vB Tetris v2.5 | Leaderboard, Comments and High Score System v2.5 :)

hack removed, someone please delete this thread.

Apparently the 6 days solid I spend supporting this wasn't good enough (not to mention the 65 page total).

Thanks

Great hack Erwin! When I was interested in the whole RPG thing with the store / hp-mp / class hacks, I was going to do a whole battle system in Shockwave but I stopped working on it after I realised that it's pointless for a message board to have one.

One bug and three suggestions though:
1) The score does not get recorded if you pass level 10.

2) The game should scale past 10 levels by increasing speed or maybe adding new patterns?. My geeky members beat it many times already lol.

3) Maybe one recording of a high score per person? If it's higher, then it updates the old highest score for that user. That way more people can be displayed in the hall of fame.

4) Also, a member suggested maybe being able to edit your comment.

Keep up the great work!

*cough* wasn't Erwin's hack, but never mind *cough*

I?m glad it works for you

I never anticipated the problems that this or the other hack would cause ? although most people seem to be able to install successfully first time, there are a few who keep on having problems.

Although I enjoy releasing my hacks to the public, I don?t have the time to give constant tech support. The main problem is that the few members who are having problems have issues that are beyond my capabilities to solve, and there?s nothing I can do.

Because of this, I?m debating whether I should release my latest add-ons for this (including the store hack version) seeing as the original hack doesn?t even work for everyone yet. If someone can help shed some light on the existing problems, I might be tempted to release my latest add-ons. Otherwise, I don?t want to waste everyone?s time releasing buggy hacks.

I?d love it if I knew the working to not working ratio of this hack, at the moment I have no idea who this works for and who?s having problems with it!

works fine m8 as usual was down to me not doing hack proper in first place but i perservered with reading tit bits off the other users and got there in the end.
So cheers m8 and i understand u cant possibly answer every question as its time consuming so if you do decide to release any addons tell only them who have managed to install it reply then those who are having probs can get help from the other users.
Thus cutting your timeload down.

I swear I have followed these install directions to the letter, and still I cannot get Tetris working on my board.

I have included a screenshot as to what I see when I try to click on the Tetris link on my board:



It just sits there and does nothing, however the status bar at the bottom of Explorer shows:



That too just sits there trying to finish loading but never does.

I have attached the instructions that I am using which where found here on the board. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks so much.
Dan

edit: I corrected the second example pic above. Current pic shows true status respoce, although problem is still there as described.

DanIAm - there's already a visible problem in the second screenshot you provided...

It's not sending the session correctly. Try accessing the game through:

tetris?action=play

[DanIAm]

This is what I am using for a link to Tetris:

<a href="$bburl/tetris.php?action=play&s=$session[sessionhash]"><b>Play Tetris!</a>

Is this ok? Is this where my problem lies? Please tell me any other info I can provide to help troubleshoot this, I appriciate your assistance.
:classic:

Change it to:

<a href="$bburl/tetris.php?action=play"><b>Play Tetris!</a>

I changed to the link you suggested, and the same problem exists. I see a blank screen and the status bar still trys to tug along, but never gets anywhere, I have included the pic with using the new link you suggested.

[John]

I'd suggest to download the latest zip, and replace/reinstall the following:

tetris.php
tetris.swf
template: tetris

I think that's what cured the last person who had your problem...
