Nah looks good, i like the big difference in style in alternate posts, is this going to be like a rpg game based on the forum or the forum just being on the same site as it?

Re: RTS - RPG in BETA running on PunBB engine (mod)

Well im just using the forum as the basics so for user registration and stuff like that smile i add tables to the database and create the game around that.

so the forum is part of the game actually i add things to the forum and i use the forum source for the game big_smile

the best way to explain it is i used the engine of the forum smile

btw the style editing is not done yet wink it should difrent more from the standard layout. it will come wink all in time.

Your biggest problem is going to be updating forum version as security errors are discovered and fixed.

Ah np wink ill just check what was edited. and most of the gamefiles are not in the forum part.

they just use the functions the board uses. so if the function gets altered the game files "mostly" do not have to change.

Re: RTS - RPG in BETA running on PunBB engine (mod)

but only after 1.2 and i don't know it might be reasonably easy to change (you can see the dev version in accouncements)

vin99: I, or you yourself, can make diffs to see what's new in 1.2, but they're going to be huge. Most of the code has changed in some way.

Re: RTS - RPG in BETA running on PunBB engine (mod)

ow ok big_smile

well i always check the code with compare in ultraedit. And i only changed some parts of the forum code. like header and templates and such.

For the game i created all new files only including the header and functions so i dont need to write that.

if the functions change a lot. i can alter my code no problem smile
