  1. Well then you may want to look here - Partly (Well, fully) Re-coded Lite however honestly you may want to look at other engines. If “bob” has any programming knowledge I suggest something like ezrpg. If not I would suggest learning.
  2. It's not really an error, it's the default of the switch(), that is why the links all have something on the end e.g. “file.php?action=gwar” just call the file, and you get that echoed out.
  3. Pay for a better host. Use - [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons Use external crons, such services are around.
  4. @ a_bertrand – I actually agree with you. My main hope is that it will speed developmental up, and as a bonus I add extra knowledge of a Js library for later. I plan to do a “Mini project” to test it time wise: if it's slower/about the same, I will stay with doing it all with raw Javascript. readability is not bad with jquery anyway, but that's not why I am trying out libraries. @bluegman991 – Did you try any others? Why Jquery?
  5. Thanks for the feedback. I normally use raw JavaScript, this is the first full project were I feel it's worth using a library. Yes, I fall into the “Why load Jquery just to use one function” category. Anyway... I am going to look into some of the YUI modules pointed out, thanks for that Djkanna. Danny, prototype is now next on my test list. :)
  6. So today I have been looking into Javascript libraries/frameworks as I realized I never really gave anything apart from Jquery a fair test. Since my current project is using a lot more Javascript I figure it's time I give a look into others. I started as we all do: I used google to find new things. I ended up finding a nice list of libraries, and give a few full tests that I have previously tried along with some new ones. They included - http://jquery.com/ http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ http://mootools.net/ There were a few others (around 6 more), however I would like to see what people say about their personal experiences/experiments, and I am hoping even more will be posted here so I may have a play at a later date. Anyway... My main question is, what libraries/frameworks – if any – do you use, and why? What others did you try, and why did you discount them?
  7. Depends what kind of game... I mean text based e.g. mcc, then yes levels, no high money, no high stats. If it's something like a turn based game... then I would want people around my level (going on war based here) so I can attack, and expand, but people higher to avoid power mongers: so high people attacking everyone for fun, and taking everything preventing people growing. So depends what area you're going for. Balance is important in any game. Just make sure it's playable by new members, but does not get boring for higher/older players.
  8. edit - missed 1/2 the post above :whistling:
  9. What editor are you currently using? Take a look into IDEs as they tab for you. Just makes life easy, that is of course is only one of many things they do... Also you could look at - How to make your code readable
  10. Thanks. I will be looking through some of the links a little later. :)
  11. What's not working? Any error? What version are you using? (I see two posted) When saying you have an error, please be as detailed as possible e.g. are you adding this to a default page, any edits you have made, error message being shown etc...
  12. I don't see that... :P
  13. Been using this all day, and i must say i like it more then i did before. Was not a fan of firefox 3, however i am going to be using 4.
  14. Well I agree mysqli should now be used were possible I still believe mysql_ is very viable to use/practice with if you’re going to be using anything open source as most still use mysql rather than mysqli. It’s not really outdated in terms of support either so for something like this it’s more than adequate. Btw – nice post Dayo. :) EDIT - gave it a little test, and got an error. will take a better look in the morning (right now I looked at a file quickly + installed) You seems to include “template/...” but have called the file “templates” this gives us an error. Easy fix: take the “s” out the file name. ;) Also you could give a small example of the filters by using filter_validate_email in the register page.
  15. How about you give it a go, post what you come up with, and we point out anything that’s wrong? Kind of simple table – if you’re going that way – username/id of staff member, password (with some kind of hash), then a small page similar to what’s already here to test the password vs the database one. If you go for something like this – with no table – even easier since it’s mostly there anyway. Never going to learn if you don’t jump into it. :)
  16. Was it a user thing or did you mange to do it? If it was a user do you know how they did it? E.g. give the link in prefs, change what's on the end of that link. It’s still giving a link in the new version right?
  17. Are you talking about this kind of thing? Auto-Admin Hack. If so, and done by a user, would the user own the site the “image” was on Or was it an image upload site?
  18. congratulations. :)
  19. If he wants a mail sent to the user, and an event sent to id 1 then going with days old is a bad idea. If they login twice in a day - or more as some people do - they will get a mail each time.
  20. Event_send is not an mccodes function (it's event_add). Also danny is right just ask if last_login = 0 then do an insert into the user's mailbox.
  21. http://uk2.php.net/getimagesize You could also try [mccode v2.x] Different way of going about 'User Display Pictures'.
  22. They are not in the banner. Mwg had more for mccodes then it did for any other engine long before mccodes bought the site mainly due to it being the main engine on the site. If the site evens out to more of the general game development site (as it should be anyway) then it would not matter if they are equal. Saying that even if it stays mainly focused around mccodes, the fact the Boards have changed won't massively affect where people post. They won't change engine/ post about something non-mccodes, just because of how the site is presented. As said the site was never aimed at being only an mccodes support forum, even the mccodes owners have stated this on several occasions. The aim of this is to bring the rest of the site more alive. I doubt anyone will be against the tightening of the rules part.
  23. Mccodes area suggestion main one called “mccodes general”? Free mods Paid mods Requests, and development stages (deals with under production also) Mccodes support (can deal with mod, and engine support) Tips, and tutorials Anyway... It's still mccodes' site, and it's probably going to remain a main section no one is saying it won't be, or if they are they are think VERY long term. Moving away does not mean not posting there at all. Honestly the site is still separate, and more can be put into other sections. You have to remember anything we do to take it in a different direction needs community support... If people are willing to try new things then it will move. So the real question is are people willing to go with us, and do more then post about mccodes? If you want something just linked for mccodes licence holders it will in fact be giving up a lot (support is mainly done by people who do not hold a licence).
  24. You still don't need 6 queries just to update. ;) Would say to anyone to use this :- [mccode v2.x] Healing Arua
  25. ^ Was more aimed at that post.
