No, not yet. The next batch of features will come all at once.

Also, I have to work to survive. As much time as I do spend on this, I need to get other stuff done - apart from the game conversions, bug fixes, installation support, etc. for the Arcade. The hack has only been released for a few days, give me a chance.

take your time i am in no rush
but do you have some kind of idea of what the new features well be, or are you thinking as you go?

EDIT: one of my staff has asked me some thing..
i am going to turn on the auto pruning on for every 30 days

and they asked if there is was a way to have it post the top 5 socore for each game in a certin thread or forum id before it prunes the scores

Yep, I have a list.

There's always a way, as long as you know how to code it.

I thought I better bring it to the attention of everyone that one of my members has somehow found a cheat for Asteroids and for Helicopter.

I am not totally sure how he's doing it, but it's so blatently obvious that he's doing it it's unreal.

Spot the cheat:




For those who did not spot it, look at the times for Skan0r. It may not seem too extreme but it like this for him on ever game where he has become leader. His times are 3 and 4 times longer than anyone else. I don't think it can be put down to him having loo breaks either.

As I said I'm not sure exactly how it's being done, but I do think it may have something to do with having the right click options available.

Is anyone else having a similar problem to this? I really don't think it's just me going crazy? Is it? If someone else is suffering this, is there anyway you figured to stop it and what exactly is it he's doing?

John - Any luck figuring out anything that could be causing scores to not be submited?


Want to see one of my Chopper Challenge scores?
Code:

3        squall14716        2044        The crown is mine, +++++.          8:27pm Jan 19        4091 secs
Anyways, I've installed every modified game to date. One game that I'd like modified is "Alien Attack". I'll grab an .fla and post it in a few minutes or something. I tried it myself with little luck (not that I had luck doing it for ProArcade either...).

At the end of the level there is a little arrow you can click on for a bonus. There is nothing at all to stop anyone from just repeated clicking on that and getting absolutely huge scores. :/

I've tested the exploit and it is there. Anyway to fix it?

John - With regards to my earlier post including that possible fault, the common connection is that it's happening to people who beat the high score on games (not every time though, it's happened roughly 22 times from over 20,000 game plays). I managed to replicate it myself while I was checking the bug mentioned above.

By the way, Maeda Path has been updated. (Just download the zip again and overwrite the swf file.)

22 errors in 20,000 game sessions, that's 0.01% of all scores. It could be packet loss - it happens. You were lucky to manage to replicate it. (I've been unable to.)

Either way, arcade.php has been updated in the zip - I suggest you update, it might help. (It'll stop the database errors.)

As for the bug in my mini_stats. The problem has been resolved. Please download the new instructions and rehack. Delete what you added into arcade.php before and add the new code. Cheers.

Either there's still a bug, or it was reporting the wrong stuff before because acording to the first rev I should have been almost at 2 days, then it went down to just over 1 and now it's still around there. So, which was correct?

I added multiple half hour sessions at a time and measured the time updates each time, and with the new algorithm, the results looked spot on for me.

The old one was very, very, wrong though.
