v32 vs v3 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 6  
Ok now the v32 world is open, I downloaded some games from ibparcade.com

I got them as .tar they have a gamedata folder.
In that folder some have a v32.txt, others have a v3.txt
I can get some of the v32 to score with PU but none of the v3..
what's the difference?

thanks

Hi,

Its just another different way of how the scoring works.

In the example of the game you gave me - it is not sending back the game identifier (either text or an id). As a result, when the score comes back - it doesn't know which score the game was for...

Is there another?

Regards,
James.

Hi,

I think the major difference that IBProArcade has introduced in their system, is that they track what each game each person is playing and as such when the score comes back they know which game it is for (i.e. it doesn't need the identifier as it is set when the game starts). This also is an anti-cheat feature as well.

I also noticed that the game has the highscores button within it... I'm wondering if it was orignally created or whether it has been modified to fit in with IBProArcade.

I suppose there are two different options here:

1. Open up the flash game and get the id sent back as part of the submit process.

2. Change PUArcade to start tracking which games are being played - so that if a score does come back it knows which game it is for.

Regards,
James.

p.s. I tried out the game - a bit too complicated for me!

Try the version from gaming-heaven, that works for me. the .swf have a other size and file-date as the version from ibparcade. (befor you try, delete your browser-cache )
