Hmm do you have any adblockers or security stuff that might prevent the API connection from happening?

Uhh, I'm not sure. Let me check...


Edit: Well, I'm positive I'm not using an adblocker. There are however these two security things called Avast SecureLine and McAfee Safe Connect that came preinstalled on my computer that could be causing the trouble. I'm going to look into this.

OKAY, so I just turned off Google's safe browsing and that seemed to do the trick. I guess I'll have to leave it off whenever the mood strikes for medal hunting.

@TomFulp - you've got a broken medal in your last game! With the moderator power given me by the Staff I hereby order you to fix it! ;-)

Thanks for listing! I already informed all of the authors that they have to implement the medals (some of them even weeks ago), to no avail.

So, @TomFulp - time for a clean up! ;-)

Likely needs to be set to HTTP

The in-game error is "It looks like Susie and Giles are asleep at Dictionary Corner."

Game is still playable, and some (but not all) medals still earnable, but this will severely restrict the total number of points that may be obtained, making some medals no longer earnable.

Assumption is it needs to connect to an external website (which likely uses HTTP) for some kind of validation and because it can't, you get that error.


This game will run on Newgrounds Player, but not in a flash-enabled browser, linked to this issue: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1466939


I've had a little look at the code that makes up this game, and I think I've noticed something unusual. The 'Susie and Giles are asleep' message appears to be an error message that appears when the game can't load which words are accepted.


I dug a little deeper and saw that after each round, the game tries to make a call to the author's website pacdudegames.com, with a link looking like this, dependent on the letters in the round: http://pacdudegames.com/countdown/susiedent.php?theLetters=PRLEADLKW


Is there anything that can be done to allow this connection to run?

I played this game and never received any of the medals. I checked the info section on the front page, and it shows that I earned the medals.


Has this happened to anybody else?

Yup, it stopped submitting medals for me after the boss in the garden. Refreshed, beat the boss again and it was working. There doesn't seem to be any retroactive awarding in this game.

These medal games don't load correctly for me anymore.



Can anyone else get them to load?

These might not work until either Ruffle supports them or NG Player gets the update to keep working correctly.

If you are using NG Player then you've got to have a browser supporting original Flash as well. Both games work perfectly on original Flash, so you may try to disable NG Player (check your account settings) and then they should work just fine.

Actually the fact that the game's medals are broken doesn't justify 0-bombing it since the game itself is fully functional.

Tankmen vs bats - Kornao

Not used Authentication and Medals for C3


Problem solved. I forgot to enter App ID x)


Kruno's post has reminded me to let you know of some new broken games,


Medals never working:


The music medal in Shrimpo's Odyssey is broken for everyone:


Medals never working Scratch game:

(At this point, I am wondering if it is even possible to add medals to a game made in Scratch? I can't think of a single NG game with medals made in Scratch.)


Also, this user is having trouble with uploading to the NG portal, can anyone help him?


P.S.


For the record, the tankman game is fixed.


Also, the new clock crew game only has a small bug in it meaning the medals won't award, I've PMed the author of what to do to fix it.

Response to Official Broken Medals Thread 2021-05-03 18:51:49


Hello. I recently played this game (https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/559714) and got all the medals ingame but they weren't unlocked on my account. I even have the game save with the medals unlocked.

Response to Official Broken Medals Thread 2021-05-20 18:06:45


Some issues that are happening a lot and have consistently happened since that Friday Night Funkin game got popular and had the big surge of new users come in


You can no longer click from a medal to get to the game that medal is from.


Medals have a huge delay in appearing on the game's page. You will have unlocked the medal, it will be on your account, you can click on any individual medal to see if you unlocked it or not, but they will all falsely appear to be still locked until sometimes days later. It does end up appearing on the game's page but yes it takes days.


Due to this, many people have falsely believed various medals to be broken and in fact they're not broken, you have the medal, check back in a few days.

Some broken games:


2 player pong remade


Pong DX


Neogio the neon guy


Vs Light flash tank man


Scratcher light flash edition


Simple Run And Jump


Also, an old one, I am 99% sure the 444 seconds medal in PILO will not be rewarded, even if you manage to get it within 444 seconds, which is just possible, but incredibly difficult.

Response to Official Broken Medals Thread 2021-06-05 16:10:36


There seems to be an odd glitch in games displaying medals that were previously rejected. For example, for Drop the Bomb:



There is a medal in the Medals box called "Someone Set Us Up the Bomb", but this medal was rejected years ago because it is unobtainable. The medal is not contained in the medals variable.



I should have "Finally" and "Clean Sweep," but I don't have them despite beating all other levels. Strangely enough, I do have "Full House," which seemingly requires the rest of the medals...?

Did you beat the final level? It is possible that something failed for you because of the lag there. Maybe try to replay that level? You can also try to ask the author for adding something like "re-send medals" or "sync medals" feature.

I did, after an unreasonable number of tries. If lag caused it once, it'll cause it again; there's always a lot of blood on the screen when you get to the last stretch of the level, and that's what makes it lag.

Since a lot of games with not functional medals have been submitted recently I got a message to @DrNefarius @DaKIRB @Mangelrex @Maxfilm @STANNco and @WaffleAndRocks

If you add medals to your games make them work first. They should be properly implemented and tested. Check information about API tools to know how to do it. If they will remain broken you can be 100% sure that they'll be removed.

Hey it's DAKirb, here and I made that game in May of this year and I didn't use a software that could register medals, since I now make games using Stencyl, I might be able to register medals!

Another message to several game developers (to some of them for the second time): @neonblvd @vxdja @DerpChest @Kade-Developer @PerezNG @ScriptedMatt @Mangelrex @Webtoon

Either implement the medals in your games or remove them. We usually give the authors some time to deal with this, usually like 1-2 weeks, but medals cannot stay broken forever.
