Engine/OS Project for a game like...

[espe]

Hellow,

I came trough google to an topic here and want you to ask, if there is and engine in your (kewl!) engine list what ii like sfgame.co.uk?
The, for me, important thing in my (future) browsergame is to choose between some classes/races/whatever to be a "member" of one of the "factions/races/classes" (you can be the best in your faction instead of all-faction-ranking). then you can start levelup your hero/champion/character through quests and arena fights and find a nice guild/clan/group. you know i guess

Is there an engine out like this? i am beginner at php and mysql, started my own login and register-script. after that, you log in and create one or more individual characters (like orc hunter, with more agility than strenght or intelligence). this is the best i've ever made, but know i cant progress... need a base (engine) to learn with and to see how something goes.

I hope to find good information in this board and sorry for bad english!

Welcome!

All I can suggest is to go through the PHP Engine List and try them out. Unfortunately, I could not download, install and try them all out, so I am not sure of all their features. Some of them had very little information about their features and how they worked. Some only had a download link haha! However, I don't think having classes and factions would be that unique of a feature, so I bet at least one on that list has them

Nice, thank you.

Since when sf got this "recommended project" box in their sidebar? on my own last search for such engines they didnt had

For your list, search for "litotex" (german programmers + forum), what is an real modular-based engine, but i have to say that v0.7.1 ist the more functional engine for php beginners, because you can log in to the backend and create buildings, troops and edit map-size, user and so on and v0.8 contains a better/newer code with more classes, but without all modules (buildings, map, troops so just the user-handling is availble).
all in all, the team is very inactive. in their good times, they had an update-server like wbb, phpbb boards have. good old times

the next os game is called "bandit", where you can play a character in an mafia-based game. with crimes, fights, jobs and so on + an nice backend. still inactive i think, but not bad...

I will add it to the list, but for a non-German speaker (and I don't think we have many in the forums) it would be quite an undertaking to use

EDIT: Google Translate has the main site calling Litotex a Content Management System. Is it a CMS or a game engine? lol

[espe]

0.7 is a real game engine (http://www.meissner-much.info/modules/s ... enshot.php, lito 0.7 screens just googled).

0.8 can be used as cms, even as game engine.
pretty useless, because a good programmer who will take all the work to use 0.8 as game engine should better write his own engine/base

I will have to take your word for it My only resource for German is my mother-in-law, who was born and raised in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg. However, something tells me she would not be game with sitting down and translating the whole thing for me

Its easy to know that Shakes and fidget is a flash game.. There are many of them, and i would like to know how they are made too

Lito 0.7 download http://share.linux-doku.de/litotex_0_7_1.zip
It is an german bg engine with an medieval settet default strategic game (upgrade farms and mines to get ressources in your city, build units and attack other cities). full admin panel, translation files (i dont remember them really).

@sfgame: Yea something transforms it into flash, what makes it more safe from injections i think?
But im more interested in the gameplay, what makes fun for me (well it costs too much real money to be in touch with top100).

I can help if anyone needs help with german translation

If it has a lot of promise, an English-language fork could be awesome But since that could take a long time, I would wait and see if there is serious interest in the community.
