Whilst on StumbleUpon, I came across this Pretty .... logical :)

I'll happily contribute towards this part :)

Why not try; echo 'Posted Name: '. $_POST['name']; Just to see if it actually has a value. Second, you do not need all those 0's in your query, do the following INSERT INTO <table> (<column1>,<column2>) VALUES (<value1>,<value2>) and set the columns default to x Third, you should have said "A stack of needles, searching for a specific needle" as that is harder to locate, at least the needle is magnetic, therefore, use a metal detector. Of course metaphorically speaking ;) -sniko

That'll be cool, I'm imagining it now :P

@Octet I think it would be cool, and this is only a suggestion, if you had some sort of 'scene' in there? Familiarize the player with their surroundings before they play the game. The colours are great, but I think it would look 'better' or more .... enticing if you had a 'scene' to represent a 'Defender of the Kingdom'. Remember, only a suggestion ;)

@Arson Mind keeping your indecent language to a minimum. For one, it does not give a good view to people, especially when you rage like that. I don't wish to start a war with you, but for the future, would you mind?

Good find! I retract my comment.

It's got something to do with the ternary, line 20. But I'd like to question their method for using _GET. From first viewing, it looks fine.

Mind posting the section where it inserts the entry into the database? I believe the error is there.

...But the answer to your question, it is called query string.

Awesome, thanks DJK for two things, one, the mention, and second, the list. I'm sure it will help a lot of people!

Become Civil is a fictional game with many non-fictional aspects, but we're adding the gaming features, such as levels etc. We've spent a year on theory of the game, so we understand fully on how the game will mechanically work, and we understand how players will want to learn how to play. Become Civil is based on real life, a somewhat simulation, but will come across much more than that, and much more than a typical text-based-game. We believe it will change the way people interpret text-based-games and rejuvenize the industry. Become Civil has two distinct paths, businessman or criminal, with both interlinking, and forming unique game-play. This is a world where players construct their surroundings and make the game what they wish it to be. These two distinct paths are formed in a way which will link to each other. For example, if you choose to become a criminal, or do criminal acts, you can, for example, recruit criminals, and rob the vault of a user-created business, or extort a business. We feel this will entice users to play, and interact with one another quite often, therefore increasing the amount of time they will spend on the game. At the moment, the game is in development phase, and will be for some time, as we have a lot to create, as we've had a year of theory and research. The game is being built by myself from the ground up, and therefore will stand out from the crowd as no engine will be used, and features will be unique and so on. This was a tactical decision we made, as we feel this was the best approach to development. You can stay tuned with Become Civil through various media gateways; Facebook The Official Site Twitter I will try to keep these updated, but I cannot make any promises, as I am busy with programming the game. Become Civil is being developed by Become Studios, a young company, occupied by young entrepreneurs, hoping to make an impact in both, text-based and 3D Gaming. We [become Studios] have been developing the game for some time now, around 1 year. In that year, we've been doing mostly theory work, mechanics of the game, how everything will structure, and a few mock-ups of the game itself to get a feel of how those mechanics work in a game environment, and not just on paper. We hope the community will be as excited as we are about this game! Remember, stay connected through the various media gateways listed above! Thanks, Become Studios - sniko

Good plan! Again, I hope all goes well with it :)

@onlyaguy   You can very easily install McCodes without the aid of the installer. Here's how; Upload all the files to your server/localserver (www) Create a mysql user, and database (If you're on a server, not localserver (IE Wamp) Add the user to the database (Don't click `ALL PRIVILEGES`, think about it) Edit `config.php` with the relevant details Open up dbdata.(txt/sql) and copy and paste that into your database (PHPMYADMIN) Delete installer.php  

I second that. Also, good luck with your project :) I hope all goes well with it! May I ask, is it using the McCodes engine, or another one?

There are a few ways in which you can take the route to fix this; Run the query in crimes.php through phpmyadmin, to see the results shown, if any, and what error the query returns, if any. Add, at the end of the query or die(mysql_error()); and take action on what is shown If the query is run with variables includes, hold the query text in a variable, and echo that variable out, to see what the query is Double check everything, to see if there are any requirements that need to be met, for example, level 5, before it is shown.   Hope that helps.

There are a few improvements that are fundamentally needed; Move away from the stock template, make it flow with the genre of the game, I assume "goth". A somewhat story line, or something that will pull users back to play, at the moment, and sorry if this sounds harsh or irradical, it seems a little like the stock engine, with some content added What is this "hipsterizing" ? Uniqueness   I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not me flaming.

Then what was it supposed to mean? @OP Sorry for going off-topic. I wish you the best with sales.

Is that meant to be insulting....?

It all comes down to what you want to create. Look into both, and decide. McCodes has a bigger support, as proven by this community, but NWE does have potential to overtake McCodes, due to the way it's been structured.

Try downloading a local server application; wamp / lamp / xxamp, and experiment, relaying with the manual ;)

It's cool, but the blue image should 'flow' a little more ;) Also, try using div's and not tables. I'm not a guy who does the placement of things, but I hear that is the protocol nowadays. How about doing the following; Same page authentication, instead of directing to checklogin.php Put a password type on the passcode input   ;)

You may want to make that query more efficient on resources;   $db->query("UPDATE users SET hsteps=0");   to   $db->query("UPDATE users SET hsteps=0 WHERE `hsteps` > 0");   Otherwise, good modification! It'll be cool if the system relied on something, other than a random number, for example, a user stat :?

...And Paul gets attacked for continuing with his project, why? A lot of games get delayed (Check this) yet people still play the game, because of the way it functions, and the way it's unique. So [community], don't attack people who are trying to make their project the best it possibly can.
