v3 Arcade - Game Modification Guide & Releases
![]() How v3 Games Work v3 Arcade games are a little different to those in the original Arcade and futureal's proArcade. Instead of a simple getURL which sends all of the variables to the next page, the v3 Arcade uses a completely different system - a series of sendAndLoad events where data is sent and received between the Flash file and vBulletin. As a result, converting games for the v3 Arcade is a little more complicated. To get games working with the v3 Arcade, a piece of code needs to be inserted which will run on every frame of the Flash movie. (I.e. one looped movieclip which is active across all frames.) A variable also needs to be set to tell the v3 Arcade code when to end the game. EDIT: INSTRUCTIONS UPDATED TO MAKE THE PROCESS A LOT EASIER! Converting Games Converting a game is quite simple, providing you have some basic knowledge of Flash. Step 1. Create a blank movie clip, containing two keyframes. Step 2. On frame 1 of this blank movieclip, insert this code (not forgetting to change the gamename value to something unique - THIS PRESUMES THAT _root.score CONTAINS THE SCORE VALUE!): Code:
// HERE THE ARCADE SESSION IS INITIATED // DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE GAMENAME VALUE! if (this.sessionstarted != 1) { this.arcade = new LoadVars(); this.sessionvars = new LoadVars(); this.arcade.gamename = "towerball"; this.arcade.sessdo = "sessionstart"; this.arcade.sendAndLoad("arcade.php", sessionvars, "POST"); this.sessionstarted = 1; } // IF GAMEOVER=1, SUBMIT THE SCORE AND REDIRECT THE PAGE if (_root.gameover == 1) { if ((this.askpermission != 1) && (this.sessionvars.connStatus == 1)) { this.prequestvars = new LoadVars(); this.pranswer = new LoadVars(); this.prequestvars.gametime = this.sessionvars.gametime; this.prequestvars.fakekey = this.sessionvars.initbar; if (_root.score == 0) { this.prequestvars.score = -1; } else { this.prequestvars.score = _root.score; } this.prequestvars.id = this.sessionvars.lastid; this.prequestvars.sessdo = "permrequest"; this.prequestvars.note = (this.prequestvars.id*this.prequestvars.score*this.prequestvars.fakekey); this.prequestvars.sendAndLoad("./arcade.php", this.pranswer, "POST"); this.askpermission = 1; } if ((this.pranswer.validate == 1) && (this.finalsent != 1)) { this.burnscore = new LoadVars(); this.burnscore.microone = this.pranswer.microone; this.burnscore.gametime = this.prequestvars.gametime; this.burnscore.id = this.prequestvars.id; if (_root.score == 0) { this.burnscore.noscore = 1; } this.burnscore.sessdo = "burn"; this.burnscore.send("./arcade.php", "_self", "POST"); this.finalsent = 1; } } Now, you need to let the game know when to finish the game and redirect the page. This is done by the setting of a new variable, "gameover". When _root.gameover==1, the game will end. Find the frame of the "Game Over" page, and add this actionscript to the frame: Code:
_root.gameover=1; ![]() Releasing Games When releasing a game, please try to stick to the same format as the other games provided below. (I.e. with the installation script.)

Ibproarcade very clearly stated that if you host game files on your site you will be banned. You knew about it. You broke the rule. Now you pay. If I was hosting ibproarcade games on my site, I WOULD BE BANNED. Duh!! No Clue at all! |

I have been flooded with emails. I did not expect this big of a response. Because of this, I have changed the rules a bit.
If you wish access, you only need to send me a pm on www.v3arcade.com I must have the following information: Your website address Your email address (this is when I will send the information to) The password you wish to use. |

<font color="Blue">V3ARCADE v IBPROARCADE?</font>
Have any users tried both these systems? If so, do you have a preference? I've installed the latter, and I'm having a few teething problems - I'm wondering if I should remove it, and try this one instead, which incidentally, looks a lot prettier IMHO. Thanks Jay |

You forgot to add the following notice from your site.

In the next few days there will be 800+ games to download. Click below and Order the "Arcade Download" Subscription You may also download these games with either of the two "Premium Members" subsciptions http://internetjunkie.org/subscriptions.php? ------------------------------ If you are willing to provide all the games for me to upload, I'll host them at no charge to EVERYONE regardless of bandwidth cost to me. |
