The second is Star Wars Shooter...

...files attached again.

Any news on frogger and Donkey kong or other cool games like that?

A site I go to has frogger in their arcade but not a high score thingy for it....how would i do that if it's not possible to have a high score.

Any help would be good 8-)

Hi,
I'm having my windows users say that they are getting a blank white playing screen instead of the game once they click on the link to play asteroids. It's my first time adding a game, does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
On macs it loads and you can play asteroids no problem (of course they have other redirect issues when any game ends). But I thought it was weird that its just not showing up for PC users.
:ermm:

X-Ball is ok... But to me, it looks like a version of Breakthru that was never completed. I think I'll leave this one alone... Some of my members have been requesting games like Pong and Centepede... Anyone wanna try to make either of these compatable? I'd really apreciate it.

Oh, and a modified version of Hexxagon would be nice, where if you win, you keep playing games against the computer until you lose. So if I beat the computer, I get to play another game, and another, until my winning streak is put to an end. Then, your total score would get sent to the scoreboard. I'll take a look at the FLA file later and see if I can make that change.

I'd be willing to try. Find me the .fla file and i'll see what i can do.

make sure you've got the right path to the .swf file.

I attempted to modify Star Wars Shooter to make it work with vbArcade. I couldn't even get the .fla to open in Flash. I kept getting a error.

It opens with Flash MX ok. Unfortunatly I don't have the skillset to do the work on the high score stuff. :(

Hi Digital,
I noticed people are playing now without a hitch...I had copy and pasted some html code from one of these old posts and I believe it was one of the few chunks of html code that was a bit different...I deleted it and added html code from one of my other games and it seemed fix it. It was weird because it loaded for mac users though :confused:
oh well, all's better. thank you for replying :)

The amount of games to share for the arcade would improve dramaticly if someone adds a step by step tutorial on how to search the scorevariable and how to implement the final code.
I saw that the code is pretty regular in all the games.

Also, i see that it's a problem for a couple of people to share their new games. That can create a 'if you don't share, i will not share' environment.

Can we make a request that when someone releases a new game, they also include the MySQL query to run, since some people can't manually install the games due to safe mode being on and image issues?

atm i'm working on making the two games Hlodder posted(Post 359 & 340) compatible with the arcade.

Digital,

This is great news... :D ...just wish I had the skillset to do them!

Cheers.

Either you know how to modify flash well or you don't. I personally don't know how to modify flash, but my buddy that does knew instantly what the directions for modifying games meant.

What info would I have to enter for these 2 games?

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...-436/index.php

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...5654/index.php

...and if you can't do a high score board thingy for it, how would I add it anyway so users can play but just not get high scores.

And also how would I add any of the games on....

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=42196

...there?

Thanks for anyone who can help

you would have to add:

// set up vars to return
vpaver = "100B2";
scorevariable = score;
action = "gameover";
game = gamename;
score_loc = location + "/proarcade.php";

// this needs to match the Admin CP value
// and should be between 0 and 31
hashoffset = 5;

// do security shuffle to return newhash
subhash1 = gamehash.substr(0,hashoffset);
subhash2 = gamehash.substr(hashoffset);
newhash = subhash2.concat(subhash1);

// redirect back to vbProArcade
getURL (score_loc, "_self", "POST");

some where on the Action Layer. but you need to find the score variable first. i'm also working on modifying frogger, but so far no luck.

I have attempted Kill Kenny, however, it redirected to /proarcade.php instead of /forums/proarcade.php and when I got it to redirect properly, it gave me an "Invalid Game Specified" error.

I have modified, and am running, the Star Wars: TIE Fighter game... Give me a couple minutes to get it together, and I'll post it up here.

make sure you don't change this bit of code:

// set up vars to return
vpaver = "100B2";
scorevariable = score;
action = "gameover";
game = gamename;
score_loc = location + "/proarcade.php";

// this needs to match the Admin CP value
// and should be between 0 and 31
hashoffset = 5;

// do security shuffle to return newhash
subhash1 = gamehash.substr(0,hashoffset);
subhash2 = gamehash.substr(hashoffset);
newhash = subhash2.concat(subhash1);

// redirect back to vbProArcade
getURL (score_loc, "_self", "POST");

This is the Star Wars Shooter that was submitted earler, it was easy to fix up.

Remember, you have to QUOTE the SQL Query to get a copy of it that will work.

great job dstruct2k! :D
Has anyone found a hexxagon.fla yet?

I have been unable to fix the problem for about two weeks now. I left a post in the arcade thread, but got no reply.

After finishing any game instead of allowing me to enter in a comment it goe to this page: http://proarcade.php/ which of course doesn't exist. Does anybody have a suggestion that may lead me in the right direction. I haven't altered proarcade.php in any way.

this has happened to me. attach the .fla to your post and i'll take a look at it. is this happening to every game?

yes it is happening to every game and just started out the blue. That's why i don't think it's a problem with the .fla . I never republished any games in flash. I am lost. :(

did you use run a query to create the games or used the admin CP?

I used the admin CP each time. I was running it and adding games fine. then this just popped up. I thought maybe another hack i added changed something, but I have never tampered with proarcade.php or the templates.

double check the queries in the arcadegames table, make sure they're correct.

ok. I am new to phpadmin. what should i look for? you r help is appreciated :)

okay, once you login into your database find arcadegames on the left side menu. then click on the tab that says Browse.
All of your games should be listed here. make sure all the codes is correct. my guess is somethings wrong with the .swf, try reuploading the .swf files again.

Her is an image for pong if anybody wants to use. Thanks for the new game DigitalD!

Everything looks good in my database. I just uploaded your pong and it gives me the same problem.

GREAT JOB ON THE PONG!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO :cool:

my friend has Flash MX and hes not sure on how to exactly use it, like somebody posted before, if somebody could maybe direct people in the right direction insted of staying, put this in there, than i think that there could be 100x more games than the 11 that ive seen released, or maybe theres more, but i would love for somebody to maybe write a tutorial on exactly where to look maybe, or i dunno maybe im just speaking dumb...

This just isn't true... See that game I released a page back? That was the first time I had ever even seen the inside of a Flash game. But it took me about 5 minutes to make it work. Trust me, it's not hard. If someone can direct me towards more good FLA files, I'll modify them! :D

Oh, and this Pong game needs to be re-built for higher resolution screens. (1024x768 and higher) I can barely see the menu! I'm modifying it now.

Here's a modified Pong game, and the HTML code for it needs to be modified too. In the "Modify Games" part of the control panel, change the HTML code to:

Code:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="275">

Ok, thanks for the new Pong game!!!:)
@ dstruct2k, is it right that when i am loosing against the computer i can?t submit my score?? Or is this a bug?

Thanks Kars :)

We need details. What's the game hash offset and the score return variable?
