vB Tetris v2.5 | Leaderboard, Comments and High Score System v2.5 :)

[John]

hack removed, someone please delete this thread.

Apparently the 6 days solid I spend supporting this wasn't good enough (not to mention the 65 page total).

Thanks

[John]

The loading screen for the new Tetris .swf file.

Notice the way it puts the name of your vB board in there :)

[John]

After the game had loaded, and before you press start. Take note of the username and high score elements on the screen.

[DarkDraco07]

yay

[John]

Tetris, mid-game!

[John]

If your scores makes it onto the leaderboard, you can add a comment to your high score.

[John]

After adding your comment!

[John]

The leaderboard, as seen by all members.

[John]

Quick link - I'm sure people are going to want to customise this, I've included link instructions in the install.txt file.

[John]

And don't forget - all of these screenshots were taken on a fresh install of a board - so it looks hideous!

Let me know if it works, won't you :s

Edit - In those screenshots, the list only had two records in - obviously, when you have at least 10 high scores in the database it'll show the top 10. :)

[Schorsch]

first - Thank You VERY much John, great work !!! :banana:

second - is there a chance that u can integrate the feature of Erwin's "vB Flash Player - Play Any Flash Game or Movie in vB (including Tetris!)" - Hack, so that it's simply possible to change the proper flash game ?

that would be super-duper :knockedout: :banana:

Thanks :) Let me know if it works! It's the thing I've been dreading - I post the hack, and then get 50 posts after it containing the words "it", "doesn't", and "work" :|

I'll have a look at Erwin's code for the flash player :)

unfortunately I'm still at work (can't install, because of shi*t firewall, so I don't have FTP access :( ), so I'll tell u if it's working in 4 hours

[kenny@ecn]

Alright, this is installed, and it doesnt work :(.


1. My forum name is ExoticCarForums.com so when the loading screen comes up, it is only big enough for ExoticCarFor

2. The leader board doesn't work. It said I was the second on the board, but when I go there, there are no names whatsoever.

I don't know what to do lol. What do you think this is?

[Mr_P]

mine is stuck on the blue screen - Loading

[kenny@ecn]

Yeah, with the new swf (the one custom made for me because of my long name)- it is stuck on a white screen... It just doesnt load up the tetris.

[John]

kenny - your flash file loads up perfectly from here... I'm going to have to look into this...

[Funkie]

All loads fine,and plays fine top job fella:)Thanx for all your hard work...

Only problem iam gettin is this 1 below:(:(

Yep, now the Flash works... However, the leader board doesnt.

[Mr_P]

i get no errors just the loading screen and it tries to load something as the blue bar in IE is going up slow yet never gets to top

[kenny@ecn]

Also, can we get the .FLA file you used for this?

[John]

Yeah, just let me cure the huge problems first!

[Funkie]

Also gettin a blank new gif.
Looks like its addin the http addy twice to me

[John]

Does your leaderboard work okay tho? Just getting an error?

[kenny@ecn]

Just a request after those problems are fixed. Could the leaders board be on the actual page with the .SWF file? If not, can there at least be a link to it from that page?

[Funkie]

yup working fine ,apart from the db error....

[John]

I've updated the zip file - should get rid of the error :) (replace tetris.php)

[Matt87]

Still messed up... and i get this:

You do not have permission to access this page

[Matt87]

Also the Username: in the tetris swf file doesn't work...

[John]

I've just signed up under your forums and it works perfectly for me - although you might want to change the text colours!

[John]

These are your forums right?

[Matt87]

hmm...

Its wierd... It says I don't have Flash but I do. I press NO to download it, but the program works... but theres bugs.

[Matt87]

BTW: Try the orange theme :)

[Funkie]

Iam still gettin the same db error:(:(might be the server slow to update the files maybe.will give it a few hours to sort itself like:)

Again topjob fella:)

[John]

Ask some mates to tell it out, see if they get the same problem...

[tractor-beam]

Works great for me! Thanks John!!

[Mr_P]

i downloaded new zip file from first post but its still stuck on Loading

[John]

The weird thing is that a flash file is just a flash file - I don't see how there can be any problems with it! :'(

I'm looking intp all of the problems, I'm going to try and have them all sorted by tonight..

Do you get the same thing on my board?

lol, weird!


Can you also through a link on that page that has the SWF file to the leadership board.

[John]

Yep, I'll put it on the todo list after everything else :)

[Mr_P]

weirdest thing is i can load the swf file in IE on its own but not though this hack and i get no errors at all

The page boots up but just says loading.

And im afraid is as far as i have got.

[John]

Mr_P - are you doing this locally or remotely?

[Mr_P]

on web

[Funkie]

Thats the properties to the box with the red cross init,hehehe

I uploaded the php file and I get this..

[John]

scott - thanks, you've confirmed what I thought. I'm working on a fix for this as we speak :)

[xxskullxx]

Great hack, even though I'm getting the same error as everyone else.

I think I'm gonna wait for the store integrated one on my live site...

[michealo]

im running 2.2.1 and everything works flawlessly

one tine problem (barely worth mentioning)

this random text appears after game over and before entering comment

IT DOES DISSAPEAR after comment is placed and page refreshes, so its a small worry
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2002/08/5.jpg

thanks JW
great work

[kenny@ecn]

See, I don't even get the names on the list...

[John]

I'll look into that as soon as I've fixed some of the more major problems - are you based in the UK mich? If so, are you with Freeserve?

[John]

kenny - I think I've come up with a solution!! Give me a minute, I'm just testing it a bit more, and then I'll reupload and send out an update :)

[michealo]

no, im in the states

but im not sure who the site admin uses for his host

sorry about that funky image size, i was forced to use mspaint *shudder*

take yer time with my error, like i said, that code dissapears once a comment is entered, and the leader board looks normal

Great, thanks.

[xxskullxx]

I get names and every thing, just it says: PHP Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in C:\site\admin\db_mysql.php on line 154 at the bottom of the page where you enter the comments. After you enter a comment and submit, it's fine....

[John]

Ok, anyone getting an error, update tetris.php with the one attached:

[John]

/me waits for loads of messages starting with "IT WORKS!!"

[xxskullxx]

"IT WORKS!"

:D
Great hack!

[John]

YES!!!

/me does a ritual dance around his house

[kenny@ecn]

Yay! That seems to have solved that problem. No error notice anymore (that I see).

Next problem. My leadership board is blank.

Can you recheck all of your templates and make sure that all 6 of them were installed correctly?

[scottct1]

It works yippie!

Everything is working for me. :) (I dont have a link from my main page for the leaderboard so when I say everything works I have not tested the direct link to the leaderboard) :D

[kenny@ecn]

Alright, looks like I forgot the "tetris_leader_bit" "bit" part when I labeled that template ;) lol...

Well, now that that works, I'm a happy man!

Now, I definetly think you should add a link on the page that has the Tetris to the Leader board...

[kira]

Woohoo! Thanks so much for your hard work, John! Can't wait to bring this live. :)

Glad it works now, sending out an update...

[xxskullxx]

How many pages do you think you'll hit with the store integrated one?

I have to commend your work, some of the best support for a hack I have seen yet.

Keep it up! :banana:

Update?

[John]

Yep, just an email to everyone telling them that the major bugs have been fixed :)

[kenny@ecn]

If I have followed the posts, do I have to go through the update?

Does the update have that link in bellow the SWF file that i requested?

Also, can we have the .FLA version?

[Schorsch]

cool, I'm the Leader at Kenny's ExoticCarForum :p :banana:

John, what about more then 10 Levels at Tetris ? and what about other flash games implementing in your hack?

Basically, if it works don't bother updating for now. I haven't added any new features.

I'll prepare a .FLA version soon :banana:

[DestyNova]

One feature I d like to add, it is small one actually. I wonder if can you add current score at getinfo template (profile)?

good job :thumbup: so far I test it and it seem work perfect on my local server.

==install== (local only since I wanna store =D)

I've still got to do the store hack first :banana:

Although this hack is purely for tetris, I'm going to release an arcade hack with many games :)

[Erwin]

Well done, John! :D

@ Schorsch:

John had to really modify the Flash source code to integrate Flash with PHP - for other Flash games to work like this, he would have to modify every single one of them manually. :)

For some reason, it works for everyone but me on my board...

http://www.cnchq.com/forum

[Erwin]

To make it so that the link

http://www.your-forums.com/forums/tetris.php

works without using the ?action=play variable...

In tetris.php:

Find:


if (!$action) {
show_nopermission();
}


Replace with:


if (!$action) {
$action="play";
}

[John]

Good point, I'll add that into the main file :)

I'm adding other things tho, don't beat me to it! (by the way, is it me or have you only had 2 hours sleep?!)

John, it would be cool if there was a stat on the leader board that says how many games were played and such...

I'm putting together a list of things to add in the next update - so far I have:

? Stats
? High score in profile
? Link to the leaderboard on the flash page


Suggestions for more?

[Matt87]

Yeah, I have the newest files... Its weird though because It says I don't have flash, but I do... If I click "NO" it'll still load but there is errors, like it doesn't say the username...

That's really weird - and that "Install Flash" thing doesn't look right either... Go to Macromedia.com, reinstall the Flash 6 plugin, and restart?

I have one =) If whoever is leading the leaderboard will get "King of Tetris" on postbit template. So if whoever beat that member's score then that title automatically goes to that member who is leading.

Sorry for sloppy grammar, I m not sure if it is clear enuff??

Brilliant!! I'm definitely adding that to the next update!

Just as a quick reminder, if you're got the hack installed please click on "Install" button - the updates ae going to come thick and fast!

[kenny@ecn]

Originally posted by JohnWarwick

Because on my site (and probably others)- I am linking to tetris through my header, and its out of place as it is- so if I have a random link to the leaderboard, it will look awkward. Also, guys want to check who is doing the best without having to play!

also it will be nice to get more than ten levels but it is up to you anyway

Try clicking anywhere on the flash and then pressing P - you might not have the browser focussed on the window...

[Schorsch]

In the template "tetris_comment" find:


color: #000000;


And change the hex to whatever you want - it happens twice, the first one controls the colour of the text in the comments box, and the second one controls the colour of the "Add Comment" text. :D

[DestyNova]

Thanks =D

[John]

If you want to place a link on the page with tetris on to the leaderboard, replace the "tetris" template with the one attached below.

[kenny@ecn]

I just used that new tetris and look at it!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO lol...

Yeah, I have to fix that. NO ONE DOWNLOAD THAT!

[-=Sniper=-]

Another great feature would be if it told you how many people are playing the game! for the Store Hack Version!

[John]

Try applying it again

[kenny@ecn]

No good, doesnt work.. ...

[kenny@ecn]

This is what it looks like with that last tetris.php

[John]

Yeah, I saw it over here - but I applied the very same template to my online forum and it works perfectly. In fact, that only change I've made is the inclusion of a link at the bottom, nothing else is changed :S

Not sure - templates don't seem to like you for some reason!

Can anyone else apply that template properly? Else I'll pull it....

[DestyNova]

I test that new tetris template, it s work and normal for me with link to leaderboard under the tetris game. It look normal for me.

[michealo]

that new tetris template works fine for me

again, im running 2.2.1 if that makes any difference

[kenny@ecn]

I don't see why it doesn't work fo rme.. It's just that link that is modified... Right?

Also did you update new verison or ? I check your first post, no .fla or any different or am I wrong?

The image path for your forums is wrong. You need to edit your default style's image path to just the folder where the images are in, not the entire URL.

[Funkie]

all my images work on all other parts of the board....why would i wanna change that

did you add the url to template or ??

really all you do is add these new templates then upload the gif to images folder.. that s it

[John]

It's because vB automatically compensates for the fact that some people are going to accidentally put in the full image path, instead of just the last part.

[Funkie]

nope all i did was to add the templates,,,,,i changed nout............

what template will i find it in.

[kenny@ecn]

Funkie - upload the attached tetris.php file to your root directory

John, I think I should be in the credit in the install.txt lol- I have posted probably more then 50 times in this topic.

Line 7 is where the file loads global.php, that means it's an issue with your forum rather than this code...

[Funkie]

[Funkie]

I linked the TETRIS game through my forum's index by creating a new Forum entitled "<a href="/forums/tetris.php?action=play&s=$session[sessionhash]">Tetris Game *NEW*</a>"

Now, I tried to do this for the leaderboard and resulted with a BLANK page...any thoughts? (using the tetris.php?action=leaderboard of course)

[John]

can you normally access the leaderboard via $bburl/tetris.php?actions=leaderboard ?

[Link14716]

w00t!
/me reads the whole thread.
/me DOWNLOADS!

[dprice]

No...I get a Permissions denied error, as if I had not "logged in". I have even logged in and then entered the URL to directly access leaderboard and still get the "not logged in error"

[John]

Do you have the latest version? 2.1, updated zip in first post

Yes,

Downloaded it about an hour ago..

[xxskullxx]

LOL, maybe.... ;)

You've done a great job, and I'm struggling to be patient. I had this version working way back around page 5 or so on my home computer :) (Seems like ages ago waiting)

But as I said before, this is a great hack...we'll worth the wait. :D

Oh yeah, forgot the bannana..... :banana:

[John]

For my piece of mind could you upload tetris.php to the root directory again? (From the latest zip) I need to be 100% sure this is a code rather than platform issue :banana:

[VietSoil]

This hack is great! Many thanks, John :)

Anyways, I found 1 big bug!. When I finish the game (I beat level 10, my score is 95,324), the game is OVER, and it doesn't go to the tetris.php?action=reg to put my score and comment in. It's just over! But if you fail to beat level 10, you will be led to the score page to enter your score and comment.

I'm just starting to do the PHP and MySQL so I don't have much experience about these. If you (or anyone else) can fix this bug, please do! :) :D. Greatly appreciate! :)

I must say this is one great hack and my users are loving it. There's just one thing, what would I need to do to make it not display "Unknown Location" in the Who's Online page? :banana:

[dprice]

Just re-downloaded and re-upped Tetris.php

Game plays fine, accessed the URL directly and still come up with:

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

As Erwin said regarding one of his hacks:

The easiest thing to do is install Firefly's Who's Online Hack, which will let you use your Admin CP to set any php file as a Who's Online location - once you've installed that, just place "tetris.php" into the file section, and place the comment "Playing Tetris".

[dprice]

Tried that one, too. Getting a blank page....

Dagommit! :(

[John]

Which vB version are you running? Could be important...

[dprice]

running 2.2.6..latest version

[John]

And another thing - when you name a forum as a link, it doesn't convert the session variable into the actual session hash...

[dprice]

I played the game and was elibible to post a comment in the Leaderboard, once I did this and hit SUBMIT, it went to the blank page.

??

[John]

yeah, there's something in the leaderboard action that your board doesn't like... I'm looking into it

[michealo]

so is this confirmed to stop at level 10 like mentioned earlier? (shamefully enough, i cant get that far, YET)

[John]

It's on the list (increasing level number) - the thing that makes it difficult is that all of the code is written in italian, so I don't know what any of it means!

[michealo]

sounds good, gonna be a few weeks anyways before i get to see that level anyways

:)

[John]

lol, same here :D

[Link14716]

Any news on when you wil release Store integration with it? *hint hint*

:banana: :D

[John]

Depends on how many people want it I suppose.... current total = 2 :(

[Link14716]

I doubt that there are only 2. Most people are waiting in the dark not saying anything.

[xxskullxx]

Yeah, what he said... :)

Weren't there a few people asking for it in the other thread (flash player)?

[dprice]

Is there another way to link to the Leaderboard?

[Link14716]

yea, templates. ;)

[Link14716]

I have a suggestion for a game for you to do. Good 'ol fashoined PONG! I a good at that! ;)

BTW, I have installed it, so.....
* Link14716 clicks install

[John]

Find it in FLA form, and I'll add it with a leaderboard system :banana:

[michealo]

yeah, pong would be awesome (especially two player)

[morrow]

Ok, so far so good. However, no matter how many times I hit the "Goto the LeaderBoard" link on the bottom of the game, it just reloads the game, again and again and again.

Check it out.

http://www.njflyfishing.com/vbulletin/tetris.php

[VietSoil]

IMHO, good translator web site is www.systransoft.com. You can even use this translator to chat with French/Italian/German/etc... chicks! :D :glasses:

My tetris works very fine by the way, only no score entering after you beat level 10 and game is over.

I will attempt to look into the codes to see what's there :cheeky:

[Schorsch]

installed now, works great!!!!! :banana:

and now we need just more than 10 levels and the hack is perfect :D

cu
Schorsch

[[t4e]Kicks]

Kicks]I just want to say...
Thanks ;)

I had a tetris hack before that worked with vbportal but everyone wanted it to save high scores and such. Awesome job

[John]

Tomorrow I'll fix the 10 level problem :)

[morrow]

I guess it's going to be a bit tough to see what my problem is being that you have to be a registered user. :) Ohh well! It's still a nice hack.

It's weird - I'd say the reason it's doing that is definitely an installation problem. Reinstall all of the templates, and overwrite tetris.php and tetris.swf - and let me know if anything's changed

[DestyNova]

[John]

P.S. Morrow - just tested it, seems to be working over your end now :)

[morrow]

very interesting. I replaced the templates then uploaded the files again, and bingo! I'm not sure which one or if both steps actually fixed the problem. That was strange?

- Thanks for your help, Nice hack!

[w596]

Super!!! Works great!

Thanks to both JohnWarwick and Erwin for this great Hack. ;)

[DanIAm]

Where can I learn how to run a SQL query? I do not know how to do this, nor what program (hopefully free) I need to use. Please help...

Thanks in advance,
Dan

[Tok Muda]

- Thanks for your help, Nice hack!

Because the code for this is now more or less perfect, if anyone has problems it's more likely to be an installation problem... Still, glad it works!

[NexDog]

John, just installed it. Everything seemed to go fine. I have the links under the Member of the Day hack. The link to play Tetris is going somewhere but not to the game. Please take a look, forum URL in my sig.

[John]

I weould strongly suggest redownloading the zip file, and overwriting tetris.php and tetris.swf - also delete all 6 tetris templates and reinsert them.

Weird things like that look like they come from an incorrect installation...

[NexDog]

Will do. :(

[John]

NexDog - it seems to be that you've got your "tetris_comment" code in the "tetris" template...

[E]

thx for this, I enjoy it, anyone ever wanna play, look at my sig :)

[NexDog]

Indeed. :)

Saw that, rectified it, it is being played now. Thanks so much for this hack. Couple of things.

How to change the default high score?
In tetris.php, how can I make the link Yellow as "here" can't be seen.

$thefooter = "<normalfont color=\"{tableheadtextcolor}\"><center>Want to play Tetris? Click <a href=\"$bburl/tetris.php?action=play&s=$session[sessionhash]\"><b>here</b></a>!</center></normalfont>";

I tried but screwed it up....

Also, on http://www.hostnexus.com/forum/tetris.php?action=leaderboard notice how the vB icon and forum title are a litle out of whack. How to nudge that in a bit? Sorry to be anal, the hack is bloody amazing. :)

[John]

Hi NexDog,

I'll sort that out in a minute - just releasing a new hack ;)

[NexDog]

Think I got it though, brb.

[NexDog]

Damn, bloody parse errors...Guess I'll wait for you, John. ;)

[John]

Glad to see it's working now NexDog :banana:

If you want to get rid of that high score, run this query:

DELETE FROM arcade WHERE scoreid=1;

[Kars10]

John this is great!!
Thanx, installation was a snap!!
My Users are in a Tetris-Battle the hole day... ;)

[NexDog]

Still need that footer link on the leaderboard yellow or something because it's invisible now....

[John]

NexDog - do you do hosting?

I'm in need of some new decent hosts :(

[NexDog]

Yea, just went through the db manually and plucked a few things out. :)

[NexDog]

John, indeed. I'm the main driving force behind HN but I can't take all the credit. Things are going very well though.

[Kars10]

One Thing, the Tetris King Addon works not for me.
I istalled the 2.1 Version of your hack, and placed the code in functions.php, and then in showthread and get a fat parse error....the mistake is in the showthread i believe...:confused:
