PFZ scoreboard system
this is an update about my website http://www.pspflashzone.com. As some of you may know I have been working on a scoreboard system for the site. well it is now finished . It is open to all developers and I have kept it as simple as possible. all you need to do is add a snippet of code to your game and tick the "use hi-score table" box when uploading it. this should mean that anyone making a game can add scoreboard functionality very easily without needing knowledge of how the whole thing works.
here is a link to one of the earlier games on the site (made by me)that has been edited to use the new scoreboard system so you can see how it works:
http://www.pspflashzone.com/play.php?id=2
detailed instructions how to get the system working with your game plus a source fla of an example:
http://www.pspflashzone.com/information/hiscores.php
Please check it out and tell me what you think. if anyone needs help getting it working with there game I will be more than happy to help
Note: the game needs to be on pspflashzone for the scoreboard functionality to work. it wont work if it is being played off line or if it is being hosted on another site.

Re: PFZ scoreboard system
Awesome!!!!!!111one1!!eleven!
I'm gonna upload Hamburger Pits with the highscore system.
(Might be updated! )
Also, how do I add the highscore system to Hamburger Dodge if I've already uploaded it?
Do I have to upload it again?
Edit:
Because I'm adding extra stages, I want to add particular text to the player name.
Do I change the "sendvars.player_name = Pname;" bit to something like:
"sendvars.player_name = Pname + " - " + Stagename;"?
Or is there something else to change?

Re: PFZ scoreboard system
thanks for all the feedback
Nice. That's pretty cool. But would I be right in saying that it won't work with Liveswif since Liveswif doesn't support dynamic text.
I'm not really sure as I've never used Liveswf myself but basically all it needs is some way for the player to input a name which can then be retrieved through a variable. if there is no input text box in Liveswf it could still be done in other ways like an on screen keyboard or thing where you can individually select the letters using the arrow keys these would be harder to do but would still work.
I'm gonna upload Hamburger Pits with the highscore system.
(Might be updated! big_smile)
cool that would be awesome
Also, how do I add the highscore system to Hamburger Dodge if I've already uploaded it?
pm me or post a link to the new swf and ill replace the old one with the new one.

im not sure what you mean. to add text on to the players name you would do it like this:
change:
Pname = _root.name_input;
to:
Pname = _root.name_input + "-" + _root.Stagename;
this is assuming that Stagename is in the root of the game (on a frame in the main timeline). Also it is very important not to edit any code after the "do not edit anything after this line line" especially nothing after the "//posts data to php script" line.

Hmmm...
I created a quick test .swf to see if I could get it to work with Liveswif, but when I uploaded the game it didn't get a scoreboard. I checked the box.
Happened to me too. I'm pretty sure something is wrong.
Oh, and by the way heres the link to the updated Hamburger Dodge:

Re: PFZ scoreboard system
OOPS! searched through the upload code and found the problem - a spelling mistake causing it to not set highscores to true. it is now fixed and i have manually highscore tables for the games affected. any scores already submitted are still there they just could not be viewed before.
@shinsukeito thanks for updating hamburger dodge i have uploaded it and enabled highscores. its good to see you managed to get it all working without any problems even with my terrible instructions
@PSP1221 iv looked into it and it turns out liveswf only supports as1 and the function used to send the scores requires as2 so sorry liveswf people
