  1. Never seen, so could be me.
  2. Sorry, normal price is 100$ new, why should someone be so desperate to sell it for 30$-40$ ? Usual price are around 60-80$ for second hand license here.
  3. It's not question of attracting but converting the "click on the banner" to an actual registration. You may very well make a home page without any info, just some nice art, and people will register just to check what it is, but then right away leave the game. My 5$ a registration is somebody which click on the banner, register an account, and stay for a little while (like reach level 3 on NEaB). Otherwise for me it's not a useful visit, as they saw nothing. Good for you if you got 3k signup a day with only 50$ a week of ad, even if I have really really and hard time to believe it, would be an amazing success.
  4. Done, I managed to make it work with the current version of the Ajax lib, added some simple paging, sort and filters are in, as well as the option to choose which column to display (as demonstrated by the combat module which I upgraded to include it). The browsing of the data (filter, sort and paging) is done via ajax. Comments, feedback and further requests are welcome ;)
  5. ad campaign: count around 5$ per registration, that shall give you an idea how much it cost you ;)
  6. And here is a small preview: [ATTACH]850[/ATTACH] Sort, and filter per column work, as well as added the option in the config.xml to define which column to display. I will look into the paging and then it should be ready. Only drawback is that I had to change the AJAX lib, was missing the Secure inside the Ajax output, and therefore any link produced via AJAX wasn't valid. So now we will have the choice to make a 1.1.6 release for that, or just wait till next release. Will be up to you guys.
  7. The version 1.1.5 of the free and dev is available to download. It contains the upgraded versions of the modules as well as the latest versions of the base libraries.
  8. Ok fixed for the next release. Sorry about it.
  9. Check this article of mine, it should give some hints about how to drive traffic to your site: http://engine.nowhere-else.org/article_3.html
  10. Well then, feel free to implement it. I'm personally not interested in it, nor think it's a good practice, therefore I will not invest time on finding how that would work with paypal.
  11. Exactly why as player I would not do it, and many would think the same.
  12. Well honestly I find 6$ a month for a shared hosting expensive. Not only I don't know the quality of the hosting and the service you can provide, but it's not all that far from a VPS which then I could do whatever I want with it. Therefore I don't find this offer all that great.

    Windows 8

    Only a few days left before Microsoft removes their cheap prices for the Win 8 upgrade, and I must admit that forced my decision to upgrade to Windows 8. At around 40$ for a digital upgrade instead of the 120$ (or around) after Feb 1st, I thought it was smarter to bite the bullet now and let's hope I could survive to windows 8. Now, after the upgrade process which took me nearly 2 hours, I must admit the upgrade went as smooth as possible, I found all what I had (from document, setting and softs) back where they was, with 2 missing pieces: - The start menu, - DVD playbacks The start menu cost me another 5$ and I purchased Start 8 from stardock, Sorry MS but personally I do use the start menu, and I can't live with your stupid "start screen" and live tiles. I don't care at all about them, don't want them, and I want instead to use my PC as I want it. So trash away all that metro stupidity, and welcome back to productivity. The DVD playback you may wonder why, well, my little daughter loves to watch cartoons on the PC, so I must have one... end of the story. I checked VLC and I must admit it's not working as it should, aspect ratio is all broken, and just for that, I don't like it. Sure I could set the aspect ration every time I play a DVD, but why should I do it? Why this soft is not even able to set a setting? Stupid. So welcome MS, media center is free till end of month, so another download and at least I can finally play DVDs... Now what does win 8 bring to me? Honestly I don't see any advantages, maybe a little faster boot? faster hibernate? Beside that none. I actually don't like the look and feel of the windows, and find stupid that the things like the start menu went away. The only better thing I saw and used is the task manager, but upgrade your os for the task manager? Sorry non-sense to me. If any of you upgraded, please share your experience, if you are thinking of doing so, do it quickly, as you can upgrade from XP, Vista or 7 before the end of the month for a cheaper price, after it's another story.
  14. How do you plan to create a recurring billing ? I mean you want to use the paypal recurring billing? Well I must admit I never did it and honestly I don't think it's a good idea. Much better to have some sort of premium membership where you have to pay each month or so to keep it, and this membership offers some advantages.
  15. Nice update, I still have some bugs viewing images but beside that it's a great tool.
  16. ?? A setup charge of what? Sorry I don't understand what you want.
  17. No there is no variable for the current script run.
  18. Well, I do support it, yet stopped the development on it. Odd you didn't managed to run it.
  19. Well show the same hints is not possible, however I can try to improve the rows / scripts of the stack. I will check.
  20. Well script and line should be handled for you by NWE, I think. No? Can you make a screenshot of the result?
  21. 3rd option: change script and use something else...
  22. Nice, we will then get more messages from you ;) BTW from my own experience: if you wait till all is perfect you may end up never releasing anything. My usual way to do is try to come up quickly with something of a nice quality but maybe not finished, and then improve over time. It as also the advantage that your players / users may see the progress going on and actually love the game more for that and keep coming to see yet more updates. If I would have waited till NWE was perfect you would not even have seen it till now ;) For NEaB (my own web game) I released it after 3-4 months and then went forward adding & improving features for about 5 years!
  23. well the pretty message hook could provide a "where" parameter and tell you where it's used, and then you decide to act or not.
  24. Well good luck with your new job! And I hope you don't disappear! Otherwise how can we improve the engine without you :p ?
  25. Ok will change than in the engine. Shall be in, in the next release.
