Hi all, I'm looking for a way to run a small 'virtual' stock exchange and/or currency exchange. Not necessarily for money, I would just give users 'credits' and they can buy and sell with credits. Now my preference is a currency exchange as that's what the site is more focussed on. If it were that, I'd prefer prices to be set by real life as opposed to market forces in the game. I know it's a long shot but I figured I may as well ask first... Thanks for any ideas. I'm open to commercial scripts but would naturally prefer free ones.
The "eXng stock market exchange simulator" is your best bet. Its a PHP script and free, and a very nice one for that. The author is long gone, and I cant find any sites that re-hosted it on google. As far as I am aware, that is the only free script to do what you need.
Thanks for the reply Collin1000. So close and yet so far I assume by your reply, then, that you don't have a copy yourself floating around? How about any of the other DPers reading?
I spent 2 hours trying to find it last night, and I **finally** did. Here is the re-hosted download URL: (note, the authors email is bouncing - hes long gone. your on your own with this script!) http://dl.ultimaforums.co.uk/dsplus/m.php?p=exng.zip
Your quite welcome, let me know how the script works out for you. Its a shame the script's author is no longer around, I would take the project under my wing since its a really great script, just a few minor glitches.
Hi, I know the post is really old, but can you respot it? I need the script, I know I have it on some bup cd, but i was unable to find it and wanted to give it another try
I'm looking for that script, too. Would be great, if anyone could share it again. Thank you very very much!!!
I've attached the version that I was given. If you're the original author and you have a problem with me posting it, let me know.
