Definite Features (100% chance of addition before release)

* MCC 2.0x to latest version upgrader

Planned New Features (almost definite, 90%-95% chance of addition)

* Update fedjail, hospital, jail, forum & mail bans to use timestamps instead of counting down values (saves some cron time on larger games)

* Level upgrade system (choose between Auto-Leveling (current) and Upgrade link (TC style))

* Set the amount of energy, brave, HP etc you gain on a level

* Set a level cap which players can't pass

* Set whether to show the EXP bar, not show it, or let the player choose.

* Trades system - players can add stuff (money,crystals(if sendable), items) to trades, trade goes through once both players approve.

Possible New Features (could be added)

This list could be changed at any time

Pricing:

Not set at this time. MCCv1 and MCCv2 users will get a discount on upgrading. Base price will probably be similar to what MC2's price is at this time.

Release Info:

No date set. This version is not even guaranteed to be released, but most likely it will be eventually.

That feature means that the database of old MCCodes v1.1 will be upgraded into new MCCodes vEX allowing you to use new features on an old game without resetting or manually copying the data.

Nice.

Also dabs I already made this mod but w/e - It's custom staff levels with permissions.

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

The only thing is how would he 100% stop illegal copies. I'm just a noob but I think there is really no way... Encrypting the code would only make all the Vw/e games be identical... An uplink to his server so he would know how many games were running? That wouldn't work because I think most people have a testing server... Well I guess we will (or won't) find out =/

i really dont think its gonna be unable to not let any illegals be out there unless dabs makes an agreement like with other ppl in chat so if the buyer goes and gives it out free dabs could recall the thing and the buyer must delete OR pay a fee but thats up to dabs

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

Well even that. How would he know who gave it out. If someone were to steal/take a illegal copy do you really think they would be honest enough to tell where they got them? Also what is to stop them from using them? If they have a cheap host then the hoster won't even bother to try. The same thing goes for the legal buyer. If he is giving out or selling copies then do you really think he would stop just because somebody told him to? God knows I wouldn't (just to clarify I don't resell codes I'm just giving an example).

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

You can use the zend products, Encrypt one file that is important, for example the globals.php file (make sure its different than the previous obviously) Whilst encrypting this you add a license key check in there. He could also encrypt random other files which arnt needed to be edited. You may say 'But how do we edit the script it will be the same now!' Simple you don't NEED to edit the globals.php files, you can create a new one with your own functions in and include that in the relevant pages.

To sum up, he can just give license keys to those that brought it, no license key or an invalid on then it wouldn't work, he could also restrict that key to be used on one host, he would also know who was trying to use a key that wasn't theirs, for example trying to share keys. He could suspend licenses as well.

 

Encrypting the code would only make all the Vw/e games be identical... An uplink to his server so he would know how many games were running? That wouldn't work because I think most people have a testing server...

You can get local keys to use I'm not sure how they work exactly but you can run it locally on a testing server. You also don't have to have an uplink top his server, you can have a license key file that has your key in it.

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

I just looked through the site. It looks like it would work but chances are a hacker would be able to find a way around it. Also the fact that the program is $700. That would cut down on profits and chances are if someone really wanted to sell the code illegally it wouldn't take too long for a good coder to make a new globals.php.

Also, I don't know if this was stated before but is this protected from MySql injections? I've already run into a major problem with mysql injections on my game.

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

Hack3rmatt is bang on spot. MCcodes will be investing money into something similar license guard software to stop all piracy. We are trying our best to resolve MCcodes piracy not only on Source Codes, but also on game mods (thats why we have put a hold on producing great mods/features due to piracy)

Another main reason why there will be a new version is because of exploits and holes in 2.0. We are trying our best to eliminate all the exploits and patch up the scripts where its venerable to SQL Injections (cannot guarantee it will be 100% full proof from SQL injections though) However as we discover more exploits or sql injections in the next version, MCcodes will release patches for your source codes where you can run automated patch scripts to stop any exploits/sql injections.

MCcodes are planning to release a Customers Area in mccodes.com where our customers will be able to download such patches for your game and communicate via customer forums. Customers will also benefit in many ways, such as being able to download various customer freebies (such as features/mods) and engine upgrades(for latency free game-play).

That program was just an example... But I think your missing the point. Sometime you have to invest in something to gain more. In this case, if you invest in a program more people will be happy to BUY the codes because they know they cant get them elsewhere for free, thus making more MONEY. You will also be giving a better service making your customers happier: Happy customers = more money...

There are more reasons.

There arnt any known ways to hack around Zend guard, the encrypted scripts that can be hacked around are encrypted badly.

As for making a new globals.php... A good coder wouldn't do it, they would have the self respect to buy the codes, now the people who just want to make a few quid don't have a few quid to spend on codes and would try to recreate it, but wouldn't be able to because they cant code...

You can also encrypt more than one file to make it harder, its entirely up to the coder to pick what files to encrypt and how strong he wants the protection to be.

Yay.. Nothing can be fully SQL injection proof/hackable. In my opinion the game owner should know how to prevent a certain amount of SQL injections/Javascript etc and therefore would be capable of checking or fixing when someone finds a exploit. However your idea on releasing patches is a good one :)

Re: Proposed Features for DBS/MCcodes Next Ver.

Does this basically mean that you are changing the table structure of the mccode database a bit, and throwing in some mods that you found around the net? (possibly recoded by yourself)

And then of corse adding your "Piracy Protection"

Make it worth the money. Anyone can get this stuff for free. Its too late for piracy protection unless you have something worth protecting. Right now all i see is a new db structure, and less efficient crons, and mods that are already available to me or take 10-30 minutes to code myself and add to a v1 game.

Arson, Just get lost.

Its not just that.

 

Make it worth the money. Anyone can get this stuff for free. Its too late for piracy protection unless you have something worth protecting. Right now all i see is a new db structure, and less efficient crons, and mods that are already available to me or take 10-30 minutes to code myself and add to a v1 game.

If you used your non exsistant brain you would realise that if it wasnt worth the money then there wouldnt be such a community created from it, which includes YOU. People have brought these so called overprice scripts and its still going. Maybe it wasnt worth the money for you because your such an asshole?

 

Its too late for piracy protection unless you have something worth protecting.

Nothing is too late to start protecting, for example inivision do not do there free forum anymore, as for MCcodes being worth protecting. Well it is, its helped alot of poeple make money such as yourself.

 

Right now all i see is a new db structure, and less efficient crons, and mods that are already available to me or take 10-30 minutes to code myself and add to a v1 game.

A new database structure could be good, from what ive seen the current database is not normalised and is designed very badly, not many people who buy scripts like this know how to do all that. Less efficient crons? Depends on the requests per minute. I think coded crons would be alot easier for those that dont know much coding, like half of the comminuity. Crons are also simple, and i would expect there would be crons to run as crons available aswell.

Last thing...

I could say I could make all those mods in 5 minutes, so what. What does that say apart from making it sound like you have you head up your ass?

The code is aimed at people who cant code, and dont have the ability to code a new engine or mods, or want to learn, if you can code so well why would you buy it when you can code your own for free which meets your specifications and needs, the only reason is because your lazy/dont have time?

Whatever Arson, stop trying to pick pointless fights, your wrong, your a twat, now go like you said.
