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.

Games that are Buggy

1. X-ball

Can only go up to level 10 and max high score at 8,180 - then the ball justs hangs - very annoying.

2. Pong

Impossible to beat the computer - he let's you win one each time you lose one - so he is always 1 up to you. Was this an April Fools prank???

Anyway, just informing people. Otherwise, good work, all doing the Flash integration.

[Erwin]

Here's a Pinball Thumbnail while we wait for the score variable...

[DarkDraco07]

[DarkDraco07]

i didnt check out the pong that was posted "if there is one posted" but after reading the buggy games post, this one doesnt do that. here is one i use.

Score Var: $pongscore

I get this problem with Pinball:

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.

Strange... what's the game hash?

[DarkDraco07]

i have arcade v1 and i believe that hash is made for v2. try hash 5 like the other games

[Erwin]

Pong is working fine... Thanks!

I did... Mmm... strange. So you're sure it's $sscore... 2 s's... (1 s didn't work anyway)... Shall look into it...

[Erwin]

It probably IS the MD5 hash offset that's the problem...

The instructions in Admin CP say this:

Game Hash Offset
Offset (between 0 and 31) to apply to the MD5 security check -- MUST MATCH the value in the game's FLA file, if unsure do not modify

What is it in the Pinball FLA?
