sign up bug

[generalbg]

So i found that very bad bug.I have installed FAF but when i try to create new account it types:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare replace() in D:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\empires\funcs.php on line 15
And all files in which is included funcs.php (the most of the files) there is the same error help pls!!!!!

[Veranor]

Have you made any modifications to the source?

Perhaps there is trouble with Win version of require_once... which would result in some troubles. html.php is required by and requires funcs.php, perhaps removing 'require_once("funcs.php");' from html.php will resolve this issue for most pages. However, there might be some trouble with pages where news is included.

Other devs: is there any page which includes or requires html.php which does not also include funcs.php? If so that require in html.php is probably unnecessary and while it shouldn't cause errors, it appears to here.

Edit: Wait for some more responses before editing it out though.

Before we go any further, are you trying to set up your own FAF-like game, or simply trying to play FAF? If you just want to play, you don't need to download anything. Just go to the main page, click on "Creat Account" under the server(s) you want to play on, fill out the form, and there you are. Your pass will be sent to you in the mail. If you want to set up your own game, then, yeah, wait around to see what Beatles and Devari say on this. I don't know much about the technical aspects of the game.

if you already regestered, and having trouble logging in (aka put in user name and password on FAF)

then put in your password and username, but this time, before you press log in, UNCHECK the box that says "Use Cookies", then log in

ok vernaror you are right it all goes to plan you are genius but one more question can i ask you when i open the page HALL OF FAME it opens but on top there is an error message :
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\empires\hfame.php on line 45
CAn you help to me again?Now i am making a bulgarian version of the game.And it will cost me much so from time to time i will ask you some qeustions ok?

[Kyrodo]

creating a game eh? well that answers that question...

[generalbg]

and one more question there is no table FAF_NOLIMIT where the data for hfame.php must be. HOw can i create this table

[Veranor]

The Hall of Fame page uses data from the "The Challenge" game (notice the login for that on our main page). It is essentially the "top 10" page for that game. However, in the DB that game is sometimes referred to as "no limit".

If you want to have a hall of fame similar to ours, you should copy the table structure of the other game tables (FAF_cog, FAF_bfr) to make a new table called FAF_nolimit. However in the most recent source this db is referred to as FAF_hfame. You can edit the name in "config.php" if you wish.
(See " $config['nolimit_table'] = 'faf_hfame' " in config.php) Again, this is all assuming you want a "The Challenge" mode. If you don't, you can simply remove the Hall of Fame link.

Good luck on setting up your own version of the game! It's great to see people using to source code in new ways.

[generalbg]

And again one question i fixed the hall of fame but now i cant get turns.When i use all my turns and there is a time "next turn in .... minutes" but when the time runs out i dont get any turns and the time runs again and again but i havent got turns any suggestions about this please

You need to set up a cron job. But you're running Windows right? You can use the "Task Scheduler". Go to the control panel. Double-Click Scheduled Tasks. Double click "Add Scheduled Tasks". Click next and then hit browse and select the turns file (these should be configured to be auto run by the php engine, if not write a batch script that simply calls "php -f C:/whatever/file/here/"). Choose "one time only". Choose a start time. You don't have to input a password if you only want it to run when you're logged in (otherwise put in the password). Now hit the little check box that says "Open advanced properties..." then hit Finish. A new window should come up. Click the "Schedule" tab and hit the "Advanced" button. If you click repeat task, you can have the task repeat every X minutes.

^^^ I would not do this, it's a pain.

Personally, I would wait for the new Cronless mode to move to stable and download that. Which should happen soon... Promisance games have been run on windows (Devari (right?), Ragefur) but it's a really big pain. There are ways to work around it.

EDIT:

I've been googling around and there are some "windows" versions of Cron, but I have no idea if they're any good or even work. If you're interested: http://www.kalab.com/freeware/cron/cron.htm (Again I can not verify the quality of this program and IMO you should wait)

EDIT2: Any other Devs got ideas?

[generalbg]

So i must wait for the new cronless version or create a shcedule.But explain me one more time.What are the minuses of the shedule.What is this painful i cant understand why its so complex.And when will go the new cronless version.

[generalbg]

something more which is the file that i must target by cron or scheduler run_turns.php or turns.php ?

[The Beatles]

turns.php

run-turns.php does the work for each server, so you can use one cron for all servers.
The new cronless should be out September 1. (You can also get its development version from the Download link on the main page. Not recommended though.)

Here is the hall of fame dump... just run it in phpmyadmin or something.
