Very fun and cool game, much better than smashing penguin.

So do you have the source file or were you just informing us that you like the game?

Where is the hack to install the Arcade itself for VB3? I see all the games, but not the Arcade hack itself.

CAN SOMEONE EDIT THE PENGUIN GAME

everyone has got 3235 which is the max score so there really is no point of playing it again !

Duh, thanks! I'm not usually that stupid. This blasted cold is kicking my butt. By the way, great hack John!

yeh whats the point of that :mad:

same here, it is a pity :(

Good point. Any ideas? No matter what, there's always got to be a top score...

Yeah I noticed that. :/

It could do with being changed so that it does something along the lines of taking the points from 10 shots that go to make up the overall score, then it auto submits that score. That way it would make it much more difficult to get everyone getting the maximum score as virtually nobody would get 3235 ten times on the trot. :)

I tried opening a .swf file at miniclip.com that was available for download into my Flash MX program. But I says that I cannot open a protected movie file or whatever. Can someone help?

It has to be in the .fla format to edit the game if I read right, that's what makes it so difficult to find a load of new games, as most game makers want you to pay for the privledge of using and editing their games. :)

Darn. Is there a way to convert the games or a place that someone can suggest where .fla games are available for download? :D

Miniclip games are ok and copyright protected but there are many other good games with no copyright claim because the author never thought it could be opened and used in this way. If they aren't respond to mail with questions about the use on other places then i'm sorry but then the game will be in the arcade if i can modify it. These games aren't commercial so the author has no financial loss if some forums have them to play with. I understand that the towerball game will have claims that it is owned by *** but the swf is on the web and is shared with no awareness about copyright.

New game: Disco Racer

Installation
Well... You know the drill...

Okay, this game doesn't correctly record the amount of time that was spent playing, and I know why, but I'm having trouble with thinking of a way of correcting it. Anyway, if I ever get it fixed, I'll let you know and upload a new .SWF.

[Edit: Oh, and here's a screenshot.]
[Edit: Okay, the SWF's been fixed.]
[Edit: 1/29/04, 11:19 CST: Okay, fixed the problem with the wrenches.]

Personally, I'm just happy seeing new games being added on a regular basis.
Thanks!

No problem. :D

Okay, I just fixed the time problem, so if anyone else has downloaded it, you can re-download the zip and replace the SWF if you want to.

Thanks for the release BillaBongUSA - installed on www.v3arcade.com and working fine. :)

Detomah: I could probably make that change to the Penguin game, but I'm not sure where to find the source. If someone has it, by all means let me know. I am hesistant to decompile anything and I can't find the original authors for it.

John, I've been trying to catch up by reading the posts one by one. Did you say you were going to make it so only certain groups could access the Arcade or is it already in the zip?

New game: Joust

Installation
Well... You know the drill...

It's kinda crappy, but it's Joust nonetheless. As you can see in the screenshot, this game doesn't really fit in the table of the default style, but the game doesn't look good at sizes smaller than that due to the scanline effect that it's got.

Yep, allowing access to certain user groups is already a feature in v3 Arcade. :)

great new games guys :) cheers for all the hard work and effort :)

Thanks for the quick reponse BillaBongUSA. I was reading so much of the old stuff, my eyes were starting to cross.

One of my members brought this up, the wrenches in Disco Racer do not calculate any points at all. Can someone fix this?

Ah, found the problem... The game was coded by someone who spoke German, so some of the words in the code had strange characters in them. Anyway, I updated the SWF in the zip again, the wrenches should now add to your score.

instead of just a next button mate on disco racer how about play again and a next button... ps i see the race bit but not much disco LOL

Was going to mention this. :) In Disco racer, there is a couple of things that i'd like to possibly get added if the know how is there.: ) Would it be possible to make the game something like 3 or 5 mins long instead of 1, it'd make it so much more playable. also as corsa mentioned is there any chance to add a play again button as it's an awfully long winded process to start again if you crash into the first car you see. I was going to mention the wrentchs, but already dealt with. :)

futureal - I'm not sure who actually added the Penguin game in the first place to be honest, but i'll try and track them down and get them to pass the .fla file onto you so it can be improved. :)

FAO Mars Rover Editor - That game has some serious potential, I found a couple of problems with it though, after getting to lvl 10 I found the speed of the incoming missile things had still not got any quicker (think you already knew of that one), I also found that when the game ended, you get to submit your score, but it then cam up on screen that you did not have permission to add the score, so in the high score table it looked like nobody had ever played, but if you looed at the high score table on the game over screen you saw lots of people had played, so I presume it's a slight bug with the score submission system in that game.

Does anyone have the .fla file for Maeda path, I want to use that game but there is no point with it having such a huge bug in it. Basically all you have to do is click on the arrow at the start of the level, then leave the play area, then click on the end of level arrow to complete each level, which is basically no fun at all and it kind of takes the challange out of it. So if anyone has the .fla for it i'll have a go at doing that one. :)

I'm still confused on how to put in keyframes and add the stuff since I've been trying to work on Funky Pong.

Also, shouldn't the first post of this thread be update with the new games? :P

Joust is severly buggy, and always has been..
The game randomly restarts itself and there are several graphical problems.. It's really not worth the effort.. ;)

I dunno, Joust works fine for me except for the fact that the bird sometimes gets stuck when you try to wrap around from the top left corner to the top right corner.

Oh, and I've looked at all of the suggestions for Disco Racer, and I'll work on them in a little while. But I dunno, one minute already seems like a long time to play it, but if anyone else wants the time to be extended, I guess I can change it.

Can someone help me? I'm trying to convert the game Funky Pong for v3 Arcade. But the instructions on the first page confuse me, sadly enough. So I took a screenshot of the open document and was wondering if someone could show me where to put the coding show in the first post of this thread?

Email the fla to john@eovie.co.uk and I'll take a look. I think someone sent it to me before, but my server has been down for a while (including all the email on it).

New game, as promised:

? Hexxagon - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=938

I don't want it converted for me. I just want to know where I'm supposed to put the scripts. But I will send it anyway.

Doesn't matter, I found the FLA.

And here it is:

It may be a little crude, but my users will love this game. :D
