Online HighScore Example Question

[Brandon]

I'm planning to submit a game for the vcade called Speed Pong. I was using the online highscore board example and writing the code for submitting the data to the server that reads:

+On Connect
Send Text Line -"GET"+CommandItem$("score_upload")+"?Code="+Editte xt$( "MD5 Hash" )+"&name="+string$( "Hidden name holder" )+"&Score="+Str$(score( "Player 1" ))+"&level="+Str$(value( "Level Reached" ))+"&gameID="+Str$(value( "GameID" ))+" HTTP/1.1"

But I have modified the "&level=" to "&points=" and also added another category called "&difficulty=" The question I have is how would I retrieve these values for the highscore table?

I don't think you can.
You can only get what the v-cade provides and this question might be better served over at the v-cade site.

(And if your using MMF2 it won't work until Vitalize is updated)

What do you mean by "retrieve these values for the highscore table"?

[Brandon]

In the first frame of the online highscore example file the data (scores) are uploaded to the server and in the second frame they are "retrieved" and sorted into lists.

You can't rename the variables from the script.
You can use them for whatever you want but they need to use the same names.

You also can't add new variables because the backend scripts won't know they exist. You would need to write your own system to do this sort of things.

Yes, I read that in the developer center of the vcade after I posted that. Sorry
