I'm having trouble getting the games to load. The actual page links are pointing in the right direction, but the SWF files aren't showing up. The settings appear to be correct for everything, and going directly to the movie lets the game run fine, but it's not loading from the page.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something obvious I'm not seeing here?

how do i fix this
http://www.polskieforum.com/forum/proarcade.php

games dont load and i have headers and footers all over the page

here is the pic if the page dont load

The champion text in postbit has stopped working. I've tried everything, deleted the tables, reinstall and looked trough the files but what happens is the part in general options for the champions "Use Champions system" is NO and stays NO after set it to YES and click on 'submit changes'. I've chmod the arcade php files 777, 775, 666 etc. but no way. What can i do next?

The games aren't loading for some reason. I just get a blank box where the game is supposed to be...why?!?!?! I have the latest version of Flash and don't have a problem viewing Flash on other sites...why isn't it showing up? Check it out:

i had this same probem, make sure every word and letters are the same, they apear to be case sensative..

if you swf file of roulette is spelt like this "Roulette" then when setting it up in your admin panel, it should be the same. check all your set up options and make sure there isnt any capatals missing..

=( i've checked, and still doesnt work. Thanks for trying to help though, it's appreciated. Anyone else have any ideas??

These .fla files seem hard to come by. What's a decent site to get them from? and how would I incorporate that into the swf file to upload to the server? Where exactly in the .fla file would I insert the ProArcade code?

Where do I run this query (in phpMyAdmin)

DELETE FROM arcadescores WHERE game='hexxagonFinal';

DELETE FROM arcadescores WHERE game='breakout';

DELETE FROM arcadescores WHERE game='game-name-here';

So no help out there? I'd really like to get this working. My memebrs have requested it several times.

Make sure you've installed the templates.

I've had a problem with the arcade, and I just installed it. It runs fine... (With a few "visual" errors, it seems to use the same color for everything on the default vB2.3.0 style) But my scores won't save. I scanned this thread quickly, and apparently only one other person had this problem, but he fixed it by reformatting. I'm not prepared to do that.

Anyone with information on why this doesn't work? I ran every query, and installed every template using the Template Backup System. (The TBS is faster for multi-style installations)

Thanks for your time!

Direct link to arcade

Make sure you use IE 5.5 or higher to make sure it saves the score.

I did i triple checked the templates and still am having problems. The page shows up white everytime I try to goto the main arcade page

Would IE 6-XP work? :p I know it does, I can play games at the MidiBuddy arcade.

[edit]I've fixed my test-login user. Sorry about that![/edit]

Someone take a look at this, tell me what they think. I edited a score that was in the highscore table, but not "validated". phpMyAdmin can work wonders! :D

I am so badly ruined by this hack... Something is not right. Anyone that knows what they're doing and wants to help, PM me and I'll hook you up with a temporary admin account.

I need this hack to work soon!

Talking of that, Tetris worked fine on my board until yesterday when suddenly it wouldn't load until I changed the name of it. It just stopped accepting the name 'Tetris'.

That blank box problem of yours. I had it when I installed. I'd uploaded the files. It didn't work. I went to check if the arcade was active, etc (which it was)... then for some reason I just went back to the arcades and they've worked fine since (except the matter about Tetris).

It's ok i've figured it out. I was wondering about Breakout.

one suggestion...

the highscore is nice, yes but new users have a hard job to do. some scores are tooooo high. so they are to fast disappointed if they cant break it. an extra monthly highscore would be better :)

i like this idea, what are the odds on having this option...?

Never mind... Figured it out.

You cannot save scores if you play from the machine that the server is running off of. I went and played Sanke on the other computer in my house, and the scores worked fine.

You could make it so not EVERY score is saved. I have every score achieved EVER even if they score 1. It just takes up space.

I installed the hack without a hitch on v2.2.9 :).

Does anyone know if it would be possible to award points (Lesane Store Hack v2.0) to users for scores achieved in a game? My visitors are interested in getting paid to play, which isn't at all a bad idea. I'm sure it would take alot of coding but if it's too much then I'll pass on the idea.

Does nobody has an idea why this is happening???

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.

instead of a site paying out cash, why not make it like a real arcade and have people pay the site somehow to play :classic: ( each time they can deposit like $10, to play a game would be a quarter..and it would go towards a credit each time even when they get high score....ya know like a real arcade game would do) it could work out so that the money to play the games would go to bandwidth and maintenance of the site...

never mind, thats a dumb idea...lol..

Ok, I read this all the way to page 36 before I realized there were 72 pages. So keep that in mind when you read this. I didn't make it through ALL the history.

Here's what I'm getting:

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.

Well, 2 bugs that I know of now.

• Playing games off of a localhost server won't let you save your scores
• Links are not Mozilla-compatable (They do not include a domain, so the root of the current domain is assumed, which is wrong. $bburl should be transfixed before all links to resolve this issue)

Hopefully they are resolved soon! :D

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.

I just moved to a new server and now when I try to upload the champ icon and or thumb to add a new game it won't upload.

It acts like it does then it don't show up ...

Any ideas?

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.

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??

yeah, some of my users are getting this as well.

also, i have a major problem. for some reason, my cookies aren't being saved anymore. i am not the only one having this problem and i've tested it on 3 different machines. all the same problem. it happened after i installed this hack. please help!!

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.

futureal! check your email dude. i need your help!!

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.

"If anybody knows a solution to this, I am happy to hear it."
Ditto. It effects netscape and IE on Macs
