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.

Hm..to speed up the amount of playable games for this it would be better if someone give the guidelines to modify a game, for example the scorevariabele and other things that are relevant to let games work in VB arcade.

So basically - you can convert any flash game to work with this?

Not any flash game - only games that are public domain - otherwise you breach copyright.

heya,

love the games guys awesome work and thank you for making them available to us

i do have one question though, some of my users are getting the following screen/error in Xtreme snake:

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.

any ideas on what might be causing this?

thanks again

if they use the back button, or if they click "play again" when it asks and stuff they'll get that. Also if you click the link to play the game twice it'll do that. So only click the links ONCE, no matter what. Even if it looks like it's not gonna load. If it's deffinately not loading, click again and make it work then just lose on purpose and try again cause it'll most likely give you that error.

At least these are ways I've learned to counter this thing.

For anyone that is interested, attached is a modified .swf of tetris that adds a mute function. Once you click start, just hit M and that music is history.

I am having a few compaints from users about Breakout being rather buggy after scoring around 10,000 points.

Anyone else having this problem?

[Shad]

Attached is a working version of Asteroids.

hashoffset = 5
score variable = $asterscore

Edit : Attached new version with keys change. Space bar now shoots, up arrow for thrust.
