Ok I am totally new to developement and I am hoping that perhaps you guys could help me out a bit..

I want to have my game do basically what your site does..

I want to have my players game stats displayed on their forum profiles..
and over there <<<<
Not all the same stats that you guys have available on this site..
just score rank ship name and ship type,


What files would I need to edit to accomplish this and a general idea of what I need to do would help out alot..

I will be using IPB forums..

on a side note I am developing everything on my home pc before I put my game site online..

Every forum software is different, and as you can see we have not actually integrated our forum into the profiles or the game. Its not necessarily an easy thing to do. PJ might know, but I don't even know where to begin to point you.

If your new to development I wouldn't bite off that big of a project right off the bat.

The very first thing your gonna need to do is see if the forum software has some sort of API built in. That would make integration a bit easier.

Well, the game has special programs for sending data in a simple format to our profile server. You would have to create something similar and add it as a scheduler file. If you are new to development this might be a little much for you to try and do. Plus you would have to find a way to match your forum users to your players or require all players to use their forum name. Either of those things won't be that easy a task.
