V1.3 is actually right around the corner I've been working all day on eating through my feature list fairly quickly. I've overhauled the blog link building system already. a game rating system is now in place and the commenting system is halfway built so far. I'm hoping to have another release package ready for release on Monday. I also have somebody working on adding support for more games so a bigger game package is in the works My goal is to have game packages ready to add support for 500 games by the end of the month!

Are you still planning on releasing an unencoded version?

 

[iamnotageek]

yup.... I'm hoping to have it out next week sometime. there will be an upgrade from the current version to it.

Now that's something that I can get excited about... I've got the encoded version and I've been kicking myself ever since for buying the darn thing.

I look forward to upgrading to the unencoded version.

 

[iamnotageek]

yeah, its long overdue. It was originally encoded back when there was like no competition since this was the first real arcade site script on the market. Now that theres healthy competition I plan on pricing the encoded versions down for the price wars.

The biggest thing holding us up on the unencoded version is determining what price to sell it for

 

[Maverick]

Well as long as there's a nice discount for us poor suckers who've stuck with the script, hoping and praying something or someone would come around to change things around then I'll be happy.

 

[iamnotageek]

How much would you be willing to pay for it?

 

[Maverick]

To be honest not much since I've already forked out $80.00 for the lifetime license. I'd prefer it to be free for all lifetime license holders and a minimal fee for the ones who didn't get the lifetime license.

Another Person is selling the same script on eBay

I bought the first generation script from its former former owner for $40 in March and mysteriously it stopped working yesterday. That's $40 down the drain.

yeah, i m also wondering why this guy has the resell right.

Simple answer, he doesn't..... I'm contacting ebay now. I sent him a message and I've emailed ebay... I'm also going through their protecting intellectual property program to get this guy shut down.

did you try a support ticket? http://www.usenetgeeks.com/help/ Make sure you enter your license number in the form field when it asks for it. I'm having too many people requesting support and NOT having a license. With guys like that guy on Ebay I won't support anybody without a license.

 

[spikedo]

Like I said, I bought it in March 2005 and the owner wasn't handing out licenses then. Now the site has, I believe, changed hands twice. So all those people from NP who bought the script in its early days are basically unsupported.

I have no way of tracking this. It appears to be that first version that is all over ebay and has made its way through to alot of people. There is nothing I can do about this.

The previous owner charged an upgrade fee for any of those users that wanted the newer version. I'm about to post my second update to this script. Anybody who dates back to the pre license version will just have to buy the script at the discounted price. I'm sorry but with all of the piracy thats happened/happening I won't be handing out free updates to people who I don't have in my license system and I have no real way to verify payments.

V1.3 is getting packaged up right now... I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

V1.3's big changes:

* google adsense plug and play with the publisherID in the config file - I'll continue testing and trying to put these ads in the best places possible. You can change them or remove them with simple template editing
* Game Comments!
* Game Ratings!
* Improved blog copy/paste code integration
* streamlined templates a bit

I have the unencoded version tentatively priced at a $20 premium. Price is subject to change though. Any old customers can simply enter a trouble ticket and paypal me the funds and I'll manually upgrade them to the unencoded version. I will have that unencoded version posted sometime between now and Wednesday you can order now, start setting up the templates, DB and stuff and just upgrade to the unencoded version as soon as its out.

Unencoded version will ONLY be available for owned licenses.

 

[spikedo]

I know quite a few NPers who bought the script prelicense phase so you could have a decent upgrade market here. I like the idea of integratinmg Google AdSense. Is there a 1.3 demo? Also, please explain the difference b/encoded and unencoded.

 

[iamnotageek]

supply me with a screenshot of the paypal transaction and I'll give an extra 25% off for any of those who purchased it way back from the original owner. They MUST match his paypal account.

the 1.3 demo is here: http://www.ianag.com/arcade/ tonight sometime I'll probably start development on 2.0 with the members and all that other good stuff.

Encoded - can't modify the php files it uses ioncube
UnEncoded - can modify the PHP files.

I'm getting alot of questions about upgrading:

All that has to be done is modify the new config.php and overwrite all of the old files. Run install.php (yes even for upgrade) things like the games table hasn't been changed at all so the new files + the DB mods and you're up to the latest version!
