John, if I want to put Arcade games on another host, what do I have to do to make the Arcade ok in my main site ?

Is that even possible? I thought it worked together with the Forum software? Sounds like a major re-write of the hack to me.

Man, I just wanted help on what to do. Not for you to do it for me. :P

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. :)

You said in an earlier post "I just wanna know where to put the scripts"....well what else is there? If he tells you where to put everything then he's practically done all the work anyways? And we're all wanting new games quick...so no offense...but I'd rather John put out new ones now instead of waiting for tons of people to figure out how to do it.

I've send John a poker game. Hope he can let it work. I have permission from the author to use it. :)

There's no set rule on where to add the code for games to work in the v3 Arcade. You need to know Flash in order to do it... sometimes entire games are in their own submovies, or others have more difficult ways of defining whether or not the game is over.

It's usually different for every game.

I realy don't know what to do now. I have 30 + topgames..poker, pinball, blackjack, slots, etc. and all of them worked in the arcade. Some have buttons at the right spot so the gameover point of the the game is set already and if they don't have a button the code to launch the score is present (code for the futureal way of setting the score). Some games i can't share because there is no permission untill this day from the author to use them.

With my decompilers i can do a lot but in this arcade they seem useless. It's because the score must span the entire game in a movieclip and that meens gameover so far. If there is a workaround for this then i can go back to work. Altough i want to share every game it will require the skills and time of the members who have the right decompiler to modify the games. As i said...the points in the games are already there so it's just: add 1 layer with 1 movieclip and add the scorelines/gameovercode to the present 'old' futureal code.

I will upload the games and PM/mail John and maybe another skilled flashman with the right decompiler when the games are available. I hope we can modify every one of them. They are awesome.

why not send the files to John, im sure he would do the games for you.

Any way to show which game a person is playing in the arcade via the Who's Online?

? Flash Poker - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=949

john any hope in getting any more of the miniclip.com games have looked at there site and theres a few but i can not find anyway of buying the fla's for them

You'd have to contact them and ask for their permission to use their games.

can someone find a minesweeper game maybe?

here is one at flashkit

Woohoo tons more games. Anyone going to do Jewels?

what is jewels like?

eXtremeTim is working on this I believe.. :)

I see a bug in this game, if you make a convination of (back, forward and loop) the game play solo for ever :D.

You can see the my score of 147 here
my page

I thing that you need to disable the right click menu adding this in the .fla
Stage.showMenu=false;

I put in the template this sentence but in this game no solve the problem
<param name="menu" value="false">


Sorry for my bad bad english :(

defo i bug just tryed it out myself

I didn't read through the entire page but is this add-on hack a bandwidth hog?

If you're going to install a lot of games, obviously it'll use bandwidth when users play.

It's not light on bandwidth, so I only offer the games to my paying members.

john how do you get the games(fla) from miniclip and how much it cost? because that snowboarding game would be great and a few other ones.

I don't, I use a program to convert to .FLA and do it that way. Howeverm, I only do this with Miniclip games that are on the "Free Site Content" page. :)

can you say what the convert software is and i try and help with getting some the free miniclip games working if i can work it out.

It's $100 USD, by the way. The free demo doesn't convert most of the Actionscript.

$100 is not that much when you think of how handy the software would be for people like myself that run a number of sites. incase the fla's are every lost to any of them i be able to get them back from the swf's on the site servers.

Doesn't always work though. Will send you the link.

thanx john

Good grief. This rocks!

*sigh* playing copter and crashing over and over is wasting bandwidth cuz my skin is high graphics...... please someone do me a submit button for copter?

I aint being funny or having a dig or anything, but in the amount of time you've spent asking other people to do this for you, you could have bought a Flash tutorial book, read it 6 times and done the submit button yourself.

John - Could you possibly send me a link to that program too please, i'd like to have a bash at some of this myself. :) For all I know I might even already have the program somewhere on a disk, but won't know till I go check it out. :)

Agreeing with Detomah...and also asking "Why don't you use the first version of copter that John released?" Yo know...the one with the "submit" button...

Madcat, if you haven't guessed, no-one is going to do it for you. Try offering $$$ or do it yourself.

Madcat will not use the original because it is not coloured, and is different. Also she has offered money for someone to do it if you go look ;) And finally, Madcat if its eating up your BW because of your skin, thats got nothing to do with the arcade, its a risk you take for having a heavily graphic'd skin

Mindtrix is right. Graphical skins kill bandwidth fast. Its would be better just to use some simple html or javascript effects if you can.

Because I hate it.... period.

Beggars can't be choosers.

:) well said.
