The Bonded Game

Things I would like the newspaper module to include. 1. Multiple pages. (5 by preference). 2. Ability for players to add an advert on any page at a cost. (and to be able to delete their own advert). When players post it should show there name, id number and be a click-able link to their profile. 3. A limit of posts per player. 4. All items needed to add module. 5. Fully secured. 6. The text to auto scroll unless moused over which will result in a pause at that point. 7. BB Code enabled. 8. A place above and below display of adds for me to customize the text. 9. The ability to have the newspaper delete adverts after a certain number of days. (6&7 are optional but I would really like them.) Please mail me, or post here with a price.

Good luck getting any response from Raven. The code is stolen from McCodes. You need to purchase a McCodes license for your game.

I have a few problems with this. 1)What if your players gang goes to war after they have attacked all they can? 2)This would hamper leveling big time. 3)Attacking NPCs would take away your count. 4)Players offline should be considered NPCs as well but this would still reduce count. If someone wants to add though they should at least consider these points. Code seems simple enough and workable. A Question; if a player is attacked and he loses/wins does that affect the counter? I do not think so but I would want to double check it.

Ok, with the help of Aderick, and Corrupt City plus others on this thread I think we now have a fully functional mod. I am going to do my best here to Post it. It will Have three (3) Separate pieces. Spelling and text should be cleaned up for your game. If anyone finds anything that needs cleaning up (besides text/spelling) I will happily edit it on this post. Please just pm me with what needs changing. I did not write any of this code, nor did I secure it, nor do I claim any ownership of it. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO JUST SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE THIS IN TO YOUR GAME UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED CODER. I know the table code is wrong, and the header code is most likely wrong. But, if you know how to work with these and can make the adjustments go for it!! A)The Main monorail php code.   <?php //Debugged and code protected by Aderik// require_once(DIRNAME(__FILE__) .

This is very similar to the magic 8 ball mod.

Wow, that is all that came into my head. Just, WOW. Ok I have admitted plenty of times I know squat about coding. (still trying to learn.) I have even admitted I purchased a copy from raven. Heck it was $15 bucks or less. But once I found out it was pirated, did a carp ton of research to verify it, I purchased a legal license for McCodes. I am going to enlighten a few things for people that have been hinting at. If you use stolen code (or images) you can have your site shut down by outsiders. The legal owner can sue you for all the money you made PLUS damages. This means anything you made and you will go into the hole for (depending on venue) up to SEVEN times the profit in damages. It would be a crying shame to make a thousand dollars on your game that is just stolen script, then end up having McCodes sue you and take Eight Grand from you in court. (Not saying mccodes would but they COULD). I do not know if McCodes is still doing it but they were giving a discount off of the price of the McCodes engine based on how much you paid Raven, and you would legally be able to keep running the Raven script. I do not think this kid will be able to get it as he stated it was "given" to him. So basically he in legal speak is the "receiver of stolen goods". I sound harsh and I mean to. This is not playtime. When you put your name on the web, and are trying to accept money, then you are in the real world with real consequences. Yes, you can even go to prison for fraud if the case is sever enough. Before you accept your first pay pal "donation" you have better checked with your local legal offices to make sure you are not going to be in violation of any local ordinances. If your in the US, you better have a Tax ID Number for a business, (free from the IRS), and a business license from your local county. It would be a shame to spend hundreds or even thousands of man hours on your game only to end up in jail for tax evasion or theft or fraud. Now I am going to say something to OP specifically. Seriously dude? What the fish? You basically asked everyone on this website to think what would be good for your game, tell you about it, then give it to you for free, then tell you how to install it. This community is one of the nicest I have seen considering what they will help you with and what they will give you of their valuable time. But, you are really pushing the envelope there. I recommend you find the free modifications threads, look through them and find a very easy mod to start with and install it. Then work your way up to more advanced modules. If/when you get a legal game to run, as the owner you will either want to know how to do the very basics or be ready to pay a professional coder to work with you. Asking for help is one thing, asking them to do it all for you is quite another.

My Whack at ths. @ timpitts: Not bad. You got the ball rolling. Plus one. @ Tonka: Thank you for the table code. Plus one. @ Magictallguy: Thank you for securing it. Plus one. @ Bineye: Still using your hint of removing multiple quote sets from a single line. Now, for the mod itself, it is wonderful and I have added it. Now fully functional. I had to combine pieces from each of the postings. Below you will find my copy which is working for me and should be fully functional. Although it has one error I am still trying to track down. When you open the CB it does not auto fill in how many crystals the player has out into the deposit box. (it is either blank or the amount already in the bank). However the withdraw box will auto fill in how many are in the bank. Also when depositing crystals it does not update the actual total in CB when making a deposit, but does for withdraw. If anyone fixes let me know and I will update the post. Further this is not my mod nor do I take any credit for it.     <?php include (DIRNAME(__FILE__) .

Ok a lot of discussion has come down to this being able to install it. I stated that I could not get it to install. This was not a user error. This was a coding error. I bought the Raven script first. (yes i now know it was stolen.) I installed it on the first try with no problems and just a tad bit of help from Lillith. When I learned of the piracy issues, I bought my McCodes version. When I tried to install it would not work. That is what I am referring to. As I have had mine up and going for over a year now, I have learned a lot. I looked back over my original post. I stand by all of them. Yes I have figured out how to do all of them (except the templates, but soon enough on that one), but it has been a long process. Specifically to the comment of if you cant code you have no business owning a game. Pure rubbish. Stephen King has horrible grammar skills yet is a profitable writer. I doubt the CEO of Ford could tell you the specs of every engine that comes off the assembly line. This does not disqualify them. King has editors, and Ford has mechanics/ engineers to help them. I hire coders to help get the idea from my head to the screens of the players, they are my editor or mechanics. I am sure other people are the same way, they have an idea and want to try to get it out there. I will grant that most of them have no clue what they are doing, (including me). However, I already own one business. Most of the same principles apply. One good idea, mixed with one heck of a lot of work. Am I learning how to code as I go along? YES, I am. But trying to make it a little easier is not a bad idea.

I love this and plan on adding it, is there a way to make it city specific?

Sorry Bineye, Yours worked perfectly!! I appreciate your help!

Try copying that. Should work ok. Sorry yours did not work though. Thank you bineye!!! Plus one for you!!

if ($chance == 16) { $gained=rand(2,9)*$ir['level']; $db->query('UPDATE `userstats` SET `strength'=strength + $gained'); print "While , you come across an old tree. Using your might, you knock it down gaining <b>/$gained strength.</b>; "; } adjusted it now getting this error... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/thebo41/public_html/street.php on line 106 So I still have some sort of error in the code string.

Greetings, I am starting for the first time a thread. I am sure this is basic knowledge but I have, as yet, been unable to discover where it is hidden away. I would like to add a random amount of stats for my players as they do there steps in the streets mod. This would be chance 16 of quite a bit. if ($chance == 16) { $gained=rand(2,9)*$ir['level']; print "While , you come across an old tree. Using your might, you knock it down gaining <b>/$gained strength.</b>; $db->query('UPDATE `userstats` SET `strength'=strength + $gained'); "; } Ok, here is the out put from doing this step... While , you come across an old tree. Using your might, you knock it down gaining /300 strength.; ('UPDATE `userstats` SET `strength'=strength + 300');   Obviously it should not look like that. It is also not adding the strength to the player stats. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Although I would like to know what this particular piece of code is, I plan on adding this in to a lot of steps for different stats and hope that a simple generic code string would work. I appreciate your time.

Thank you very much. I am very new to coding (read: absolute beginner, and totally clueless.) The tip on the double quotes will be something I will now not forget. I am learning slowly but appreciate any help I can get.
