Doah.

htaccess file coming soon.

Anyone know what sort of bandwidth these consume - are they light or heavy eaters?

They are SWF files which download then play in the person's browser. The largest one is 416 KB and the smallest is 108 KB.

aren't SWF files cached also, just like images?

Yeah, they load much faster when you go back to the game.

Thanks - was interested to see if anyone had noticed their bandwidth shoot through the roof with these

I might need to hotlink protect mine before I give a real answer. LOL

most of my users aren't that bright, and since you have to be logged in, they would essentially need to figure out the URL to the SWF to pass on to people

looks great installed and working

2 things though

Firstly should the player name fill in automatically as it dosnt on my install?

Secondly I wanted to put my games folder outside of the threads install I try and do this with all hacks as I find it neater.

So I created a paths.php file with the following in:
<?
$threadspath = "PATH TO THREADS";
$baseurl = "PATH TO WEB ROOT";
?>
==========
then I have removed this section of code in every game php file and gameindex.php:

// What is the PATH (not URL) to your threads install

and added this in its place:

// Require the Paths
require ("paths.php");

==========
and in gamesindex.php did a find and replace:
find: $config['phpurl']
replace with: $baseurl

==========
and index.php now looks like this:

require ("paths.php");
// Require the library
require ("$threadspath/main.inc.php");
header ("Location:$baseurl/games/gameindex.php");

HTH

Nice I just installed it

Working fine at games.nonleague.com - if you add additional games, it is worth checking the swf size by doing a view source at the version on the miniclip site - I added Solitaire - as it means people can play slowly, and I can put ads beneath it

I installed only 4 games(from six), which swf size < 300KB

Works great at audi-sport.net, I've set it for registered users only, think I got carried away as I've got 30 games installed

I noticed

Great to see you around here again...

I shall be around a fair bit more now, probably a bad thing as I'll be annoying you all with my dumba$$ questions

We all have those questions from time to time

And beleive me I speak from experience

Is this confirmed to work under 6.4?

Can additional MiniClip games be added to this?

Yes and Yes

I haven't checked, but I'd be shocked if it didn't work for 6.4. How many other MiniClip games are there? I hadn't thought of the possibility of trying to add more.

Yes, it works just fine under 6.4

ANd yes, you can add different games if you wish.

Rather a lot. I'm not sure if they're all free or not, but there appears to be over 50 games at Miniclip.com.

Of course, I'd have to make a point of "testing" those games to determine which ones would be worthwhile of my users' attention.

Yes, it's really an "addon" and yes, you can follow the format and add additional games from mini-clip.

Working great under my 6.4 at www.f-bodyhideout.com

Thanks Josh!

Yeah and really easy to add games to also.. added Hangaroo

This is just great!

Anyone knows where to find some "adult oriented" games?

Now see what you've started?

How do I go about adding other games from that site? How do you get the .swf files?
They love it..Thankyou

edit-There is a spelling error in the languages/*/online.php for Crashdown (Creashdown)

Go here http://www.miniclip.com/download.htm and get the games, then take a look at the corresponding scripts in the directory and you can add them in there by copying and pasting existing lines. It's pretty easy once you see how it's done.

Yup I started on this last night. I have allready added Bush Shootout by copying and changing one of the scripts. Now I just need to change this



To this

The registered users only setting isn't that effective.

http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/games/gameindex.php

I went there, clicked a link and got this...

http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/games/cryptraider.php?anonplay=1

I changed the 1 to 0

http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/ubbthreads/games/cryptraider.php?anonplay=0

And I can now play any of the games.

Yeah, it's not high security - but fools most fools.

Ahh....said the wiseman.

yesh you could add the autheicate code to the mod. It would be easy to do. I say go for it

heres a tidbit I tried it and it locks it down

in all the games <insertgametitle>.php

#
#find
#

if (($anonplay) && (!$user['U_Username'])) {

#
#change to
#

if (($anonplay) && (!$user['U_Username']) || ($user['U_Username'] == '')) {


and in gameindex.php

#
#find
#
$html = new html;
$html -> send_header($pagetitle,$Cat,0,$user);

#
#and change to
#

$html = new html;
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// If we are not logged in, then present a log on form, otherwise present
// a menu of options.
if(($user['U_Username'] == ''))
{
$config['iip_call'] = 1;
$html -> not_right ("{$ubbt_lang['ADMOD_ONLY']}",$Cat);
}
$html -> send_header($pagetitle,$Cat,0,$user);

[b]the above code also works in the genericpage.php that is posted on this site and pretty much locaks them down in they aren't logged in

scroungr, thanks for sharing!

I haven't the foggiest idea, on how to add the "Games" link to the top of my forum page(s). Can someone tell me what file(s) to edit & what to put in it?

Here is what you will want to add to your registerednav.tmpl, you will see how it's laid out and you can put it where you want accordingly.

Awesome! It Works! Thank You!
