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.

most those sites are for wbb2, and the site with vB seems to have the games only there, and not actually working with proarcade. I think the wbb2 games are configured differently.

If this is the case, perhaps there is reason to offer duel support in VB Arcade?

I played with this , very cool stuff ...

I have had endless problems with DB's through the history of VB with imbeded images u/l ed to the SQL DB. Is there a fix to make the images show up useing a link to a file on the server vs. uploading the image into the DB ?

[Jakor Sevel]

just copy and paste the html from any of the games for asteroids.

X- BALL

It does not go to the correct page when a game ends. goes to: http://proarcade.php/ is there a way to fix this?

[DigitalDesktops]

i updated the zip. reupload xball.swf

[drumsy]

I'm having a problem with new games. The initial five released work wonderfully and the thumbnail images display properly but the two I've installed lately, Simon Says and Hexagon, are displaying the thumbnails very poorly. Colors are mixed up and the image is junky. What could be the problem? I can't manually add the image because I get an error having to do with openbase_dir or something like that. We also are running in safe mode.

Thank you for X-Ball.

My forum is about Retro gaming, consoles and old computer chat. This is just the kind of game that my members will love.

Cheers.

X-Ball is ok... But to me, it looks like a version of Breakthru that was never completed. I think I'll leave this one alone... Some of my members have been requesting games like Pong and Centepede... Anyone wanna try to make either of these compatable? I'd really apreciate it.

Oh, and a modified version of Hexxagon would be nice, where if you win, you keep playing games against the computer until you lose. So if I beat the computer, I get to play another game, and another, until my winning streak is put to an end. Then, your total score would get sent to the scoreboard. I'll take a look at the FLA file later and see if I can make that change.

[Mr L]

Two games I'd like to see ported for it, the first is Monster!...

...attached is the FLA and SWF file from Flash Kit download site.
