Re: My plan If you have $100 that should be more as enough to start with a small basic host, however a successful game will not run long on that, so you might need to be careful with that. Having a v2 doesn't mean much, a real game will need a lot of investments before it will work, just milking won't work. You're bound to go wrong if that's all what you think. What I do advise you is to install a localhost (wampserver, xampp, ...) on your computer, and work the mcc lite version. Install the game, edit it to your own needs, test it out yourself and when you feel happy, continue. Once you are at this point you can order a host, upload your game and focus more on getting members and working on the feedback as the actual game is already developed! Saves you troubles, and maybe time on later stages. In mean time you are not wasting money and getting used to the game source code.

Re: Help needed will pay $20 I cleaned this a bit, now keep it nice please.

Re: need help with v2 There is no need for a bump after 7minutes. the class directory in this case, is a folder which has two files only difference between those two is mysql & mysqli. Open your package again, find the folder "class" and upload that folder with files. You should be finder after that.

Re: need a new mysql.php first of all, don't post your connection details like that, you're giving naughty people to key to your door... it's not so good. secondly, another code won't work, it's something you have to figure out. The only thing I can say is, check your values and key! It most likely doesn't work because you took a random game, used the installer but didn't change that $mykey. I'm only guessing here though PS: please use the appropriate category to post, as this is mcc

Re: Hacking   Not really, I'm afraid you're missing the point a bit. Compare it with this: A museum (server) has a very valuable item inside, you just put two guards (anti hacker software you say). A lot of people go in and go out, and someone stole that item, yet the guards didn't notice anything suspicious at all. It would be the museums fault for not guarding that item and only the doors... now revert it back to a game situation. Even if a server is guarded, in the end it is your fault for leaving the possibility to misuse the game functions.

Re: Viewing codes hack Please get back on topic, and start a new thread about this if this is necessary. @OP: You can disabled right clicks, but there are ways around that. You can encrypt your code (server/client side) but that won't work. Seeing as your browser has to read pure html, css, javascript, ... or anything else in order to display a web page, it needs to be processed back to readable code somewhere. Since that code travels over the net and ends up on the persons computer at some point, it ALWAYS can be retrieved somewhere, even if this encrypted.

Re: I need help Please read asap   Might be true, that doesn't mean you should post his code everywhere you feel like. We would prefer that you link to his code/post, maybe a more general way of help can be provided by more people and the original author. So please respect the owner a bit, it doesn't hurt ... it makes life easier as well.

Re: [MCCODES V2] Updated Jail now lets users Offer rescue Price Quit the arguing already... there is one solution, I will compare both source codes. Illusions already send his. Alabamahit, please pm me with the code or contact details. I will then compare both and draw conclusions, if this is the same, thread will be closed forever, if not then I think both can stay... It's the easiest, most silent and probably most effective solution either :)

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons I know not many are getting sky high results, but that doesn't mean you can't do it good the first time, half work is no option ;) But as long you understand me, I'll be happy :D

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons   True, but I was actually refering more to killah, not to you, you have a timestamp per user whereas killah doesn't have it. He still is calling in the 1min cron manually, but just in a different way actually, that is what I'm pointing out.   Agreed partially, I know what you are trying to do, but I refer to my above :) And killah is this is what you really wanted to make in the first place, then I don't really get it why you have done that, so I won't argue over it, I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons users won't notice much since they do not get presented any php code on their plate, that's all for the servers. The only advantage that you will notice is when you have hardly anyone online, so you don't get any page load within the cron period. But that comes together with having a small user database and also having a cron that doesn't need to overrun 1000s of rows each min to update. I'm not saying it sucks or anything at all, just saying it's a different method as a cron, but doing the same thing in a different way. Arguing over this 0.000001 second that you have noticed, seems pointless to me. So if you want to add it in for performance... do it ONLY if you have a small userbase, else you will not notice a difference anymore and even loose time. Your test might show a win situation, but I don't think that was a test on a game with 10k rows and 50users logged in constantly?

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons that will not have much of an impact at all, I would more look to your queries, now you are just running your crons each page load (if they are valid by the if statement) for everyone, they will be ran on time, yet it does exactly the same thing as a cron, except here you load an extra file each pageload ;) but then again, you'll meet another problem (table locking), I might explain that later on.

Re: [any version] Removal of 1 minute crons Okay very nice of you that you have "recoded" the crons, however this is not something that will increase performance, it will actually decrease performance (slightly) the way it is now. So please be sure that you have a valid reason to add this. The idea is good, the workout isn't ... PS: I would only use this method if you do not have a crontab/cron manager, else stay with the old fashioned crons.

Since quite a few might be playing or testing this out, I decided to create this topic so we can all keep track of what bugs are still in there, and what not. Feel free to add a post with your bugs, or thing that you think that should not happen at all!   It's possible to use gold even if you are in negative already! or have no gold at all(only the inn) You can find an item after you have died   PS: If I find the time, I might keep this topic clean and up to date (adding the list/deleting posts) to have a clear overview.

Re: help she added code tags - as it was needed

Re: Need Help try to google a bit first ... it's your friend, not your enemy tiztag, phpfreaks, php.net itself,... there are 100's, all you have to do is open up google and enter "php tuturial", and you'll be able to search and find what you need while we can't provide you with what you want exactly ;)

Re: En Français je sais je sais, mais je ne l'aime pas du tout :P donez moi l'anglais tout les jours! (oh and don't blame me for french regular expressions as i don't know much of them (anymore))

Re: Dutch - Nederlands wheeee, nederlands is zoveel toffer :P

Re: En Français oh mon dieu. On a des gens qui parle français :o! j'espére que le nombre de gens et petit, je deteste je français >.>

Re: Changing background color. No I'm not, however I don't like that people are always complaining. Not that It will ever change, but anyways I try to do something about it. If people read and understand what is posted, they can and should expect that the code works and does what the topic starter says. If (s)he does not mention anything about something else, then it probably isn't there. He did not say anything about storing the current background for later purposes, then why would one expect it? If I read something that does not include storage, I don't expect it either ... Optimism is good though, but way to many people on here want to get spoiled with all kinds of stuff. Just look at this thread, it's like so many others, Matt says it's missing parts of the codes, but as far as I know tezza gave all code that is needed for this. Matt is expecting too much and didn't read what tezza's intentions were with posting this partial code. (No offense to matt or anything, it just happens to be a good example :p) It isn't hard, I think ... or is it?

Re: Changing background color. Well it all depends on what you want to do with it ... Tezza just said it changes the background, not that it would store the current background for a later re-vist. you should read what people say. It's not because they say it changes the background it would also store it and disable the button for that color...

Re: browser prob Various browsers have different ways from reading the html code, this can and probably will result in different layouts if you go to a site and take a look at it. You can't really change your browser, so you'll have to edit your code and make it cross browser valid. Once this is done, the layout in IE/FF/Op/NS should all be the same. This might take a bit of your time though and it will not be *that*, however it's possible ;) and once you know how to do it, it will only be easier.

Re: IRC services down Well it seems I have to reconsider what I have posted since it is currently not accepting any connections ...

Re: IRC services down In mean time, all irc services are back (since yesterday evening gmt) - Thank you chenzen :P even the services were down, the irc service could still be used.... it was just a bit different
