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.

The green monster Italian game appears to stop at Level 1 with 11 points...

You can still do it. Just open the images with notepad, copy, and then add it to the query.

What kind of format would I use? I don't know how to compose a query...

Opensource Flash games are extremly hard to find, the most of them are ripped work (swf) on huge gamesites without a database highscore, or the development from a couple of designers that work for casino's etc.

If we could just put this code in the right place in a swf file, then hundreds of games will emerge.

[Jakor Sevel]

is it possible to insert the code into the swf?

You'd simply remove the image code from one of the queries for another game & add the new image code, variable, gamename, etc.

{edit} double down bug fixed

Great job Evils1 There are graphical better blackjack games around but only as swf, i've found some nice ones. Now, there is a program called swf scanner that can give an overview on how the swf is build on wich layer etc. It strips the sounds, graphics and actionscripts but you can not add something, only (and this is the most difficult part) try to rebuild the same game from scratch with the box of loose parts you find.

I love blackjack, i was playing the real thing a bit too much a coupple of years ago anyway, the game freezes when i press "double" other then that, thumbs up.
