None of these methods actually show 4% i did a test of this script and 100 + 4% is >> 104 yet when i ran your queries SomeRandomBastard i ended up with this value >> 756824 as the total
on your flash coding when inserting a url dont forget to add either
target="_parent" this should stop it opening in a nwe page if the url has target="_blank" change that to _parent
Even though i dont run a game ive found myself doing some strange things to keep a game ( if i owned one ) up to speed and running smoothly
SPREADSHEETS:
I use spreadsheets when ever possible to keep my knowledge of a game at an advantage. so how does a Spreadsheet help ?
well if i was to Categorise my Spreadsheet usage and show how it works maybe it could help others with their game plan....
1 = create a spreadsheet for weapons and items listing their cost and usage also add how many people use certain weapons items this will help you understand which items/wepaons are not being used and ones that er beig used more than others and will give you a better response on which items/weapons need asjusting for game play..
2 = Create a speadsheet for your users which displays how many days they spend on your game which page they visit more than others and more than anything if the player is able to help another player with a forum question. you may find this daunting but doing so will give you a better idea of new potential staff too employ.
3 = create a spreadsheet for every area in your game this will enable you to understand which pages are being used more than others and how long a user stays on any particular page.
4 = create a spreadsheet for all mods youve applied to your game and where possible allow the script to inform you of user activity. If a mod in a game isnt being used as much as another then maybe that mod is in need of an update and where pages are being used more than others this doesnt mean that page is doing well but maybe a money spinner for players...
I notice on the gomining.php if un-successful it deducts 4 brave. you really need to think about how youve done this statement as your users could find themselves going into minus values always make sure they have enough to deduct or tell the statement to only deduct 4 if 4 is available
Why does the poor user table get so many fields why not create a new table called mining
and have it grab userid from users table instead of cluttering up the users table
I'd want to know more about the host than the hosting they provide. bare in mind you have access to everyones site and the ability to upload and keep data from that person
$sql = sprintf("UPDATE users SET money=money-1000, energy=energy+75, grub=grub+1 WHERE userid=%s AND energy < max_energy", $userid);
by the way i didnt make this mod...
heres a few images to the new mailbox upgrade which i think you will find quite pleasing
