Creating a new PW - web control panel?

[Legacy_Dragene]

               

Hi guys, I'm working on my roleplaying persistent world module. Most of the stuff is in place - lore, characters, items, most of the scripts, currently working on locations. I, however, would like to add something else. Something I've seen on a number of PW modules I've had pleasure playing on. 

 

A control panel, in two instances. One for players, where they could see the characters online, view their own characters, customize their descriptions, connect their public cdkeys to their account names as a way of verification. The second one for DMs to view all characters, set notes to them, check their levels/attributes etc. I've been searching for a while now and I have yet to find any tutorial or a template that I could work on.

 

Are there any control panels like that available? And if not, may I ask you to give me a few hints and links on how to create my own? I suspect I'd have to connect php with my MySQL database, but I'm not really... good at shaping this stuff to make it look in any other way than just setting a loose text with a different background color.

 

I don't really expect you guys to spoon-feed me, but any directions, any help, just about anything would be greatly appreciated! '>

               It's just a personal preference of mine, but if your able to get iis or iis express on the same machine as your server, then you can build your website in aspx /C#


Using OEIShared.dll which comes with nwn2 you can open bic files through your website in order to display info or edit toons etc


I also like visual studio for web design as it lets me build an entity model visually

Using this logic I can visually through drag and drop link a user account to a game account, so that user when they log into the site only see the characters for their game accounts.


First things first: decide what the minimum feature you want is, then detail what you would do in an ideal world, and then decide what you want as a stretch. Eg : would be nice to have but only if you can manage to get time.


Once you have the features planned or listed in order of priority, then you can start thinking about how to build them in a website
