Glasses Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I dont even have a clue how to install mods on it lol Can you help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I gave up on REDUX three days after I bought it. I guess if you were a wizard at php you wouldn't have any problems but if you are not (like me) you just look at REDUX like a disease and remove the growth. I couldn't even add a custom template to it because I couldn't figure it out. I wish the makers left it like it was....easy to work with like v2.03.

Glasses Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I managed to figure out how to use the template system but have no idea about mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny696 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think you need to add the pages into a folder, and then add the mod on a stupid array. Seems paul didnt do a good job then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Well Im sure Paul did a good job securing it but one of the key elements of MCCODES is ease of use. This is most likely the main reason it is so popular. Everyone says its popular because of all the mods created for it, well thats because its was easy to manuever through and understand. Look at GRPG, not too bad of a script but not nearly as many modifications simply because that engine takes more time to understand so people give up on it. Even though I have not personnally bought the "Redux" edition I believe Paul may have made that version a bit too technical for all us noobs out here..... Change is good but so is backwards compatibility.... Can you take a Mccode V2 Mod and easily add it to Redux ?....if not then this is one area I would work on....

Lee Mason Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yeah the fact you have to manually add the module into an array is just newby. So many ways where that isn't necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uridium Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Come to think of it I havent seen much of Paul since the launch of Redux, As an Engine goes its bloody brilliant but i have to say its quite annoying to add things to it which is its only downfall in my opinion.

Guest LostOne Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 As I do not have a copy of redux, after owning V1 and V2 license and not wishing to ever use them again, I can not give a fair evaluation or comment. I will stick to my own scripts from now on - and where my scripts do not do what I wish it to do, I will make a new one. The problem with using mc code, is every game is too close to being the same as another. The functionality will always be the same, maybe changed slightly, so you are competing in a flooded market. Just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3Theory || Peter Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I never used redux myself, however I would have to agree with LostOne 100%. I feel like when using a McCodes and no matter if you do a theme change or change a couple pages/ides up, the game will always have the same feel of the rest of the game. The best is to learn by creating your own, as then you will be able to fully decided, without having to do many major reworks, on how you want to run your game. Most people know my stance anyways on McCodes, I found the company to be very unprofessional and not care about their customers. I don't see them active at all (no matter how busy you are, you need to keep a reputation up as a company and visit the site atleast every night and make posts).

Paul Evans Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 anyone who attempted it visited http://makewebgames.io/showthread.php/39502-Tutorial-v2-0-3-v2-5-convertion?highlight=redux+convert ? Peter i personally answer any redux support issues, if im not available it falls onto Ian, Stew or Kunal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdBlooded Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Yes - I agree that Redux Modular system is the greatest out there. But it was a step towards offering something better than what there was already in the market. Many Redux users have found it useful in some way or the other. However, there are flaws with the Mod adding system. An improvement will be made in the latter version. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 You mean really that redux is the best modular system or you actually meant that it is NOT the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickson Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm assuming he meant isn't the greatest, as otherwise his answer would not be very coherent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Evans Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 It isn't the easiest to install mods but it's actually quite simple to do follow the instructions which come with the modules... difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
