  1. I tried that and basically it is... un-usable. Sorry but google translate is hardly understandable.
  2. bineye: if you read what I wrote: "you cannot insert something into multiple tables at the same time". Of course you can have multiple queries, but that wasn't the question. For your suggestion about the page id, that's basically what every one tried to explain...
  3. So basically it will change the engine language, but none of the content. Which means it's easier to translate to a new language but that's about it. Well I believe it's a good idea and actually it would make sense to have it included in the main engine code ;) (CB / Dabs ?)
  4. The old PHP 6 project died... and was instead renamed PHP 5.3, which introduced a lot of breaking changes but not that much of new features in my opinion. Yet why did they want to get with PHP 6? Easy: support for more than simple characters, so for example support for Chinese or other character sets than the US plain and boring. This means that all the GET / POST / COOKIES, Database, and file handling should be able to support those character set. Even the code comments should handle those, which means in principle a huge change in the engine behind PHP and that was the goal of PHP 6. Now, as it wasn't so successful and was taking ages, they decided to deliver a first intermediate version as PHP 5.3 and re-think about what to do with this support of complex strings. One way would be instead of rewriting would be to add a new set of class which support those strings. The same approach has been taken by many before and leaded to a huge mess (where you could use 3-10 different classes to handle strings and no easy way to go from one to the other), but so far they didn't took any decision. You may check the whole here: http://schlueters.de/blog/archives/128-Future-of-PHP-6.html Now remains to discuss how important those string handling are for you. If you code only in English and only for English people, you will gain nothing from those UTF or whatever. If you use accents or other special characters it may be of some use for you, however honestly for me it seems a lot of buzz for little content. I really hope they will come with more than simply handling special characters. Please feel free to share your thoughts!
  5. There is multiple problem about such plugins. Beside having the interface translated which is a first task, you will need to translate all the string you may have within the database like crims, or others. Finally, you may even have issues about chat or forums if the language is mixed. Honestly it's normally easier and better to have complete separated sites (which share maybe a same common code) for the different languages. Such that players in a given "server" or "world" know that they can speak with each others in a given language.
  6. Well... what shall i say... I don't like it. 1) Color of text and background are not enough different and makes it harder to read. Plus fonts way too small for my own taste. 2) Registration, well not too bad, beside if you don't click on "accept the term" it does nothing nor say any warning. 3) If you check the password and username, why not show all the errors in one shot? 4) Once registered (with difficulties) why not enter directly the game? 5) Why not have a CLEAR cancel or Home button in the register page? 6) Why not add some description of the game on the home page... I don't want to create an account to know what it is. 7) Once inside the game... no info, nothing, I'm as lost as possible. Sorry I don't play those kind of games, so I have no clues what to do. Therefore people like me would leave immediately. 8) I don't see any story... 9) I pressed the "FAQ" button on the menu... and it logged me out... nice. 10) I pressed an action... logged me out... so nothing seems to work Username: demo123 Password: 123456
  7. Any example of work you did?
  8. Wrong section, ask for a partner in: http://makewebgames.io/forumdisplay.php/379-Partnerships and check the rules: http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/39182-Rules-to-request-a-partnership
  9. I will suggest it once more... and the last time. If you don't want comments, don't ask for them and yet even avoid to post a link to your sites. I shall not even answer further and will lock this thread before it turns as yet another trashcan.
  10. tezz: first of all, if you ask for comments then you shall be happy people spend some time to give you some. For example, DJkanna was pointing that having a login page all in image without text is not a bright idea, why? Simply because google and other search engine will not index that text and therefore you may loose some potential players. Moreover, the more image the longer the page load and the more likely the people will go away. For the advertisement, I do have some myself, however I do know that players don't really like to loose screen real-estate for that. So don't abuse it and don't plan to gain money from it ;) Finally, a beta is a software which should be feature completed but maybe not yet fully debugged. An alpha version is a software which doesn't contain yet all the features, so next time call it alpha.
  11. So basically you are selling a free domain with free mods? Then ask yourself why would someone want to buy it...
  12. If the code is under the GNU then you are certainly allowed to resell them as packages: as an example of this you can check all the linux distributions which are nothing else as a compilation of a lot of GNU software plus some custom one. Now for this site, it is certainly possible to resell the site as whole as long as it doesn't contain illegal software, however I doubt it makes much sense to buy just a package of free software.
  13. biz domain values are pretty low. So I doubt it has any great resell value here... again as anything, the value of something is the exact price of what a buyer is willing to pay for it. For example, a painting can worth a lot of money... only if somebody is liking it enough to pay for that.
  14. Honestly, as I already said somewhere else, domains are not all that much important. People will not look for something just by it's name beside for example if you you know the company name and then you look for it by adding a .com beside this single case, most of the time people will use a search engine to find your site or some link from other sites. So if you are the kind of people which think that a domain is worth millions, then sorry I'm from another opinion.
  15. bmw11: it's time for you to learn at least a bit of PHP and try to solve those isses by yourself. Honestly they are not that difficult and if you fail at those you will hardly manage to code anything useful for your game... so back to your own training!
  16. Don't use those <<EOF... it makes the code unreadable and basically that's your issue. For this specific error: Line 77 contains double quotes within a double quoted string without any escape character... Must be written: print " [*]<a href=\"http://cyberbank.php\" target=\"_blank\">Cyber Bank</a>";
  17. There is a few things to take into account: - Reduce the number of queries => so it's better to query a bit more columns (even useless most of the time) instead of doing multiple queries. - Getting more columns can have a huge impact if your DB server is not running on the same machine as the HTTP server (and therefore your queries will go over the net) if it's on the same, you will see little to no difference. - Also what counts is to have very quick queries (like selecting data from their key) instead of doing slow queries. You can easily have pages which 100 queries and are yet very fast where you could on the other side have 1 query which kills your server if badly designed. So no there is no simply answer and your code / sql / tables must be checked and optimized regarding your own personal needs. However from what I saw on those forums very few of you really know how powerful SQL is nor are really able to optimize their database design / queries. If you need some help then we need to have full details and... it may require quiet some work to really optimize such issues for you.
  18. MdShare was doing a lot of advertisement (payed and non) which has all been stopped since he sold the first time. I will not do it myself as I'm not the owner of the site nor I do gain anything from the forums. If CB and Dabs want to do it they should know how to do it as there is all the info on the site ;)
  19. well we could close all old threads but so far I don't see the need for it.
  20. The authors should learn how to use CORRECTLY the tabs... And Danny, stop being negative for each and every posts, beside no code is bug free and I'm sure your own codes contain bugs too, please stop annoying others by being such a pain on each thread.
  21. I'm basically not doing it most of the time. For wsirc I did a special page for mobile browser for any other application I didn't and will not do it. For my coming game mobile application is not even something which will be imagined due to the fact the game uses Silverlight and require quiet some screen real estate and cpu power.
  22. I use something similar in my NEaB game where items (weapon armors and others) do wear off when used. Now the stats don't change till... you reach 0% which means they are broken. The main goal of it was to have some requirement to craft new items.
  23. Danny we got your point, now if you are better are writing tutorials then produce some instead of complaining about the one someone else did.

    VPS Help

    When managing a system yourself, you will find quickly that what counts is the possibility to run the same thing for years without worrying for end of life products (which means no more updates), and for something solid and reliable. For those reasons I would pick personally Cent-OS or SUSE enterprise (not the desktop version). Debian if you know it then stick with it otherwise not.

    Domain

    I doubt many will ever type an URL. So either they bookmark it or use again the same link or use simply the browser completion to find it back. So any domain will more or less do the trick.
