changing houses.... number four on the -help me dear lord- wish list

[mr_shuu]

My wish list:

1. Figure out how to have different location pictures show up through index based on what location the person is in. [ still ignorant on that] - perhaps index is not the place and I should do it through explore?

2. As you level up new locations appear. How do I change explore to show different locations where some shops exist only in one location.

3. Change transport so that instead of accepting money to travel a player needs to pay with an item. So if in location 2 they have an option to go to location 3 & 4 perhaps they have to go to 4 to get an item... backtrack and use item to enter 3.

4. After gaining entry to different locations then certain houses become available only after a person has entered that location.

Again I have to thank you guys for the help.

I read different posts and followed the instructions and now the houses have images. Thank You!

thats a big step for me... little by little its starting to sink in a little.

$shops = ''; // Blank output...
$getShops = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `shops` WHERE `shopLOCATION` = '{$ir['location']}' ORDER BY `shopID` ASC", $c);
while ($gShops = mysql_fetch_object($getShops))
{



// Build the output



$shops = '[url="shops.php?shop=' . $gShops->shopID . '"]' . $gShops->shopNAME . '[/url]
';
}
// Finally, output the output
echo $shops;

 

Shouldn't $shops inside the while be $shops .= ??

Re: changing houses.... number four on the -help me dear lord- wish list

I'm trying to learn and its stopped me dead in my tracks.

My explore page is shot... all I am trying to do is place a picture on the page... a map

under the map links to seven different explore pages so that each one can have a picture of that town. And I'm stuck...

I know between juggling a job, a dad with drug addiction and Alzheimer's while running his errands off a twelve speed bike... staying up until 2:30 AM to make sure he doesn't fall again... up at 6:00 am to start my miserable days over again I should find the time to read up and catch up to you guys... and I'm trying to... however...thank you for the cheat sheets and the answers you pass my way...

I thank you for helping me get the image placeholder set up on explore... now I'm trying to get the if level one print/echo these links to appear... since I'm not able to pull that off I'm thinking set up a series of explore pages and that way its simple and each can have its own city pic....

I want to set up monorail to require items instead of money... each city needs an item...like a passport... I'm reading up on the mods...I bought a few mods a year ago and I am adding them... its coming along... thanks guys!

Re: changing houses....

Thank you.

I was not trying to gain sympathy. I'm just being honest.

I'm trying to figure things out... I get ideas and I'd like to have a game...

sometimes the guys will say: figure it out for yourself! -as if its as easy for everyone as it is for them. But variables play a factor-

they all most suggest an intentional laziness... mentioning "do the work"... I think in some way we're all doing work... on different levels... Sometimes I'll ask for an answer because it solves a problem but moreso because the solution is a key to figuring out another issue... as I get one answer I can try to decipher another problem or plan... so there's mental lifting taking place...

for instance... I'm thinking about looking at the staff item... using it in place of staff house so houses have all those options... but first I'll have to figure out how to get pics to the items which I know is explained here...

so to have someone suggest people who dont get it are lazy bums or slugs is an undeserved slight... especially considering a lot of us are sleep deprived.. I was basically trying to ask them to cut us slack because we are trying to learn.
