Trollsplatterer 2010-06-14	I'm not sure if I know what you mean by that. Do you mean to keep your profile and achievements online, like a Windows Live profile? That may indeed be a useful tutorial, though I don't think I can provide it very soon. Do you need it urgently?
Anonymous 2010-06-12	could you make a game maker online log in tutorial so i can log inot my website on my game
Trollsplatterer 2010-03-08	The 'score adjuster' was merely created to show you how to use the functions (scripts) in your game and to test the php-code. The example gmk just allows you to manually change your score, so you can set it to whatever you want. If you use this in your game, you decide how the score is created and then you run the script which adds the score to the online scoreboard. So the tutorial was made to have your players add their score to your online scoreboard, not for the admin to do so manually :)
Maxis 2010-03-06	Is this a score board for users or just for the admin to add the score. Just wondering why there was a score adjuster built in. and how do you load the dll into the game? Other than that I m all set up with the mysql data base and the php files on the site. Really cool program you have there and thanks.
Anonymous 2009-12-19	Yes everything is correct. And i found out what was the error. I had forgot to take away the "http://" on my website link in the script. Everything works perfect now =D
Trollsplatterer 2009-12-11	Are you sure that your database tables are the same as the example and that you added the right login and passwords for your database? Send me a mail if you want a quick response, my e-mail address is on the page behind the Trollsplatterer-link in the menu.
Dragonstorm 2009-12-08	Been looking for this a long time now, its great. I have added it to my game now, and i tried your highscore website first on the example. It worked great then, but when i changed everything to my website i get error every time =(, i get something like this: something got wrong,score not saved. I have the sql table in my database and all the tree php files are on the web server, so i can't figure out whats wrong.
Trollsplatterer 2009-10-20	Make sure that the website has a MySQL database and that the file you're using has the extension ".php", not ".html".
Anonymous 2009-10-17	never mind i found out myself ^_^, but how do i make the setting on the website from "."n/t/t
