make a folder inside the gamedata folder called gname
make an empty file called v32game.txt inside that folder
make a text file in that folder called gname.txt with this code in it

replace gname with the gname of the game
replace _root.score with the games scorevar

This is how to convert games with the new arcade 2.5.9 and with the ipb 3.3 arcade mod.

Next trouble with v32game try a easier type

These are pretty easy
All you really got to with these is clean the games as in get rid of the unneeded crud and change the button from play again to submit etc.

a few tutorials.

http://teamwolfpack.org/downloads/IPBAguideV1.3.pdf <- Sothink Quicker Converting
http://teamwolfpack.org/downloads/tarcreating.swf - How to create a tar!
http://teamwolfpack.org/downloads/movie.swf - Sothink/UAE mix(v2game converting)

here is a few games for everyone to use on your forum and look at

Best converting tool to use would be URL Action Editor, Action Script Replacer and Sothink Quicker(for buttons)

Also when adding a v32game to your arcade, be sure you have secure scoring option set to yes.

Any problems feel free to post, any game request? Post away as well!

This solved many issues with no score games in my arcade.

Are these instructions how to make those new "more secure games"?

[JeremyStCyr]

These instruction are for both v2games & v32games, v32games are more recommended since there harder to cheat on.

[Kacela]

make a folder inside the gamedata folder called gname
make an empty file called v32game.txt inside that folder
make a text file in that folder called gname.txt with this code in it
Uhhh... what code? If my gname is 'Asteroids', it should look like this in the file structure? arcade/gamedata/Asteroids/Asteroids.txtIf this is the case, where does the empty file called v32game.txt go, and what should be in both of these now empty text files?

[sinistergaming]

will this work for games that arent fomated for v3,or anything just a swf file

[okgaz]

I'm confused about the textfile bit, he says to "make a text file with this code in it" but never gives the code?

[Angel-Pie]

ok umm im sure i will need this its just understanding it lol

What's in the Zip files exactly? Because they seem to be games, and if they are, would they be fine to use?

Never mind. Oh, and what's with the Wolfclick one? It's just a button, not a game!

Yeah I think they are authorized sample games for learning conversion and free to use. The button is a Team Wolfpack sample button to use in conversion for score submission I think.

I did look for some open source tools, despite what the article says. I found a couple of things but I can't say if it is possible yet.





For anyone looking for games....

Never mind, ignore what I said. Didn't post this earlier since I was on holiday.

Oh, and I doubt the button is just an example button. He released it as a game at the official site, and some others. Which got like a 1 star rating from everyone for semi obvious reasons of not being a game. Oh well.
