Is there a way to add .dcr games??

what is dcr?

here is the link to the plugin

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...sion=Shockwave

Shockwave

I got it! To play games with the dcr extention go to add Game in admin just like you would with a swf game.

Code for classid/codebase
Enter the classid="..." and codebase="..." parameters here, separated by a space is

classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave /cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,65,0"

EMBED Tag Parameters is

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave"


Hope this helps someone else

you can play them very easily, but they will not be intergrated with the score board will they?

Matthew

Its strange: All my members can play fine, but One person. His scores are not registering when he finishes a game(he gets high scores, and uses Explorer). He does not even get directed to the 'comment' field screen.
I have added his UserGroupID, so that is not the problem. Plus, others in that usergroup are able to play and record scores. Anyone have any faint ideas as to what the problem is? I am quite clueless :(

Nope they don't get included in scoreboard. Does anyone know a fix to that?

Baptizer - Does that user have any special characters in their username (such as ~, ', #) or something like that? I think I remember there being a bug where it was messing up for users with special characters in their names and I'm not sure if it was ever corrected or not. If that is the case then there's a pretty simple fix.

Jeebus!

Is he ever going to release an .FLA for us flash authors to have a gander at? :mad:

Or at least tell us how the highscores are passed back from the .SWF, my users want new games and I want to give them new games! There isn't much point in having the ability to add them if no one will tell us how to send highscore values back to vbProArcade! :(

Hi PlurPlanet:
Thanks for assisting me with my problem. Unfortunately, his name is totally normal; the name is worth. To be honest with you, I am quite lost on this :(

I will have a look for a flash decoder program that will let me ge the source code for the game and if i have any luck i will post the file here ;)

Matthew

well guys here it is, it is a decompiler that will allow you to see the code and system that is used to pass the code to the high score table.

Please remember that this ISNT an edior, it just allows you to read/see the way the flash program works and from that you should be able to edit and intergrate the games that you have!

the links http://www.buraks.com/asv/index.html :p

(download the evaluation/demo copy)

Goodluck ;)
Matthew

I'm having the same problem. Let's me enter a comment with no apparent problems, but then isn't displaying them at all on the high score tables.

Can anyone help with this problem, please?

EDIT: Also just tried the Champion System, but it's not working. The custom champion titles aren't showing up under my username on posts even though I'm presently champ on two games on my forums.

Any ideas there as well, please?

Whats really quite sad is one of my mods figured out how the score was passed before I did, and he pretty much told everyone on the forum how to fake scores.

now I've got everyone submitting fake scores to the arcade... *sigh*

Who woulda thunk it would be so easy to do...

I was able to get this action-script info out of the snake game :

now , being a flash rookie - is this enough info to be able to start adding our own games because I really want to add flash casino games in there , I've posted that all over these forums with no luck.

You can gleam the info from that...

quite bluntly the scores are sent like this:

url/proarcade.php?action=<actionname>&game=<gamename>& <scorevarname>=<scorevalue>

ie to give yourself 33,500 in tetris:

http://www.myforum.com/proarcade.php?action=gameover&game=tetris&tetrissc ore=33,500

From that you can see pretty much how the games are sending the score back to proarcade.php. I wouldn't be posting this except for the fact that I've had everyone putting in fake scores all day. :( I had one user who even told me he actually recompiled the breakout .swf and changed the breakoutscore = score; line to read a static value and the location variable to match the url to our forum, and then all he had to do was run it and presto.

There must be some way to prevent both of the above from happening. :(

hey futureal, are you going to add any more games besides the 4 that u released?

well , I have a slot machine .fla , and a poker machine .fla , how would I learn what to do to make those work out ?

seeee , i'm psyched up about it
http://www.tdleague.com/forums/image...sbooksmall.gif

glad to see i could help! I dont know any flash so i look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

Does anybody have a game we can add yet?

Thanks
Matthew

download this program (http://www.buraks.com/asv/index.html) and then you will see how it all works but i think xxxsaint has covered it all!

Anybody had any luck?

Great hack.

After playing a game, i am redirected to the scoreboard, but Scores ARE NEVER added - all games are still at "0
(New Game!) " What can be wrong?

I dont see the "GameOver"-Screen - i just checked the templates - all are available. :(

Running 2.2.9

MAYDAY :D

BTW: Great hack!!

Hmm a bit difficult to do a search in this big thread but I have a problem: After playing a game and the game's over I'll be directed to http://www.mysite.com/proarcade.php instead of http://www.mysite.com/forums/proarcade.php. Anyone now where I need to fix this?

I think everyone needs to show some patience...

I know we need to test this out but if you explain to your users that this is BETA and you have no control over future upgrades/releases.... then they might understand the delay etc...

but I am glad that so many ppl have installed this hack and is providing feedback...

and yes... i too can't wait for the next beta release... but it might take weeks, months or days...

Umm i installed properally "i think" ive installed harder hacks then this one anyways but... When i go to play the games and it never loads ? and it happens to everyone on my site ??

well since this hack lacks any support here,.. I've uninstalled it.. got kinda tired fooling with bugs.. and personally, i don't see any progress here. despite the author claiming a new version over a month ago.. kinda hard to beta test something when bugs aren't being fixed.

I had a few conversion projects in the work but I lost interest when I found out how easy it was to cheat. :(

There has to be some way of making this more secure.

Are you planning on making the fla files availible?

any new games?

Please make the files available that you have worked on so the games can be finished! Even though it is easy to cheat, i dont think it will be hard to stop, and also not many people know that you can cheat (or how to)

Matthew

++++ wBB!!!
Look here:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/babel...e%3D1&lp=de_en
They have the Hack from Gulli (German Hacker Board) and now they make it for wBB!!!
STOP IT!!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

There is a new version, it is up and running on my site WITH the bugs fixed, and it will be released as soon as I am able to sit down and dedicate a few hours to coming up with a viable install file. I once again made the mistake of saying I could do it when I was busy with other stuff, and I apologize for that.

But still, I am getting hate mail both here and on my own sites because of this hack. Do you people really think that motivates me to work on it? I know it is only a few people here and there, but still, it isn't the best motivator. I should note that I am also receiving a good number of requests from unlicensed vB users trying to get support from me.

I should be back home in a day or so and at that time I will make it a priority to get the version that I have finished released. I also have the .FLA files of the five current games ready to go and will post those as well.

I would work on it right now, but it is 3 AM and I'm sitting in a cheapo motel room in Utah using my notebook and a cell phone to access the internet at like 1 KB/sec. :)

Looking forward to the updates, futureal, and thanks!

And to those sending him hate mail, for shame! None of the hack makers here are under any obligation to you, me, or anyone else. They do it because they want to contribute to the vb community, and definitely don't deserve such crappy treatment!

there are MANY questions in this thread that haven't got an answer. If you want people to beta test something at least take the time and answer a question every so often, once a month doesn't quite kick it... Especially when you checked the little box when releasing the hack that you will provide support. If you wasn't going to provide support like the title says you shouldn't have checked the box, so people know not to bother asking questions and talking to walls.
