jon182 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 What is this mod? __________________ In this modification you go to a page and insert your phone number, your carrier (drop list), and you check which boxes you want to be textd for. you can be texted when you have in game mails. When you've been attacked, when you have a new event, when theres an announcement, when your brave bar is full, or when your energy bar is full. What is required? ___________________ Webhost that supports emails. 5 minute cron (not a new one the one that comes with mccodes). Wont users be texted every 5 minutes if their energy or brave is full? _______________________________ No, they will not be texted more than once for their energy or brave bar until they login again. Is this secure? _________________ Yes. The user only ever types in 1 thing and that is their phone number.Then the file makes sure that it's numeric and that it contains 10 digits no more no less. Wont this cost me 10 cents per messsage? ____________________________________________ No for you it's no different than sending an email. For the player its a normal text message. How many messages can i send per day? _________________________________________ that is all dependent on your hosting company. What phone companies does this work for? _______________________________________ Alltel AT&T (formerly Cingular) Boost Mobile Nextel (now part of Sprint Nextel) Sprint PCS (now Sprint Nextel) T-Mobile Verizon Virgin Mobile USA it will work for those companies. More can easily be added if needed though through very minimal sql knowledge What is included? __________________________ 1 php file. 2 sql tables 2 columns added to the users table. 1 five minute cron edit 2 global_func edits edits to the attack pages, mailbox.php staff.php and 1 line added to globals.php What will this cost me? ___________________________ The current Price is $10 To test out a demo or to buy PM me.

Jordan Palmer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Look like a interesting modification but hasn't a free version already been made :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon182 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 i didn't bother to check, dang its gonna suck if there is. Ok i went through and checked, the only one i found seemed to be way different than what i built. That one was also insecure. Min you merely have to enter your # carrier and what you want to be texted for. Theres also no text limit. But because of this Discount price $10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wouldn't this be hard on your server if you have a large user base? Especially if users want to be notified for multiple things. My understanding of how this works is that your server sends an email but it arrives to the recipient as a text message. So your server could potentially send out thousands and thousands of emails daily if you have a large user base. Which is not good in any way for your server.

iR00T Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 @Diesel you beat me to it. and yeah if you had a large database I see someone's server failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Also this service wont work in the UK because most of the networks dont seem to allow services like this, Not trying to put down your modifaction just informing members. The problem about the server getting overloaded is why not just send 50 text's every 30 minutes to make sure the server isn't getting swamped with emails, Offcourse then it wont be instant but they'd be getting it quite soon. If your site is big enough to have a large userbase though surely you would be able to afford a seperate mail server? Anyways, Good mod jon. I can see alot of potential with this!

jon182 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ya if you have a huge user database you could just send it form a seperate email. or have each action sent from its own email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
