This may be too big of a question but, what does it take to fully integrate any Flash game in to the SMF Arcade?

I was wondering the same thing. There are a couple really old games on the net that I'd love to use. I highly doubt I'll be able to track down the creators and get permission as the arcade site tells you to. I'm wondering if I can just 'convert' the games on my own. I've been holding off on installing this for that reason alone.

SMF Arcade can play almost any flash game or video. It is basically a flash player that can record the scores of certain games. Not all games can have their scores recorded or submitted.

It is not illegal to play any games on SMF Arcade. Legal issues come into play if you convert or modify a flash program's code without permission or allow it to be downloaded by some means without permission. There are some game authors that will only allow gameplay on certain sites but they are few. It is always best to check the TOS (Terms of Service) for any game(s).

You'll be surprised at how simple it can be to add a simple flash game, bear in mind, SMF Arcade is not a "simple integration" though.
I have a mod awaiting approval, it lets you play NES games on your forum, for now its one game at a time, but that's a simple integration for you.

That's awesome

How long would it take you to intergrate any of those games on that list? ( high scores, quick loading, etc)

Well High scores and such would need further integration, say into the database, a new column in smf_members called game scores would probably do it, then you would have to get the score from the flash game to save to that record, thus SMF member has that score, then that could be echoed on the page in High Score area, for complete integration like that, it would take some time..

Ill pay you for a template to do that

You'll Have to PM me then about that, but I'm a beginner, not that you will get a low quality Job, just that it will take a little longer

Ok Ill Pm you 

Please note that anything done by me will not be an accessory for SMF Arcade, it will be a custom separate mod for you.

Proceeds to PM inbox

would like a theme for my arcade mod, so it displays the Highscores on top, most played games at right, and newest games at left, then a random game block under most played games..
or like this picture.


also would be great if u could edit the themes colours after install.

would be really really happy to get this.
Thanks.

Might be worth actually doing what you suggest there, Is that an actual arcade in the pic or something you did in PS?

In the meantime check those links and the smf versions they are for

During install.. the arcade-mod can not find the place it wants to place its modification to that file so it fails to do so.
You must edit that file manually and add what is required.
(public_html / Themes / default / index.template.php).

Here are the edits:
Note: Only add the following edits if they are not already there. Some of them might already be added properly - but at least one of them has not been.

Find:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin',


Copy and paste this right after the above if necessary(on the same line):

Code Select Expand


'managegames', 'arcadesettings', 'arcadecategory',


Find:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search',


Copy and paste this right after the above  if necessary(on the same line):

Code Select Expand


'arcade',


Find:

Code Select Expand


// How about the [search] button?


Add the following BEFORE the above code( if necessary):

Code Select Expand


echo ($current_action == 'arcade' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'arcade' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=arcade">' , $txt['arcade'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'arcade' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Thanks for these edits. Just what I needed to finish my install on 1.1.10 custom theme! Glad they were here since they weren't on the mod page.

this picture is from either vBulletin v3 arcade or IPB Arcade.
Possibly for the version 2.0 rc1.2

are there any FREE and LEGAL programs to edit the code of a swf so I can change the submit button to submit to my site? I know NOTHING about flash...

Where would i find arcade games for my board since i install SimplePortal on my board i couldn't find any games at all online can someone give me some advice where to look for some games

They should really give directions on how to edit the files, its not their fault if someone goes against copyright

There are tons of OLD games I'd love to use, but would never be able to find anyone to contact. The submit buttons cause errors when I put them in my arcade

There are many legal programs to edit the code but doing it without permission from the person(s) who wrote the code is illegal.

We will not help someone to commit an illegal act as you are openly proposing to do.

I'm quite sure he would not help you with that particular query either.

Hello,

I have installed SMF Arcade on my forum (1.1.10) and am trying to install it manually on custom themes, yet when i click on parse no matter what version I select or what version of SMF i select i get

"Sorry, but this modification does not appear to be compatible with the selected version."

I have also recieved an error message something like

"Sorry, but this modification does not appear to be authorized for download yet."

Does anyone have any idea what's going on there, or have the parse instructions? 

Thank you for any help, it is much appreciated.
