i really like the game Rogue's Gallery by joecool on page 64

but is there a more censored version with not so much blood ?

i am not sure, if i can integrate this game with so much blood into my vb ;)

thank you for your help :)

Finaly Frogger. It's another Frogger and actualy a better one. Info in the zip. :)

there is a bug in frogger. i scored 10 points and 30 points nd it only submits 4

awesome, thanks.
While I'm typing this, thanks also to joecool, evils1 and the rest for converting these games:)

#frogger

it only submits 4

#yep got the same one :-((

Weeee i had the wrong scorevariable. Changed swf in the zip. ;)

Is there any fix to the problem for Who's Online where it shows people 'Playing in the Arcade' even when they're not ?

Don't use the champion icons in your postbit...

Can you just turn off the champion system in the general options, or do you have to actually exclude the variables from the postbit templates?

Nice work on frogger.

I um, need a better poker, yeah I know you gave me the edited version so it's harder...but the gits still manage to get the highest score possible. So yeah, I need another one :(

Check this post to fix the problem and still use the icons:

Try this one. I edited it once again so that its even more difficult.

What you done to that one then?

A pair pays 1:1 (win nothing & lose nothing)
2 pair = 2:1
3 of a kind = 3:1
straight = 4:1
flush = 5:1
etc.

If that still doesn't work for you let me know and I'll fix it so that a pair loses the money bet.

How can we prevent viewing the games on local pc's because if a game is cool they just extract it from the temp and play it offline. And we want visitors to come for the games right? :D I've seen many (not opensource) swf games that are not playable offline or on another domain. How did they do that???

People could play the games offline, but their scores would not be recorded. Thus, I think that very few people would do that, when they might as well just play them through the arcade system.

At least, that's what I think they'd do. :)

I got this message from one of my members

Silly Question:
For the Tie-Fighter game, what exactly is the query for? I installed the game without it, and didnt notice any problems. Can someone tell me what sort of problems I shoudl expect by not running that query? Just curious! Great work to everyone and great support futureal!

Running the query does the same thing as adding the game in the control panel. Some people can't add games through thier CP for whatever reason so they need the query. But since you can add them in the CP you don't need it.

3DBall! Pong in tunnelvision. Info in zip. Enjoy. :)

Does anyone have a copy of the zip file for Solitaire(the version that does not have the LEO cards and has the pre-loader). The link on page 53 of this thread is a dead link :(

Here's another solitaire. Card deck change, background and timer + autoscore. Info in zip. Enjoy. :)

Thank you, Nuclion! I'll download it as soon as I get home from work!

The work everyone has done here is fantastic! Its amazing how much you all are accomplishing and is definitely appreciated by my community! Keep up the good work!

edit: on a side note, did anyone update the 'simon says' game to include a timer or anything? I read through almost all the posts here(a lot of good reading!) and noticed that you could simply write down the color combinations, and in an essence, cheat.

EvilLS1 Thx. for the info. But surely this will stack the crowns on top of each other, rather than next to each other along the horizontal?

Quick question: For Solitaire, exactly how do you quit the game so that the score gets entered into the table? I cannot find out how to do this! I can play the game, but cannot get it to exit the game :(

It seems a bunch of games don't even know variables are sent to em. Like X Breakout, hexxagon. That's also why it don't work on forums that are in subfolders.

I tried to edit the games to add a getURL function that take the incoming variables from HTML. It doesn't work at all.... I don't understand why since it worked in Funky Pong. (I forgot who did it for that game)

It's a difficult problem indeed Darkmeteor. Some games do have realy a gamename and url in the source that must be specified or the game will never work. Some games require an exact position of a button or scorevariable script. They load the score from a certain layer or level and if the button is not on the right spot it shall not work.

I've seen very wierd methods of launching the score data trough the game and eventualy to the point 'gameover'. Sometimes there is no scorevariable but only a small window where points are going up or down. Strange enough the small simple games are harder to modify because of that basic method of score handling. Or they have stunning mathematics inside like the Electrotank minigolf. That game checks multiple points before you can proceed and it will freeze if a variable is not correct. Horrible!

There's a pinball swf around with the name 'JungleQuest' and it's a great game but it's source shows no scorevariable and that's very strange.

yeah, I've spent like 6 straight hours yesterday trying to understand how games handle variables, and it's different in each damn game.. :(

Yep. But still 90 % of the games i've looked at are eventualy working. I must stop cracking games because the page is loading to slow. The real problem is the copyright and there often is no copyright at all because the author had never expected that his swf without the fla would load it's highscore in a vb forum. And these swf games are downloadable from many many so called gameportals that ripped it or link to it with multiple banners.

I've found out that a mail to the author almost never works, there's no respons or they trow you a list with unbelievable expensive games in the mail. Thank you ma'm. :D

haha, look at this site : http://www.edesign.uk.com/gamezone.htm#

?350 for the space invaders .fla :)

weeee hahaha i saw that game, it's terrible. As a matter of fact the one posted earlier in this thread is much better.

It will look like this:

If its a string you can define the score variable at the top of the submit code like this:

var score = _global.score;

Example:

I had to do this to make pinball and a couple of others work.


BTW, 3dball looks cool Nuc. Thanks!

i played solitare twice and i won but it says system error and then says i cheated and i dint cheat :( and it dnt pout my score up help...

One of my posters posted this on my site



Is there a way to cheat, or is something messed up or whatever? I'm kind of confused

Space Hunter

After nearly 4 hours of trial & error I finally got this game to work with the vb arcade. :banana:

Game Identifier: spacehunter
Filename: spacehunter.swf
Game Hash Offset: 5
Score Return Variable: $score

HTML

That's what I thought. I like the way I used to have it, i.e. just showing crowns from left to right - I never used the text variable. Is there anyway to achieve this given the fact I have to remove the other variable to make the who's online work?

Thx for the new game btw - I'll check that out later :).

That should be possible. Try this:

In admin/functions.php find & remove this:
Then in the CP remove all the champ text for each game and just put the HTML for the crown image in the champ text field.

I'm thinking this should display the crowns for each game side by side. Let me know if it works.

EvilLS1

very cool game, from what I can tell the submit button works :)

EviLS1 - yeps submit button works for me too :cool:.
