Solar Empire Hosting Info May 10, 2000

Solar Empire Hosting Info as of May 10 2000:



If you run a decent web site then you can host your own game of Solar Empire, which will give you your own universe for your web site which you will have control over.

When a game is hosted the actual web pages are still served from the Solar Empire servers, so there is nothing to install and set up on your own web server except for the login form html code. If you'd like the game will not be listed on the main Solar Empire site, which will give your web site the exclusive point of login.

Requirements

Form

HTML codes

If you run a clan or game page you can use the following html or something similar to it to put a login form on your site. Eventually I am looking to be able to have your own universe running for your sites which you will be able to configure and manage in a variety of ways.
<form action='http://www.solarempire.com/login.php3' method='post'>
Login Name:
<br><input type='text' name='l_name' size=10>
<br>Password:
<br><input type='password' name='passwd' size=10>
<input type=hidden name=db value=se>
<input type='submit' value='Login'>
</form>
If you want to sign up members then the following could be added as well.
