Is there no protection for this? i'd hate to have to spend my days removing invalid scores from the arcade tables.
I would PM JRSweets with any/all information that you have on how the members were able to do it.

Please don't publicly post it :idea:

Unfortunately there are tools out that that make doing that very easy. Not much that can be done. You can just delete the score in the arcade ACP it will remove all traces of it, then ban the user. Sorry, wish I had a better answer.

I tried as you said JrSweets, i removed the high score from the arcade_scores table in database, but now , when someone submits, they still told they have not beatin the high score of 13,million when i erased it from database. Also on arcade index, its listing dude as aving a high score, when in fact he does not.

I thought removing the highscore would erase all instances of it :(

thanks for the help btw.

Acp/Arcade/edit scores/ reset user score

I think this is the best solution.

Thx Killbill, that worked for most part.

I did notice though too however, that some games do not allow the scores to be manipulated. duck hunt does, but an irritating game does not, sends an error.

I'm a fan of either the subsilver2 joystick, or the prosilver arcade icon.

I would say the subsilver2 machine icon, but it's too small to make out. Great icons by the way!

Yes I have created a script. You can either run this script or just go into the arcade config table in the db and change the version number to 1.0.RC9 before you try to update.

The script is located at:

That is not what I said. I said to remove the score from inside the Arcade ACP. Never just delete it from the db directly, you won't get it all. ;) There is an Edit Scores module in the ACP and it could be deleted from there or as KillBill suggested reset all the scores of that user. Also, if you delete the user all their scores will be removed also. Any of these methods will remove all the scores from the db.

Some game types are easier to manipulate the scores than others. IBProV3 games seem to be the hardest.

Its not out yet. Should be tomorrow.

The plan is to submit this version to the MODDB and start work on the next version.
