Running the file from your browser won't work. It gives an php error. Best thing to do is upload it in admincp/games and go to Game Tools and click on "Start" under "v3 Arcade - Mass Game Import". That will import the game into the database.

Does anyone know if the game Party Animal is converted, and were I can get it?

Oh, and rjordan, thanks for the Ice Age games, they're cool!

Just for the sheer challenge and curiosity I've been trying to get a game of frogger to work in v3. So I started by first looking at the code used with the already included games in the v3 Arcade package. I noticed that the code example given in this thread are seperated.

if (_root.sessionstarted != 1)
{
    _root.arcade = new LoadVars();
    _root.sessionvars = new LoadVars();
    _root.arcade.gamename = "Game Name";
    _root.arcade.sessdo = "sessionstart";
    _root.arcade.sendAndLoad("arcade.php", sessionvars, "POST");
    _root.sessionstarted = 1;
} // end if

I found the above code usualy placed where the game begins playing.

if (this.askpermission != 1 && _root.sessionvars.connStatus == 1)
{
    this.prequestvars = new LoadVars();
    this.pranswer = new LoadVars();
    this.prequestvars.gametime = _root.sessionvars.gametime;
    this.prequestvars.fakekey = _root.sessionvars.initbar;
    if (_root.score == 0)
    {
        this.prequestvars.score = -1;
    }
    else
    {
        this.prequestvars.score = _root.score;
    } // end else if
    this.prequestvars.id = _root.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;
} // end if
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;
    } // end if
    this.burnscore.sessdo = "burn";
    this.burnscore.send("arcade.php", "_self", "POST");
    this.finalsent = 1;
} // end if

and I found the above code just like it is mentioned in this tutorial somewhere in a clip. But the placement of the above code eludes me. I'm a novice to flash animation and not sure how these clips are placed. I didnt notice a cominality.


and finaly I cant find "_root.gameover=1;" anywhere.

Seems a lot of work. Now I found a set of instructions on how to make a game work for IPBA, which consits of 3 lines of code.

Since v3 Supports IPBA games, should I go through the trouble of trying to figure out how to convert a game with the above code? or try the IPBA code?

Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd like to eventually help out by converting games, so I'm trying to learn.

At the same time, I contacted a friend of mine in the U.K. and have passed information onto him to convert he's game for v3 Arcade.

Will post it here when its ready.
