mobile work

Admin please contact me, I have something I would like to discuss/show you

the.rival.pizza.guy hotmail.com

I have made a layout that is very easy going on mobile phones, and may encourage new players due to the option of being able to play on there phone.

As I said to Kenzu, I have no issue with doing some of the leg work trying to get something added to make things better.

sorry haven't had much time to be on msn last few days

about mobile phones, i've already written it somewhere, i considered adding a separate folder with some basic pages (base, bank, train, armory, trade center) where layout would be significantly reduced in size to be more appropriate for phones

Wouldn't need another folder. Mainly due to the abuse, my forum has a script that checks the way you connect or is it the broswer it checks... anyways

It would help keep people from abusing it.

I have designed a layout that is good for mobile phones, I can show it to you and also have an emulator that you can use to see the page and also your current setup.

Now this is used on phpbb3 forum, but i am sure you can figure out how to get it to work for the game.

Code:

  $this->data['is_mobile'] = false;
          $browsers_array = array('240x320', '320x240', 'blackberry', 'iemobile', 'minimobile', 'mobile', 'opera mini', 'pda', 'phone', 'pocket', 'psp', 'samsung', 'symbian', 't-shark', 'teleca', 'wireless');
  foreach ($browsers_array as $ua_match)
  {
  if (strpos($user_browser, $ua_match) !== false)
  {
    $style = 3;
    $this->data['is_mobile'] = true;
    break;
  }
  }
  // end mobile browser detection mod

Change the "$style = 3;" to whatever style# your mobile style is installed as.<< As I said I use this on a phpBB3 forum.
also
they also had something abotu iphone broswer.

Code:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

Well ... on my phones (2 different models) the site as it is now works fine .... I can attack, raid, etc .... of course it's more complicated, but it works.

mine kinda works, its very hard to type in boxes, due to my phone doesn't support java, so I have to use my windows mobile IE version

Mine works sometime although ALOT of the time it comes up with a "You entered the wrong username/email/password"

I am fairly sure I havn't misstyped anything but once or twice I would understand but it does it 60-70% of the time I try to log in. I hardly think that is just misstyping (Could be though, I'm not sure). This only happens on my phone by the way.

@Alex - same thing keeps happening to me. I have to retry far more than makes sense, but only on my phone. I am certain I have had to retry when I got it right the first time. No idea what the issue is. Maybe our mobile browsers aren't handling sessions or cookies well or something.

well i know with mine its the css thats being used on the inputs/buttons. my phone doesn't like.

Also admin i think i found a way to have it so when connecting to mobile you get another layout in the game, just needs checked if you are still interested.

i am pretty sure i know how it works, because i already looked into these t hings a while ago, but we can talk about it when i'm on msn next time, tomorrow or in a few days

My phone works good on AW, all links work. But its screwy on TGW. cant bank, and the command page main list is offset by 2. you have to click 2 links above what you want to get what you want.

On the log in problems, I found on mine is was mostly due to the fact i have to "select" the box to get the curser to show up, otherwise i lost the first letter, and thats what resulted in failed log ins. Since i figured that out my failed log ins dropped from 2 to 3 times per log in, to 2 or 3 times per day. and i log in from a moble 10 to 20 times a day prolly.

ok, thanks for the info nomad.
Will find out how to make the page always select that code box so that you can start typing into it without having to first select it.

ok, added the autoselecting box, works on my browser. You need to have javascript working, otherwise it can't work.

idk if I have java, I'll go check tho

BRB

*Edit*
I'm running a Black Jack II pushing windows moble 6.

I still have to select the box.

java != javascript, although having talked to seaborgium apparently some mobiles are stupid enough to not be able to support javascript.

anyways I think i found a html only solution so try again and let me know if it still doesn't work

Tried again, still have to select the box.

I'm use to it now, so not a big deal for me.

only works if you stay focused on the page while it's loading.
If i start loading page, but then switch to a msn window then the text wont be focused on the box.
I got told by one person who's mobile can't use javascript, that it works

yeah i have to select the box but it does go to it. which helps a lot.

worked with admin and found the issue with the input boxes. Stupid mobile IE doesn't like some parts css.

Well thank you admin for working with me.

Now if we could get a mobile setup for the game
