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.

How do you install a hack?

I have

*.gif
*.swf
*.fla

I know where to put the *.gif and *.swf files, but
never seen the *.fla before, where does this go?

I have no idea - maybe it also goes in the games dir?

This is kind of like House of the Dead... Decent Zombie Shooter but you can only go upto 5,000 pts. Perhaps some changes can be made.

This is stupid, i cant attach a simple ZIP FILE... the game is called ALTEX 3 and its on FLASHKIT.com

HVACR... if you read the posts around here a FLA is the ORIGINAL UNCOMPRESSED SWF file. You open a FLA file in FlashMX and you can edit all the properties. A SWF file is what a FLA file is after it has been exported. You dont do anything with FLA files unless you want to make changes to the game.
