- Extract all the files from the archive into a folder on your web host.
- Go into PHPMyAdmin or any other database manager, and create a database for the game. Remember the table name and username/password.
- Edit config.php to match your database settings.
- Give read/write permissions (needed for Smarty) to 'smarty/templates_c'
- Open sql.txt and copy and paste the SQL queries into your database manager, or upload the file to automatically create the tables.
- Move the cron folder to somewhere where your users can't access it (such as the root folder) or change the folder name and file names.
- Go into your control panel to set the cron tab for the cron files. Set reset.php to once a day, and revive.php to once every few hours (your choice of how often). If you can't use cron tabs, than just visit these files in your web browser manually every day.
- Check to make sure the game works and that you followed all the instructions correctly.
- Enjoy!
Good luck in entering the world of browser-based games!
- Go into your database manager and open the 'blueprint_items' table (NOT the 'items' table!)
- Insert a new row, and fill in the values for 'name', 'description', 'type', 'effectiveness', and 'price'.
- 'name' - The name of the item
- 'description' - A description of the item
- 'type' - Either 'weapon' or 'armour'
- 'effectiveness' - The power of the item
- 'price' - how much it costs
