online scores... tutorial + Live receiver...

Hi there,

that may be the return of a long gone topic, sorry for that.... But I definitely can't do anything with the replies i found by searching in the forum's archives... Using get object instead of live receiver sounds great but I cannot open the Easy_Score_Upload_Tutorial.mfa without the livereceiver...Thus i can't learn what I would be learning inside there :) Any updated version of this tutorial or anything that could help me out ? Thank you !

Check Neatwares Extension List in the side bar--->. That way you can at least load up the Tutorial.

Thanks but the download link to LiveReceiver is broken :( Also i forgot to ask but, should I be using the HIGHSCORE objects with any online scoring ? I haven;t opened the tutorial file yet so maybe this is a redundant question. But also just your honest opinion if it's easier without, with simple counters and or alterable values. Thanks.

I think Jamie replaced "Live Receiver" with "GET Object". So I believe you'd just need to replace the actions of Live Receiver with one of GET Object.

Well, he can't even open the MFA because he doesn't have Live Receiver. If I had a copy I'd upload it for you..

Here you go :)

Hi Shmuper,


Have a look here



I use the opportunity and ask a question too.
According the tutorial if the table does not exit it will be created by a name as defined in config.php
Now if I want to utilize this as a web cart and want to make a table for each client to be named as the client’s name. In this case how can I let the table to be created without being dependent to the config.php?


/////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Check for the existing table if its not found create it
// This is really just here to make the life of new users of the script eaiser
// They won't have to go thru the script and create the table
/////////////////////////////////////////////////

if(!mysql_num_rows( mysql_query("SHOW TABLES LIKE '".$tname."'")))
{
$query = "CREATE TABLE `$tname` (`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,`gameid` varchar(255) NOT NULL,`playername` varchar(255) NOT NULL,`score` int(255) NOT NULL,`scoredate` varchar(255) NOT NULL,`md5` varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;";

$create_table = mysql_query($query)or die (mysql_error());
}

-------------------------------------------------------

// Your table name for mySQL
// You can change this is you wish
$tname= 'scores';



With thanks

You wouldn't, creating tables is a stupid idea.

Copy how this stores multiple games' high scores in one table, instead.

Also, if you're asking a new question, you should really be asking in your own thread.

:blush:Sorry boss

Thanks Pasiunia. That Live Receiver Extension will help a lot of people out with that tutorial.
