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 wassnt suppose to add any of my modifyed games here (cuz they all sucks) but i changed my mind, so here is the last of 3 i have modifyed. In the zip you will get:

modifyed game
thumb pic
king icon
readme file

In the readme file you will see both a manual install and a Query for those of you who have problems to install the games manual.

Special note about this game:
This game has already been modify by one of those german boards, but that version DOESN'T work on vb 2.0, thats why i modify it myself

Your query is giving me problems.....is it parsing correctly in notepad?

[joecool]

Copy the code from the readme file and past it in php my admin, it suppose to work. If anyone else have probs with the query please let me know. btw did the other work?

btw you didnt do all those other steps if you used the query, right? cuz then you would already have all that

I edit Star Flight too, i really liked that game but it was some stuff i didnt like with the released version so i d/l the fla and edit it, this is what you get that you didnt get in the other one

You wont need to type in that anoying name/email thing in the start, and you will be able to save you're score when the game ends.

yeh, thats it :P and if you have the old one and wanna use this one you need to edit the " Score Return Variable" to $score

and you will get this in the zip:
- modifyed game
- thumb pic
- king icon
- readme file

you have added wrong "Score Return Variable"

[Erwin]

Removing the mini scoreboard only takes away 1 query for each game or so. It's the small scores next to the game names that takes about 4 queries each game.

[Jakor Sevel]

no i didn't joe, you HAVE to play at least one round for it to score. Can't just hit submit. If it still doesn't work, then it's not the file or the score variable, it's you, lmao. Cause i copy pasted it straight from my admincp.

edit: and a tip joe, don't make the readme files like that, just provide the info in a short list, it's much easier. I think everyone knows where to go to add a game and such.

No, I didn't do any other steps, as the only way I can install games is via an SQL query. I ran the Query directly from the Admin CP and it didn't work.
