vB Flash Player 1.3 - Play Any Flash Game or Movie in vB!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: This used to be my vB Tetris 1.2 hack. It's been improved to play any Flash game or movie.

Purpose:
------------------

Install this hack ONCE and you can play any SWF game or movie totally integrated inside your forum! The name of the game or movie will be automatically shown in the page title, forum nav bar, and table heading! Just upload the SWF file to your forums directory and then use this URL (changing it to suit your forum directory):

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

You can even set the width and height or background color of the Flash movie or game using the URL command line and parameters.

http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename&w=1024&h=768&b=000000

Good for those of you who run your site at HIGH resolutions.

If you don't enter the width or height parameters, the Flash game or movie will automatically default to 600 x 400. If you don't enter the background color, it will default to your forum page background color. Only registered members will be able to play the game or movie - unregistered users will get the "no permission" log-in page.

Installation
-----------------------

EASY! Takes 1 minute. All you need to do is create 2 templates, and upload 1 file, and you're done. (No db queries to run, no php file edits! )

1) Create 2 templates with the text files included - just copy the contents of the text files into the templates with the same name:
flash
error_flash
2) Upload flash.php into your forum directory. The hack is finished!

Then, to play any Flash SWF Game or Movie inside your forum:
1) Upload the SWF file to your forum directory.
2) Link to this URL (change it to suit your forums directory):
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

Parameters:
--------------------

play = name of SWF file (without the .swf extension - make sure the capitals and small letters are the same!)
w = width of Flash movie or game
h = height of Flash movie or game
b = background color of Flash movie or game (in hex WITHOUT the # - eg. 000000 for black or FFFFFF for white)

To use default width and height is 600 x 400, or default background color which is your forum background color -
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename
"filename" being the name of the SWF file (without the .SWF) - the name must be exact (including the capitals or small letters)

To set your own width or height:
http://www.your-forums.com/forums/flash.php?play=filename&w=1024&h=768&b=000000

Tetris
-----------

For example, with this hack I've included the Tetris SWF file that was included in my original tetris hack. This game is public domain. To let your members play good old-fashioned Tetris on your forums:

1) Upload tetris.swf to your forums directory (included in the zip file).
2) Link to this URL (change it to suit your forums directory):
http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=tetris
The Tetris Flash Game will play integrated into your forums. This works for any Flash game or Movie.

excellent news! thanks for the reply

Talking about bandwith....

I noticed games are being used way more than I thought. I already have 20 games and was planning on adding more, but they are taking my bandwith away.

I tried to re-direct from ****play=(URL HERE) but it doesn't work. Just wondering if this may be possible somehow?

For example, most of the games I (we) downloaded from this thread come from www.miniclip.com, so the line your be: (http://www.your-forum.com/forums/fla...Flash/gamename)

I even tried getting Miniclip's HTML they provide to link to their GameRoom into an html and use Erwin's html, java, text integrator to call the html, but it will display as text inside the board...

Any suggestions?

It's possible, but I won't be releasing a version of this hack that allows you to remote-link to Flash files hosted elsewhere as this is considered leeching and is unfair to the other server. How would you like it if someone linked to files on your server, using up your bandwidth?

I purposely made this hack to prevent this from happening. Flash games, if very large, can chew up bandwidth, so use with care.

Julio · #**375** 11-19-2002, 10:35 PM

Erwin: I perfectly understand your point. However www.miniclip.com do provide an area where you "get" an html code that you place in your site as Game Room. So literally allo you to do it.

What is strange is that I placed the html code they provided in an html file locally in my forums folder, and called it using your HTML, Java, TXT integration file, but it doesn't work either...

I do have another host of 5Gb of space and 30Gb bandwith with just one small site... I would have no problem on palcing there my games and some other files, I can "call" with that function.

Donkey Kong

New Flash Game that can be used with Flash Player.

To play:

http://www.your-forum.com/forums/flash.php?play=DonkeyKong

Enjoy!

What are the controls for that game? I can't get Mario to move.

Julio · #**378** 12-13-2002, 12:46 AM

OK Guys... Here's a good question...

I had my forum on a domainB and another domainA parked to domain B Today I got rid of domainB and everything points to domainA except I redirected index.html to domainA/forum/index.php, changed the URL under control panel, etc. Now, my games will not load... does my changes may have anything to do?

Erwin · #**379** 12-13-2002, 01:00 AM

Check that the forum URL in your Admin CP vBulletin Options is pointing at your forum directory.

Erwin: Everything is OK (At least it seems)

I was thinking that since Im redirecting thr index.html to www.domain/forum/index.php maybe the flash.php recognizes it as www.domain/forum/forum/flash.php?

Erwin · #**381** 12-13-2002, 09:55 PM

Possibly.

Go to the "Flash" template, and change the TWO occurences of $bburl to your whole site's URL.
