vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development

vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development Thread

This thread is intended to provide support for those who wish to find new games for their Arcades, or wish to assist in the development of new games for vbProArcade, or wish to modify existing, open-source Flash games for use with vbProArcade.

Note to vbulletin.org moderators: I could not find an appropriate place for this thread, other than the Beta Hacks forum, so here it is. If you feel this should be moved somewhere else, by all means do so. An additional reason I posted it here was because, to my knowledge, only registered users can view this thread, which may contain hack code at one point or another.

For the hack itself, you will need to see this thread. The Flash Development thread that you see here is just that, and should only be for the discussion of creating/modifying games to work with vbProArcade. Any discussion of or support for the hack itself will be conducted in the other thread.

For documentation on how to modify a game to work with vbProArcade, please see the vbProArcade documentation, which will always be contained in this post. I will try and update this post whenever I update the documentation itself.

A list of current games can you find in the second post.

Before you modify ANY game's source or post it here, you must MAKE SURE that you have the author's permission to modify and redistribute the code, compiled or otherwise.

As games are modified and posted, I will update this post to list them, so that people running vbProArcade may find and install them more easily.

Futureal - instead of me browsing through 8 pages are there any confirmed games that work other than the default one's you made ?

hi all, I am having troubles adding simon and hexagon to vbproarcade beta2 using the admin CP.

it keeps coming back with the following error whenever the game is complete:


"vbProArcade Error: Invalid game name specified (todo: put something pretty here later)"


the values for hexxagon that i am using in the admin cp are as follows:

game identifier: hexxagonFinal
score return variable: $hexxagonscore
game hash offset: 5
html code for game:

<object classid="clsid:27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="400" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="$vpa_gameurl?location=$vpa_bburl&gamename=$game&gamehash=$gamehash&s=$session[sessionhash]&username=$username&highscore=$highscore&bbtitle=$bbtitle">
<param name=loop value=false>
<param name=menu value=false>
<param name=quality value=high>
<param name=bgcolor value=#000000>
<embed src="$vpa_gameurl" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="500">
</embed></object>

any suggestions on how to get this working would be rgeatly appreciated

problem fixed. I ended up adding it manually via running the following sql statement that futunreal posted (i think he was the one who posted it):

INSERT INTO arcadegames VALUES (NULL, 'hexxagonFinal', 'Hexxagon', 'Try to get the most stones.', 'hexxagonFinal.swf', 'hexxagon.gif', 'GIF89a\0\0?\0\0\0u?\0n?\0n?\0m?\0g?\0f?\0g?\0f?\0a?\0`?\0`?\07m\03g\03f\00`\06\0=\09\0\Z3\0

and it works now. Not sure why i couldnt get it working via the admin cp (had no problems with simon says).

one thing that did throw me is that it doesnt add the score unless you fill in/complete the entire board. I sat there testing it for ages trying to figure out why my score wasnt being added :speechless:


anyway, i hope the above helps anyone else who was having simular problems

[N9ne]

Mist: HeXXaGoN and Simon Says are the only extra games that are working currently.

[Kars10]

@ N9ne, and where can we get the other games?

By Other Games, what do you mean? Hexxagon and Simon Says? Those two are in this thread somewhere.

Other games do not work with the arcade yet...we're all eagerly awaiting someone to make them work

[Ice Effect69]

If someone can tell me how to edit the games, i will be more than happy to do a few

Yes i mean that both games.
Simon Sayz is running great, but Hexxagon are with some bugs.
When i finished a game it dosen?t add the scores !

[Kars10]

Stop! Bug in "Simon Says"

...the Game dosent show in the User-Detail-Pages.
