Oh, with some 200 + threads over a year I figured somebody would have something started. Perhaps I have underestimated a few things with starting one of these. ***Runs off to do more research***

Thanks for the replies, it's good that the engine is well supported. Please note most of my questions for now are not urgent, so don't rush for answers I am still testing/playing around. reload is in the NPC tables, I think I've guessed that this might be a time until that NPC is available for battle again? As for step by step I guess I'm looking for something that will tell me exactly what each entry does/means. eg in NPC there are tables for normal cost, special cost, and drops formula which I don't really understand what they mean. I also don't really understand what you meant when you said "Here you want info about the existing stats of your game" I don't have a game, I'm reading through the wiki and trying to work out what all the settings are, what they do, how to set them etc. I guess I'm more used to the mc.... script which to me I found easier to understand. I don't want to use that script due to the enormous security vulnerabilities that I have heard about and everything I have found online in terms of reviews it seems this is the best engine out there currently. Do either of you have a site setup running this script that I could join and get the feel of which might help me understand better? Maybe NWE is too much due to my limited experience (my fault nothing against the script) but I would still like to try. I'll play a few games using your script, get the demo/free version running and work out what I can before I come back looking for answers that I could possibly work out myself.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I'm a bit busy today but will try everything out and see what happens.

Perhaps I'm asking a bit much but After searching online for how-to's regarding mmorpg, and NWE, I'm yet to find shall we say a step by step guide for noobs? I've read most of the wiki but there's no real explanation (that I could find) as to what exactly things like dexterity, reload, or drops formula means or does? Has anyone created something like a step by step tut or am I really asking too much? I've downloaded the free version to try it out and guess I will work it out in the end but a tutorial would be helpful.

So after several years of dreaming of starting a game I've decided it's time. I'm starting to evaluate scripts and am onto NWE. After checking out the full version demo I've decided it's reasonably nice but I want an install I can muddle with and go back to the next day and know my settings will still be there. So, next step install free version to continue testing. I've tried a) downloaded zip package, extracted, uploaded, entered installer password, then next screen entered DB info then got error. b) deleted all files and uploaded self installer which never even showed me options just went to my error page. I'm fairly inept at scripting but not totally incompetent. I have installed numerous scripts and can edit some php/html coding although I am a little rusty. Also when running the zip installer it did say that my server does have the required 'bits' to work, I'm on hostgator shared hosting which I am seriously considering dumping because I'm sick of asking them to turn stuff on that I think should be enabled by default. So, here's my error Warning: mysqli::query() [mysqli.query]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in /home2/myusername/public_html/mydomain.com/nwe/libs/db.php on line 538 Warning: Resultset::Exec() [resultset.exec]: Property access is not allowed yet in /home2/myusername/public_html/mydomain.com/nwe/libs/db.php on line 542 Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_row() on a non-object in /home2/myusername/public_html/mydomain.com/nwe/libs/db.php on line 556 nwe is the folder I am installing it to as it is just for testing and I'm using the domain for another site. I did create a new DB and user etc but as I said using the depack it didn't even ask for this info..
