ill try and do some editing to the flash files, i have to go to work in a few, but i def had fun editing them!!

futureal, how would you make the games get a variable first (like points), then play the game (and do something with the points, although how to do that is not really important) and eventually when the game is over submit the points as well as the score? I would like a gamble flash game in the arcade that makes use of the store points but I (and the person developing the gamble game) does not know how to get variables from the database.

Mine does the same thing in the userdetail screen, so I just added inside the appropriate tag and it displays wonderfully now! :) You might try the same!

WOW. Installed flawlessly. Instructions were very easy to follow and nothing went wrong.

Thank You for this amazing addition to our board!! :cool:

How would you go about linking each crown to the game or scoarboard?

EDIT: Code removed - doesn't work.

Mmm... when I first installed this hack, I did manage to get it to work... try searching in this thread for the code... I remember seeing a working version in here...

Nope; recieved the following error. . .

vbProArcade Error: Invalid game name specified (todo: put something pretty here later)

Not a problem thought I can link the crowns to the arcade for the time being!

It looks like it does not add the name of the game to the link. . .

I have a quick question. . . Is it possable to reset all scores back to zero? I tried the Scores Editor :Reset a Score Group
when I do that i get this message :

Score Group was Current, so Champions have been reset.
Score Group has been reset.

But all the scores remain?

Thanks

try to EMPTY, don't DROP it, the arcadescores and arcadetopscores tables in the database.

How do you go about doing that? I am in phpmyadmin and found the tabels you referred to but I don't see anyway to empty them?

there should be a tab that says EMPTY(the link is red)
once your in a table, it should on the far top-right of the table.

Duh; My screen didn;t go over that far.

Thanks a million i am going to try it now. . .

Worked like a charm! Thanks

no problem :D

ok, i've installed this hack, realy realy nice one, works like a charm.. kinda until today.

somebody managed to get 1,7milion points in the tetris game.. while the highest thus far nearly 100.000 points was.

Is that 1,7 million possible, or even worse, did he managed to cheat here?

hmm, thats amazing.
Try hovering over the date, and see how long it took him to get that score.

Game Duration: 98 Minutes, 14 Seconds

seems normal, but that score...

and that snowcat's calculation, maybe its usefull:

I cleared that v shaped blockage on level 10. Then it was clear crusing through the last 1000 lines.
math:
1000 lines /3 combos * 250pts avg = 84333 pts (approx)
10 levels * 5000 pts average = 45000 pts (minimum)
45000 level pts + 84333 combo pts = 151333 pts (approx minimum)

still, that makes like 300.000.. still miss like 1,4 million..

wow 98 minutes! that guy must have alot of free time! :)
well he must have done a lot of 4 line combos :D

Nah, you can get that kinda score. Look at my board in the sig...

The way it works is at that level, you can bet between 250-1000 points every drop of the brick. It is actually easier to go for clearing single lines and droping the bricks down.

One of my users has 1.8 million! Took 133 mins.

opera redirects me to the wrong proarcade.php

myhost.org/proarcade.php but it must --> myhost.org/forums/proarcade.php

IE works but opera not

can anyone help please?

this problem is still killing the arcade on my boards. I have uploaded a new proarcade.php, but it still persist. Does anybody know why it would redirect to: http://proarcade.php/ after playing a game instead of letting the user input a comment?

Put this in your main directory and change the settings of the redirect to your path. Mac users will continue to play but cannot comment or enter scores. I have found no way to fix that issue for mac users like me.

But it will not 404 anymoremidnightz

After I installed this hack, once in a while I'll have a lot of guests on from the same hostname which always appear to be in the arcade. This happens even when the actual user is somewhere else, like reading or replying to a thread.

Any ideas why?

Remove the champ icon (crown) from your postbit and it will solve the problem.

Regarding Tetris scores, the highest I've seen are in the 1.6-1.9 million range. Given that they usually occur on my forums from the same people, and with similar durations, I tend to believe that they are real.

Some people just have too much time on their hands... :)

futureal, do you know why after most games I get a "Thank you for playing (gamename here)" but in german? First time members noticed that was with the Ping Pong game addition from your other thread.

I will look into it as I have no time now, but I'd rather have someone with php knowledge tell me :D

In... German?

Man, I got no idea on that one. Did you install some sort of a translation for it? Or maybe it is part of the Ping Pong game?

I have to admit, I really have no clue!

pretty easy really, all thease last games have been ripped from that german game board (link has been added here before) it's not a vbb, and someone sad that they doesn't work on vbb (but they do) I tested 10 of them and 7 was working, that game was one of them ;) and there have been several game added the last few days from that board (like kart racing, shooter and so on)

It doesn't have anything to do with the hack itself, it's the game that does that, someone needs to edit the fla file and change that. And for those of you who took them and didnt give the guy who really modify them SHAME!

I'm supprised i havent seen all of them here yet tho, there is still like 10 games out there that really works on vb arcade 2.0, and all of them work on vb 1.0

Um, excuse me? I think you need to get your facts straight before making accusations. I got Kart Racer (and all other games I posted) from this site:
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/Full_Game_Source/

All games that I released were modified by ME, not that site you mentioned.

My misstake then, it did look to me that this was happening tho
1. a german board have them
2. someone ask why he get german comments

but if you really did modify them yourself then i'm sorry.

1. Lots of boards have working games that they got from that same place (flashkit.com) and they just haven't released them for whatever reason. The only difference between me and them is that I decided to share them with everyone while they choose to keep them for themselves.

2. If a game has german comments its because its written into the game itself, not the code added to make it work with vBulletin proarcade.

I can assure you, all games that I released were modified by me. Also, the shooter game that "The Wedge" released came from flashkit.com aswell. I saw it there when I was looking for games to modify.

Its very easy to modify games to work with vB, so there's really no need for anyone to "rip" pre-modded games from other sites. ;)

any advice would help. does anybody hav an idea why this is happening?

1. I know, most of them comes from those german game boards from the start (they uses a modify version of this arcade hack) and the guy who have modify those games dont have a vbb, so he doesn't come here (thats why they cant be found here) and other vbb has them too, but i guess they dont wanna release somthing they dont have done themself here (or they dont get permission from the guy who did)

2. I know, thats what i was trying to say ;) "someone" have modify it so there is german text insted of "No Comment" (if you dont type any comments. And that only happend with "some" games, the same games that those german boards have modify.

But like i sad, sorry if i was wrong abot you're game, i know 100% that the pinball game that was submitted comes from a german board tho, the guy who submitted it still had that guys name in it (who modify it)

Sorry! no need to keep this up, right? i'm sorry and it was all my fault, and this is why i never types anything :P

Is there a way to prune low scores so they don't take up space in the database? I would onlylike to keep the top 10 scores. . .

Why are people so concerned about the scores taking up too much space in the database? I currently have almost 4,000 scores recorded and it only takes up 366 KB of space. My entire database is 334 MB, so that means the scores are taking up about 0.001% of the entire database.

Has there been any talk about making a vbProArcade addon for the store hack? so that we could charge 25 points a game or what ever the site admin chooses? if they have this hack and the store hack installed?

That's not hard to do. I have mine integrated with my own custom points system. If you like I can put a Store version up if no one has done so (I'm surprised no one has).
