You cant just sit someone down and tell them how to do that. Its something that takes allot of time. Kind of like building a house...there are a bunch of different ways of doing it. And it doesn't happen over night...I recommend starting with tutorials

Hello everyone, I found myself making some time the next few days to do some custom templates. Some examples of my work are below so check them out. At the moment my prices are $20 u.s cheapest to $80 u.s most expensive, per a template. But right now im giving a special deal to people. The special deal costs $60 u.s and you get a login, register and ingame header template with that. I design the templates and code/integrate them with mc codes. All you have to do is replace the files I give you and upload the images they come with. I basically make the templates, give you a preview. Then I code/integrate them, you pay the money and then I send it to you. Payment gets done over paypal. Let me know if you want your custom templates preferably sooner than later, before I start getting busy again with my projects.

Preview of how new login looks so far is below... http://ishmell.deviantart.com/art/Gladiators-Arena-Login-140574260

Ah I see, the idea has been done by the looks of it. However, the way i was thinking, a game with any genre could be made. Im still not sure if ill do this but maybe if I see the interest is still around after i release Epilogue Engine LITE Version 1.0, then I may do it.

As lots of you may know I have my own engine in the works. If you dont know then you can read about it HERE . At the moment im updating the demo on the engines site. The updating is starting off with a new friendly design that im currently working on. I want to keep it clean and simple for anyone to understand and use. Please have a look at the link below to view the login interface design that im nearly done. http://ishmell.deviantart.com/art/Epilogue-Engine-Demo-Login-139858443 Feedback would be appreciated...

Yeh makes sense, ill give it a wack either tonight or something on the weekend.

I like the second one more. But I think that if you maybe had more than one render in it like one for each game genre all together would make it better. For example a mobster, paladin, dragon, racecar, pirate...etc together. But then again im not sure if that would all fit...

@ahmed Thanks... @Taxed Hey thats a good idea, I may have to steal the idea lol

Yeh that's true, for the first little while ill keep it how it is now with only a few adjustments and if I begin to see allot of visits/space being used by others then ill defiantly focus on reducing its size. I have a couple virtual private servers, one thats not doing anything so space is not an issue.

@mdshare Your absolutely right, ill be sure to make appropriate changes. Thanks for the heads up... @Peter Thanks, yeh im trying to go for a unique style for both the games design and game play.

Im currently working on a new look for BSM. So far I got the login page template near completed. Have a look at the fallowing link below and then let me know what you think... (Be sure to hover over the menu and Sign Up Today text to the right) http://www.blacksheep-mafia.com There is still some tweaking to do and one or two things to add...

Its not impossible but would be allot more work than I could imagine. First off it would require the engine to be open source and permission from its developers to use it for the project. And I dont really see a need for that when I have my own open source engine that I can make and do whatever I want with.

Yes, there would be Manager and Assistant Manager positions for each game. Also people that would play the games would sign up to the community then they can join a bunch of games with there 1 registration. They would have a My Games style page where all the games they joined would show up. Games would be able to be public or private. Public as in anyone can join and Private as in people apply to join then they would have to be approved by a game manager.

What do people think of having a community where pbbg games can be made? The community would allow people to sign up, sign in and create a game in the community. Basically to create a game you would enter the name of the game, description and category. Then it would setup the game for you in the community with a url like http://www.game.thecommunity.com/yourgamename (just an example) along with default content. Users would be able to change the navigation pages like hide, remove and indent. Also they would be able to add scripts, take away scripts, edit scripts and add/remove/edit things with sql. All that good stuff... I was thinking of using the epilogue engine 1.0 to make this possible. Just need to know what people think...

A little update on Gladiators Arena. There will be a new unique template for the site within the next few days. Im currently in the process of designing it. Along with this new template comes some new ideas that will bring some new features to Gladiators Arena. So in other words allot of good changes are on the way. Just a few things me and george need to debate about first. Ill be sure to let you guys know once the new look is up. Edit:// BTW I dont think this is in the right section of the forums...

That free template that I saw for login is being overused by other sites lately. Soon as I get home tonight ill have a look ingame and give you a full review.

Thanks, The Epilogue Engine LITE Version 1.0 is going to be released in a couple days if all goes well. Then the production of the Epilogue Engine builds are going to be under way. To learn more about the EE Builds just CLICK HERE .

Re: Game Template [$10] Looks nice, more than worth it... :wink:

Re: Epilogue Engine Yeh the Epilogue Engine is allot different than all the other engines out there.

Re: Epilogue Engine Im not exactly sure what a template engine is but ill look into it. I know the EE engine has a great template system. Its probably one of its ultimate features.

Re: Epilogue Engine Thanks POG1 thanks Joel. Yeh POG I sent you an email. I dont know if it went through or not. Yeh, we are now looking for a moderator or two for the community forums. You need to have forum experience as both a member and a mod/admin. If anyone here would be interested in that position then be sure to contact me at the email provided above or reply here or PM me. Ill also be sure to keep you guys updated here every now and then on the engines progress.

Re: Epilogue Engine Thank you, the community just opened up to the public today!!!

Hello, The past few weeks I have been working on my own PBBG engine. The engines name is Epilogue Engine which will be found at www.epilengine.com. The Epilogue Engine LITE is going to be a free open source text based game engine. We are nearing the completion of the LITE edition 1.0. The LITE edition 0.5 has already been released which supply's the basic structure of a game without any actual content. There is only some content left to develop with the LITE edition 1.0. Since im the main programmer, things are taking quite some time. Im looking for one or two other intermediate or above php programmers that would be willing to help out with the fallowing below.   P2P Message System Weapons Shop User Shops Top User Shops List   Since the engine is open source there is no actual pay. But you do get credit and may be asked to help out with the Epilogue Engine V1 & V2's development in the future. Which wont be open source and will pay a steady amount. Demo of the engine LITE edition can be viewed at http://www.demo.epilengine.com. Its not up to date but will be within the next day or two. Some things the engine will be known for... Security - up to date with the latest php hacking countermeasures. One Page Template - editing templates with EE is easier then ever before. You can change the entire games look including ingame, login, register, forgot password pages...etc with only one page. Easy Template Integration - making any html/css template work with EE takes less than a minute. Fully Supported - there will be video tutorials on getting started and using the engine to its fullest capability. Supported Templates - the EE website will support free & paid templates for its users to download and integrate with there games Supported Mods - the EE website will support free & paid modifications to allow users to download and change games to there liking. Community Hub - the EE website will provide a nice community with forums allowing people using the engine to interact with each other. Also allowing gfx artists/programmers to make and sell templates/mods or post them for free. Little MYSQL - the engine will have very little mysql related work for its users.   So if your interested in helping out with the php programming then either PM me or email me at [email protected]. Email is preferred but either works...

Re: [sHOWCASE] Avalon Looks good...

Re: SMALL security mod There is another simple, better way. Basically you take the userid of your staff and say in code if the userid does not equal yours and they are staff then it auto feds them. Keeps hackers from making themselves staff.   $userid = $ir['userid']; $userlevel = $ir['user_level']; if($userid != '1' || $userid != '10') { if($userlevel >= '2') { $db->query("UPDATE users SET user_level=1 WHERE userid=$userid"); $db->query("UPDATE users SET fedjail=1 WHERE userid=$userid"); print "<font color='red'>Well well mr hacker, you have been caught. Please stop trying to hack the site. We do not take kindly of people who have no lives so they decide to hack sites. SO LEAVE!!!</font>"; $h->endpage(); exit; } }   This can however be bypassed if the hacker changes there userid so you make another field to the users table. Name it whatever you want and put a special value in it by your user data along with your staffs user data. Then in code have it check if a users id is 1 or the other staff members id and if they dont have that special value in that new field you added then it auto deletes them.   $userid = $ir['userid']; $userlevel = $ir['user_level']; $field = $ir['YOUR NEW FIELD NAME HERE']; if($userid != '1' || $userid != '10') { if($field 1= 'YOUR ADDED FIELDS VALUE') { //put in here w/e you want it to do...delete them, fed them...w/e but you must not forget to make it so your userid is changed back to normal. } }   Normally, you would want to include all this is the header or mainmenu maybe.
