Adding Games
 

I went to the games site you linked, downloaded a game -- uploaded the .swf file to /arcade directory, and the image to arcade/images directory -- yet it doesn't work. Image doesn't show, and games doesn't load, any ideas why? Oh, and I'm adding the game description ect in ACP.

correct gname entered when adding the game manually ?

But it doesn't say what the gname is in the game readme instructions. And yes, I'm getting the games from here http://www.pnflashgames.com/ as well as POSTNUKE format. Any ideas?

gname is the same as whatever the swf file is called and the image files are called.

so if your files are called:

supergame.swf
supergame1.gif
supergame2.gif

your gname is "supergame"

Hope this helps!

Thanks!! However, I just added the 501 Darts game and it doesn't show correctly. I get the following error:

Warning: fopen(arcade/501_Darts.swf.swf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/arcade.php on line 632

Any ideas ?

Did you put gname as "501_Darts.swf" ?

If so change it to "501_Darts" + that should fix your problem.

Done that -- still the same.

Does it say it failed to "arcade/501_Darts.swf.swf" or "arcade/501_Darts.swf" now? If it says the 2nd one make sure it's there in your arcade directory. Otherwise I don't really know why it wouldn't find it :S

Warning: fopen(arcade/501_Darts.swf.swf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/arcade.php on line 632

It is in the correct directory /arcade. I'm not sure why it isn't working. :(

Anyone ?

Hmmm strange. I get that same error when trying to add a game

Warning: fopen(arcade/.swf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/arcade.php on line 632

See my thread here. Could be a duplication key problem or something. I upgraded to the latest version and seem to be having the issue too.

i dunno cause i use only .tar games ... (also i remember with an older version that i've got some troubles with the .zips)

I PM'ed Mr Zeropage but i think he is busy with life. Just gotta wait to hear from him.

Lets hope he's round soon... :)

Anyone? :(

I know you've been busy MrZeropage, with the birth of your new child, and I fully understand, but as you're online, I thought I'd give this a quick "bump". :)

sorry for being busy lately :o


I think you entered the filename as GNAME-variable and also added .swf to it.

the errormessage says that .swf.swf was not found

make sure GNAME is only the main filename without extension :)


PS: child sill not there, being awaited within the next 4-5 weeks

I just downloaded a game called Black Jack. The .swf file is: Black_Jack.swf... for the Gname, I put: Black_Jack -- it just doesn't seem to work, I don't see the image, even though I uploaded. The game however does work. And I uploaded the image to /arcade/images. Also, there is a big blank space at the bottom of the arcade, where the blocks are after adding that game, maybe I just need to add more to fill that space.. I'm stunned. :confused:

PS: Ooops, my bad. Good luck with everything, and I hope you have a wonderful life after the birth of your child. :)

the images are named Black_Jack1.gif and Black_Jack2.gif ?

If you want me to have a look on your site, provide access to AdminCP + FTP via PM and please also refer to this thread...

We installe 501_Darts over at the unix forums arcade (www.unix.com/arcade.php) and noticed that this game does not integrate with the arcade scoring system (does not record scores).

Is this normal for 501 darts or games installed that are not the 8 default ones with the mod?

It records scores fine for my site: http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/arcade.php

Hi mokozi,

Nice arcade.

Question: From where did you download your 501 Darts? We installed ours from pnflashgames and the scores do not record as yours do, as you can see from our arcade scores.

pnflashgames. Just check you downloaded the correct PostNuke version.

Yes, that is the exact same version we installed, pnflashgames.com, PostNuke version.

That version does not save the game scores in our ibp arcade game score tables.

I downloaded and uploaded again to double check. No Joy.

501_Darts.swf.swf sounds like you entered gname-value with .swf at the end, which is wrong ...

You have to put a 2 at the end of the file before the .gif.
rename pacman.gif to pacman2.gif

It worked for us.
Can a moderator put this as solved?

Thanks,
TT

I can upload the game using the manual installation part but the icon for the game doesn't show up in the arcade does anyone know why this is?
