vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development · **Released**: 12-31-2002

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.

Hence why I am not adding any more games until I get the queries down.

DigitalDesktops · #**933** 04-26-2003, 03:44 PM

i have 88 queries on my arcade page.

if i change this:

PHP Code:


			
      $miniboard_q = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM arcadescores WHERE game='$gamename' AND valid=1 ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 5");

to this:

PHP Code:


			
      $miniboard_q = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM arcadescores WHERE game='$gamename' AND valid=1 ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 3");

will that lower the number of queries on the arcade?

Hehe, isn't it nudge, not nadge

joecool · #**935** 04-26-2003, 05:02 PM

People, Why not use the sulution that Erwin came up with to get the queries down to 16? (doesn't matter howe many games you add, it will still be 16) I use that on my board together with around 100 games

Having over 100 queries doesn't sound like a good idea to me anyway o_O

Jakor Sevel · #**936** 04-26-2003, 05:04 PM

slotx works great! Great job. And thanks to joe for updating the first post.

$headinclude

</head>



<body>

$header 



$navbar



<br>



<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="{contenttablewidth}" align="center">

<tr>

 <td>

  <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">

  <tr> 

   <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" align="center">

    <normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}">

    <b>$bbtitle Arcade</b>

    </normalfont>

    </td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

    <td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="center" valign="center">



     <!-- begin scoreboard -->

     <table cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%">

     <tr>

      <td width="100%" align="center">



      <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" width="100%">

      <tr> 

       <td width=150 bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" align="center">

        <normalfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}">

        <b>Game</b>

        </normalfont>

       </td>

       <td bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" align="center">

        <normalfont color="{tableheadtextcolor}">

       </td>

      </tr>

      $arcadebits

      </table>

     </td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    <!-- end scoreboard -->



    <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

    $gamescores

    </table>



    </td>

   </tr>

  <tr> 

   <td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" align="center">

    <normalfont color="{timecolor}">

    </normalfont>

    </td>

   </tr>

   </table>

  </td>

 </tr>

</table>



$footer

</html>

vbproarcade_arcadebit

      <tr> 

       <td width=150 bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" align="center">

SlotX fruitmachine. Random hold and shuffle untill you score trough the roof. Hit it.

The submit button is not there after every time, it would be nice to be able to submit you're score whenever you want

Nice game tho, i'ts a winner

NuclioN · #**940** 04-26-2003, 06:25 PM

Thx joecool.

The submit score button must stay visible all the time. Here it does. I've test it but i can't see it disappear.
