Medals now work, including the "winners use drugs" medal. Those who have played it and unlocked any of the medal before they were working must delete their SOL file and do over.

Well, glad I didn't play that game yet.

.sol files for newgrounds can typically be found here:

C:\Users\[user account name]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\[RANDOM LETTERS]\uploads.ungrounded.net

A few of the .sol files are found in that folder, but the majority will be found in folders with number names, such as "563000". To easily locate a game's .sol file, look at the ID number for the flash submission. For example, Warlords 2 has the ID 554294, and it would be located in the folder labeled "554000".

Did that really have to be your first post in this topic. Also, Ugo's games aren't shitty.

Thanks for your support, I worked four months on that game and I can tell you is the best game I've ever created!

Looking for an edit button!

The above address is only valid for Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. Older Microsoft operating systems would have a similar address related to the user account name, but it is not the same.

[user account name] refers to your login account on your own personal computer, and has nothing to do with your newgrounds account.

Thanks! I never knew it was this easy. =)

Poxpower is such a hero. That Charlie Sheen game is awesome. Destroying 100 cars seems to be the hardest medel by far.

Man, I haven't played a game this fun since...forever! I'm pretty proud to be at the top of the leaderboards for once with a score of 15,768,531. Though I doubt that I'll stay here for long since someone will probably outrank me with a ridiculous score of 20m or more. *hint hint dimono, foolio, wonder, nijsse*

The medal for hitting 100 cars should have it's points raised since it's quite difficult to get. Getting the Tiger blood powerup is pretty rare and having the medkits/wrenches pop out is pretty uncommon.

Also, if someone can post a full list of all the drugs in the game that'd be much appreciated.

Thank you! I've got vista (or windows 7), so it worked. Now to get the medals...

It seems that I have an problem with the "TWO AND A HALF MILES" in "Charlie Sheen - Winning. The description says that I must travel over 2.5 miles but I traveled over 100 and the medal is still locked, is it broken?

I don't think so, since I recently got it. Maybe you got it before the game got medals?

No, I just played it today for the first time.

I just finished the Vectrix medals. I cannot overstate the importance of playing the game on a slower computer; hyper speed on my laptop is about the same as one step above mach speed on my desktop. Now I get to decide how badly I want the Charlie Sheen medals.

I dunno about that, I got that one before the 200 miles medal, which I got before dying 5 times. I guess it depends on how many times you get Tiger Blood =/

It seems that the cars and concrete barriers don't have to be destroyed by you necessarily. I got the Street Wall medal from a motorbike crashing into a concrete barrier.

Yeah I said hardest, but like you said it's mostly about getting Tiger Blood a lot. When I tried to get the Carnage medal the first time, I was at 300+ miles and I still didn't have it. Yet the time when I did get it, I was only at ~150 miles. And yes, I'm 100% sure you don't have to be the one who destroys cars/barriers, and that makes those medals a lot easier.

Either this one is way easier than the last one, or I'm just much better at it now. Doesn't really matter, it's an awesome game!

Are there any repurcussions to doing this? I don't wanna screw up my computer or anything just to get a few points, y'know? Sorry for the stupid question, it's just I've never done this before.

Don't worry, it's safe. The only thing these folders govern are the games that refer to them, nothing more. If you want to save a backup of your original you can even rename it, and then what you're done what you're doing you can delete the new one and rename the old one back to what it was. I've done that a few times.

If you mess around with the folders in the place I'm talking about, the worse that can happen (forbidding future updates that gives Flash rootkit-like behaviors) is that Flash is unable to find your saved data, and creates a new .sol file. Basically, you lose progress, if any, in whatever flash video or game that uses the lost data file. Taking DiMono's advice of making a copy and backing up your .sol files, this is a great way to backtrack in some of the games on newgrounds so you can get medals that failed to submit properly and do not resubmit.

If you want to screw up your computer, i.e. send it to the geek hospital, rename your stuff found in "system32". A good way of doing this is to delete the file named "boot.ini".

Thanks guys for the info. I appreciate it, as I'm a complete moron when it comes to messing around with files on the ol' computer.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2011-03-14 15:51:39


I know people have it, but I am not convinced the Winners Use Drugs medal works consistently. Does someone have a full list of drugs available in the game to compare to? Here's what I know I picked up in my last game:

Booze
Mushrooms
Crystal Meth
Cocaine
Pot
Acid
7 Gram Rocks
4 or 5 different Party Foods

Also, the "die 5 times" medal requires you to die 5 times in a single instance of the game; you can't die twice, go away, come back and die 3 times.

Also also, current high score is up over 35m. I'm not going to challenge it, I just want my 3 remaining medals.

I don't see Pills on the list, those that make you go 3 m/h slower. Apart from those I don't see any missing. Though I still need the medal too.

Pills increase your maneuverability. Pot is what makes your speed -3.

Yes, I missed Pills on my list. Next time I play I'll have the checklist open and make a note of anything I missed.

Has anyone else noticed that for the most part you can just hang out at the top of the screen, as not much spawns there, and only come down to collect items? It's obviously not a foolproof strategy, as things do spawn there, but I noticed that the very top and very bottom are generally pretty safe areas.

Here's my list of things you can pick up:

Tiger Blood
Grenade

Booze
Pills
7 Gram Rocks
Cocaine
Crystal Meth
Acid
Mushrooms
Heroin
Pot

Money

Party food - drink
Party food - hamburger
Party food - brown cake
Party food - orange cake
Party food - pie
Party food - brownie
Party food - pizza

Thing is, I got the medal in a game where I hadn't yet gotten everything. So that means it would have to accept pickups spread over multiple games, but that makes even less sense. I must have picked one up without realizing it, while tripping on Tiger Blood or something.

Also, not only can you get the 100 cars medal from cars destroying themselves, you can get the 10 barricades medal that way too. The 10 barricades medal just sort of popped up on its own for me in my first game today, then in the second I got 100 cars. I played both at level 1 since my focus wasn't on points, but my second game I got over 10 million points. On level 1. It's a shame I've never done that well on level 4.

Anyway, another game down the hatch.
