Valentines update!
Date: 14-02-2012 22:40Just another update =)
So what has been done the past few days you ask?
Quite alot actually..
Orders are being payed and buildings can be build. Income and stock updates work like a charm aswell.
Building repairs are working, and I'm also almost done with working out new units and their stats.
You can still build soldiers, planes and tanks, but everything else (types and weaknesses etc.) is different.
The next couple of days I will focus on finishing unit orders, and making all of the repair and build pages accessible.
Stay tuned! ;)
Mid-week update!
Date: 02-02-2012 00:18Here's another update for anyone that's reading this (probably.. no one.. :P)
The base view (main page) is done, and works like a charm.
Next up is: how to respond when a new user registers..
For example: If I just registered, and join the game, I will need the basics on my land.
The basics will be: Placing the main base, placing a powerplant and placing a building to get an income.
It will check these things ALL the time, if your base is missing 1 of these things, you wont be able to play unless you build one straight away.
Which brings us to the following problems: What if you have multiple bases, and don't want an income from this base?
If we exclude the check if you have multiple bases, then we get a new problem: What if you dont have an income on ANY of these bases?
Checking all of your bases will be a pain in the ass for the server..
Heres what I'll do to fix these problem: On a new base, I will require atleast 1 main building.
If it's the only base you have, I will also require 1 powerplant and 1 income building.
That way, you can sell most of your buildings if you have plenty of lands, and see an inbound attack that you can't repel, but if you are a new player you will get an income and have some power.
My guess is it will take a few days before this is done, since I have to work all thursday.
I also have a girlfriend to please, a birthday, and a few hospital visits planned in the weekend...
Sunday night update
Date: 30-01-2012 00:53Another update! woohoo!
Login works (just for me right now..), but the login page needs to be updated to look better.
The base page (previously known as "main" page) is 75% done and converted.. which truly is alot of work..
Tomorrow I'll start working on the view, which is going to be done pretty much from scratch.
It will look like the old "main" page though, but it will be coded better.
Once the very basic main page is up and running again, I will start concentrating on the income, changing the name of your base etc. etc.
Basic code for all of these functions have already been rewritten the past few days.
For example, Its already updating the stock, based on the amount of products that have been sold (though no products can be aquired or sold yet :P so it's a useless function right now).
However, this will change soon enough, and will save time later on!
Don't expect to be logging in anytime soon though, since this time, I will probably wait until attack is actually completely done (including sending messages etc.) before opening registrations again.
Though if you are one of the older users, and can't wait send me an e-mail and I might give you early acces!

Updates. Dohh..
Date: 26-01-2012 19:30So ye, if you see this..
Check back soon!
There is not much that will work right now, but I really really want attack and support to work this time!
This required some drastic changes.. And the fact that I have to switch all these files to classes and re-check them etc. wont help much either.. I guess..
So Anyway, When this returns, it will return WAY better, Promised!
