Paypal In-game Shop Goodies

Wed, 22 Sep 2010 06:48:16 +0000

I'm pretty interested in how this can work to integrate paypal into a browser-like interface of byonds' to make an in-game shop and it may help those that want to do the same in the future. Due to paypal's flexibility, the process in doing so look plausible (by looking at it), seeing that you need to set flags of what is being bought before going through the checkout. BUT, as I had seen byond's nature, getting back from the checkout play via portal so they can get their things instantly could present a problem (like going back into the game again but without loading it again and kicking users off for multi-logging).

But this is from a mental prospective as I have not test it. But I do wonder if it's possible to do so and how would someone code it in sufficiently to work. This info may help others that are interest in making in-game buyable content, such as alternate currency, 'rent' items, and item packages.

Canceling a order in wallet

I have bought a gift membership to someone, and I made a mistake of not making it anonymous. I saw the order page but went back to make it anonymous. After I payed it, I still have that order that is pending for paypal payment to process. How do I remove it from the wallet, or cancel the non-anonymous unprocessed order?

Byond on VPS

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:38:54 +0000

I've heard that byond can be ran on a virtual private server(VPS), but I've yet to run into any sources of how to get started, what to expect, or anything of that matter, because that stuff is pretty foreign to me. Maybe I just don't know where to look, but google even failed to find the info...except this post.

It'll be nice to have a help guild that takes you steps into the basics of getting it started. I sure need it. =1
