Helpful advice, however, I've learned that good games with a base usergroup tend to do well The fastest way to advertise is word of mouth. You get enough loyal players, they'll bring more. Do some in-game Referral Incentives, that helps Then sit back, give it time :)

Isnt it tho?

As we are all trying to come up with our own ideas it's relatively hard to share them. You have many factors to take into affect. Just how skilled are you? How are you handling security and Layouts? What is your budget? What are things that you enjoy in games? We all enjoy differant games, I enjoyed prisonstruggle.com until it got bigger, and i love the werewolf/vampire theme type games, so I made one. Don't let us tell you what you like :)

If i put something along the lines of function html_array($r = false) { if (!(($r) || is_array($r))) { return false; } $ret = array(); foreach ($r as $key=>$val) { $ret[$key] = htmlentities($val,ENT_QUOTES); } return $ret; } in global_func then use html_array for all output and mres for all input on all my scripts that required it, Would this be a huge step to security if i took the time out to do it?

The last I checked, you tried to hack my site and Epicly Failed. Then used bots because that's all you could do. ooo Then claimed it was all just trying to "help" and used your base 64 encode..

Replace script with updated one :-) Just took out the sqlpro and added exit; function.   Can't beleive a known malicious hacker is trying to tell me things wrong. Mirror much? :O

Quite the contrary it does not "fail" Proper use of clean functions, strip tags, htmlentities, Plus the sql.pro i have, is just extra security. And it's not the "original" off cronwerks, it's been heavily modified. Thanks for trying tho :D Original Post updated, didnt think to remove that><

Yea, I just see to many of them :-) I went with a Vampire/werewolf/human theme, seen some do dwarves, mages etc. Be original :)

Just try and make them original. I've seen WAAAAAAAAAAAY to many games with the exact same mods, it gets a bit dull. Frankly, personally, I'm tired of the "mafia" crap anywho. But not hating on your game ;-) Just not my thing. Good Luck in your endeavors.

Ah hell he did didnt he >< Oh well, i just spent 2 hours making this po-dunk one so I'm gonna post it :p This basically gives users 5 presants to open. They can only open Each present one time. 2 of them give random money/points but have a slim chance they can go to jail or hospital. the other 3 give random items from your inventory Hope someone uses this >,<   ALTER TABLE users ADD xmas tinyint(4) default '0'; Make file called xmas.php <?php include_once (DIRNAME(__FILE__) .

So i'm thinking about making a Christmas Mod for users to Open Presents from Santa. Users will receive items, money, crystals, or a Random chance to receive rare items you have in your game. Will only be able to open on a set date. Anyone use this? If so i'll get it done and post it up

Well hell, you just let my idea out of the bag i wanted to get something really nice done for xmas gift >< Thanks Illusions

Really now, I just trimmed/cleaned data with sprintf and abs intval'd the form data. What more can I do, Enlighten me :) i have an sql function that does everything else with a simple Include.

The layout isnt bad, Not much to do, no original Mods Just your average McCodes game :P Header is chucking out a division by zero error   Decent security, tried a few hacks. not full proof, but not bad.

I do see one thing :P $query1 = sprintf("UPDATE `users` SET money = money - $cost WHERE `userid`=$userid"); mysql_query($query1); You sprintf but didnt sprint f anything :P hehe should be $query1 = sprintf("UPDATE `users` SET money = money - %u WHERE `userid`= %u", $cost, $userid); $db->query($query1); OR   $db->query(sprintf("UPDATE `users` SET money = money - %u WHERE `userid` = %u", $cost, $userid));   But good work :)

Nice little mod :) I like mine tho >,< hehe

What does how long you spend have anything to do with anything? Your site got hacked because you woke up one day with a bug up your A** to make a site. You didn't bother learning anything just decided, hey i'll go steal a V2 version off the internet, make my own game and be rich! heh. News flash, doesnt work that way.

Original Script Updated + More Security added.

It has nothing to do with you being "New" It has to do with 8 Months ago I just started all this myself The differance is. I used what little brain I had and researched before i started. I learned to pull down register, I already knew html basics(as almost any 3 year old does), AND I NEVER gave out info to my site. Hell no one here knows it yet. for the most part and it's secured as I can make it. Because there is always more i learn and can do. It's your own fault for posting on the boards your account info and such when your site isnt secured. You say it's happened 5 times? Wouldnt the warning be after the first time to not let public your info?

LMAO Zero. Nice.   IF your site ISN'T secure, why would you publicly post a link and an account? Use Pm's. Other than that, better to find out now before you get 1000's of users and they all get porn. lol this is amusing. You were asking HTML questions but you are coding a PHP website. See the problem? ;)

What in the h E double hockey sticks are you rambling on about?

There are currently 3 people who have purchased this mod as well as myself have it running add my msn I'll give you info as i currently have Login pulled to work on site :) [email protected]

Meh Uncle, I can't get it to work >,< Everything is 100% but the stat Add and statmarket for me   I had it posting to the market earlier but i copied your updated code and now it's not working :P Cant remember wth i did to get it to work either or what has changed >,< When it was posting to the market the STAT column was blank as well

Ok.   With the changes you have to make with statadd.php it doesnt work properly. If i use the original, it posts everything but the Stat into market, so i'm a bit closer to fixing.   on the Market itself, When removing my stat QUERY ERROR: Duplicate entry '7' for key 1 Query was INSERT INTO implants (statid, userid, stat, amount, stat_type) VALUES ('7', '1','','14.0510','1') Is the error i get :P

Gave this mod a test run last night. 2 things.   One, You didnt put what to Label Each .php page so it took me a few to figure it out =P Two, I'll go through it, but I'm getting errors when trying to add stats to market. Page keeps refreshing like I didnt add, so :P Other than that...I cant beleive you didnt make this a paid mod =)
