BlackNova Gaming Network

Sounds like it's a good idea then, I guess, to recode the whole game. Use all the goodies of the new PHP eh? :) Well I am "hoping" to use all the good stuff. Its been a while since I have even touched PHP, so I am hoping that some of the +15 years I have worked on BNT has stuck LOL. I wil...

Fair enough.. I guess it would also be best to investigate what other popular, similar, but newer games are using that do have a lot of players. You probably already have a rough idea :) Any idea if you will start a new BNT round here at blacknova.net soon? See with browser based games you have loa...

My brother and I managed to get the virtual hosts back up to find that the version of phpBB I have running here doesn't support PHP 7.x, so I thought I would downloaded the very latest core version of phpBB, you would think it would be compatible with PHP 7.x wouldn't you, but noooooo it also doesn...

Looking forward to see some progress. Make it open-source on github so others can contribute! I don't know PHP but I can help with CSS/...

The Wayback/Internet Archive shows at least a couple of times in 2014 where it was relatively low (~30 players): https://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/...

Well I was able to send myself a PM. Try clicking on the members link at the top, then click on my name, then click on "Send private message" that works for me. As for the amount of players that we had in the last game I run (2014-09-11) had 161 ships, now some of those may of been invalid...

I don't think they setup Crontab to call the scheduler.

A lot of people that set the game up fails to read the install text file and wonder why things don't work.

Well there is newer code on sourceforge.net which is located here . I did at one point think about GitHub, so I "might" start to use them. We did try to start the recode but due to me becoming ill which also led to disagreements here and there which sadly resulted in the halting in the dev...
