I must confess I jizzed in my pants a little bit when I saw all those medals.


Excuse me, I'm looking for a car that's been tricked out to look like an ice cream truck.

I could use a strapping young man to do some chores around the house!

AHHH! JACKPOT!

I've been waiting for this one for ages. *kisses productivity goodbye*
Some medals didn't register for me though. 300 damage, walking into the forest for the first time...
Any way to "re-register" them without having to start a new game up?

I have the same problem, I unlocked 10 medals but none appeared on my profile, why is this happening?

I believe there's a problem that's affecting certain games. See: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1330712

Same thing is happening to me ._. I should have at least 6 medals on my profile but they aren't on there.

I'm getting that too...although if they register somewhere it means that they can put them on your profile properly once they fix it (since there is "proof" that you got them).
I remember older EBF games having a "resend medals" button.
By the way, OHMAHGAWD EBF4!
I played the first 3 to death, I even wrote an immense guide for #2 (I believe it was the longest on NG at the time, I don't know if that's still true).
Let's see if I can get all medals for this one (probably not, lol :D).

Better think twice unless you want to spend hours on end grinding to Level 40 and setting up meticulously just to deal 3 million damage to something with a powerful attack.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2013-03-12 08:08:31


I think antacid, antacid 2, and Now You See me medals might be broke in Replicus. Im pretty sure I met the requirements. Can anyone confirm?

Well, keep in mind that I know the game mechanics very well, although if it gets too ridiculous I won't finish it on maximum difficulty, but it hasn't been TOO hard yet (I bet it will be quite soon though).

Medals do not unlock for me..

Any new bugs notwithstanding, most of those old bugs with the medals should finally be fixed.

Some things to remember... if an author or mod un-publishes a game you have medals in, your score will drop until they re-instate said medals.

The new global stats page updates hourly, it's not real time.

And finally, there's probably new bugs... this IS my handiwork after all....

I'm not sure if this was intentional, but the new medal stats feature completely reveals the "secret" medals.

So like I said, there was a new bug. Anything that was unlocked before about an hour ago didn't get applied to your total scores. Frankly its not something I can easily update automatically, so if you want your totals updated, shoot me a PM with a link to the medal that didn't apply and I'll get you adjusted. Offer is only valid for medals unlocked today that didn't apply!

Also I had to fix the bug that shows secret medal details, but I got a small compromise. At least now you can see the name of the medal, so you'll know what to ask about if you need help unlocking it.

Response to Newgrounds Medals - Games and Tips 2013-03-12 21:48:32


actually, to be more accurate, the bug only effects games you never played before today. So just link me to the actual game and I'll just apply any medals for the entire game.

Further clarification... if you unlocked a medal in a game and it didn't unlock to your profile, thats not a bug on our end, its probably a broken medal. I found a couple that look like they used to work but the last time they were unlocked was like a year ago, so I marked them as broken.

Interesting. It would be easy for a few of us to give you a pretty accurate list of broken medals. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few medals out there that haven't been unlocked for over a year, but definitely work. For instance the 100pt medals in games like Lastman, Alkie Kong 2 and Icy Caves of Frustration. I'm really excited by all the great new features you've been working on, I just hope I won't lose some of the extremely hard medals I earned in the past. =)

That makes me curious, unless the API is actually removed from the flash, how can medals just break over time? Is the old version of the API somehow incompatible with the updated medal system?

Irrelevant to question/quote above, new game:

Uasually what I do is look at our database and compare the last unlock date with the last time the core game file was updated. If medals have been unlocked since the last update, then I open up Fiddler and give the game a play. The first thing I check via fiddler is whether it's calling our ngads.com domain to pull the medal details from our servers. Then I play for a while and see what happens when I SHOULD get a medal. If it doesn't send a call to the ngads.com domain, its pretty obvious that the game itself is broken.

Sometimes what happens is the game runs some other API from another company, and those can sometimes cause unexpected issues in flash as the server-side stuff for those api's changes. Sometimes it's just broken updates in your browser too... most notoriously in Chrome.

A good example is *Flight*. It seems like the medals in that game work, but every now and then it won't try connecting to the ngads.com domain when you fire the game up. It seems like its due to another API they are using possibly breaking the security sandbox or something.
