Oh oh! I decided to go with NWE and...

[DungeonMaster]

I've been trying to find a good game engine to start designing a game. After reading and searching for days I decided to go with NWE.

After downloading and installing the free version the install was flawless, BUT...

After opening the game I get:

 

Error: Trying to get property of non-object
Error in "/libs/common.php"
Line 1178
Error in libs/common.php
Line 1152
Error in
Line

 

A bug?

[KyleMassacre]

Hmm. Is it the free version?

[DungeonMaster]

Please see what I said:

[Aventro]

Please provide us with relevant code

[DungeonMaster]

Around 1178:

 

$fullError = "";

if ($db->conn->error != null && $db->conn->error != "")

{

$fullError .= "Query error: " . $db->conn->error . "<br>";

$fullError .= "<div style='border: solid 2px red; padding: 3px;'>{$db->lastQuery}</div><br>";

}

and 1152

 

handle_error($error['message'], $error['file'], $error['line'], array());

Please see what I said:

Ohh yeah, sorry thats my bad. I had a little brain fart buddy. I think there is an issue with the free on and I forgot what I did exactly but I had the same thing but I got mine working so when I get a chance ill look it up and see what I.did

[DungeonMaster]

One of the reasons I chose to go with this engine was the emphasis on security, I hope I didn't choose wrong, seems like a bad way to start.

[KyleMassacre]

As far as I can see security is good and this is bad timing since alain is on holiday lol so hopefull he comes back real soon

[DungeonMaster]

He is the only one that services the code?

[KyleMassacre]

The core? Pretty much. I know the paid versions dont do that but it needs to be fixed. I think what I did was comment the lines out that was kicking those errors and it worked after that

[DungeonMaster]

Must be a conspiracy to get you to buy the paid ones lol

I thought about comment out the lines, but that seemed to be too easy, if something is wrong from the beginning I rather know what it is.

@Guest - do I take it that you don't like his code?

[DungeonMaster]

What about his code don't you like?

So what game engine will you prefer for turn based play even if it may not be to your total liking?

[Aventro]

I am predicting his going to say ezRPG, but heck who knows.

I just installed the free version, and have no errors showing. Are you sure the install went correctly?

[DungeonMaster]

I was looking at that but it seemed to have a start-stop trend and only now making a come back again. All the demo links are down, at least the ones in Google code. How is security with it and is it easily customizable?

Yes, as I said, install was flawless - no errors shown.

Yes, that's because the main developer suddenly just disappeared. The Google Code isn't what we use anymore, it's the Github, but as our current developers don't have access to change the page information, it can sometimes be misintepreted.

Aventro - I checked the links but its bare, I need something with more to it. I saw screen shots of a legacy version and thought it might be something like that.

Guest - you didn't answer my earlier question.

That's what you have modules for.

[KyleMassacre]

What way did you install it since I believe there are 3 different ways:

1. depack.php
   
2. ftp upload through nw-engine.com
   
3. upload entire source
   

Maybe there is an issue with one or more methods

[DungeonMaster]

Aventro - oh where are the modules?

Kyle - upload to my server and install.

This has to do with the register_shutdown_function and some of the PHP versions. I'm not 100% sure about which version clash with this yet. Anyhow, the quickest solution for you is simply comment out the line 64 of the index.php file which should be the "register_shutdown_function("engine_stop");", and hopefully I will soon have the time to fix the free version. Next will be hard for me too however I hope to do it soon enough. Let me know if that doesn't fix the issue.

[KyleMassacre]

I get the error on 5.3.21 so hopefully that helps narrow it down for ya alain

P.S: glad to see ya swing by

[a_bertrand]

Ok thanks for the report Kyle, anyhow I will try as said, to fix the free version as quickly as possible.

[DungeonMaster]

Thank you.

That did the trick and the error is gone so it functions, however while you were gone I got looking at EZRPG especially because the modules could be attached for free, I believe for yours I would have to get at least the $20 version and then pay again for each module I wanted to add on?.

I also tried updating via the prompt that said I did not have the latest version and got a whole bunch of error messages.

So I have to decide between the two.
