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.

It's a nice 3D space shooter. Maybe someone can get it to work soon.

Or maybe even get the alien attack version of it up too! (This is for all the 56k people, the file is much much smaller.)

those would be some nice games to have

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

I may try to modify it and make it so it continuous after you win until you loose. Maybe even use the suggestion in this thread to give points when you take spots.

[chad777]

Installed works great!

[Da`Nacho]

Installed Hexxagon and working great over at the Candidforums!

I really like this game, it's based on an older DOS shareware game and is a REALLY faithful recreation. I used to spend HOURS playing this with my friends and neighbors. Even though it's not really good for the champions system, it still makes a FUN addition to the arcade!


Jim, can you make the altered .fla available and/or tell me what you had to do to make it work? I tried and tried and all I could ever get it to do was immediately hit proarcade.php on the start of a game, really frustrating and I'm anxious to see how you got it working.

[Link14716]

Once again, Jim, instead of putting in a 9 for the ID, put in NULL, so that it won't automatically make it 9, instead it'd use the next ID that it can use.

[Link14716]

I just installed hexxagon, changing hexxagonFinal to just hexxagon. I dunno, that just annoyed me. Works great.

[futureal]

Yea, it's good practice to use NULL in any SQL column that contains an auto incrementing value. Other values may not work correctly in everybody's databases (duplicate entry error in a keyed field).

Hmm like I posted I did not modify the game myself but I'll ask for the fla file. I downloaded Macromedia Flash and will try to improve it so it does not end when you win.

:tired: Fixed. And before someone asks, no I don't have 9 games. The 9 in the query was because I deleted a game twice.

[corsacrazy]

hmm the query on post 71 doesnt work ! cood this have sumthing to do with this line in the query
