I didn't manage to browse through 68 pages of responses, but I figured I'd post up my experience. Had no problems with installation. Only minor tweaks:

1) the .php and .swf files in the zip were all had permissions of 600, which meant the webserver couldn't deliver them. Once I chmod'ed 'em, they all worked.

2) The path to the swf files took a bit of working out. Maybe the admin description should indicate what the path is relative to. Also, starting a path with / typically means its coming off the root directory, which these clearly are not.

Very minor issues, but all else seems to be working well. Thanks for the great hack.

YOU ARE EXACTLY CORRECT SIR!!! this was my problem as well. i am still having a problem though. it's not showing up on my admin panel. everything works fine. the games work, the high scores are done correctly, but the admin part isn't showing up on my cp? any suggestions????

nm, i got it. it seems i didnt edit the admin/index.php. i know i did but i guess it didn't save or something. it works fine now. you need to put your graphics in your games folder, and your game folder in your root directory. and chmod all the php files you added.

Well, you could try to reverse the Arcade Pass hack... :rolleyes:

But honestly, I think it's stupid to award cash for high scores... Maybe it could be like a lottery... The top 3 players from each game at the end of the week would get their names into a draw, and whatever name is randomly picked wins a cash prize! :D

It would be cool, but could also get hard to code. Anyone that's interested in this plan, PM me and we can discuss how we'll start.

I see. well we wanted to do it the coding way so we could be lazy, lol. The lottery idea was a fallback plan and I guess we'll do it that way.

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.

i wasn't cheating i was playing nicely when in level 2 i got 5000 score........and that came up.

What's the deal with this and how can I fix this??

Hi guys,

I am back. Didn't mean to be away for so long but life has been kicking my ass lately. I haven't just been ignoring vb.org; ask the users of my own forums, they are full of complaints for me as well.

New bugfix version is being tested. Look for it soon.

If I use IE, scores post just fine, and it sends the user to the proper URL after the game finishes:

http://pebkac.trippy.org/forums/vbproarcade.php

However, when I use mozilla (latest version and latest flash), it forwards instead to:

http://pebkac.trippy.org/vbproarcade.php

which doesn't exist. Is this back to browser compatibility? Is this what the 'Known Bugs' is referring to?

Anyways, wonderful hack. I just use IE when I'm playing the games, and all is well.

This has to do with how mozilla does not handle POST data correctly from Flash's ActionScript.

What is happening is that the forum gives control to the Flash game, the user plays, and then the Flash game returns control to the forum. This means that the Flash game has to know where to redirect to in order to keep the script going.

I haven't been able to get Flash to communicate the URL correctly with Mozilla-based browsers. If anybody knows a solution to this, I am happy to hear it.

Ditto. It effects netscape and IE on Macs
