so much easier to see.

I think the reason that Guru doesn't use it (yet) is because gwBBcode isn't made for vBulletin at first. There is an install for it (which I use on my board and works perfectly).
As far as I know the next version of gwBBcode will have a specially made installer for lots of different forum softwares including vBulletin (correct me if I'm wrong Liu Pi

).

As of yet it isn't planned.
Personally I don't think it would be that hard to port but thats up to Liu Pi or someone who knows the IPB code and can port it.

gwBBcode is still being updated constantly.
Last Update: gwBBCode 1.7.1
* Feature: Ability to download the skill template file of a build;
* Feature: New skill popup border, designed by KillsLess;
* Feature: Attribute level 0..12..16 skill descriptions instead of 0..15;
* Feature: Template id rendering, e.g [build=ATNxweMcnLdJpecXnICkaiJA];
* Feature: "nosave" attribute to hide template save icons: [build pof=Mo/Me nosave], as suggested by apoguita;
* Feature: MyBB support;
* Feature: Ability to force installation on supported but undetected forum software;
* Fix: Expertise affecting more skills than attacks, Rituals, touch skills and Ranger Skills;
* Fix: [No Skill] icon showing a description pop-up;
* Fix: And database file size reduced under 500KB.

If you want to be more up to date just check the gwBBcode forum.

Are there any forum hosting sites out there that allow you to add gwBBCode? Currently using invisionfree but someone said that you can't, so now I'm trying to find one that can.

Do you know how to setup your own forum from scratch or do you need a site that has one prebuilt? If you can set it up yourself, I use byethost as my host since it's free and has great uptime %. If you can't set it up yourself, you may wish to look into that possibility in the future. It took me less than a day to learn from zip knowledge and it opens up a lot of possibilities for you.

Every prebuilt forum host I've used had nasty long downtimes from being hacked, etc so I can't help ya there.

Has anyone tried to implement this system in SMF (Simple Machines Forum)? I am currently running on v1.1.2 for SMF and would love to have this capability, however my Php knowledge is still pretty new.

how convient for you that I just faced this same issue. not only did I get it running I also packaged it for easy install and even made an addon mod that adds drop downs for all the skills on the post page.

be sure to note the different mod if you have the arcade installed

As it is, gwBBCode would slow these forums but I'm also working on a Javascript version that won't have this side effect.

Could you possibly pm me when you complete the java version because my guild uses invisionfree and you cant edit the correct files to make the current versions work my ign is Monk of Destony i would be willing to pay GW gold for it.

would have helped if you'd stated specifically who you were talking to, but thanks for working on the SMF stuff. Might make you're own thread here for it. (If you have, I've missed it)

Thanks for sharing us a free host, it's really a good one. Now all I have to do is find a free domain name.

EDIT: Oh and for the ones who don't know how to set up your own forum, signup at byethost, download phpbb to your computer and download a ftp program like cuteftp. Now unzip your phpbb file, and upload the whole map to your host by using cuteftp. After that, read the install instructions.
Great now you've set up the forum, you can use the gwbb hack. Download gwbb, upload it to the phpbb folder by using cuteftp. Then again, read the install instructions, easy as that.

Grats, your forum is ready to use!
(be sure to read all instructions of byethost, cuteftp, phpbb and gwbb)

I can't implement, however.
This is, because my site runs DragonflyCMS, with a customized version of PHPBB2, called ForumsPro.

If I would know what code, to put in what files, then I could implement it...

Anyone that can lend a helping mind/hand?

Thanks.

Use a forum that DOES support gwbbcode.

@Liu Pi

Nice work man

@question

I have installed gwbbcode on phpbb 2.0.22. It works great but i still wonder;

Some people are talking about clicking on the skills generating a gwbbcode, i've not encountered that yet in my own forum. Its not in the readme either.

Maybe its just me.. but how can i make that work?

Very likey you can adapt the code to work with Invision, as the edits are quite simple to do. Try checking on the gwBB code forum to see if anybody has already figured this out and posted the method, this is what I did for my alliance site and that is running on Joomla and SMF, it's usually pretty simple to do.

Webber, usually if the gwbb code is used correctly a little disk icon appears that you can click on and this gives you a template code that you can copy and use in Guild Wars, either go check on the gwbbcode site, or read the included build template guide that comes with the files. I also believe that with some Php coding knowledge it is possible to recode this feature so that you can actually save the template code as a .txt file, which is used by the template saving/loading facility in Guild Wars.

thats not the problem at all, fputs in a txt is not hard.. but i thought there was a tool.. at the place you are making your reply... where the smileys are etc...

a gwbbcode builder. where you can click the skills, new build .. end build... like b and b*

For that you would need to add a selector (most probably a pull down) to your post form, each item on the selector. Bit time consuming really though considering just how many skills there are, when at the end of the day you can add the skills just by typing their names. An alternative would be to add the skills as smileys, making these clickable in the smiley list, as this would then enter the skill name for you, again time consuming however, plus I would be concerned that this would create a clash between the forum softwares emote system, and the gwbbcode system.

If you are willing to put in the time though, option 1 is both simple to implement and easy to code. Personally though I have no desire to spend that much time adding all of the skills to a selector in a form, adding radio buttons to the form for start of build and end of build however would be much easier to do.
