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 don't think it explains how to get to the place to add the code.

[xxskullxx]

That would be dependant on the game....

[bgtking]

But what would you do? How do you get to the source code of the fla file?

That's because every game is different. The source code is in the .fla file.

vbProArcade Flash Game: Hexxagon

Version:

1.0 I guess.

Compatibility:

- vbProArcade Beta 2
- vbProArcade Beta 1 (Not tested but most likely)

Original Credits:

Paul Neave, http://www.neave.com/webgames/

Other Information:

Included in the zip is the executable (.swf) file, a crappy image I made to use in the main arcade screen and a new crappy crown image. I did not modify the game but a member on my forums did.

Installation
1. Upload the file hexxagonFinal.swf to your games directory.

2. Execute the following query:

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO arcadegames VALUES (NULL, 'hexxagonFinal', 'Hexxagon', 'Try to get the most stones.', 'hexxagonFinal.swf', 'hexxagon.gif', 'GIF89a\0\0?\0\0\0u?\0n?\0n?\0m?\0g?\0f?\0g?\0f?\0a?\0`?\0`?\07m\03g\03f\00`\06\0=\09\0\Z3\0

That's because every game is different. The source code is in the .fla file.

But how do you get the source code of the file? In FlashMX, all I see the is the game split up into frames.

mv540, I had this same problem for the longest time. And I only figured it out yesterday (go figure). Go into your modify games area of the admin cp, go to the hexxagon game, and check the game variables and such. Also, I suggest changing the HTML to the same settings as Breakout or one of the other games (doesn't matter, they're all basically the same). That fixed one problem I had, then check the score variable, and change it to something like, $hexxagonscore

If it still doesn't work I'll take a screenshot for you and then you can see mine and see what's up.

thanks for the reply...stand by as i give er a whirl...

[mv540]

ok i tried what you instructed, i took the HTML code from breakout and set the path to $hexxagonscore...still doesnt record...hmm this is a tricky one....simon says installed flawlessly through my admin cp by selecting add game..this one seems alittle more challenging....

what else would you suggest?

thanks again in advance Lord Xain
