this is awesome!!!! love the hack john great work

Wow, I just read this whole thing. My plan is to install it soon and then come back here immediately and complain about something ;) j/k

Now, to the reason I'm posting:
Someone made a suggestion about "pay to play"; but they were thinking arcade style .50 per play, etc. While that would probably rack up the cash, it really wouldn't give too many reason to play these old school games when they're available for free elsewhere, despite them possibly being loyal. My suggestion: they might be willing to pay a subscription fee much easier. Since John said he'll be incorporating usergroup permissions into the games, you can use that along with vb3's integrated subscription system to give users access to games for certain periods of time. Makes it simple for them (probably cheaper too), but you'll most likely get a better response as well. Just my 2c.

Can someone start a separate thread and just write descriptions for these games for people who aren't familiar with them?

I saw both John and futureal mention something about BBS games (futureal said he would try to incorporate them in a java-based way), but you both seem to be familiar with them - can either of you PM me a site or two that might have these? I'm a huge fan of some of those back in the day and am looking for a few that I've lost along the way.

One other thing - do these games all come with playing instructions?

Thanks to anyone who can help answer my questions.

Turn it off in game settings, or delete its row in the games table of the database.

thx john, deleted it from db, for some reason i had 2 same games, reinstalled working fine

thx

GREAT HACK

Any chance you release this as HTL file???

how do i change the dimensions for the games?

Right: I had a query about my addon for Erwin's Flash Player working for this hack and the short answer is Yes it will work.

The longer answer is that it is not currently integrated in any way into your database of games - so this will not (currently) populate from your list of activated games (as I understand this hack to have this functionality), ut it will populate automatically a list of games that are in your forumroot/games folder.

It could easily be updated to integrate into this hack: if it's wanted or needed, please post in my Addon thread and I'll get onto it ... what I would probably do is add a AdminCP Settings page, to allow you to specify whether you are using Erwin's hack or v3 Arcade (which would then determine which auto-populate function to use), and to specify the full path to you games directory in there ...

Interested parties come and spam on my addon thread :p

Fantastic work! Installed flawlessly on RC3, not what's this NetPlay I keep hearing about? :)

Next version will be provided as an HTL file.

Search thread. ;)
