VWar is a game clan war system. It uses a layout similar to a forum and allows one clan to challenge another. At the moment
My SQL[link5] 5 support is lacking to say the least. Stefan from the Old Gents clan has asked me to get it working with
My SQL[link5] 5.
I started with setting it up on their clan server but have now decided to work locally on my own server since I have access to the logs.
Notes
- Had to give write access to backup folder so that htaccess and htpasswd files could be created at end of installation
- I had already made a bunch of changes to the code before moving development to my local server. These were mostly due to how My SQL[link5] doesn't allow "default" values for text columns but the VWar source code had them defined all over the place.
Todo
- Seems to be stable as they've been using it for a 2 and 1/2 months with no more error reports
Complete
11.05.07
- Testing seems complete on the old gents server, I've tried most functions and they seem to work
- Changed line 901 in vwar_complete.style to say "Game Type Name" instead of "Gametypename", this is the only change that does not have a Tann San comment next to it as I didn't want that entered into the DB
- Uploaded to vwar server for public approval
03.05.07
- Created remote DB
- Setup initial remote file structure
- Completed install procedure
- Began changing files here and there to allow the clan to use them
- MySQLi Conversion
- changes made to:
- install.php
- functions_admin.php
- functions_common.php
- functions_install.php
- class_backup.php
- copied class_db.php as class_db_mysqli.php and plan to change it to use mysqli
- added a new row to the installation requirements page (index.php) to show if the My SQ Li is available
- Tested on my server and can perform all steps required to challenge the clan
