Ok, so I currently got a website were the users are allowed to view each others profiles (Feelays system).But im making a new feature where the members gets credits for various things they do.But I want to make a script that the members can use to transfer credits between each others.Only problem is, I have no clue how to do it?Could be something like this:Welcome -USERNAME-.Transfer credits to [------] /form box/[send] /button/

I played both MapleStory and Runescape some years ago. I think Runescape is more fun than MapleStory, but MS has better grapichs. And now with the new design and "rules / traderules" at RuneScape, non of them are good . RuneScape was much fun some years ago. But now.. Nah, I don't play it and I don't like it any more. Sadly, because it used to be my favorite game.

DC++ is one of the most famous filesharing network in the world.It uses the network "direct connect", were the users can connect directly to eachother. In contrast with Kazaa, were you only can search for files, DC++ offers you to browse all the files a user shares, just like you are browsing your own harddrive.
This gives you new opportunities, like; you can find something you want, even doh you dont know what to search for.

The network is divided into hubs, with a chatwindow and userlist.
The userlist indicates how much every person shares, often with a descr i ption about what kind a files the person shares.
Small hubs gives better control, and there are admins and V.I.P members that are hunting down false files or viruses on all users. Because of this, there are only a small amount of files that contains false information or viruses.

Here is a guide that might help you to get started, both for new and advanced computer users.

The first thing you need, it the DC++ client;
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dcplusplus/
0.668

After you have installed this, you have to do this;
Open DC++ -> File -> Settings.
The most important this to do before using the program, is that all the settings are correct.
Follow this guide, and there should be no problems to start filesharing!

General;

*Write your name/nick in "Nick"
Choose "Connection Type"
*This is very important, choose "Connection Settings".


To get full advantage of this program, you should be an active user. A passic user cant download files from other passive users, and this wil affect the filesearch.
For those who dont know how to open ports in the router, can stay as a passive user.

Active-User settings;
Connect to your router, and open a port, forexample 29.
*Make sure that firewalls gives DC++ full permission to do what it want.
*Click the "active user" box.
*Write your IP adress
*On TCP and UDP-port, write 29 (or whatever port you opned).

Downloads:
*Make 2 (two) folders on your computer. The one is a temp. folder for the files you download, and the other folder is for finished downloades
*Change their names to.. forexample "Download" and "Finished".
*Push the "browse" button, and find the folders so DC++ knowes were to put the files.

Hublist:
*Push the "Configure Public Hub List" button.
*Paste in the "http://thehublist.com/files/hublist.xml.bz2;, and push Add.


Sharing:

The easiest way, is to have a dedicated-media folder on your computer, were you put mp3s, videos, games etc. But you can also make virtual folders in DC.
Anyway, the important thing is that you have a folder structure so other users can easely browse your files.

*You can share soundfiles (mp3, wma etc), videofiles, images, installationfiles, and zip/rar files. If you share a folder, wich contains installed programfiles, you are in a high-risk zone of beeing kicked!
*Every file most be indexed before it can be shared, so you might not see the total number over how you share before this process is over. The process is running in the background.
*Set "uploades" to the same amount of hubs that you want to connect to. Every hub requires a "slot/t". It might be smart to just be connected to one hub and have one slot/t open. If you got alot of slots open, that might do that the uploadingspeed kills the downloadingspeed (at a norwegian adsl /broadband-company).

Advanced;
Its recommended that you do a few changes here;

*Remove the "Automaticly Follow Redirects" box-mark. This wil result in less confusing, and you might get in to the hub you want. Sometimes, a hub can be full, and then you wil have to try to connect alot of times. If "redirected" is on then, you wil be redirected to some other hub.

*Check the box-mark for "Automaticly search for alternative download locations". This is smart, because if a user that you download a file from, goes offline, DC++ wil automaticly find a new user to download the same file from!

*Remove the "Show progress bars" box-mark. This function is a bar that showes the progress of a file beeing downloaded, and it uses alot of CPU.


Now, you should be ready to start the filesharing :

*Push the button for "Hub List" and choose a hub. The hubs can be sorted into names, users, countries etc.
*If you are looking for non-rear files, its a advantage for you to visit a hub with alot of users! But if you are looking for rear and unique music, forexample for Germany, you might want to connect to a German music hub !
*When you are connected to a hub, you can start searching for whatever you want!
*One search goes trough all the users on the(those) hubs you are connected too.
*Its important to notice that you might get kicked or banned if you search too often, so always wait about 10 secound between every search!

Good luck!

(You might find this article other places, but with a different user posting, for example DJRACK or Anarkien. This is because I'm a member of lots of forums, and I some times post my guides there).

I know that this forum is called "Online Multiplayer RPG Games", and that most people do not associate the GTA games with RPG games.

Though, in the last year iv been playing the modification of San Andreas, called San Andreas Multiplayer.

 

What is it?:

As long as you got San Andreas (standalone, not via Steam or anything like that), you can download and play SA-MP. There's a lot of GMs (game modes), such as RPG, deathmatch, Cops And Robbers etc.

The RPG GMs is the most fun. You pretend you are a person living a life in the San Andreas (Los Santos, Las Venturas or San Fierro). You can often choose between being an cop/fbi, lawyer, boxer, car jacker, gun dealer, leader of a family / mafia ++.

I can see that none has posted here for a month, but I want to say my meaning here;I was playing the Norwegian version of Habbo only two months after the release. It was a great, small community with people, and we had lots of fun. Though, the game became more popular, and new players started to come. It destroyed the whole community. Many of the great, old and active users stopped playing because it wasn't fun. Now it was all about having most furniture, coins and gangs/friends. The game destroyed itself.

Does any of these support burning VOB and IFO files?My friend gave me his external HDD so I could backup his stuff. But I want to copy some movies on to DVD, but its VOB and IFO. Most Google searches are useless as the programs just crashes.

I managed to figure it out by my self ^^,!
This is the code to the profile page:

<?php echo '<td><a href="member_profile.php?username=' . $_SESSION['username'] . '"> Your ingame stats/profile</td>'; ?>

Hi again Feelay.
I'm working on a website that should contain text like this when logged in:
Welcome [username].
But my problem is, how can I make the user see their own profile page just by clicking their username here?
I tried this solution (which didn't work):

at the start:

<?phpsession_start();require_once 'db.php';if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){$user = $_SESSION['username'];?>

Where I wanted the "Welcome [username]" without the "welcome" part:

<h4>Logged in</h4><fieldset><a href = "<?php echo "member_profile.php?username=$user"; ?>"><?php echo $user; ?></a><a href="logout.php">Log out</a></fieldset>

Do you know any working solution for my problem ?
Thanks.

Thanks for the fast reply, Feelay!I will check it out ^^,

Thanks! Now everything works perfect.
Can I just ask one more question?
Is it hard to make a script within this one, that let's the users upload a profile picture to the database?
I'm currently running everything on localhost with a phpmyadmin system.
I'm thinking something like a profile page that will show:

[PROFILE PICTURE]- [PROFILE NAME]

That this will be shown to the user visiting the profile?
localhost/member_profile.php?username=Test
This will then show the username: TEST and the profile picture that TEST has uploaded.

Is this hard to make?

Now this is my member_profile.php page. Is there something wrong with it as it wont show the username ?
The session name is username and the db file is db.php.

<?phpsession_start();require 'db.php';$nuser=$_SESSION['username'];$auser=$_SESSION['admin'];if($nuser){$userfinal=$nuser;}elseif($auser){$userfinal=$auser;}if(isset($userfinal)){$username = $_GET['username'];$user = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '$username'");$user=mysql_fetch_assoc($user);if($user['level'] > 1){die("You cant view an Admins profile!");}echo "<h1>User Info</h1>";echo "<b>Username:".$user['username']."<br>";echo "<br>";  echo '<form name="backlistfrm" method="post" action="members.php">';echo '<input type="submit" value="Back to The List">';echo '</form>';echo "<br>";} else {echo "You are not logged in. Please log in to continue";}?>

Hello!Thank you for the tutorials that you have made. It has helped me a lot with my website.Just one question about this one; I only get "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end" in the members profile. It says line 35.Do you think you could help me out ? Would be really nice.+Theres no such table as user.characters in your login/registration script either. Whats supposed to be in that one?Thanks
