v3 Arcade - Game Modification Guide & Releases

[John]

How v3 Games Work

v3 Arcade games are a little different to those in the original Arcade and futureal's proArcade.

Instead of a simple getURL which sends all of the variables to the next page, the v3 Arcade uses a completely different system - a series of sendAndLoad events where data is sent and received between the Flash file and vBulletin. As a result, converting games for the v3 Arcade is a little more complicated.

To get games working with the v3 Arcade, a piece of code needs to be inserted which will run on every frame of the Flash movie. (I.e. one looped movieclip which is active across all frames.) A variable also needs to be set to tell the v3 Arcade code when to end the game.

EDIT: INSTRUCTIONS UPDATED TO MAKE THE PROCESS A LOT EASIER!

Converting Games

Converting a game is quite simple, providing you have some basic knowledge of Flash.

Step 1.
Create a blank movie clip, containing two keyframes.

Step 2.
On frame 1 of this blank movieclip, insert this code (not forgetting to change the gamename value to something unique - THIS PRESUMES THAT _root.score CONTAINS THE SCORE VALUE!):

// HERE THE ARCADE SESSION IS INITIATED
// DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE GAMENAME VALUE!
if (this.sessionstarted != 1) {
this.arcade = new LoadVars();
this.sessionvars = new LoadVars();
this.arcade.gamename = "towerball";
this.arcade.sessdo = "sessionstart";
this.arcade.sendAndLoad("arcade.php", sessionvars, "POST");
this.sessionstarted = 1;
}

// IF GAMEOVER=1, SUBMIT THE SCORE AND REDIRECT THE PAGE
if (_root.gameover == 1) {
if ((this.askpermission != 1) && (this.sessionvars.connStatus == 1)) {
this.prequestvars = new LoadVars();
this.pranswer = new LoadVars();
this.prequestvars.gametime = this.sessionvars.gametime;
this.prequestvars.fakekey = this.sessionvars.initbar;
if (_root.score == 0) {
this.prequestvars.score = -1;
} else {
this.prequestvars.score = _root.score;
}
this.prequestvars.id = this.sessionvars.lastid;
this.prequestvars.sessdo = "permrequest";
this.prequestvars.note = (this.prequestvars.id*this.prequestvars.score*this .prequestvars.fakekey);
this.prequestvars.sendAndLoad("./arcade.php", this.pranswer, "POST");
this.askpermission = 1;
}
if ((this.pranswer.validate == 1) && (this.finalsent != 1)) {
this.burnscore = new LoadVars();
this.burnscore.microone = this.pranswer.microone;
this.burnscore.gametime = this.prequestvars.gametime;
this.burnscore.id = this.prequestvars.id;
if (_root.score == 0) {
this.burnscore.noscore = 1;
}
this.burnscore.sessdo = "burn";
this.burnscore.send("./arcade.php", "_self", "POST");
this.finalsent = 1;
}
}

Step 3.
Now, you need to let the game know when to finish the game and redirect the page. This is done by the setting of a new variable, "gameover". When _root.gameover==1, the game will end.

Find the frame of the "Game Over" page, and add this actionscript to the frame:
_root.gameover=1;
Save, and export the SWF movie to the appropriate place. :)

Releasing Games

When releasing a game, please try to stick to the same format as the other games provided below. (I.e. with the installation script.) It should be fairly easy to figure out what goes where. :) Try to release all games in this thread!

Cheers for the guide :)

[KevinUK]

John,

Neave's PacMan doesn't open in Flash - I get "unexpected file format" (even though it's .fla).

Kevin

[NuclioN]

The format is flash MX when it won't open with flash 5. You need to install flash MX to open it.

[NuclioN]

The easiest way of doing this is to drag the new movieclip onto the last frame which the game will end on. (I.e. the game over screen.) An alternative is to create a new scene, and name it "Submit". On frame 1, include your new movieclip. In the main game, find the code which signifies the end of a game - and add:
Code:
gotoAndStop("Submit",1);

Is it possible (i shall test it also) to add an extra frame on the end of the game with a stopframe in it. On this frame is not a movieclip but a frameaction that is called when you add in the gameover section: GotoAndStop frame **. where the script is executed?

[John]

You can do whatever you like, as long as the first part of the code is at the beginning and the looping step 2 appears at the end of the game.

[Dark Jim]

Thanks for the game NuclioN, it's great. Could you convert some of the games that are in the vBProArcade games thread too?

[BillaBongUSA]

Thanks for the tutorial, John. I think I'll go through the other thread and try to convert some games that people have requested.

[Littlebit]

Hey John,
Why did the sound volumes get weird with curveball?

[John]

Hey John,
Why did the sound volumes get weird with curveball?

No idea, but they did. I can't afford to spend all day trying to fix them. :(

[John]

New Game: Alien Clones

Instructions in zip. Thanks to miniclip.com for this one...

[InSaNeOnE]

Towerball game. Tnx to John for the assistance by adding the code :)

Install the game in the same way you installed the others, so towerball.game.php in the admin dir and run it from there. Both images in images/arcade and the swf in the games dir.


Worked perfectly, Huge thanks for the new game :)


.. Will be installing the new game from John shortly also.



A Huge thanks for the new games, if any of the members on my forum make any (I am usless at flash) I will be sure to post them.

[MaDCaT75]

what about games like chopper challenge? How do we put in an extra thingie or whatever that gives us the option to play again or submit the score?

[eXtremeTim]

Okay you flash wizards lets get some games converted. My users are dying for loads of new games.

[MaDCaT75]

Yes and I still want a submit button for copter.

[eXtremeTim]

I have a fealing your not getting one for a while :(

[MaDCaT75]

If someone would tell me how to put one in then I'd shut the hell up about it already ffs.

[eXtremeTim]

I would if i knew how.

[John]

If someone would tell me how to put one in then I'd shut the hell up about it already ffs.

I have a problem where I tend to ignore people who think they can get what they want by constantly whining and complaining. Nothing personal, just a habit.

[BillaBongUSA]

If someone would tell me how to put one in then I'd shut the hell up about it already ffs.

I have a feeling that even if someone told you, you wouldn't know how to do it.

I don't know how this game is structured, but it seems like all you'd have to do is make the game direct you to a frame with a stop action on it that has buttons for submitting your score or restarting, rather than having it direct you to a game over frame whenever you crash. The submit button would direct you to the original game over screen, which would submit your score, and the restart button would just send you to frame one of the movie. But it's hard to say without having seen the FLA.

[MaDCaT75]

I have a feeling that even if someone told you, you wouldn't know how to do it.


I appreciate people telling me I'm stupid.

[John]

BillaBongUSA is right, or using the code in the first post you can simple set the gameover variable to equal 1 on (release).

[BillaBongUSA]

That's good, because I enjoy calling people stupid.

[MaDCaT75]

That's good, because I enjoy calling people stupid.
go to hell.

[BillaBongUSA]

Okay.

[MindTrix]

Stop the arguments please.

[NuclioN]

It's not easy and it is sometimes timeconsuming work. I can't test the games on my pc so i have to upload them, install them and if they don't work i have to start all over again. Confusing part is the _root.score = _root.var.score; where var is the name of the scorevariable. The score could be launched from different gamelevels and without a fla it becomes a hell of a task to find the right scorevariable.

If the scorevariable is 'points' is this the correct first line? : _root.score = points;

[AutomatikStudio]

What the hades does callling people stupid and people telling others to go to hell have to do with v3 Arcade? Absolutely nothing. Please take pointless bickering elsewhere.

[John]

Sorry Nuclion, you've lost me. Points? What game are you talking about? Or do you just mean in general?

[MaDCaT75]

Nuclion can you please PM me!!!

[NuclioN]

Sorry Nuclion, you've lost me. Points? What game are you talking about? Or do you just mean in general?

I mean in general. :) I've tried to make a _root.score = money; for the camelrace game but i haven't test it because it needs a button.

[Nam]

Thanks both NuclioN and John for 2 new games, they're really great.

[John]

NuclioN, just got battleships... how do you score something like that?

[eXtremeTim]

How about so many points for each ship and like some kinda time bonus for each ship sunken and take away so many points for each hit on there ship and maybe like a negative bonus for each ship the enemy sinks based on time taken. That should allow for alot of variation in score and stuff.

[Nam]

Is there anyway to make this PHP blackjack game? It's php, not flash.

http://www.gerradroberts.com/blackjack

[NuclioN]

I have some realy great blackjack games that i want to share. If i can't modify it i'm sure John can do it. :)

[eXtremeTim]

Im looking forward to it nuclion. :) I might try and edit a few games myself. Would somebody be willing to help me?

[MaDCaT75]

Everyone's too busy to help around here. I've asked for help a dozen times and nobody will.

[John]

Everyone's too busy to help around here. I've asked for help a dozen times and nobody will.

*sigh*.... will you ever drop it?

[tomp]

MaDCaT75, give people a break, alot of people active in this topic will be trying to get new games out so people like you can put them on your site

[eXtremeTim]

Im about to take my first stab at this. Can somebody make some images for this game.

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/Full_Game_Source/Jewels-Ron_Nort-8193/index.php?chk=no

If you could and post them shorty that would be great :)

Im about to open the game up right now :) Wish me luck everybody.

[eXtremeTim]

Im trying todo this hope im doing it right.

[tomp]

images you requested are attatched

[eXtremeTim]

I starting to wonder if this game can be lost :-/ I just played for like 10 minutes and didnt find a way to lose even when trying.

[tomp]

hahaha i dont tihnk it can, you finished converting it so it can be used on vb3 arcade?

[NuclioN]

No...that game will go on forever. I have a diamonds game that is working with a 5 minutes timelock..when the time is up the score is set and this score is based on connecting lines of diamonds and so you have a very very large playingground for different outcomes. :) I will send John all the games i have to modify because it's realy frustrating to guess where to add code in a decompiler.

[eXtremeTim]

Screw it got to find a different game.

[tomp]

cant wait to get some new games on my forum :D.....ive got all the ones that have been converted that i know of

[eXtremeTim]

nvm

[MaDCaT75]

Excuse me for being frustrated!

[eXtremeTim]

okay i need images for this game. Im working on it now. This one does end :) So no problems with that this time.

[tomp]

just use the images i posted like 20 mins ago

[NuclioN]

John is it possible to add this: var score = _root.score;
and then this: scorevariable = score;

where in this case 'score' is the method that is used so it can be 'points' or 'time' or 'money' etc.?

[eXtremeTim]

Hmm im having a little bit of trouble with this one finding the game over frame :(. If somebody could port the kill kenny game that i posted a link to a minute ago and then let me see the fla file so i can see how they did it i would be greatful. This is my first day working with flash so want to makesure im doing this correctly.

[eXtremeTim]

<a href="http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/Full_Game_Source/Pong_Gam-miCky-5228/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...5228/index.php</a>

Can we get some images for this please. Im working on porting this one right now. I am going to have it submit score on win and lose.

I give up for now. Can somebody modify this game as well and send me the fla file so i can see where i messed up at.

[zeeg99]

Thought this was a good addition I found on another thread

http://www.miniclip.com/Downloads.htm

[Logician]

I've got user complaints from this thread and I agree that complainers has a point. Please refrain from flaming. Feel free to use vbulletin's very nice feature of "ignore user", if you cant stand someone particular here. Your efforts to keep the thread on topic is appreciated. Thank you.

[Oblivion Knight]

Don't give up on Jewels, I love that game.!
It ends when there aren't any moves available, which often is around the 25,000 point mark.

Having said that, with ProArcade my current high score is on the 96,000 point mark.

[eXtremeTim]

Oh well i still need so see an example fla file. I know im getting close but im messing up somewhere.

[John]

eXtremeTim, email the FLA to john[at]eovie.co.uk and I'll take a look. :)

[eXtremeTim]

I deleted it to start over last night but never got around to starting over. Im sure i can do it if i see an fla file already done. Im pretty good and seing then doing.

[Xyphen]

Where can I get some .fla files so I can get started on the games?? :(

[zeeg99]

John, did you have to contact miniclip.com to get an fla with protections removed for modifying?

The two I downloaded won't open in Flash MX, just giving me an error about protected content =/

[Littlebit]

Hello John,
I just wanted to say thanks again for sharing something that I haven't the knowledge to do so myself. My users are enjoying it and are very appreciative of the mozilla and Mac support. Thanks,also, to you and everyone else that's cranking out the games! :)

[Rampag33]

Anyone has a screen shot of towerball for me?

[Littlebit]

Anyone has a screen shot of towerball for me? Hey Rampage, here's one screen shot below.

I wanted to add a little something too after reading through the posts... I have a very small board with only some 7 or so, not so video game savvy people, who enjoy interacting with the arcade. I'm now starting to understand a little about MadCat's desperation to learn how to add a submit button to that one helicopter game after seeing the pages apon pages of crashing low scores developed at a rapid rate just with my little handful of users.
I do, however, also understand that beggars should never be choosers!....and I think that what (I think I read) you are working on in the way of pruning lowest scores in the future will remedy the issue all together. Just a little opinion to throw out. :rolleyes:

[Alien]

I assume we have permission from the author to use the game above?

http://www.superdudes.net/games/

I believe they own it? Just looking for confirmation they we had permission to use it and edit the .fla as one of my users brought this question up.

NuclioN suppied it, he'd know. I presume that he checked it over.

[AutomatikStudio]

Would this thread be the place to post links to .FLA files for people to modify or do we still need to e-mail John?

[eXtremeTim]

id say post them here since others can now modify them as well.

New Game: Penguin Bashing

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of the Arcade, v1.01. Simply download the new zip and overwrite the files. :)

[sonic3d]

i was waiting for this game. woohoo

[Alien]

This game is awesome, been playing it for a week and so happy it came out for the arcade...

Bug found with Penguin Bashing game, however!

If you have a negative score (say, -563) it will not submit.. Won't submit a "0" score either. Maybe this is by design (which I don't mind whatsoever!) however if you click 'try again' after your bad score and get a GREAT score that is POSITIVE it will STILL not let you submit the score... Did I find something, or do I have gremlins? :D

i just did that and it worked for me. :P
i had a -563 and when i submitted it i got a zero.
then i had -563 and tried agian, i got a positive and i submitted and it worked.

Any tricks to get him to go furthurer?

[AutomatikStudio]

This game was huge popular on my old arcade. It would nice if somebody could modify it. It would defenitely need a "submit" button. Anywho:

[mini2]

What's the chances of someone smarter than I making Centipede?

[zeeg99]

Yes, Yes, I'm a nub with flash, what I don't understand is "Create a new movie"...

Do I combine it with the other one? :)

I think i figured it out except I don't get what you're saying there... am I supposed to do something after inserting blah into clip 1..

[BillaBongUSA]

The instructions say to "Create a new movie clip," which you can do by going to Insert >> New Symbol. Then, to my understanding, you just create a new layer for it in Scene 1 (or whatever it's titled), and make sure that it spans across the entire movie.

Is a hack needed? Set up a new usergroup and use promotions to promote people to that usergroup once they have made a certain amount of posts, then just set the permissions of the standard registered usergroup so that it cant play the arcade

[Hialls]

Any chance anyone could release defend the castle?????

[vbmechanic]

Excellent hack, I've installed in on a few different sites and it works flawlessly.

Why? That's way too much work. I don't wanna manually promote people all the time, it's pointless. A simple hack (which is apparently already in the works) saves me the time of promoting people. Unless, what you're talking about is automated.

I agree the Helicopter game and Bashing Penquins are the best examples of submit control. Especially the helicopter game. You can keep play for hours and then just submit the high score. Penquin doesn't remember your high score but atleast it still has the submit button.

[Oni no Densetsu]

How long does it take to convert a flash game to be playable in the vB3 arcade, out of curiousity?

[NuclioN]

I've seen multiple variations of catching the score in the sourcecode of the games and my guess is that this is an enormous barrier to produce games for this hack. It looks this requires advanced scripting skills.

[BillaBongUSA]

I'm having a bunch of requests for Flash Flash Revolution ... I can't find an FLA for it, does anyone happen to have a vbArcade version of FFR or something similar?

Well, in the past, Synthlight has always been very protective of the source of Flash Flash Revolution. I think the only way that we'd see FFR for v3Arcade is if someone sent him instructions on how to modify the .FLA and asked him to release it him to release it himself, but even that seems unlikely.

JoeIt's not as easy as editing the .swf file, you need the source code - .fla file - to modify it for use with the Arcade. Macromedia Flash MX is generally the software you would use to do this, but I can't think of the license fee off the top of my head.

I just checked, looks like $500 US.

Thanks for the info.

[NuclioN]

John i think the tutorial on page 1 needs to be updated since there are more things to look for in various games if you want to 'catch' the score. Is it possible to give a general guideline where to look for and how to write these first commands for the score?

[John]

Sorry, I'm not feeling too well at the moment - taking a day or two off.

Will get back to work on this when I'm feeling a bit better.

Guys, I really suck at this, im trying hard to get a Game off flashkit going, I think it'll be good too

If someone can help, irc.gamesnet.net #sieged please =)

[Rampag33]

Yeah that's the only thing missing since the other arcade for vb2. Just need more games. So far all the games have been great.

[zeeg99]

W00t, i got one, gonna post in a second!

[zeeg99]

This was taken from flashkit.com =)

This is my first one, and I did a Submit button since I was unable to get it to work right otherwise =)

P.S.

Someone teach me how to do it without a Submit button =)

You can try out the game here: http://forums.sieged.net/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=21 (demo/demo)

Updated 1-28 4:18am (CST)

It now has a few fixes, when you gain levels, your score increases faster and the next level takes %50 more to reach, the game shouldn't end now (unless you die), and the space ships now show correctly.

I'll try to get it so each level speeds up the amount of space ships/how fast they go, I'm new to flash so gimme time =)

I also want to add different weapons for it.

[zeeg99]

If someone knows flash, I want to improve Mars Rover, by making it for each level, it throws more of those balls down faster, and you get more points for each kill at higher levels

Also if you noticed, they seem to appear in the middle of the screen sometimes, not sure how to fix this as I dont know flash

Ok, I've made the score increase per level, removed the "Boss" thing, and I fixed the aliens crafts not showing up right away (had to remove thing in bg)..

I'm working on making it shoot the balls faster per level :P

Cool new game zeeg99 :)
I tried doing this for ProArcade a while back, but failed miserably.

It would seem that you missed something in the code though if it's not tracking the game duartion like eXtremeTim says.. Hopefully this issue can be fixed. Thanks for sharing.

[Detomah]

Yeah I noticed that. :/

It could do with being changed so that it does something along the lines of taking the points from 10 shots that go to make up the overall score, then it auto submits that score. That way it would make it much more difficult to get everyone getting the maximum score as virtually nobody would get 3235 ten times on the trot. :)

I tried opening a .swf file at miniclip.com that was available for download into my Flash MX program. But I says that I cannot open a protected movie file or whatever. Can someone help?

It has to be in the .fla format to edit the game if I read right, that's what makes it so difficult to find a load of new games, as most game makers want you to pay for the privledge of using and editing their games. :)

[Oni no Densetsu]

Darn. Is there a way to convert the games or a place that someone can suggest where .fla games are available for download? :D

[NuclioN]

Miniclip games are ok and copyright protected but there are many other good games with no copyright claim because the author never thought it could be opened and used in this way. If they aren't respond to mail with questions about the use on other places then i'm sorry but then the game will be in the arcade if i can modify it. These games aren't commercial so the author has no financial loss if some forums have them to play with. I understand that the towerball game will have claims that it is owned by *** but the swf is on the web and is shared with no awareness about copyright.

[BillaBongUSA]

New game: Disco Racer

Installation
Well... You know the drill...

Okay, this game doesn't correctly record the amount of time that was spent playing, and I know why, but I'm having trouble with thinking of a way of correcting it. Anyway, if I ever get it fixed, I'll let you know and upload a new .SWF.

[Edit: Oh, and here's a screenshot.]
[Edit: Okay, the SWF's been fixed.]
[Edit: 1/29/04, 11:19 CST: Okay, fixed the problem with the wrenches.]

[Amzadi]

Personally, I'm just happy seeing new games being added on a regular basis.
Thanks!

[BillaBongUSA]

No problem. :D

Okay, I just fixed the time problem, so if anyone else has downloaded it, you can re-download the zip and replace the SWF if you want to.

[John]

Thanks for the release BillaBongUSA - installed on www.v3arcade.com and working fine. :)

[futureal]

Detomah: I could probably make that change to the Penguin game, but I'm not sure where to find the source. If someone has it, by all means let me know. I am hesistant to decompile anything and I can't find the original authors for it.

[Amzadi]

John, I've been trying to catch up by reading the posts one by one. Did you say you were going to make it so only certain groups could access the Arcade or is it already in the zip?

[BillaBongUSA]

New game: Joust

Installation
Well... You know the drill...

It's kinda crappy, but it's Joust nonetheless. As you can see in the screenshot, this game doesn't really fit in the table of the default style, but the game doesn't look good at sizes smaller than that due to the scanline effect that it's got.

[BillaBongUSA]

John, I've been trying to catch up by reading the posts one by one. Did you say you were going to make it so only certain groups could access the Arcade or is it already in the zip?

Yep, allowing access to certain user groups is already a feature in v3 Arcade. :)

Thanks for the quick reponse BillaBongUSA. I was reading so much of the old stuff, my eyes were starting to cross.

[Oni no Densetsu]

One of my members brought this up, the wrenches in Disco Racer do not calculate any points at all. Can someone fix this?

[BillaBongUSA]

Ah, found the problem... The game was coded by someone who spoke German, so some of the words in the code had strange characters in them. Anyway, I updated the SWF in the zip again, the wrenches should now add to your score.

[corsacrazy]

instead of just a next button mate on disco racer how about play again and a next button... ps i see the race bit but not much disco LOL

[Detomah]

instead of just a next button mate on disco racer how about play again and a next button... ps i see the race bit but not much disco LOL

Was going to mention this. :) In Disco racer, there is a couple of things that i'd like to possibly get added if the know how is there.: ) Would it be possible to make the game something like 3 or 5 mins long instead of 1, it'd make it so much more playable. also as corsa mentioned is there any chance to add a play again button as it's an awfully long winded process to start again if you crash into the first car you see. I was going to mention the wrentchs, but already dealt with. :)

futureal - I'm not sure who actually added the Penguin game in the first place to be honest, but i'll try and track them down and get them to pass the .fla file onto you so it can be improved. :)

FAO Mars Rover Editor - That game has some serious potential, I found a couple of problems with it though, after getting to lvl 10 I found the speed of the incoming missile things had still not got any quicker (think you already knew of that one), I also found that when the game ended, you get to submit your score, but it then cam up on screen that you did not have permission to add the score, so in the high score table it looked like nobody had ever played, but if you looed at the high score table on the game over screen you saw lots of people had played, so I presume it's a slight bug with the score submission system in that game.

Does anyone have the .fla file for Maeda path, I want to use that game but there is no point with it having such a huge bug in it. Basically all you have to do is click on the arrow at the start of the level, then leave the play area, then click on the end of level arrow to complete each level, which is basically no fun at all and it kind of takes the challange out of it. So if anyone has the .fla for it i'll have a go at doing that one. :)

[Oni no Densetsu]

I'm still confused on how to put in keyframes and add the stuff since I've been trying to work on Funky Pong.

Also, shouldn't the first post of this thread be update with the new games? :P

[Oblivion Knight]

Joust is severly buggy, and always has been..
The game randomly restarts itself and there are several graphical problems.. It's really not worth the effort.. ;)

[BillaBongUSA]

I dunno, Joust works fine for me except for the fact that the bird sometimes gets stuck when you try to wrap around from the top left corner to the top right corner.

Oh, and I've looked at all of the suggestions for Disco Racer, and I'll work on them in a little while. But I dunno, one minute already seems like a long time to play it, but if anyone else wants the time to be extended, I guess I can change it.

[Oni no Densetsu]

Can someone help me? I'm trying to convert the game Funky Pong for v3 Arcade. But the instructions on the first page confuse me, sadly enough. So I took a screenshot of the open document and was wondering if someone could show me where to put the coding show in the first post of this thread?

[John]

Man, I just wanted help on what to do. Not for you to do it for me. :P

There's no set rule on where to add the code for games to work in the v3 Arcade. You need to know Flash in order to do it... sometimes entire games are in their own submovies, or others have more difficult ways of defining whether or not the game is over.

It's usually different for every game.

[NuclioN]

I realy don't know what to do now. I have 30 + topgames..poker, pinball, blackjack, slots, etc. and all of them worked in the arcade. Some have buttons at the right spot so the gameover point of the the game is set already and if they don't have a button the code to launch the score is present (code for the futureal way of setting the score). Some games i can't share because there is no permission untill this day from the author to use them.

With my decompilers i can do a lot but in this arcade they seem useless. It's because the score must span the entire game in a movieclip and that meens gameover so far. If there is a workaround for this then i can go back to work. Altough i want to share every game it will require the skills and time of the members who have the right decompiler to modify the games. As i said...the points in the games are already there so it's just: add 1 layer with 1 movieclip and add the scorelines/gameovercode to the present 'old' futureal code.

I will upload the games and PM/mail John and maybe another skilled flashman with the right decompiler when the games are available. I hope we can modify every one of them. They are awesome.

[SnowBot]

why not send the files to John, im sure he would do the games for you.

$100 is not that much when you think of how handy the software would be for people like myself that run a number of sites. incase the fla's are every lost to any of them i be able to get them back from the swf's on the site servers.

Madcat will not use the original because it is not coloured, and is different. Also she has offered money for someone to do it if you go look ;) And finally, Madcat if its eating up your BW because of your skin, thats got nothing to do with the arcade, its a risk you take for having a heavily graphic'd skin

Mindtrix is right. Graphical skins kill bandwidth fast. Its would be better just to use some simple html or javascript effects if you can.

I am not sure if this is the right spot to place this ... but I went to www.Mugglenet.com and noticed they had a bunch of flash games! I emailed them asking them if I could use them and I got this email back ....

Yes you may use them.

So the games that are possible can you guys get them to work with the arcade? I would want them due to my forum is a Harry Potter forum ... thanks! If I don't post this here where do I post them?

no it's not possible to use them because we need the .fla files in order to edit them.

[Lost Prophesy]

Well ... where would i get them, I mean if I opened up the swf files in flash could i get it from that, or would the original creator have to have them?

Original creator. They would have to supply you with the .FLA. Please read other posts in this thread as this issue has been covered NUMEROUS times.

Monkey Lander is a fun game however its another flash game that suffers from the inevitable 'ending' theres only 10 levels and then it ends. While there will probably never be a Absolute TOP high score because teh Fuel gage determines points as well but its hard to play a game that will end up having the leader being the fastest at it. Even if everyone gets ALL the fruit.

There is a pretty good game available at http://www.coldtomatoes.com/games/juggler/

I'm not sure where the .fla is though :(

One of the cool places you can challenge another player is to click on their name if they have a high score in the Arcade.

that airfox game as a real bad bug in in when they play it, that being is you crash into a other ship the title screen comes up with everything flying over it.
