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.

my friend has Flash MX and hes not sure on how to exactly use it, like somebody posted before, if somebody could maybe direct people in the right direction insted of staying, put this in there, than i think that there could be 100x more games than the 11 that ive seen released, or maybe theres more, but i would love for somebody to maybe write a tutorial on exactly where to look maybe, or i dunno maybe im just speaking dumb...

This just isn't true... See that game I released a page back? That was the first time I had ever even seen the inside of a Flash game. But it took me about 5 minutes to make it work. Trust me, it's not hard. If someone can direct me towards more good FLA files, I'll modify them!

Oh, and this Pong game needs to be re-built for higher resolution screens. (1024x768 and higher) I can barely see the menu! I'm modifying it now.

Here's a modified Pong game, and the HTML code for it needs to be modified too. In the "Modify Games" part of the control panel, change the HTML code to:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="275">
<param name="movie" value="$vpa_gameurl?location=$vpa_bburl&gamename=$game&gamehash=$gamehash&s=$session[sessionhash]">
<param name=loop value=false> 
<param name=menu value=false> 
<param name=quality value=high> 
<param name=bgcolor value=#000000>
<embed src="$vpa_gameurl" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="275">
