It will be pretty much the same tech stack to support backwards compatibility. I do have ideas to improve on the stack as it is 10 years old now.

@sniko would you mind if i converted this to GL?

It will be genre less out of the box but ill be making several mods so that people can make it into the genre they want There wont even be bullets in the game that will be a module

Let me start off with saying Gangster Legends and Gangster Legends Premium will be around to stay for the foreseeable future. But there will be some major changes to the game engine. The first and biggest change will be de-coupling the game engine from the game (if that makes sense). The core game engine will be a stripped down version of Gangster Legends, removing all Gangster/Mafia aspects of the game. The core engine will then be rebranded as openPBBG. Gangster Legends will become a module bundle (like Gangster Legends premium currently is) that is very easy to install. OpenPBBG will now ship with the current theme builder with some upgrades (including the upgrade form bootstrap 3 to bootstrap 5, with a converter to keep backwards compatibility) Over the next few months i will be working on some more generic non-mafia style mods and themes to open up more opportunities to developers. If there are any genres that you think would be good to work on please post below 😉

I would personally go with something like IONOS or Namecheap VPS where you can start off small and upgrade as and when needed. It’s hard to work out a figure if X users = $Y as it varies depending on what you have installed. If you have something like an ajax chat active that puts more load on the server.

There are two issues here 1) She has lost her site files - Ali there is nothing you can do here 2) She bought modules from MWG from you Ali - She should have access to these files and they should be bug free

looking good, nice work!

I've had 300 people online at once on a GL v2 Game with some minor optimisations. It was on a VM on my own dedicated host. But the equivalent server would cost you like £25/$30 per month.

Just a PSA, just because you use PDO dosen't make it secure i.e. <?php $sql = "SELECT name, color, calories FROM fruit WHERE color=" . $_GET["color"] . " ORDER BY name"; foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) { print $row['name'] . "\t"; print $row['color'] . "\t"; print $row['calories'] . "\n"; } I saw someone so a finds and replace of mysql_query to $db->query thinking that would "secure their site"

this is why you should use something like git

I still find word of mouth being the best way to advertise

they are HTML WYSIWYG editors, any text you put in here will be displayed on the login page above and below the login/register forms

ill see about adding this to the core, its a great idea!

The big problem with GL is some content is database driven some is hard coded with the template. I do think when i do the multi lingual support you will only be able to make GL Dutch, German, French etc ... You wont be able to have a game that is both Dutch and French

If you want to change the menu links they are all generated from the .hooks.php files. i.e. if you wanted to change the crimes menu hook you would go to modules/installed/crimes/crimes.hooks.php in there you will see a hook to generate the menu item. Its designed like this so that if you de-activate a module the menu link will go without you having to edit another file

Im still looking to buy some mods, hit me up if you are available

The fact that 60% of the modules are paid and 40% are free is a bit of a problem it makes the initial investment to start a game very high, Thats why I've reduced the price of GL premium. I have been releasing mods for free lately but only a few people will release stuff for free. Granted big mods shouldn't be free as it has to pay for the developers time. my rule of thumb is if it took less than a hour to code ill give it away for free. Feel free to suggest some small mods and ill see what i can do. Ill also happily code up any themes for GL.

a quick and dirty way to do it would be changing $userChance = $userCrimeChance[($crimeInfo["C_id"] - 1)]; to $userChance = 100;

If you are editing locally on myr machine you can do a find in files search for var_dump, also i think cPanel and plesk have this feature too

Looking forward to seeing it. Does it follow a theme like mafia/sci fi or is it generic?

Soon as in 2024 ... 👀 I will get round to doing it but its been pretty hectic the past month or so

Im looking to have some custom mods made up, these would have to be non-distributable and follow the GL core (bootstrap V3). If you are interested PM me and ill give you more details.

Over the past year or so myself and my business partner have been making a game of our own called "Mafia Order". After a successful BETA we are finally ready to launch on the 12th September at 17:00 UTC! About Mafia Order Mafia Order is based in 1922 America, a place filled with bootlegging, criminals and heists. You are encouraged to live in a world where there’s a lot of criminal activity to partake in and multiple families you can affiliate with. In fact, once you join the Mafia Order game, your focus is to try and figure out exactly which family you want to be a part of. Features When developing our game we have tried to think outside of the box when developing new features, for example: PvP fighting RPG style Item system with 400+ items Family tree/structure Player & family perks Crime/loot system Reputation system Plus many more features ...
