Re: Where to get DBS code?!? Do you want to pay for the code or get the free, lite version?

I was just wondering if anyone here did this. And if so, what good domains do you have? I own around 2 sites, and about 7 blank domains(which i plan to sell or do something with at a later date). PM me if you want the list of domains. What ones do you have?

I received a message on Torn City from a player named Jezz [172564].   First thing I want to settle, Astra if you think I have stolen your code, please contact me. I really don't know what this player is referring to. As you actually buy code from me. The only thing I could think is that he saw something on my game that you purchased from me, and thought I stole it? If otherwise, please contact me. I assure you I have stolen nothing and would like to clear the air. Secondly, I don't know who this player is. I have checked my fedjail mail, and my regular e-mail account. And there are no messages with a case like this. No miscredited DP, no player saying anything of this sort. And this person has not told me who they are. If anyone has any idea please let me know. I do not scam anyone. As I do not have an auto-creditor yet, sometimes donations slip through the cracks. The player then mails me in-game asking(sometimes with a little force, but it's understandable), I ask for the transfer ID and their paypal account e-mail. I check, if it's there I credit it immediately and even give a little something bonus for taking so long to process it. So I'm really not sure about this one. I would look into the case of their fedjailing but I have no idea who this player is. I replied to them, telling them I needed to know who they were and why it said they were fedjailed. And explained that I could have overlooked the transaction since I have no auto-creditor. I received this reply: Alright, now I have a multi? On what game? I don't paly any games actively anymore, not even Torn City, I just check in every now and then. I don't know why I would need a multi? I didn't know there was an online gaming commission, but if there is, I don't want to be slandered. And on other large games too, I really don't know why they would do this, so I'm kind of lost on what to do now. And I cannot refund them, I don't know who they are or what their transaction is.   I am kind of at a loss for what is going on. I want to resolve it, but I'm kind of in a spot where I can't do that anyway I turn. I also don't want my name to be slandered all over the net, and not even know why. If any of you knwo this person, or even know what the story is behind all of this, please contact me. And Astra, please contact me too, I'm not sure what is up with the supposedly stolen scripts. But I would liek that resolved too, thanks. ~Cronus

Re: NEAB engine FREE edition   Well, it's not a walk in the park lol. Takes a very long time with lots of work to even out economies/fix bugs/set game restrictions all while making it fun to play. Not exactly easy.

Re: Proxy Deny Script[free] Okay now that it all works, someone needs to put together a solid post that has all the thing syou need in it, with detailed instructions. Lots of things are scattered in this topic. lol

Re: Tracking Advertising On sign=up, just create a new field where users choose where they heard about the game. Make it a drop down box so they have to choose something.

Re: 1h work to solve the dumbest error there is This: $res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM village");   Should be this:   $res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM village",$c);   That's my guess.

Re: Switching Hoster This person posted about this 4 months ago.... I'm going to assume he found one by now.

Re: What is the most liked type/style of game? I say if you get a good crime based game, with a lot of additions to keep users doing "crimes" at all times. You can keep anyone happy. Who doesn't like breaking the law every once and a while?

Re: Joinable Organised Crimes Maybe that was me and sfekt :? lol my bad

Re: Shafted by LunarPages   So, my site is now shut down. They move it to a new server, but alas, I still can not access cPanel or ftp to get any of my data or files out. I'm blocked off and my support mails are not being responded to anymore.... Don't use lunarpages if your hosting a game. Or a site with decent amounts of active users.

Re: Joinable Organised Crimes I see you altered ours a bit. I would buy it, but personally, I already customized ours, and I like it. :-D

Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. bank.php, crystalbank.php....any page. A user waits til theres a little lag on the game, then gets two computers, does an action(any action) on both computers at the same time, and since the database is lagging, it takes a second or two to do, and it doesnt update the query right when its clicked, and when the server finally goes to get the queries, it executes them both at the same time. So, if you deposit everything thats in your hand twice, then the database reads both those queries at the same time, which means it shows on both queries you still have that amount in hand, thus depositing the money twice. This can be done with anything. I talked to a coder of a different game and he said there is a way to limit the database to take 1 query at a time. It won't slow down the game, as queries take milliseconds to run.

Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. It's not two browsers, it is two computers. Hitiing the same button at the same time, can create multiple queries running at the same time, thus not giving it time to update the database, so it doesnt know your actually out of money, and letting you deposit it all twice. I would also like a fix for this if anyone knows how.

Re: Shafted by LunarPages I know these sites are run by lunarpages, and it is amazing how nothing has gone wrong, but then again, there arent really any crons except maybe on the voting site. Crons are what messed me up and we dont have 100+ users online here on MD's sites almost anytime. So theres no overusage of resources, plus MD may hav a larger plan than we do

Re: Shafter by LunarPages They tried top shut off my crons, multiple times. I sent many angry mails to them many times. And now they have reactivated them, and they leave me in peace now. :) Just gotta get stern with them. You paid for the service, they better provide it.

Re: Some Code Confusion???????   Use this: Here are the lines from my lucky boxes mod: 31 - $number=rand(1,5); 32 - $db->query("UPDATE users SET boxes_opened=boxes_opened+1, money=money- 33 - 1000 WHERE userid=$userid"); You had a space in your random number draw there between the , and the 5. That was your problem.

Re: Tables... Only returning one entry? you need while($r=mysql_fetch_array($othermysqlquery)) { Information you want printed on each user } after your query

Re: *-* HELP ME *-* An e-mail validation registration page will fix this also, and it cuts back on the multis. Just to put that out there :-D

Re: About game players Ya, mine isn't either, I use a different e-mail for my paypal. Problem Solved! :-D

Re: Random Error - Not Sure What Is Wrong No, it was the stats. I don't know what happened to them tho :oops:

Re: Random Error - Not Sure What Is Wrong The query works, I know it does, it has worked for 2 months now and I have not ever touched it before, plus no one else has access to my files at all so no one could have changed it. ~Cronus

Re: Random Error - Not Sure What Is Wrong This is the 2nd time it has happened to me also, I have already deleted all events. And it's not all playersm, It's just my account, other players are still going along as normal and I'm not exactly sure what's up, I was in the process of starting a new mod and then my account goes crazy lol. ~Cronus

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND evREAD=0' at line 1 This appears in my main menu where the events should show up. It ust happened randomly and I don't knwo what is wrong. The page stops at this error. The header file still runs and it pulls all my information(name, money, level, etc.) just like it is supposed to EXCEPT it can't find the userid. I'm not sure why this is, it can read all my other information but not the id? If anyone knows what's wrong please help. Thanks ~Cronus

Re: Lite vs Version 2 Personally, I would take neither route and I would just buy v1.1. The v1.1 is well rounded and easier to code for(in my opinion). Version 2 has some flashy things in it but I really don't think it's worth the $300(once again, my opinion). For one, most users on here use upgraded Lite or v1.1 so it would be a lot easier to get code/mods for. The 2.0 has some things that are nice but I would stick with the 1.1 to keep things easier for yourself and to save maybe a little bit of cash. All my opinion tho, do as you please. ~Cronus
