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.

I can try and get it to work, in a little while, no promises though, I'm a n00b at Flash.

I modified this game to work, although it's an extremely boring game, it's the easiest one I could find so far (most of these games are just terribly unorganized!)

It'd be easiest to add through the admin cp as previously described.

The hash is 5
The scrore variable is: $wordscore
The HTML can be copied from any of the original games (it can be found in the orginal zip docs)

Installed and working....nice work....and yes like Jakor Sevel had said, it may be boring for some people, but definatly appreciated. It's another game for the list...keep em coming vbulletin.org :classic:

Great job!

is there any image available for word drop by chance?

thanks in advance :classic:

Okay, for everyone trying to make a game, I know how:

Once you find the place to add the code supplied change
scorevariable = score;
to
gamenamescore = score;
not
scorevariable = gamenamescore;

That'll fix any problems with an empty scoreboard after a gameover... it took me awhile to fix it... Great hack.

here's one I made a minute ago.

Notice: I did not make this game, however, I did edit to work with vBproArcade. The source file came from http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...908/index.php.

I added the game directly through the Admin CP, instead of using a MySQL Query, it goes much faster that way.

Here is the info:
Game Identifier: xsnake
Game Title: Xnake (you can change this, I just thought it sound cool, lol)
Game Description: Extreme Snake!
Filename: xsnake.swf
Game Has Offset: 5
Score Return Variable: $xnakescore
HTML Code for Game:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="380">
<param name="movie" value="$vpa_gameurl?location=$vpa_bburl&gamename=$game&gamehash=$gamehash&s=$session[sessionhash]&username=$username&highscore=$highscore&bbtitle=$bbtitle">
<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="550" height="380">
</embed></object>

Since people are actually using it, I modified word drop again to include more words. The original file only had about 7 words or so. I also included the fla if anyone wants to add more words. It's a very well commented flash file.

I also did not write the game and got it from the same source the user above used.
