Did you change the score return variable or the hash offset for any of the Flash games?

If not, give me a URL that I can look at to see if I can determine what the problem might be.

Nope, didn't change anything...

heres the url:
http://www.procreatica.com/forum/proarcade.php
you can use username: test password: test

Don't worry bout it if ya dont see anything wrong, im gunna spend my evening combing through those instructions to make sure nothing went wrong with the uninstall or the install.. The arcade will work!

Savant: Did you replace the old versions of the games with the new versions?

If that isn't it, find the line near the top of proarcade.php that says something like $vpadebug = "off" and change that to "on" and then let me know and I'll look again.

To all:

I am leaving right now for the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and will not be back consistently until around the 14th or 15th of the month. I will TRY to stop in when I can usually my cell modem and notebook, but I make no guarantees.

So, until then, good luck with the hack and I hope you all enjoy it.

hmm well i made sure i have the new games on there... I'm perplexed, thanks for the help...

I turned on the debug mode... I hope whatever solution we find helps others :P thanks again!

Man, that is weird. The game is returning the wrong hash, completely. I can't think of a reason why that be.

I have to jet out of here right now. I will try and figure it out and get back to you.

Good luck.

edit: Upon further inspection, the hash that is going to the game does not match the one that is being pulled back from the database. I can think of no reason why this would occur, and it's the first time that I've seen it. If anybody else sees this same sort of behavior, it might be back to the proverbial drawing board for this hack. heh

welp, as a temporary bandaid, in proarcade.php, i changed this:

// now, we check gamehash
if ($newhash == $hashcheck) {

to this:

// now, we check gamehash
if ($newhash == $newhash) {

and that'l at least get the games working for now. The good news is the records scores and everything else seems to be in order :) thanks again futureal!

Ops, dunno, but it only worked one time, now i have a problem:

Mv VB is located in <domain>/vbulletin
I call Arcade via <domain>/vbulletin/proarcade.php

All works, but after a game is finished, i get an 404, in the URL-Field i see that <domain>/proarcade.php is requested, but thats located in <domain>/vbulletin/proarcade.php (there i actually call it)...

How can i fix that, any ideas :( ?

Yep, it works OK for me, but some of my users get the 404 error. I'll try Savant's fix for now.

Nice hack though!

Evils1, please let me know, Savants fix solved the problem 4 ya.

Thanx
