Hey I have been modding Xbtit old and new hacks (51 hacks at the moment) to work with xbtit (2.1.0) rev.594.

I'm try to get my hands on "[HACK] Invite System by dodge" (http://www.btiteam.org/smf/index.php?topic=13790.0) but is a "Premium" hack so i can not download it.

in CyBerFuN_xBTiT_Fully_MoDDeD the hack is install i try to hack it into xbtit (2.1.0) rev.594. but there is one file (or more) missing (usercp.invitations.php).

If someone cod kindly post the hack :)

also I'm try to get "[HACK] Advanced Auto Donation System by DiemThuy" http://www.btiteam.org/smf/index.php?topic=15062.0 (also a Premium hack).

I will be posting Xbtit with working mods/hacks ASAP.

Will probably be full of holes cos peeps like you think just cos you can add loads of hacks into xbtit you are some sort of supreme coder when in fact its so easy to make a fully modded version in one day. But have you looked through all these hack's you have obtained and installed I bet not they are probably all old outdated versions with no patches so are useless and lol revision 2.1.0 594 by the time you finish that it will be useless so forget it.

Creating & distributing a modified version of xbtit is fine as long as you stick to your own hacks or hacks have been released on the open source forums. The moment you add a hack that hasn't been released to Open Source by either the hack author or Lupin you are breaching copyright laws.

We will be lodging a formal complaint to sourceforge about Cyberfun's inclusion of the Invitation hack on the grounds of Copyright Violation which is prohibited by their Terms of Use.

If you plan to release your own modified version then you'd be wise to stick to including only open source hacks. I'm not trying to discourage you, Creating your own version is a good thing as long as you stick to the Open Source material.

However kickass is right, anyone can add hacks to xbtit so unless you know what you're doing and have the ability to rewrite the code to optimise it and reuse pre-existing queries rather than just creating more queries like most hacks do then you'll just end up with something that runs very slowly the moment you have more than a few users browsing the site.
