Wanting the ability for multiple users in a feature he already has is not really going to make his site a copy of Torn...

It's the core aspect of what you can build a site from. It would defeat the object of an engine such as this one to has to many pre-installed features. You seem to be thinking more of the "Mccodes engine" where it's created to run a very specific type of game. This is designed to allow the user (in this case the one who downloads it) a place to start. It has what you would need in order to add features without building the core of the engine. This does not mean it has everything you need for your game right off the bat. It's there to make life easy. The plug-in system is there to work with you to build something unique. As I said... it would defeat the object of such an engine to come pre-installed with too many features.

What peter said...

Well depending on what you mean by basic there are many ways to get going with PHP. First off the video way of learning – since you seem to want that – there is always youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/betterphp Fairly new channel, but has some good stuff on there already. I would suggest you start by following the blog tutorial since it has a lot of stuff explained. There is also a “basics” playlist that goes over some stuff such as variables. I am however not sure where what you know starts, and ends at the moment. The blog covers a lot. http://www.youtube.com/user/phpacademy This channel has more of the basics, and goes over a fair amount of projects. I am unsure how many of his older videos are now redone, but don't watch anything older than 6 months+. Some of his videos had some real issues. They are currently being redone... I am unsure how far he is with that. http://www.youtube.com/user/thenewboston#p/search/1/iCUV3iv9xOs Has 200(ish) PHP videos going from the very basics, and moving up. They are from PHP academy, and go over things that should be on his channel anyway, but for some reason they are not. There are also some videos on other languages if you feel like branching out at any point. Jquery is also covered with about 200 videos for those who want to try it. Now the more written way. http://net.tutsplus.com/category/tutorials/php/ http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp http://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php http://www.tizag.com/phpT/ Not really sure what else to say. If you need help feel free to post. There are many more channels, but they are the ones I consider worth pointing people to. There are so many written websites I can't find the time to list them all. On the orginal topic – never given the site a go. Sorry.

You mean this? http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/36505-MCCodes-Copyright-Information

Raven has always had a check in place... at least I thought so. I could be wrong.

It's not an error, the database has the field type set to "INT". http://help.scibit.com/mascon/masconMySQL_Field_Types.html

If you use one of the game engines I would suggest one of the less used ones. In any case I believe stand alone application would be better. You could just have a contest where people create a function to do a set job e.g. Give as much information about this images as possible. Question is what would the people who voted "yes" want to do?

There was no need for 4 posts in a row...

Original thread moved, and merged with the second one. Please ask someone to move it next time. Just to check, you did not just post a paid mod right?

Check the query that removes the user from the list. Make sure it's working, and the correct values are being passed. Post the part of the script that is failing to work... and why do you now have two threads about this?

It's free support... Go into cronwerks, and find the "my mods" link (your-mods.php). On that page there is a support link for each mod.

Raven script is mccodes being illegally sold. I would assume the problem is raven checks if yours domain name is valid using a list of licences. I would assume yours is not paid for? Go, and buy mccodes from the official site (Mccodes.com) or choose another engine. Even a paid version of raven script is still illegal. If I am wrong fair enough. I can't really help much if I can't see the file. ;)

Check if magic quotes are on, and if they are turn them off. http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php - What magic quotes are. http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php - Check if they are on.

How do you associate the the item owned (stored in the database) to the item information from the array, and how does the time to do this vs the execution time of the query look when put next to each other? I am rather interested if you have any figures. If not what method are you using so I am able to test it. Another problem I can see is how do you allow staff members to add in game content? Don't forget very few sites will have staff trusted enough to be allowed full access. Sometimes the slightly slower route is more practical.   CodeIgniter is a framework. By it's very nature it's designed to help development time, however this is at the cost of some execution time. For example at the start (or more or less the start) of running your application it starts timing the execution time of the entire application. Now this is a rather useful feature to be sure, but it's also wasting time when the application goes live. This is one of many examples I could give for this framework, therefore unless you have edited it's core it's not really considered optimized for most peoples needs. I am in no way saying it's not worth using a framework, for most it's a good option, but it's not the first thing you think of when you have optimization in mind.

You seem to be using mysql_real_escape_string() on numbers e.g. "money", you should be casting them as a number rather then using mres.

How big/small are you looking to make the project? For example a user profile system could cover everything from just a login & profile page all the way to login,profile, edit settings, stats (for whatever that site may be... e.g. visits) etc... So how mini is "mini"?

If you had a link rather then having to pm you more people would try. ;)

Kind of depends on the challenge for me. I won't spend hours on something, but at the same time it's a waste to do something with only 10 lines...

I have not used any of the up to date versions of dreamweaver, but I did use 8 (I think it was 8), and it's not like that has a "WYSIWYG" for php. using it only negates the need to know some HTML such as tables, and most people don't even use that aspect of dreamweaver... I never did. Saying it's for noobs for this ability is a strange idea.

What's not working? errors?

No it's set inside the function.

Fair enough, but the check_level() is more or less the same. http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/39128-New-Leveling-up-system! I did not read the whole thread myself, but if the fix has been posted take a look back over the posts. :)

Number 5 may have some practicality issues when you store who has what item, and using a Framework is going to slow your application down as it's going to load things you don't use. I would be shocked if you use everything on something like a web games anyway. None the less interesting read.

Well I am in the room with a labrador, and asking him may be pointless. I will type if you don't mind. ;)
