EvilLS1 - there is still a problem with blackjack, in the counting of Aces

I had a 4, 6, and an Ace, which should equal 21, yet I lost the game to i think it was a queen and a 7, so it must have counted the Ace as 1...

Just thought you might want to check into that.... ;)

Weird. I haven't noticed any problems with mine. I'll check into it. Anybody else had this problem?

i just installed save me and it wont auto end i went out for a smoke and it is still going .... lol

You can see Beta 2.1 running on Shadows: http://www.shadowsofnamek.com/forum/proarcade.php

You'll notice the reduced query count on the main arcade page, as well as some minor bug fixes that had been bothering people.

The bare minimum, SQL-wise, is one query per game. With a large score table, there is already quite a bit of PHP going on to process all the scores that come from those queries. However, I am thinking of testing another version that just does one query for ALL of the games/scores and then processes it via PHP.

When I went from the multiple queries to all PHP, the page load time actually increased, but the number of queries dropped dramatically.

nope evil, never had that problem. but the members complain cause it's so easy to lose, lmao. The highscore on my board is 1250, lmao. Oh well

Hehe.. Just like real casino blackjack its hard to beat the dealer. Highest score on my board is 12,000.. and it belongs to me. :D

LOL... my members high score in BJ is 20,000! and 157,500 in Roulette!!!

I think I'm going to have to take some of them to Vegas... lol...

Here's my game page:

New best blackjack score is 20,180. 500,000 on roulette. I have no life. :laugh:

i added bj yesterday and one of my members reported an error

Actually a few of my members have reported the same thing with several different games including the ones that came with vbproarcade. Nothing in the game itself should make it do that. Maybe a browser issue or something to do with the session timing out.

every game can report that error. Simply clicking the link a second time before it loads can make that happen, as well as reaching the game via your back button. I suggest when you enter a game, you hit refresh first, that way it loads and you know you won't get that error (at least i haven't yet).

There is a small code edit for the vbproarcade.php file that will fix that problem, look on the main thread, I asked about it recently. Also, you could just wait until v2.1 to come out and upgrade.

hmm for adding games I just right click the add game link and make a new window, then add the game, so I can reference the other games already install, then hit submit and refresh my admin. so far I haven't had any major issues with game installs doing it that way.

I searched and couldnt' find your post that you were talking about... could you post a link to it directly plz?

For some reason I cannot find it... :confused:

Another prob...

EDIT.....FIXED

This is game 2 that dosnt work the other is the simpsons.. at end redirects to cheat error page regardless

I'm still having a problem with eggs not loading properly for some strange reason

trafix, make sure you enter everything perfectly, otherwise something will go wrong. I don't know why it would keep doing that.

I had a problem with the Simpsons as well, but it wasn't the same. I just removed it from the arcade, reuploaded it, and readded it and it worked fine. Hope that helps :)

I did ask a couple of pages ago ...

How do i add the champianship stuff (like in postbits) to the members profile?

@ GaleForce

I will completley remove the simpsons and re-add it again.

Can someone please get a better poker game?

Even when you made that other one harder, they're still getting to the hi-score limit of 2 billion and whatever it is

I've been looking for a better one but no luck finding anything.

Try this one. I made some more changes and everything pays even lower.. Pair pays 1:1, 2 pair pays 2:1, 3 of a kind pays 3:1, etc. With this version my members haven't been able to score more than 3 million.

Just did a search on flashkit for poker

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Appli...7840/index.php

That any good? Could you do something with that?

Naah, I found that a few weeks ago. He didn't include the .fla. When you download it, it just says visit www.whatever.com, and on his site he charges people $$$ to use his games.

booooo, ah well i'll keep looking

Any news on that guy who was doing something with frogger?

Some of the games need definite revamps. Like shooter, the max score you can get is 4200, so everyone on my board has a 4200. And with paladin you can only get a 666. Perhaps with Paladin you could basically restart the game if you beat the devil, but the monsters could be 50% faster, and the speed could keep going up. With shooter, just need to add an infinte number of levels with faster targets on each.

could anyone give me the HTML code for the game asteroids? thanks

Thanks a lot!

How do you guys know what HTML code to add, if they don't give it to you? I'm new to this as you can see ;)

n/p. You can use the html from any of the other games when installing a new one.. You might have to adjust the height & width, but it'll work.

O really? haha... I'm showing my "newbieism" LOL

thanks, i'll remember that... i was wondering how you installed them without the html code :) ;)

Well this thread seems to have died....

and on page 69 as well...interesting

After scanning and trying to alter opensource games i've found out that there are many ways to handle the score in games. There are scores who use text as in for example txtScore etc. and asp, xml kinds of scores. Finding the right variable for the arcade hack is in that case a very difficult task. Altough Flashtoolset can find somethimes the variable as mentioned in the tutorial, this is working for about 40% of the games. That means that a lot of games will not be available because we can't find the right variable for it. That brings me to a few questions.

Are there other methods to find and use the scorevariable in games?
Is the gamehash wich is almost always 5 a factor if a game refuses to load the scorevariable? How do you find a valuable hash in a game if this is not 5?

The idea behind the gamehash was for people to modify .FLA files themselves to contain a different value for each game, making it somewhat more difficult for somebody to cheat.

Still, though, it does not offer all that much protection, and may create more headaches than it is worth. The sad fact is that if people want to cheat, they will be able to, since the Flash stuff is all executed client-side. Anybody who knows how to edit memory or spoof headers will be able to submit bogus information...

My preferred method for finding the score variable in games is to use the loadMovie method in a new blank movie, to load the game.swf file.

Once you've loaded the movie properly, and using CTRL+ENTER to test the movie you can play the game and view the variables while you play.... thus comparing the score you see in the game to the list of variables. Using this method it is very easy to nail down the score variable, as well as every other variable and its purpose.

I have hacked several games, the major problem I am running into is that when the score is submitted it seems to use a POST method, which only allows for somewhere around 255 characters in the post string, and many of the games I have been working on have MANY MANY variables being posted. Still looking for a workaround.

I'm also still trying to figure out how to convert a shockwave game to work with the arcade, but I've made no progress in that department whatsoever. I am an actionscript GURU but a lingo AMATEUR.

There are ways to secure the score because casino's are using flash most of the time for their online games. How this is done i don't know. I've seen flashgames with their own highscore tables in it, so they don't need a database at all. A gamedeveloper on Flashkit is using textfiles and cgi for storing score data and that works fine with no problems. But when you want more security then this arcade hack will lift itself beyond the reach of many of us because it will be to complicated to edit the files.

And yes Osmosis shockwave is awesome. :) But understanding and using lingo data is difficult indeed.

Those online casinos using Flash most likely have an XML socket server set up to handle data, which Flash can communicate directly with.

There probably IS a way to get this hack secured, I just have to learn more about it and then find it. :)
