[Come2Daddy]

Here is what I used:

ibProArcade is compatible to PNflashgames, some information about it:

> download the games at www.pnflashgames.com in POSTNUKE format
> PNflashgames can submit their score and play again without reloading the page or going back to ibProArcade

to install a PNflahgames-Game, do the following:

1) locally unzip the archive
2) upload the .swf-file to /arcade
3) create two .gif-files (gamename1.gif and gamename2.gif) based on the .gif provided with the game
4) upload the two .gif-files to /arcade/images/
5) enter AdminCP -> Arcade -> Add Game and manually add it (using the first upper section)

2) upload the .swf-file to /arcade

Find the file that ends in .swf and upload it into your /arcade folder of your site using your FTP.

I followed these instructions and absolutly nothing happend. Images is showing as red crosses and the game isnt loading/cant be played :confused:

Any other suggestions?

Hey thanks for your post but where do you find the GNAME for the game?

You can find it in the *.php file.


Or from the image files for example. Every game has 2 image files:
gamename1.gif
gamename2.gif

The "gamename" part is gname.
