This engine is unfinished, I will probably not update it.
I won't give support as I totally forgot what I did, so if you have experience in PHP then shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out.
It's useless to me now so I'm giving it out for free...
Features:
- Template system
- Login/Register system
- Messaging system ( e.g. inbox / outbox and so on)
- Events system (e.g. what happens in-game)
- Maps / Towns
- Buddy List
- Storage for currency (bank)
- Jobs (Magician / Thief / Archer / Warrior etc)
- Admin panel
- Player profiles
- NO CRONS!
How to install:
1. Make sure you have a server with PHP and MySQL, if local try WAMP.
2. Copy all files to anywhere in your server folder that is accessible by http e.g. "c:\wamp\www\MyGame" and then http://localhost/MyGame
3. Upload the ZGE.sql into your database, this can easily be done with phpMyAdmin by clicking import and by selecting the file.
4. Edit config.php to change the connection to the database, change password and username.
5. Everything should work fine. Now you are ready to modify or whatever you would like to do.
Please note the features listed may not be fully functional, i may have not finished them but i know for sure i did finish quite a few. Feel free to modify the game as much as you want and/or use it to build a game.

The engine is fantasy text-based, kind of.. well that's what I was aiming for. (classes / quests / jobs / monsters etc etc)hallsofvallhalla wrote:thanks!

I'll try and get screenshots, when I put it on my local host server =p
There is not much to the engine, but it can help people to create there own engine or build of mine.

Re: Unfinished PHP Game Engine
Unfortunately, I have not seen Echo around in a few months. Maybe he will stop back by. However, if you are interested in working with an existing engine, there are plenty of open source ones released online that are complete. Just Google them up and go exploring!

Re: Unfinished PHP Game Engine
I don't think so. Echo has been MIA for months now, so the chances of him stopping back by to re-upload it are pretty slim. And to my knowledge, no one really got into it due to not knowing much about it. There are several open source engines out there you could try to download and check out. Maybe we need a stickied list of open source PBBG engines...
