Update to version 1.3 - the ability to set different background colors for different games

Using the &b= variable at the end of the command URL. If you don't include this, the background color will default to your forum page background color.

Current Parameters:
--------------------------

play = name of SWF file (without the .swf extension - make sure the capitals and small letters are the same!)
w = width of Flash movie or game
h = height of Flash movie or game
b = background color of Flash movie or game (in hex WITHOUT the # - eg. 000000 for black or FFFFFF for white)

To use default width and height is 600 x 400, or default background color which is your forum background color -
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

To set your own width or height:
http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename&w=1024&h=768&b=000000

To upgrade to version 1.3 - download the ZIP file.
Replace the flash.php with the new one.
Replace the "flash" template with the new one.

well for tetris i want to put a intro image that will fade out as the game begins. it will replace the current one.

There is a tetris.fla file in this thread - just browse through it. :)

yea the version of tetris i had didn have that file.

Any of the masta hackaz in here plan to create a score board for sniper, frogger, samurai games?

You cannot modify the Snipers and Samurai games because they are not public domain - you can let your members play them, but do not modify them unless the game authors give you permission.

Frogger is public domain, and thus can be modified. John.eovie can probably do it. He's done it with a few other public domain arcade games already.

What is the news on the tetris for the store?

Well, john.eovie has got it running on his site already. Please ask him in his tetris thread. :)

This is my FAVORITE Hack here!! Having Games at a gaming forum has really rounded out the experiance, and my members absolutely love it!! Simple installation, with absolutely NO problems!! I wish there were more hacks like this, fun, functional, and easy...

Maybe you should try my hack, it gives you a neat gallery with all the games you have on your site. Much simpler than making HTML links for each new game.
