Redux attention bits

[Dominion]

7 = Attack when no weapons equipped cant attack yet theres mention of hands ?

=> not a bug - but request for addon

If it’s not a bug than it’s a mistake. Why mention “hands” if you can’t use them?

11 = Missing forum images from images folder pin/lock/delete images and a default avatar

=> not a bug - but request for addon

If it’s linked inside the engine, but not in the download this is not an addon. Remove them from the engine or add images to do such a thing.

12 = Cannot Create a/an new Item with zero sell price

=> not a bug - but request for addon

It’s a bug in a sense. Not a major one, but many games have items you can only sell for nothing e.g. collectables.

When sending an Email if incorrect then page graphics arnt displayed only on a white screen....

=> not a bug - but request for addon

The gang has this issue in places, and yes it’s a bug. Why would an error in game cancel out the template? Answer: it shouldn’t.

Reporting a player....a player can be reported but the admin gets no notification and there is no link anywhere to see reports

=> not a bug - but request for addon

No link is a bug, but the no notification is not necessarily a bug.

17 = Create a gang from Explore page if insufficient funds to create gang white page is shown no graphics...

=> fixed

Mainly quoted to show the “white screen” issue is classed as a bug even by you most of the time.

once you have writen on notepad , if you want to delete it all you have to put a space at the begining

=> not a bug - but request for addon

I don’t see why the notepad can’t be empty... but not a major issue I guess.

Okay, I guess all of these requests for addon is really a nice way of saying "POORLY CODED and SEMI-FUNCTIONAL" because anyone who doesn't want to deal with their player base pointing out stuff will have to fix these addon requests themselves.

Not really. Some of them (e.g. number 3) are not bugs at all...

@mike, you are creating misunderstanding or have been misunderstood. It is not intended to be "POORLY CODED and SEMI-FUNCTIONAL" whatsoever. Evidently we have fixed and patched out several issues, and will continue to.

Nice post Dom, I will review it and apply appropriate fixes to the software engine shortly.

err mike, be careful of what you want it to be though... MCC is something between a pre-made game and a game engine. However, a bug is something that doesn't work like it should. Some things do work, but just not like how you want them to work. And in that case, it's not a bug, but a request for something else.

for instance #14, it's just a request to get a new function into the engine. Is it a bug? No, is it an issue for players? Most likely ... but they don't need to be blamed for such things.

 

PS: I'm not saying the list of CB above is correct in anyway, I'm just replying to the general thinking of some people.

[mike]

Well, maybe so but at least you are now actively posting here on the forum and we are not sitting here wondering if anything is being fixed.

[ColdBlooded]

We will always actively help fix all issues. Just recently Dabs and I have been very busy. Anyhow, I am currently fixing/expanding on the Redux engine in order to please the engine users.

ok guys come on most of this stuff was never included in any other engine by MC there is going to be bugs and kinks but you can't say stuff like for example

Reporting a player....a player can be reported but the admin gets no notification and there is no link anywhere to see reports

how is that a bug that's never give a notification although is a good idea and im assuming a member of the forums could easily make this as a free addon which actually helps the community.

 

once you have writen on notepad , if you want to delete it all you have to put a space at the begining

I personally tested that but it never made much sense to me.

If you guys list actual typos, bugs, exploits etc we could sort them out alot quicker but adding in new things which you'd like to see is a bit far to ask for, obviously we would like to make this as user friendly as possible but we can't keep adding things just because you add them into a list of bugs and hope for them to be added on.

I'm sure if you posted a addon request rather than bug post they would be dealt with by a nice member of the community.

I think the issue with the Report a Player is that:

1. It doesn't work, at least didn't when I tried it on V2.3 and Redux

2. It is a link in the default engine so it's not an addon or a mod. If it is not suppose to be a feature of the default engine it should not have a link coded into it.

The issue with notepad is that by default it is blank but if a player types anything into it they can no longer leave it blank. They have to leave at least a . or something in it. Minor issue, yes but it does get reported as a bug by players so it should be fixed. I had a couple people testing my mccodes engine when I first thought I would use it and they reported it several times as an issue.

Ahhh right fair enough then. Ive heard enough. Redux made by developers who refuse to listen to the community. However they will take from the community but not give back unless you pay for it of course.

I wasnt going to use redux as an engine anyway. After seeing the code I most certainly would not. It has been coded in a restrictive manner and suggestions to remove these restrictions and make the base product easier for people to use are met with "thats an addon do it yourself" attitude. Bearing in mind that these suggestions are from those of us with experience with MC2 then obviously this is an issue for the engine.

The code itself is pretty similiar to the other versions other than the security which whilst making the engine secure has been done with a "just in case" manner rather than altering and improving the actual engine code.

And thats it from me. I find it quite disappointing, im fed up with the lack of support for the community from McCodes and have noted how quickly the posts from the developers came flooding in as soon as refund was being discussed.

Ill move on to supporting other engines instead.

I have to agree with Rulerofzu its a very complex task to add mods to Redux even i'm having to work it out..

Turn error reporting on, and go to a file such as forums.php. Notice: Undefined index: seems to be one that is still around in the engine. You also say about the notepad always needing something written in it not making sense to you? It's mainly down to how you're checking it -

 
$_POST['pn_update'] = ( isset($_POST['pn_update']) )?strip_tags($db->escape($_POST['pn_update'])):'';
    if ( !empty($_POST['pn_update'])

If the user wants the notepad empty then it assumes that the security check has failed. Relatively easy for you to fix (if what you meant by “not getting it” was that you did not understand the error anyway... Is a strange one, but hardly a big bug.).

I will send you a list of known issues to me in the next few days (as I have already said somewhere today/yesterday), and if your interested I will add some general tips on making it more user friendly e.g. Why not use a “DENY FROM ALL” .htaccess document rather than having an index.html? Also the mods array could be made to self generate so it's easier for users to add mods to the engine, although if people are interested I could always add something like this as a free mod.

If that was aimed at me I agree with you... What I said was no link to check new reports was a bug.

[Paul Evans]

to be honest i think MC has a great community because of small things like that which bring people together to fix and improve on things.

Any questions, I will be very happy restoration. Ultimate MCC teach MCCodes a lot about the BETA test. We will improve the appointment in the next few Beta testing Beta testing of the V3 and community engine. The appointment of Beta testing, will be the engine of self, they will be able to launch and test the right.
