Try dat now und see whut ya get.

Not gud, not gud, medals still work nicht! Need help!

@Munguia - it seems like the medals in your Blind Typer game are not working, could you take a look at it?

Wait until the 1st of the month and try again. It's possible it's a nutcasenightmare api game, in which case whose always work near the beginning of the month and then stop working near the end of the month, repeat every month. It's because there is only so much bandwidth for it and it uses an external site which if lots of people play those games eats up all the bandwidth before the month is up, which happens frequently.

A site-wide fix is possible but it would require someone with admin privileges to enact. What they would need to do is copy the functionality of the nutcasenightmare medals api, except host it on newgrounds itself (or whatever newgrounds-owned site officially hosts that stuff) and then run a script on the site going through all instances where the nutcasenightmare medals api website URL is called, and replacing with the newgrounds-owned site URL. Would then take some time while the script worked in the background doing all the search-and-replace. At that point the entire problem would be fixed though, provided the replacement API was indeed fully compatible.

Again, requires an admin to do though.

And I don't know if this particular game is nutcasenightmare medals api but it might be because it seems to be HTML5. Just wait until next month and try and that will give your answer. If it works at that time, it's nutcasenightmare medals api game.

@Glamdrung - do you remember this game?

I do remember playing it but no longer have the computer I played it on to check. I'm pretty sure I played it to completion but got shafted (I may not have gone for all of the medals, like the one for drifting, but the ones for beating every level, not shooting, killing 100 I probably did).

The issues with the world chaser game medals are also still a problem.

Thanks for information. 7 of these medals haven't been even tested by the author, so they are probably not working. The problem is that they are being displayed under the game anyway.

As for the World chaser... I have to admit that I never fully understood what is going on in this game, but I have spoken with the author in the past, so I'll ask him to make some cleaning there.

Something like that's really hard because it's probably a) a huge amount of skill combined with also b) unreasonable luck.

So unless someone has actually done it but not been awarded the medal, and are absolutely sure they have them *all*, then it's really hard to say if the medal is broken or if it's just really hard but possible to do, just not been done yet.

There definitely are 0 points medals in older games which indeed are possible to do, but just so hard no one has ever done them yet. And of course once a single person does it it becomes no longer 0 points. I myself have nabbed some of those ancient 0-pointers on some games but there still exist more.

Not broken medal unless it's literally impossible (and this is absolutely certain) *or* many people have achieved it but no medal and still at the 0 points.

Drugged Driver for example has a 0 points medal I'm very sure is possible to achieve, but simply no one has (yet) done it because it's so hard to do requiring huge skill *and* unreasonable luck, but I'm almost certain it is doable. It's very possible I might achieve that one at some point though I have so far failed at it. (You have to lose with *exactly* 666 score, on the dot!, with at least one drug)

It seems like only the "Tap the stooge!" medal is not working. I see that the other medals are working fine, but this one shows that it was achieved in-game which it doesn't apply to your profile.

So it was a nutcasenightmare API game, as I suspected?

Or was something actually changed?

Again, near the beginning of the month, so all those will work again until the bandwidth for it is used up, which depends how many people play such games, but usually ends before the month is up.

The Circle 1 medal has only ever been awarded to the author.
The Hardcore Mr. Smiley, Heavenly Apple, and Dora the explorer medals have never been awarded to anyone ever.

You reminded me about this game, so I tried it today and if there isn't an extremely rare circle 1 area, then this medal is not obtainable, because even after about 40 minutes of constant gameplay (one playthrough without dying) I haven't met the last one I am missing. This also means that the Dora medal is impossible to get, because you will always miss at least one area. I am also not sure how lucky somebody would have to be to finally advance from the circle 3 area to circle 4. According to the game there is only some 6% chance for that to happen, but I passed lots of circle 3 scenarios and still nothing. So far I decided to remove the medals for the 1st circle - unless somebody will prove that this last area actually exists - and the Dora one. Since only the author unlocked one of them it will cause no harm to anybody.

Well that would actually require somebody to test them - pass the whole game - and say that both non-secret medals don't work. I personally tried several times - and failed miserably ;-)

Did anybody do it recently?

If I remember well, all 3 medals have been confirmed to be broken. They should be removed since the author doesn't even seem to be active on the site anymore so they hardly will be fixed.

I don't specifically remember who stated it but I'm pretty sure I saw it, even some people in the review say it. Also, the fact that the last unlock for each of the 3 medals is in 2012 (considering that a LOT of people unlocked them in 2012 and, suddenly, it abruptly ends) makes one think that they're broken. And of course, you can check out the secret medal, which is the easy one since it is unlocked for dying 127 times, and see that it doesn't work as NekoMika stated. And the other 2 medals wouldn't be exception.

About the secret medal - right. I'll check those reviews if they were written by credible users. I think NeonSpider mentioned it some time ago - and he is also right about another thing he mentioned back then that probably some of the users cheated in this game somehow, I even recognize some of the names.

Those medals were unlocked last time few years ago, so it has nothing to do with https.

Some things have been successfully fixed recently, but there are also some bad news. Few games are entirely broken and should be completely unpublished, because they are no longer functional. And since people would want to know what vanished I decided to put it here.

I told you about it some time ago. i already removed 3 medals from it, but I think there is no sense in keeping the game just to make it possible to play just the first level since the game freezes every time you try to enter the shop.

• Unpublished Submission

It also has been mentioned recently. I talked with the author and it looks like he won't be able to fix it and remove that information showing up every time the game the game loads, blocking all abilities to actually play it. I told him that the game may be unpublished if it won't be fixed, but he did not respond to this.

• Unpublished Submission

The NG build of this game is broken and the author is not willing to fix it despite my numerous PMs about it. After any of the levels is finished the game fails to end it and take the player to another level.

2 Unity games that the authors failed to move either to WebGL or html5 - or rather never responded being asked to do so:

Is there any chance that the issues with medals not unlocking on this game could be solved by reverting it to http? There hasn't been an unlock for it since September of 2017. I also tried my hand at trying to get them unlocked, just in case the author had fixed the medal issues since then. No dice on three different browsers.

Sorry been off newgrounds for a few weeks, very busy atm but will try have an update to fix the medals this week :)

You actually don't need to do anything with the medals, since switching your games to http fixed the problem, but if you would want to-for example-try to make one of your games unlock medals under https - and inform what is needed to do so - it would be great :-)

I am personally especially pissed because of PRO-R, I invested a lot of time in upgrading my ship and wanted to give it one more try for the rest of the medals, but I haven't heard from the author for 2-3 weeks now.
