That problem would have been a problem with your php distrribution, it may have been restarting or being upgraded, not sure though apart from it isn't an error on our side

ok just downloaded and installed on 3.6.7

been playing around with it, and this is pretty damn cool

one question though, when creating a RPG profile. How hard would it be to add/edit the existing inputs that are there? Like say i wanted to remove/change the "Character Alignment" and make it something else like light and dark side, sort of a more star-wars related theme, instead of good and evil?

If this isn't too hard to do, how would one go about doing this?

And can this be done in the full version?... if this is possible, i will certainly buy the full verson

This is pretty damn cool tho

to find out what phrases to change, the easiest way would be go Languages & Phrases->Search In Templates and search for inferno and select Phrase Variable only

Am very unimpressed with the support, I feel like my money has been wasted, what's more, it was user donated money to get this plugin up.

I don't see that it's too much to ask to have instructions how to integrate this with an existing cash system.

I could probably understand if I wasn't having to pay for it, but if you're going to charge for your work a level of service is expected.

[Inferno Tech]

Gray if you do a search on the support forums, which you currently have access to, you should find an answer to that question Support for paid versions is given there, not here.

Secondly, we offer support, however i do not understand why you feel this should extend to us telling you how to modify the product. If you buy a playstation game from a store, do you expect support from sony on how to make it run on an X-Box? Do you expect the helplines to tell you how to modify the game?

You do not, therfore i feel it is unfair that you should somehow see us as lesser to them simply because we do not sell in retail outlets.

Paying for a product does not automatically entitle you the right to an answer to any question about how to do anything with the product. If you have a problem, we will fix it, if there is a bug, we will fix it, if you cannot get it running, we will help you. We do not have time to mod it for everyone who asks however.

I hope you understand that we will do everything we can to make sure the product works for you, but we are not obliged to tell you how to do things the system was not designed for, if you want to do something it was not designed for, then you should ask on a place like vb.org.

Try emailing Jelsoft, and asking them how to migrate their posts to work on IPB, or something similar. They won't answer your request, will i see a similar vitriol agaisnt Jelsoft? I doubt it. Just because we are a small company, does not give you the right to treat us badly just because you bought something from us.

Thanks for listening,

If you want to start claiming you own a "business" you should learn the first rule of any, and that is that the customer is always right.

If you insist on charging for a watered-down level 2 service which is basically an expansion on previously free mods that are now out of date, due to patch releases, then you should think about having it fully integratable in the first place.

It strikes me as utterly stupid that you would sell this without stating that unlike nearly every cash-orientated mod out there THIS ONE doesn't intergrate with any of them, and then having CLOSED support forums so anyone wanting to buy the plugin can't even check if this is a resolved issue.

You are selling a product to customers, and a customer has complained that the product is not up to scratch in comparison to all the other (might I add mainly free) products on the market. This is perfectly acceptable, I'm not asking for you to make the mod cook my dinner for me, I'm asking you why it doesn't do the function of most releases out there, and then even telling you that if you give me the correct references I would do it myself. But that's too much for you.

And no, you're wrong, there is no existing support for what I need, as I've already checked and checked again... all it consists of is promises of "soon to be released" or "coming with next patch" (which will probably cost extra).

You've been nothing but useless and to be honest your last reply is pathetic and is the reason why your support is so poor, you expect to charge everyone for it then leave it at that, and that isn't how any economy works. You don't deserve to charge for your products.

I will be contacting you for a refund.

I should note, development on v2.4 was frozen long ago. We offer it seperately for those who prefer 2.4 over version 3, instead of paying for v3 just to obtain 2.4

Support doesn't cost anything, as for integration, the system simply wasn't designed for this, you can blame me for that, but a 3rd party system with money integration would mess the game up (in the sense of balance anyway). Also as Decado noted, support forums aren't here, unfortunately we can't keep our eyes everywhere

As for the references you asked for, I believe they were given to you? If not:
Table: inferno_user
Field: money

I can honestly say we've never charged existing clients for new releases, wether it bug releases or feature updates/upgrades, even users from the original system still get the latest updates without paying anything extra.

You're entitled to your opinion I guess, if you have anything further to add to the matter feel free.

Thanks for the more helpful reply, I appreciate it.

Does v3 work with 3.6.6? And does it offer this integration? Or if not how soon would that be?

[Inferno Tech]

yes v3 is available on 3.6.6 due to the fact that it is still under development and i believe the details were sent to you gray by me, if not then i apologise. As for integration it may be available for the gold release that is soon to be released. As for v2.4 if you wish to make a feautre request then please go to the Inferno Support section of GZ|E and we will see what we can do.
