Re: Banned Accounts...

Folks pulling these stunts need to realize that TMD has kept a BNT game running almost continuously for over a *DECADE*. Other servers have come and gone. Other admins have taken abuse and left. TMD has stood resolute and provided this game and this site for longer than anyone else. Please, be respe...

Max presets increased

I've just committed code increasing the max presets to five.

It also splits presets out into its own table separate from the ships table.

You wouldn't believe how long this "simple" change took.. /me smh

Language support

We have decided that for the next release, and possibly some future releases, we will be changing our approach to languages. Today, any time we find a line of hard coded text, we try to move it into the languages/{language}.ini.php file. Then, for each line (we find dozens or hundreds at a time), we...

Latest SVN has a similar problem (doesn't save changes). I'll try to find a fix when I get done with my current task.

Re: ranking.php

Great catch.

It is fixed in the latest SVN. Unfortunately, it looks like fixing it for the last release would be a little challenging to do on the fly (without interactive testing).

Gives you something to look forward to in the next release! :)

Re: suggestion for faq.php

how about coding faqs pages to automatically insert values into faqs from config, instead of hard coding those figures? that way, when game admin updates the config file the faqs are automatically updated (like settings.php) We do plan on this. A big effort to get there required us to convert the F...

Re: suggestions for gameplay

1.. how about a system of tasks for players based on their rank? it would gradually ease newbies into the game, and take them through all the requirements for successful building and trading etc.. completion of a task would bring rewards or choice of reward. One of the forks of BNT (Starkick Trader...

Re: user roles?

such as admin or developer. for example, settings.php infers that no game admins or developers are in my game. Ah. That setting hasn't really been completed. TMD partially added it, and we never really completed it. I think it is possible to edit settings.php and (maybe?) ranking, but I don't know ...

Does it happen with any combination of changes, and/or no changes? If not, what combination of changes does trigger it?
