To me, it doesn't seem like a major distinction as long as you can kill with IGC. Either they will heal afterwards from 0 or come out of the hospital, right? You'll have to forgive me in case that answer is not considering everything. It's been a long time since I have seen MCcodes, and I don't remember how it goes. Please make a post in this thread if you get it in there. :)

Is there PvP in this engine? I didn't see it in the demo is why I ask.

Is this still in the works? Site mentioned seems to be dead now. I am back to looking for an engine to use. There are a ton of basically abandoned or not updated in years projects, but it actually seems to be pretty hard to find a good one that is being actively developed.

Which engine do you guys recommend for bringing a game onto Facebook? As for the type of game, it would have missions, NPCs to fight, player battles, and the usual. I would be interested in paying to have custom features developed, but I figure it can save a lot of money by starting with an engine. I have tried a couple, but have not found something yet that seems to be the right fit.

I hope I have put this in the best category. Please feel free to move it if there's a better location. I have an existing online game. It uses a highly modified version of a script you can buy online (although I don't see it mentioned anywhere in the forums here). I paid a couple people to work on it for over a year, who are no longer available. The game runs "ok" sometimes, but no matter how high-end the server is I put it on, it performs poorly to very poorly sometimes as well. It does not seem to ever run great anymore. I am not a PHP programmer. I know ASP, VB classic, and VB.NET, but have never learned PHP. I am looking to pay someone to help me get it running well. If you are confident that you can help, please send me a PM with an estimate (I know it may not be exact until you see the code, but I need a ballpark) on how much you'd charge to help. Thank you.

Is there somewhere I can find instructions/downloads for doing so?

Thanks for the replies. I believe I do have whole numbers everywhere except the formula, and that was the default... I have also tried without apostrophes. The result is the same. :/

I have written about this before, but did not get any where. Thought I would try again. Today I re-downloaded and installed the script from scratch (after getting frustrating and setting it aside for a while last time). However, the same exact thing happens now as before. When I try to add a crime, this is what I am entering: (each field in order below...just as an example) Pickpocket an Old Lady 1 ((WILL*0.8)/2.5)+(LEVEL/4) 15 0 None Beginner Jobs Pickpocket (just temp text here since) Success! You stole every dollar the old lady had! Are you kidding me? You can't even steal from an old lady? I'm not sure if you have what it takes... You got caught, and are heading to jail! 1 Failed job. 1 ...but it always shows this error: "One or more of the inputs seems to of the wrong format, please go back and try again." What am I missing? I have tried entering different data for most of the fields, but with no success. Thank you. Hopefully someone can really help this time.

If anyone can look at what Dominion said in reference to the above values, that would be great. I can't seem to spot the problem. Thanks.

I am using 2.5 redux. Thank you. Hopefully can get this going... :)

The whole thing is just the default script. I am not even using a custom template yet...

Anyone? :/

I am trying to setup a job. However, no matter what I enter, it seems, I always get the message "One or more of the inputs seems to of the wrong format, please go back and try again." This is what I am using: Name: Rob a Street Punk Brave Cost: 1 Success % Formula: ((WILL*0.8)/2.5)+(LEVEL/4) (the default) Success Money: 15 Success Favors: 1 (I want it to be 0 here, but I even tried 1 since the text does say 1-9 chars only, even though I would think I should be able to use 0) Success Item: None (I have tried selecting an item just to see if that was it, but still no luck) Group: Beginner Jobs Initial Text: This is a test. Success Text: Success! Failure Text: You failed to complete this job! Jail Text: You've been caught, and are heading to jail! Jail Time: 5 Jail Reason: Failed job. Crime XP Given: 1 Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks much for the replies. I got past that by adding the types, item, and then setting is up. I had not yet spotted the type link. Cool. I can't believe the trouble I am having getting started, though. I have run into another issue. Hopefully this will be the last one. Maybe one of you knows the answer. I am trying to setup a job. However, no matter what I enter, it seems, I always get the message "One or more of the inputs seems to of the wrong format, please go back and try again."

Anyone? .

I got past the installation issues from my previous thread :), but I have hit one or two small snags going forward past that. The first may be related to the second, is my thinking. Here goes... In the staff panel / Basic Settings, I try to change settings there, such as turning off the ability to send money. However, the change does not save. Further down, there's a Will Potion Item drop down list that is blank. I am wondering if that is why it won't save the settings...because that field is blank? So, on the thought from the above, I went to the Items section, thinking I should add an item that would be used for the Will Potion, and then I could select it there. I Click Add, but the Item Type option here is also blank. Is that normal? I don't think it would be. Shouldn't that be where you set if it's a weapon/armor, consumable, or whatever? Thanks much again in advance.

Thanks much for the reply and comments. I notice also that the staff login does not work, even though I am definitely using the same password specified during installation. I am guessing that this must be related to the above. I am following up as you suggested.

I edited the config file manually, and that's ok now, at least. :)

Update: Actually, looks like there are indeed issues. When I navigate to the URL, I get this: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/mafiasty/public_html/class/class_db_mysql.php on line 48 FATAL ERROR: Could not connect to database on localhost (Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO))

I bought 2.5 today, and when installing, this is shown: Write Config... Warning: fopen(./Global/config.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/mafiasty/public_html/installer.php on line 431 Warning: fwrite() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/mafiasty/public_html/installer.php on line 443 Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/mafiasty/public_html/installer.php on line 444 Config written.

I know most "warnings", you can usually ignore, but I wanted to be sure I am not going to have problems since the access denied seemed troublesome. If so, what should I do to resolve? Thanks much in advance!
