It worked for me on a computer browser. It was interesting....

That is a perfect solution 😉 Good job.

$db->query("UPDATE `users` SET `steps`= 100 WHERE `steps` < 100");

Just curious, do you have a price range in mind ? Also, kinda off topic, what it is up with the original domain www.prisonstruggle.com ? Did you buy "Version 2" from someone ? I ask because normally when you open a second server, its not as popular as the original.

What type of error message do you get ? Upon first glance the script you posted looks like it should work. I think Magictallguy is on the right track and the problem lies in the connection.

I'm interested in selling my game. This includes thugbattle.com and thugbattle2.com. Make me an offer.

Hello, welcome to the forums. Just wanted to say, great article :)

Hello Everyone, Introduction: My name is Curt, I'm 26 and live in Florida. I have been in the text based gaming business for over 4 years now. I recently pushed forward with plans to create a new game, using my current game as a starting point. I have been thinking seriously about creating a partnership with equal share over the new game. I want to see who may be interested, this could be a nice opportunity for us both.   TITLE: Hobo Battle(http://www.hobobattle.com)   GAME DETAILS: Game is based off Mccodes Script. Most of the script has been changed to use PDO. Game will be similar to mafia style games.   TECHNOLOGY USED: NGINX,PHP,Javascript,HTML,MYSQL   CURRENT DEVELOPMENT: A few tweaks made to economy. New School system. Pre-Registration available. Custom layout from http://www.Bluetrendz.com.   MY SKILLS: PHP - I have an understanding of the language. Troubleshooting - I am decent at troubleshooting and resolving issues. Management - I have 4+ years of game managing experience.   WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR: I am looking for someone to invest the time and effort into creating one of the best text based games on the internet. Someone with a good understanding of Javascript is a huge plus.   EXPENSES: All expenses will be covered by proceeds earned from http://www.Hobobattle.com.   CURRENT TEAM: Curt   SHARE/GAIN OF PARTNERSHIP: We will each have an equal share in the game.   Looking forward to hearing from you, Curt

Go to your offline game and run the cron directly through the the browser. If the page comes up blank, then you have no errors in the cron file and the problem is on cpanel side. the link would be something like: localhost/yourgame/cron_fivemins.php?code=YOURCODEFOUNDINCONFIG I hope that helps. Also if your cron file is working right, it could be your host. most hosts don't like mintute/five minute crons.

From what you said, this sounds like a simple SQL "hack". Review your script and make sure any $_GET/$_POST is secure. Seeing as this is a credit feature, I would assume all form data is numbers. In that case simply do $_GET['your_var_here']=abs((int)$_GET['your_var_here']);

Danny ! Welcome back, long time no see. Or I should say, hate to see ya go...you where pretty good. I hope your moving on to bigger better things. Nice work releasing your engine.

Over the past year or so I have not been very social online. I was pretty active here at one time as was the rest of the community but I see things have dwindled down quite a bit. I see 50+ guests on so I guess its not too bad..lol A couple years ago I bought a couple domains hoping to put them to use one day but so far nothing has come of it. - hobobattle.com - Mafia type game - ( I know right ***) - Anyway when I bought this domain my thoughts where to develop thug battle into a stable system and basically use a clone with economy adjusted and other things fixed that I did wrong as a first time game owner. I still think this can be achieved. - yourrpg.com - At first I was thinking of a top vote site, but lately I have been leaning toward a Gaming Network that owns/buys/develops premium text based games. I am not the type of person who scams people and I believe it tarnishes your integrity. Its just bad juju man. I guess that's enough rambling. The entire time I have owned thugbattle.com I have been the sole developer other than paid/free mods(which I probably modified). I have decided that some freelancing may help my game. One thing mainly, is I need someone to review scripts that I either created or modified and find database/scripting/security deficiencies. There may be jobs to create new features as well. A second opinion is always great to have. Compensation can be discussed via PM. I am also opening my mind to partnerships, but that is an entire different topic. My Game Info: - Started with Mccodes V2 as a base. (I was brand new to programming and MCCODES was easiest to understand) - PHP, MYSQL. Converting to PDO. Some Javascript. If you have any questions post them here or PM me.

Ravans script = Mccodes You should find all the info you need.

I'm not aware any agreement you guys had other than what you mentioned in your other post. If you really wanted the layout why didn't you put in a bid ?...30$ seemed pretty cheap to me. I have a domain called yourrpg.com that this layout should fit nice on, with a few adjustments. Nothing personal man, just working to expand.

I will get you started bud. 35$ Bid.

A tip for you is to visit other popular games similar to yours and see what kind of features they are offering. I have created features very similar to those in other games. It's important to be original but its also important to have features that players enjoy using.(even if its the same as another game.) I'm not saying go out an clone your favorite game because that will most likely end in a fail. Also from experience and owning a game for 3 years now, I can say its not any kind of get rich quick plan and it takes a lot of time and dedication. Good Luck

Doesn't look too bad at all. Nice,simple and clean.

I just want to comment that visually it looks great. The zombie game looks even better. You guys have a great artist.

http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-PHP-PDO.html That is a great tutorial if anyone is interested.... I don't need any help with it, I seem to understand it so far. Thanks for the offer though.

I was introduced to PDO recently and it seems nice from what I have learned about it so far. I am curious about others opinions about it. I noticed its built in with new PHP versions. Seems like a rather old function but I have never heard mention of it here. I searched pdo and found nothing so I figured I'll make a thread.

$shalli = ($ir['agility'] > $them['agility']) ? 1 : 0;   IF $ir['agility'] is GREATER THAN $them['agility'] then $shalli equals 1 otherwise $shalli equals 0 I'm assuming that if $shalli equals 1 then the attacker hits first, otherwise the victim gets the first hit.

It seems like there should be some kind of legal action you could take against this.

Nice mod Sniko...this is a popular feature in my game. im gonna look into Octarines mentioned method to maybe update my version of name images.

Happy Birthday :) Hope you have a good one.
