Capes and Cowls Forum

I'm going to make this thread so ppl can see if there is any of the games that may have slight problems.
What I'm getting at if say when you get score on a game and it dont register on the table things like that. Instead of just PMing say Dave the Admin or shock me! you will be able to see if it's already been reported and if anything can be done.

Blocks it has scores on it you can see them when you submit but they are not listing on the main list.

OK, I will look into it.

Some of the games, although their authors give them away for free, expressly forbid modification of the code.  This means that a proportion of the games will never have a method of listing a high score unless the author changes their mind at some future point.

Regarding the blocks issue, that is probably a simple thing to fix....but maybe I shouldn't tempt fate!   :)

Asteroids When you destroy a space craft it sometimes does not die completely and you can get a invisible unshotable ship firing at you.

This is more a bug with the game coding but thought it was just worth pointing it out to players.

Are you sure they just dont have a Klingon cloaking device? :D

You will have to ask Scotty if he can upgrade the sensors.

There's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim.

One of the solitaire games (as there might be more than one) doesnt fit on the screen properly, so if you want to move something from the first column to the last column....you're buggered...

Mac, what is the name of the game? 

I have looked and I don't get the same problem.  Maybe it is a screen resolution option problem?  Or possibly it is down to how you have the arcade set up.  Do you know that you can make the screen for the arcade narrower or wider by including or hiding the sidebar?  This is an option under template.

Its called solitaire, its one of the ones im champ of, but i got rid of everything on the screen, toolbars, favourites etc and its still too damn big for my screen, it might just be my resolution, but either way i could have gotten a much better score from being able to see it properly :P

I changed the resolution of the game in the config.  It plays at 800x500 now.  Should be the end of your problems.  :)

much better at the smaller screen res can see all the cards now.

Robbed Damnit! I want my high score submitted ='[

Sadly Dil some of the games do not accept high scores.  I haven't actually played Blobtwist but I assume it is one of the ones that doesnt.  If this assumption is wrong please let me know.  Sometimes this is because the games are just not coded for it, other times it is because the author of the game has expressly forbidden alteration to his games code. 

I respect the wishes of the authors, even if I don't personally agree with it.

Then my question is --> How did Guinevere get a highscore on it?

Works for me.  I hadnt played it before, but the highscores submit just fine.  You can read mine (4th place).  Were you logged in?

As to Guinevere's high score...well I guess you need to ask her...

Yeah I was, it just never came up with the option to submit? =\

I have a complaint to make.. i've discovered i'm absolutely crap at frogger... surely it wasnt this hard on the atari 2600 ????

Im not too sure about the power sets on any of these games  cant seem to find a description anywhere  :P

One of the changes coming is a new version of the arcade.  I would like to say it will be better, but you never know, so I will just keep shtum....Oh!  I already said sommat!   Silly demon!   ;D
