I am new to this whole thing and I am playing catch up as best as I can. Here are some of the issues I have dealt with on version two. It would not do a clean install when I tried. Kept getting errors. My Coder was able to fix it and I am still not sure why it would not do it. Also, I have encountered a few errors just working from the admin panel. Some of the built in mods are not properly done. Yes, that is what coders are for but I do not expect to buy a new car and then have to take it to the mechanic to finish what should have been done on the assembly line. Admin panel is very awkward. Full scrolling to find a single item is tedious at best, especially for repeat functions such as adding thousands of items.
Wish list items that would be nice.
1. Bank editable from admin panel, to include interest earned, opening fee, max balance, and deposit/withdrawal fees.
(This is to help a new person get started)
2. More features to be edited on player from admin panel, to include the changing of profile picture.
(Not all admin will be coders, some changes may need quick access such as the picture to remove porn or other game sites, an admin should be able to do this instead of relying on the coder to do it.)
3. Shops to be more easily controlled from the admin panel, to include deleting items from the shop.
(Just seems like a no brainer even still. To have to go into the database for a simple mistake.)
4. More flexibility in sending items to users. Such as, send X amount to everyone, or to staff only.
5. More flexibility with the npc/battle bots. Such as being able to equip items to them from the staff panel. Also the ability to place them in certain areas.
(currently all you can do is create the NPC. Then its all database editing.)
Items from the list.
7. Customizable template system. I really like this and would love it to be editable from the admin panel as well.
(This will help with the graphically challenged, which is not quite the same as being a bad coder)
8. Better admin panel. My comment is to set it up more like the explore page. Then it would at least be more centered in the page and slightly easier to navigate.
12. Multiple IPs. OK, one solution is to at least add a block that can be removed on edit player function that prevents multiple IPs. Also, add a search feature for multiple IPs. Right now you have to know the IP, then search for it. This is tedious and time consuming.
I realize most of the people here are coders and are working, and thinking that way. Although I am attempting to learn it myself it takes time. McCodes is advertised as basically a plug it in and play coding system. For the most part this is true. However, for those of us that know nothing it is not so easy. Please try to bear that in mind with my suggestions as an end user.
I have edited my post as the original was posted about four months ago. I have learned how to do some of these things but I added thoughts to flesh it out with ( ) around the new information.
