I'm terribly sorry for my newbieness (is that a word?!) but I would like to know if any of you know of a mod that allows registered members to play games BUT also tracks their scores/points/whatever? I *love* the idea of allowing my members to play games but I think allowing their scores to be tracked would be fantastic and could allow for things like contests for prizes for first place, etc.

Anyone know of a current mod that allows this?

(And sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum. This seemed like the best pick to post something like this.)

not for threads, but if you go to www.trackpads.com (vb) and look at their arcade gallery they have something exactly like that.

I must say that it is VERY awesome!

actually it's not the threads/vb it's the game itself if you can find a game that outputs it's high scores locally to the server in a .txt or other readable format you can take the game arcade and alter it. I have been looking for games that do just that. thats how they do this.

actually all ya have to do is convert the v3 Arcade v1.0.2 over from vb to threads and then hack the games providing you have the original fla's to output the high scoores to a table

The games come with a php script which is called upon through the hard coding of the swf file, which has been decompiled into an fla and modified by the developer (or hacker) then recompiled again. The php script itself is integrated heavily into the board which requires a lot of files to be modified. This was a major undertaking with a lot of testing in VB.

Very cool scroungr. So are you utilizing the current code written into the swf's or will they all need to be re-written and recompiled for threads?

using the existing code built into the swf's by the vb people. I rewrote the code to be threads friendly.
