Did that for me as well until I clicked quote on Dark Jim's post and grabbed the query from there, I don't know why it doesn't seem to display properly through the postbit (I tested it like 5 times before quoting and being able to run the query).

Well...test that. Simon is up and work on my boards as well, nice job Dark Jim. :)

Yep.. Instructions for Simon seemed to work fine via the Control panel.

Looks to be working OK so far !

THANKS !!!

How about Hexxagon, has anyone tried to get that working ?

Hmm yeah that must be it because I exported it from phpmyadmin and copied that into my post.

Here's a link to a freely-available Frogger clone if anybody wants to convert it:

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

1. save game icon to desktop
2. save crown icon to desktop
3. upload simon.swf to your games folder
4. go to the arcade admin panel and click on add game and enter the following information :

Game Identifier : hexxagonfinal
Game Title : Hexxagon
Game Description : * describe it in your own words *
- browse to the champion icon on desktop
Champion text for Simon Says : Hexxagon Champion
Champion text color : #FF0000
- browse to game icon on desktop
Filename : hexxagonfinal.swf
Game Hash Offset : 5
Score Return Variable : $hexxagonfinalscore

and then HTML Code For Game :


Should be all good:

ps..oh by the way people

when you open up the fla file.....go down to game...in the last keyframe drop that code in right before the stop function.....anyone have any problem with flash lemme know...ill help u out.....if you guys want games changed....put up a link to where i can get the source file and ill fix it up for u...ENJOY

NOTE: ILL PUT UP THE .FLA and .SWF when i get it to work...not redirecting to comments and scores

Umm you got a fixed .swf for hexxagon to go with this? ;)

alright people...sorry theres something that i cant figure out....the game works on the site...but when the game is over it doesnt direct me the comment page and the users score doesnt show up...anyone know whats up??

Peace

for..this hexxagon and simon

now i know the variable within both games is $score however in the proarcade.php the variable seems to be $theScore....so i went in and changed around the variables within the games to follow suit.....but it still doesnt work...any ideas

I found a game that would be a great addition to arcades everywhere (and the death of 56k for that matter, the SWF alone is almost 1 MB, the FLA is over 4 :speechless:.

It's a nice 3D space shooter. Maybe someone can get it to work soon. :)

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...7722/index.php

Or maybe even get the alien attack version of it up too! (This is for all the 56k people, the file is much much smaller.) :D

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...6993/index.php

I've been trying different variations myself but so far I've had no luck. Here's the .fla file in case someone else out there would like to give us a hand at it.

That's odd.... Simon seems to work fine on my site. All scores seem to be updating correctly.

Brainz: if you dont mind could u please put up what went into your ADMIN CP when adding the game (html part) and what went into the game itself....the score and hash variables...thanx

Peace

nymyth : in case you get back before he posts his , here's what went into my admin cp for simon and it works just fine

and as for the simon .fla and what went into it

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...&postid=341477

...and a few others from www.virtual-fx.net/opensource/

Not sure what you can do with them if anything...just wanted to help. :)

I used to love this game...

:)

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IM AN IDIOT....put the coding in the wrong f'ing keyframe....ok now its on.....lol

Peace

xxxsaint: I worked out the hexxagon game....and realized its pointless trying to calculate points......the game doesnt recoginze final score, it only recognizes who has higher player one or player two......and this doesnt help our scoreboard.

Which really doesnt matter cuz u really cant get any high points in the game...the highest number of points in the game is however many hexagon spots are available......my advice dont even bother with hexxagon......its a great game, but not what we need.......

Peace

oooohhhh....however, if someone were to go inside the game and rewrite the code so that when one of our rubies takes over the computers we get 10 points....if we take multiple at the same time we get bonus points......thats the only system i can think which will work......however the coding is serious, which is why i cant do it right now...(little time)....if anyone wants to take a pick at it, ill be more than happy to help them out........ :-P

Peace

The coding for installing simon has some errors in it cos the forums change : D into :D so the code doesnt work, I have attatched the HTML code you should use.

Hope that helps people who couldnt get simon says to work (like me!) :)

I've been trying to get the frogger clone someone posted earlier to work, without success I might add. I've got it hitting proarcade.php when the game is over, but for some reason I just can't get it to pass the damn score. :p

I realize that the game is pretty simple, only has one level but I'm mainly just doing it to get familliar with adapting games to ProArcade. :)

Da'Nacho put up the files, lets see what u got and see if together we cannot solve this slight problem....

Peace

OK, here is the .fla since I've worked on it...

The appropriate frames to insert the code needed for vbProArcade seem to be 51 and 52.

Frame 51 is the 'You're out of frogs, play again?' and 52 is 'You're ready for Level 2, but I didn't make a level 2... play again?'

I realize that since it's only a 1 level game the need for saving the scores isn't very high, but I'm mainly trying to do it just for the experience of doing it, you know?

Anyway I have the following code in there before the stop(); in both frames:

The game hands off to vbProArcade like it should, but it doesn't seem to be passing a score value whatsoever (vbProArcade returns to a blank scoreboard).

Any idears?

Is the score variable set right in the admin CP? That could be the issue, but I doubt it.

well guys , I have some sad news to pass on about the simon game . There is no timer at all in that game and all you have to do is get a pencil and paper , and write down the color order that is blinked to you , and click it back in. After the sequence gets really high , it doesn't matter because all you have to do is write down the last color that flashed at the end of your string of text

Example :
R Y R B B R R G R B B Y Y B R G B R R Y Y Y

so , as much as I enjoyed being able to have that game added , I've pulled it from my ranked arcade and placed it back into the ' fun arcade ' on my site. Just thought I would give you guys a heads up on that one .

I don't understand how this is sad news, this is pretty much inherent to Simon. I agree that a timer would probably be a good idea but even then you could still write a single letter on a piece of paper in time. *shrug*

Hmm... I wonder how difficult it would be to add a timer...

[high]* Da`Nacho goes to think and play with code...[/high]

Of course, lol... ;)

Yea, I figured you were smart enough to get that right if you were smart enough to edit it ion the fist place lol. ;) Just checking :)

ok then try a string of 30 letters , paying attention to the last blinking light to make sure you write the last one down right and then go back through and click the string into the game. To say that is inherent to simon , i dont' get that , how is cheating the arcade scoreboard by this method due to a simple cheat like this ' inherent ' . It's sad news to me because I can't stand cheaters...

;)

go play with the code !!!!

The cheating problem inherent to Simon Says was the primary reason I never modified it along with the rest of Neave's great games. It just doesn't work well as a ranked game.

As for Hexxagon, somebody would indeed have to add a traditional point-based scoring system to make it work correctly with the arcade.

so, no new games out yet? *sighs*

those would be some nice games to have :)

vbProArcade Flash Game: Hexxagon

Version:

1.0 I guess.

Compatibility:

- vbProArcade Beta 2
- vbProArcade Beta 1 (Not tested but most likely)

Original Credits:

Paul Neave, http://www.neave.com/webgames/

Other Information:

Included in the zip is the executable (.swf) file, a crappy image I made to use in the main arcade screen and a new crappy crown image. I did not modify the game but a member on my forums did.

Installation
1. Upload the file hexxagonFinal.swf to your games directory.

2. Execute the following query:

I may try to modify it and make it so it continuous after you win until you loose. Maybe even use the suggestion in this thread to give points when you take spots.

Installed works great!

Installed Hexxagon and working great over at the Candidforums!

I really like this game, it's based on an older DOS shareware game and is a REALLY faithful recreation. I used to spend HOURS playing this with my friends and neighbors. Even though it's not really good for the champions system, it still makes a FUN addition to the arcade!


Jim, can you make the altered .fla available and/or tell me what you had to do to make it work? I tried and tried and all I could ever get it to do was immediately hit proarcade.php on the start of a game, really frustrating and I'm anxious to see how you got it working. :)

Once again, Jim, instead of putting in a 9 for the ID, put in NULL, so that it won't automatically make it 9, instead it'd use the next ID that it can use. ;)

I just installed hexxagon, changing hexxagonFinal to just hexxagon. I dunno, that just annoyed me. Works great. :)

Yea, it's good practice to use NULL in any SQL column that contains an auto incrementing value. Other values may not work correctly in everybody's databases (duplicate entry error in a keyed field).

Hmm like I posted I did not modify the game myself but I'll ask for the fla file. I downloaded Macromedia Flash and will try to improve it so it does not end when you win.

:tired: Fixed. And before someone asks, no I don't have 9 games. The 9 in the query was because I deleted a game twice.

hmm the query on post 71 doesnt work ! cood this have sumthing to do with this line in the query
