The thing is, you ask me for a submit button - and as soon as I add it, someone else will ask me to remove it because it makes challenges unfair!

Did the proArcade version have a submit button? (Just curious)

yabba, I think those two errors you reported were already fixed - you just need to update to the last arcade.php in the latest zip file.

Yes this is why I ask for a submit button... the "seethru.co.uk" button was replaced with "submit score". I think everyone would like this instead of having it re-direct to the score page right away.... because I believe the score page would be filled with 5 pages in a day!

And I'm sorry that I didnt request a submit button.... I thought you already knew that the vbproarcade one had one already :confused:

Cause its the proarcade? Not this arcade.

hey John... If you read your .game.php file then you can see ur License ID. You might want to take that off. Some sites only require a license ID just to use.

John	01-21-2004 09:32 PM

badboy1, I thought they needed the customer number?

badboy1

01-21-2004 09:34 PM

Maybe. Not sure tho. I would just make sure to take off the # and see if it works on a test file.... if it doesn't then keep it on. But i see no reason why Vbulletin.com would need the Customer # for a hack they dont support.

i was browsing some sites, and i found some freeware .fla games. i thought i might upload them here, dont remember what they are, but its like a racing and solitaire, and others. i remember you saying to upload .fla games, so i thought i would contribrute :cool:

sorry if im not allowed to do this :nervous:

01-21-2004 10:24 PM

Hey John, could you add these games too: http://www.thegaminguniverse.com/index.php?page=Arcade. I took those from miniclip.com and added them until I installed your hack. No source code but since you added the other miniclip game...

Shad	01-21-2004 10:51 PM

I would kill to get Galaga on this, but can't even dig up a flash version of it let alone a .fla.

You almost had your guy in Leeds whacked, but that is java not flash :)

Skan0r - Helicopter Champion! - 3458 - 366 secs
2 Yadz - 2744 - 117 secs
3 Yadz - 2738 - 122 secs

For those who did not spot it, look at the times for Skan0r. It may not seem too extreme but it like this for him on ever game where he has become leader. His times are 3 and 4 times longer than anyone else. I don't think it can be put down to him having loo breaks either.

As I said I'm not sure exactly how it's being done, but I do think it may have something to do with having the right click options available.

Is anyone else having a similar problem to this? I really don't think it's just me going crazy? Is it? If someone else is suffering this, is there anyway you figured to stop it and what exactly is it he's doing?

John - Any luck figuring out anything that could be causing scores to not be submited?

Detomah...I'm not really seeing how he is "blatently" cheating...plenty of people on my boards play games for a long span of time. It's called "boredom."

Look at the times compared to the scores. If a member got 2744 points in 117 seconds, how could the other guy possibly get under a thousand more in over twice the time? Aren't the helicopter scores largely based on the time you've been playing?

John	01-22-2004 12:15 AM

I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary there. If you're that worried, check Skan0r's pings and make sure they're reasonable. (In the database)

Edit: Another thing you have to take into account is that timing starts as soon as the game loads... he can wait minutes before clicking on start.

No, not yet. The next batch of features will come all at once.

Also, I have to work to survive. As much time as I do spend on this, I need to get other stuff done - apart from the game conversions, bug fixes, installation support, etc. for the Arcade. The hack has only been released for a few days, give me a chance.

EDIT: one of my staff has asked me some thing..
i am going to turn on the auto pruning on for every 30 days

and they asked if there is was a way to have it post the top 5 socore for each game in a certin thread or forum id before it prunes the scores

John	01-22-2004 12:34 AM

Yep, I have a list.

There's always a way, as long as you know how to code it.

I thought I better bring it to the attention of everyone that one of my members has somehow found a cheat for Asteroids and for Helicopter.

I am not totally sure how he's doing it, but it's so blatently obvious that he's doing it it's unreal.

Spot the cheat:

For those who did not spot it, look at the times for Skan0r. It may not seem too extreme but it like this for him on ever game where he has become leader. His times are 3 and 4 times longer than anyone else. I don't think it can be put down to him having loo breaks either.

Want to see one of my Chopper Challenge scores?

Code:

3         squall14716         2044         The crown is mine, +++++.           8:27pm Jan 19         4091 secs

Anyways, I've installed every modified game to date. One game that I'd like modified is "Alien Attack". I'll grab an .fla and post it in a few minutes or something. I tried it myself with little luck (not that I had luck doing it for ProArcade either...).

I've tested the exploit and it is there. Anyway to fix it?

John - With regards to my earlier post including that possible fault, the common connection is that it's happening to people who beat the high score on games (not every time though, it's happened roughly 22 times from over 20,000 game plays). I managed to replicate it myself while I was checking the bug mentioned above.

By the way, Maeda Path has been updated. (Just download the zip again and overwrite the swf file.)

22 errors in 20,000 game sessions, that's 0.01% of all scores. It could be packet loss - it happens. You were lucky to manage to replicate it. (I've been unable to.)

Either way, arcade.php has been updated in the zip - I suggest you update, it might help. (It'll stop the database errors.)

As for the bug in my mini_stats. The problem has been resolved. Please download the new instructions and rehack. Delete what you added into arcade.php before and add the new code. Cheers.

Either there's still a bug, or it was reporting the wrong stuff before because acording to the first rev I should have been almost at 2 days, then it went down to just over 1 and now it's still around there. So, which was correct?

Superb hack. When VB goes gold, I'll be installing it.

/me clicks install

I guess perhaps I am being a little paranoid or crazy or both then... >.< Ooh well always better to be safe thn sorry. :)

Uploaded the new Maede file anyway, working great. :)

Also uploaded the new files with no probs, but, I won't know if my mystery problem vanishes or not till the forum gets busy again in the morning now though.

A few of my users have been nagging me for a drving game, is there any on the horizon.

Regarding .fla files for games, can it be any .fla game file so long as it's good? There's no special requirements is there?

Hi John, great hack, got it up and running no problem now (multi-style blank page issue).

I'd like to know what I'd need to change in postbit_legacy so that the winners don't have their trophys and text trailing right after their user title? I think if I just put a <br> in, I'd have an extra line for no reason if that person wasn't a champion of a game.

Thanks..

Amazing, amazing hack. Tons of fun!

But, there's gonna be a lot less posting on my boards now :'(

Now, we need an Excitebike and Paperboy flash port!

Is it possible to place the part of code that is launched after game over under a button?

B.t.w. i've installed it on RC3 and it looks great. When i have time i shall try to modify as many as possible games for this addon.

Installed on RC3 last night, seems to be working I did have ONE problem with the display on the profile page.

Under ***Arcade User Options*** in profile.php it would be good to add this:

PHP Code:


		
			
construct_usercp_nav();

Before the $template_name line, to prevent layout/display issues.

Well spotted!

Zip file updated. If you've already installed it,

in profile.php
FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
$templatename = "modifyarcade";

ABOVE THIS, ADD:

PHP Code:


		
			
construct_usercp_nav();

This fixes those Arcade Settings colour issues.
