Welcome
Hello this is Convictlife and i have made an RPG game and for you noobs out there i will be explaining Here is a breif structure of this post: 1. Getting your codes. 2. Getting your host. 3. Uploading your codes. 4. Configuring your codes. 5. MySQL 6. phpMyAdmin 7. CronJobs 8. Editing 9. Finalizing Getting Your Codes! First of all you need codes that will power your website. If you are a master coder (like Dabomstew) then you can code these codes yourself, but if you are "so-so" then you will need to get codes from somewhere. I got my codes from Mccodes. This is a great website that allows you to buy quality codes at a cheap price or get a reduced but free version of MC-CODES.V.1.0.1 Or you can get the good code base ($75) or the great code base ($300) Getting Your Host You need a good host that allows the following
Uploading Your Codes THIS IS A VITAL STEP! If you have cPanel X or Vistapanel you can upload files by going to File Maganger or Legacy File Manager (Only cPanel X) and clicking on Upload. Upload all your files that you recieved in your code folder except for files like index.php, index.html, index.txt, install.txt and copying.txt Make sure all you files are being uploaded to you public_html (web root) Configuring your codes After you have uploaded all your codes then you need to tweak them a bit. First we will start with your game logo, upload a logo with the following dimensions 129x692 and call it logo.png (save it as a PGN format) Then go to a file called header.php and over here you can change the design of you game (note: you will have to do login.php and register.php seperatly as header.php dosn't affect these) When you are in header.php go to a section that displays: <style> body { font-family:helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:12;color: red; scrollbar-base-color: #005B70; scrollbar-arrow-color: #F3960B; scrollbar-DarkShadow-Color: #000000; } a:visited,a:active,a:hover,a:link { color: red;text-decoration: none; } table,tr,td { font-family:helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;font-size: 12; } img { border:none; } textarea { font-family:helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:12;color: black; } </style> Here you can change the test-size and color just rename the part in bold (NOTE DONT TAKE OUT ANY OF THE ;) Then you go to the section that displays: print "<body bgcolor='#000000'> Just rename the part in bold in HEX color codes Then go to the part: <title>Your Game Name</title> Put you game name into the bold space. MySQL MySQL is a easy storage service that your site needs! In cPanel X you can find MySQL under Databases. After you do that create a Database called db (NOTE NORMALLY YOUR SERVER NAME WILL BE PUT IN FRONT SO IT WILL LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS: yourservername_db) Then create a MySQL user called user and assosiate user with the database with ALL PRIVALGES Then open the file called mysql.php and open that file Then go to the part that says: <?php $c = mysql_connect('localhost', 'yourdatabsename[.b]', '[b]youdatabaseuserspassword'); mysql_select_db('yourdatabasename', $c); $mykey=256573440; ?> Edit the parts in bold. After you did that your MySQL will be ready phpMyAdmin phpMyAdmin can be found in cPanel X uder databases Click on phpMyAdmin and you will be redirected to the offical phpMyAdmin homepage. Click on your databases name and then on Import You should have recived a file called dbdata.sql or othername.sql please select that a click IMPORT After that your storage facility is complete! CronJobs On your webserver create a folder called crons then upload all your cron files e.g cron_5mins or cron_day etc... Then your crons are complete Editing In this stage you edit all that you nned to using you webservers 'EDIT' button! Finalizing This is the final stage, in this stage you can advertise your site in various sites the best of which is TOPRPGAMES THANK YOU FOR READING AND PLEASE REPLY AND RATE! Any Problems PM Me!

This is somewhat off topic from the online text based rpg but if you wanted to create a simple offline text based rpg you could do the following.
1. Get a copy of visual basic or some other simple programming language. 2. learn the basics of that language. 3. Code a simple program that allows you to make decisions which base how the game plays through out. I made a simple rpg with in the first 5 days of learning visual basic so it wont take very long at all and your friends will think your the coolest. P.S. Convict Life is very right all of that will work and im sure his instructions are well enough to give you details about how to make one in visual basic |

Do NOT download MCCODEs, Its nothing but bugs and the main developers of it are kids that enjoy placing back doors in the code.

You definitely DON'T want to download McCodes if your a beginner, like the guy above said, it's full of bugs and the code is poorly writing. So by thinking that this will make you a better programmer, you'll be wrong. It will f*ck you up. Seriously.
There are better Text-based rpg scripts out there for free, just keep looking. |
