im going to install this now!!!!!

is there to have it to save highest scores

I'm not even going to answer that :p

Edit: Finished Store Addon :)
Edit 2: Finished Non-Store version! :)

Finished!

Updated my hack - totally improved it and changed it into a Flash Game and Movie Player!!! :)

This hack can now play ANY Flash movie or game.

It is now called the vB Flash Player - Play Any Flash Game or Movie in vB (including Tetris!)

Go to the first post to download the updated ZIP.

All you need to do is create 2 templates, and upload 1 file, and you're done.

Then, to play any Flash SWF Game or Movie inside your forum:

1) Upload the SWF file to your forum directory.

2) Link to this URL:

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=xxxx

xxxx being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)


For example, with this hack I've included the Tetris SWF file that was included in my original tetris hack - I realize that with some modification of that hack, you can play ANY SWF file without need for making new templates or php files.

So if you upload tetris.swf to your forums directly, you link to this URL:

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=tetris

The Tetris Flash Game will play integrated into your forums.

This works for any Flash game or Movie. Just put the name of the file without the .swf extension, and your forum will play the game or movie!

If you have installed my old tetris hack, just delete the tetris.php and "tetris" template, and install this hack, which is better and lets you play other Flash games AND MOVIES too!

Enjoy!

Nice :) - the problem is that most of the Flash games I find are copyrighted :'(

thanks for yer time and for coding a leaderboard JW

i cant wait till you release it

:)

Thanks :) - the non-store version should be ready in 1-2 hours

Thanks again John. (And you too Erwin!!!). We should all go out and find SWF files that we share throughout Vbulletin so we can each have our own little arcade. I would love more then anything to have Mario Brothers on my site. :)

You'll see in the hack that I've done that very thing - I can expand it to any number of games :)

I'm already working on pool/billards (yes, two player!)!

A Flash 2-player chess game I found - it's not very good - but I have posted it here so that you can test out my vB Flash Player hack. When I say 2-player, I mean literally, another player sitting next to you. :) I think this one is public domain.

Just download chess2.txt and RENAME it to chess2.swf (I cannot attach SWF here for some reason), then upload it into your forum directory.

To play it in your forums, link to this URL (changing it to match your forum directory):

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=chess2

:)

Any more better Flash games, please post here and share.

TWO PLAYERS?!

*head explodes*

Yeah... with 2 player, I mean online gaming. elecrotank.com style!

LOL! Calm down - you need 2 players to play chess. ;) The chess2.swf game I attached does not have a built-in computer opponent.

Like I said, it's bad, but it's a testing Flash game. :)

ehhe, erw

i meant the two player pool game (or any game for that matter) that could be played against each other

my members might go as far as to perform sexual favors for this kind of addition

lol!!

Great hack Erwin, well done.

Thanks Lesane.

There you go, people. You can integrate all these games into your site with ONE hack. :D

Nice one Lesane!

After I finish this (in a few hours) I'm going to start working on the "arcade" hack :)

John, how is your leaderboard hack going to integrate with Erwin's vBFlashPlayer??

It's not

lol, for public or personal? :D

anyway good job! I wonder if is it possible for any of us can add more games thur store or not by look thur your hack and add other games ourselves (I m speaking about regular, not PHP experience like you)

I'm going to be making a hack that does something like that, yes.

Basically, you can upload .swf files through your admin panel, and set it all up from there without altering any templates or files. More on that later..

Public of course :D

imho, Erwin and you deserve to get "Hacker of the month" this month. This thread have only three days and already excessive views compare to others.

Members here are watchful of waht you and Erwin plans :D (in other word... your lfe is invading!) j/k :P

Sorry for the delay everyone, had a major bug in the code. (Now fixed it)

Still typing out those instructions!

Releasing the new leaderboard hack in 30 minutes or so...

Looking great indeed. Very well done, both of you. :)

Looking forward to the leaderboard...

Holy ++++ man. I would love to see alot of arcade games integrated with the Store hack. That would be very very awesome. I would pay big bucks for something kool like that. I can't wait man.

I would pay for that as well , I think you guys that do this for free should at least get some kind of pay pal accounts for those of us that apprecieate your work enough to pay donations for your hard work.

I do have a paypal account - John@eovie.com

Send money!

Edit: Just testing it all now, then I'm posting :)

will send a few bucks tonight

go have a pint on me!

Thanks! :banana: (lol, that banana cracks me up!)

Maybe this'll start a trend ;)

It's no big deal for me... I make up hacks like this for my own forums all the time... it only takes a bit of effort to release them to all of you. :)

I basically only come up with hacks that I want but no one else seem to have made, so I figure out a way to do it myself. I release them because I know that there would be people out there in my shoes who may be looking for something similar.

My satisfaction comes hearing the positive feedback and nice comments. Thanks for the kind words.

Send me Erwin's money! ;)

I do have a paypal account, but I suggest you save up your money to invest in your own forums. :) And thanks for the thought.

It's 4 am here so I'm going to bed now. Catch up with things in 3 hours when I wake up to go to work... :D

Night mate :D

Taking screenshots now!

John, check you're paypal later ;)

Thanks.
