So I think I may have gotten to the bottom of the mysterious medal points vanishing from your scores. I just installed the patch and resynched everyone's medal scores. There's still a chance a few of you will lose a few points due to medals that may have been taken down for being glitchy or whatever, but anyone who had big ass chunks of points missing SHOULD have them back now.

If you were effected by this glitch PLEASE take a look at your score and let me know if it looks right now.

My points have been restored. A huuuuggeeeee thank-you for taking the time to fix this!

Hey, I'm almost at 50,000 now :).

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-08-11 15:59:59


Good stuff. Now I don't have to look at nglogs to see where everybody stands cause it looks like every point has been re-awarded. Not sure why PG said some of the glitchy ones wont, because my score is the same here as nglogs.

Also, I can't even fathom that I've seen the medal pop-up almost 2000 times and played over 200 medal games. Seems like just yesterday I was getting medals for alkie kong and portal defenders...

What I meant is if you get medals in a new release, then the author deletes them, your score will go down, but that's actually SUPPOSED to happen

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2010-08-11 16:06:36


Awesome! :) Got almost 3k pts back! This was a nice surprise! :)

Also, untouchable is not broken. I tried doing it after I beat all the missions and it didn't work. So i had to delete my sol and start a new one and it worked. Just beat the first four levels in order and it unlocked.

How theMEXICANTHIEF got 50,000 points on the other red storm survival game is beyond me. That looks redic. I think I only got to like 30,000 and I was getting really lucky on the last levels... maybe if you just keep hitting space bar and send the first 10 waves and make it through you'll get a ton of points? I dunno if anybody has tried it.

Oh, okay. So only in new games this will happen. I figured you looked at the broken medals page that some guy started and removed all the points for those because they were unattainable.

It'll probably happen with older games when we get some actual moderators in play for these unattainables

Thanks so much for fixing that, PsychoGoldfish! My score is exactly where it should be!

Now that the medals pts bugs were fixed... If I get 0 pts medals for a game, and they get approved AFTER I got them (thus having pts), am I gonna win those pts or not?

Double post, sorry. Does anyone remember one skating movie that have two non-existant test medals? I don't remember if it was already said, but it's out of the "Games with medals" list.

I also have it, and a few others do to. There's a glitch where the rush points transfer over to your next play, after choosing retry. You have to it several times, but eventually, you'll start getting around 30,000 points after just a few waves.

On English Pub Pool... How do you make the 5th doubles shot. I cant get it without potting the bottom right ball too.. ive tried all sorts of spin but it doesnt make enough difference.

Thanks for fixing it. I got back 4,000 points.

On another matter, these games still don't show up on the official medal page, and they have medals with working points:
Doodle God
English Pub Pool

elacsy

Red Storm Robot Day
Red Storm 2: Survival

Got those updated.... sadly one of the AS3 API builds had a bug where the swf files weren't linking to their portal ids so they weren't showing on the list. If anyone has any other games that should be on the list, shoot me the url for them and I should be able to get them on there.

Thanks PG! You've solved a lot of problems with those fixes and hopefully no new code errors replace them in the medal system.

Does anyone know how to get the Fluke Black medal in English Pub Pool? The description makes absolutely no sense to me. Also, thanks for all the work you've done PsychoGoldfish!

Pretty sure it means sink the black ball on the break.

And I take back what I said about theMEXICANTHIEF getting that 50,000 medal on red storm. He pm'd me and told me how he glitched it and it worked fine for me. Had to do with the rush bonus you get.

Why is it that this has 3 medals showing up but they don't save to your account? Are they not approved or what? And if they aren't, why is that one different from other flashes like this, which is also not approved, that have a medal that saves to your account but doesn't show up under the flash?

i don't even know.

The first game was for him testing his medals for a new game coming up. Either he didn't have it save to your account on purpose or the medals are broken. It might get removed in the future. And as for the mid bbs awards there is another flash fish outta of water. Where in the authors comments he had to list the medals I would do that with your flash to. The medals are still in the beta and they might stay there for a while cause of all the glitches all these games have.

I officially hate this pool game. I played so much pool on OP and now I can't even tell the angles for this game. And the rules SUCK.

How many pts does it take for you to get the medal in the BBS Midyear Awards 2010 game?

An outstanding zero points.
