Upgradable Items

[sniko]

Hey,

This isn't a request, or a "ahh, help me moment" but an idea someone could do, to try and get the community back as it was, to inspire young/old developers to open and develop games. Anyway, this is the idea;

The Idea
You mine for ore, and with that ore, you can upgrade your items. A simple concept, and potentially enjoyed by many players.

SQL Tables
upgrade_items, with the following columns;
id int(4) PRIMARY KEY
ore_needed varchar(50)
item_from int(4)
item_to int(4)

ID For indexing
ore_needed store an array of values, separated by a comma, explode the comma, to see what they need. Stores itemID's from the items table
item_from this is the item that you are upgrading, a numerical value.
item_to once you have all the "ore_needed", this is the item you get once upgraded.

The How

yh.. lol, to go abit more on this, beyond me of course, but the idea is, you mine, ore, bronze, tin and more,
Then the idea was to melt them, combine them together then upgrade the wepaons, i'm working on the mineing part now

I created a Combine items feature somewhere on here

I was going to create a feature like this and got about 50% of the way through. As always I wanted to make the system truly dynamic so it'd fit with any game. I soon realised how much work it'd be to get my unique ideas implemented into the system without making it take up allot of my time.

I did something like this a while ago, which I dont have anymore, so if someone has my crafting system, please send me a copy :P But it pretty much did this, but you could restrict each 'upgrade' to each job. If I can be resent a copy, I will upgrade it, and create it outside of the jobs.

Nothing is beyond you its PHP not quantum physics!! Its really not that hard just a matter of getting used to it and then learning more on how to do it better.

Feel free to show what you have and then it can be made better.
