I'm having a problem with this hack.
I've installed it all, and everything works bar the game on the template.
The page loads, but the .swf file embedded just stays a black square.
You can find the problem: http://www.fivestarsplash.com/vb/proarcade.php?s=&action=main
While looking in the HTML, I found this code:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.fivestarsplash.com/vb/gamesbreakout.swf?location=/vb&gamename=breakout&gamehash=1dd6b791b43a12443931f017f9f48e5b&s=">
...
<embed src="http://www.fivestarsplash.com/vb/gamesbreakout.swf" ...
Should these not be:
<param name="movie" value="http://www.fivestarsplash.com/vb/gamesbreakout.swf?" location="/vb" gamename="breakout" gamehash="1dd6b791b43a12443931f017f9f48e5b&s=">
...
<embed src="http://www.fivestarsplash.com/vb/games/breakout.swf" ...
I don't know how to change that in the template, since it's all included in the $gamecode parameter.
Any help would be genuinely appreciated.

Yeah I did that in the end, and all my scores started again from zero. Also I cleared the high scores in the admin control panel arcade bit just to make sure the crowns went to the right person.
Worked fine.

I didn't manage to browse through 68 pages of responses, but I figured I'd post up my experience. Had no problems with installation. Only minor tweaks:
1) the .php and .swf files in the zip were all had permissions of 600, which meant the webserver couldn't deliver them. Once I chmod'ed 'em, they all worked.
2) The path to the swf files took a bit of working out. Maybe the admin description should indicate what the path is relative to. Also, starting a path with / typically means its coming off the root directory, which these clearly are not.
Very minor issues, but all else seems to be working well. Thanks for the great hack.

I may have to go back to the drawing board on security. I was trying to think up a good way to add true encryption to the scores (e.g. PGP) but I am not sure I can pull it off with ActionScript. I will continue the search.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone, in the mean time while futureal is working on the security issues +, has a temporary fix for the score redirect problem?

this is a pretty cool hack.
but i found it a pain in the ass, to copy / paste 23 templates.
so i converted them all to files. and now you can add them with a few clicks (you need firefly's template backup system)

the template files are attached to this post.
I hope this templates can be attached to the hack.

Hi it seems that the hack with a mac goes to the main directory and it works differently in for PC users.
Since it looks for yourdomain.com/proarcade.php instaed of forums/proarcade.php
I added this PHP Redirect and put it in the / that gets the 404 - Now my mac users go back into the aracde and can play. The scores are high so I dont know if they actually get the high score screen. Since can't beat my users scores :(
I dont think that would work since even a low score can comment is there an action or little more some one could suggest to add to make the scoreboard / comments come up
anyway - put this where you need to put it and save it as proarcade.php
This simple redirect works :)

Hmm, do you have $gamedescription in your vbproarcade_arcadebit template? Do you have $gametext in your vbproarcade_arcade_gamedesc_icon and vbproarcade_arcade_gamedesc_noicon templates? Those are the templates that deal with that. Also, check in the vBProArcade section in the admin cp, under 'Modify Games' as that is where you state what you want the description for each gameto be. Still, by default the descriptions should show.
As for problems my time looks buggered. Say I play a game then immediately look at my most recent game stats it shows up as 7 hours before.

I scanned this thread quickly, and apparently only one other person had this problem, but he fixed it by reformatting. I'm not prepared to do that.

Well, you could try to reverse the Arcade Pass hack... :rolleyes:
But honestly, I think it's stupid to award cash for high scores... Maybe it could be like a lottery... The top 3 players from each game at the end of the week would get their names into a draw, and whatever name is randomly picked wins a cash prize! :D
It would be cool, but could also get hard to code. Anyone that's interested in this plan, PM me and we can discuss how we'll start.

instead of a site paying out cash, why not make it like a real arcade and have people pay the site somehow to play :classic: ( each time they can deposit like $10, to play a game would be a quarter..and it would go towards a credit each time even when they get high score....ya know like a real arcade game would do) it could work out so that the money to play the games would go to bandwidth and maintenance of the site...

Ok, I read this all the way to page 36 before I realized there were 72 pages. So keep that in mind when you read this. I didn't make it through ALL the history.
Here's what I'm getting:
If I use IE, scores post just fine, and it sends the user to the proper URL after the game finishes:
http://pebkac.trippy.org/forums/vbproarcade.php
However, when I use mozilla (latest version and latest flash), it forwards instead to:
http://pebkac.trippy.org/vbproarcade.php
which doesn't exist. Is this back to browser compatibility? Is this what the 'Known Bugs' is referring to?
Anyways, wonderful hack. I just use IE when I'm playing the games, and all is well.

I didn't manage to browse through 68 pages of responses, but I figured I'd post up my experience. Had no problems with installation. Only minor tweaks:
1) the .php and .swf files in the zip were all had permissions of 600, which meant the webserver couldn't deliver them. Once I chmod'ed 'em, they all worked.
2) The path to the swf files took a bit of working out. Maybe the admin description should indicate what the path is relative to. Also, starting a path with / typically means its coming off the root directory, which these clearly are not.
Very minor issues, but all else seems to be working well. Thanks for the great hack.

nm, i got it. it seems i didnt edit the admin/index.php. i know i did but i guess it didn't save or something. it works fine now. you need to put your graphics in your games folder, and your game folder in your root directory. and chmod all the php files you added.

Well, you could try to reverse the Arcade Pass hack... :rolleyes:
But honestly, I think it's stupid to award cash for high scores... Maybe it could be like a lottery... The top 3 players from each game at the end of the week would get their names into a draw, and whatever name is randomly picked wins a cash prize! :D
It would be cool, but could also get hard to code. Anyone that's interested in this plan, PM me and we can discuss how we'll start.
I see. well we wanted to do it the coding way so we could be lazy, lol. The lottery idea was a fallback plan and I guess we'll do it that way.

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.
i wasn't cheating i was playing nicely when in level 2 i got 5000 score........and that came up.
What's the deal with this and how can I fix this??

If I use IE, scores post just fine, and it sends the user to the proper URL after the game finishes:
http://pebkac.trippy.org/forums/vbproarcade.php
However, when I use mozilla (latest version and latest flash), it forwards instead to:
http://pebkac.trippy.org/vbproarcade.php
which doesn't exist. Is this back to browser compatibility? Is this what the 'Known Bugs' is referring to?
Anyways, wonderful hack. I just use IE when I'm playing the games, and all is well.
This has to do with how mozilla does not handle POST data correctly from Flash's ActionScript.
What is happening is that the forum gives control to the Flash game, the user plays, and then the Flash game returns control to the forum. This means that the Flash game has to know where to redirect to in order to keep the script going.
I haven't been able to get Flash to communicate the URL correctly with Mozilla-based browsers. If anybody knows a solution to this, I am happy to hear it.

Just how do I edit these .fla files to make them edited .swf files? I tried pasting your code into a .fla file and renaming it gamename.swf and that just gets me a blank screen. I assume all those bleep files and stuff need incorporating. Could we have a concise account of what to do with these .fla files? where to put the code and what to do with the files afterwards? The hacks says nothing about having to publish .fla files in Flash.

Futureal,
Firstly, thank you for a fantastic hack here.
This is probably one of the best hacks I have ever seen for vBulletin. My site is dedicated to retro games, chat and consoles. It is perfect for it.
I have a slight probably that I'd love to get resolved if you'd be good enough to help. I am on vBulletin 2.3.0 and all is installed and appears to be working fine. However, the formatting of the tables seems to be wrong, all in blue.
Can you confirm that this is how it should be, or perhaps suggest how to fix it?
Also, my timezone is different from that of the servers. Is there a way to adjust this?
Finally, I cannot upload new images or thumbnails. It just returns to the "Modify" screen after I click on Update for a certain game. I am trying to add Asteroids, but cannot add the crown or the thumbnail.
Again thanks for a great hack, and if I can get this fully working with assistance then I'd really appricahte it.
Many thanks,
Harvey.

Nah, it is definitely still beta. There are a number of issues that need to be resolved before I'll consider it worthy of a "Full Release" status. Most of the issues should have been resolved by now and I take full responsibility for releasing incomplete and buggy code and not fixing it in time.
I think we will see a "Full Release" yet, though. :)

If you just want to reinstall the games, you can just re-do the arcadegames table.
You would execute:
DROP TABLE arcadegames;
And then re-run the query that creats the arcadegames table and inserts that data into it.

My community loves it, I've got 8 games installed with beta 2 so far :) I'm looking for Donkey Kong, I found the swf after reading all 22 threads on arcade 1, and then all 73 posts in this threads here.
What would need for Donky Kong to run? aka Hash and Scrore setting?
this is an example of what my site looks like so far with your awesome script.
http://www.bael-zharon.com/forum/proarcade.php

If all you have is the SWF, it will not work with the hack. You need to get access to the source itself (the .FLA file) so that you can add the necessary information to the game to interact with the arcade.
Check out the Flash Games Development thread in this same forum (Beta Hacks) for more information on how to convert a game to an arcade-compatible format.

This almost certainly sounds like its not pointing to the correct directory where your games are stored. Go to admincp and under the 'General Options' for the arcade just put it a path from the root of your server, i.e. /forum/games. You might just be missing something really simple - double check.
As a further check, when you load that page where the game doesn't work, just look at the source code [View | Source] in IE and then see what path is actually being used :).

Actually, the colors were chosen by design and worked on a fresh vBulletin installation. Granted, I'm by no means a design professional, but I thought they looked OK. Now depending on how individual forums' color schemes are, it may or may not look good, but as you said, you can always change the values.
I plan on re-doing the templates completely for the hack one vBulletin 3 comes out (and yes, there will be a version for vB3 as soon as I can get my hands on the code).

futureal, how would you make the games get a variable first (like points), then play the game (and do something with the points, although how to do that is not really important) and eventually when the game is over submit the points as well as the score? I would like a gamble flash game in the arcade that makes use of the store points but I (and the person developing the gamble game) does not know how to get variables from the database.

Is that 1,7 million possible, or even worse, did he managed to cheat here?

and that snowcat's calculation, maybe its usefull:
I cleared that v shaped blockage on level 10. Then it was clear crusing through the last 1000 lines.
math:
1000 lines /3 combos * 250pts avg = 84333 pts (approx)
10 levels * 5000 pts average = 45000 pts (minimum)
45000 level pts + 84333 combo pts = 151333 pts (approx minimum)
still, that makes like 300.000.. still miss like 1,4 million..

Nah, you can get that kinda score. Look at my board in the sig...
The way it works is at that level, you can bet between 250-1000 points every drop of the brick. It is actually easier to go for clearing single lines and droping the bricks down.
One of my users has 1.8 million! Took 133 mins.

I am having this same problem for some reason. Does anybody have a suggestion?
this problem is still killing the arcade on my boards. I have uploaded a new proarcade.php, but it still persist. Does anybody know why it would redirect to: http://proarcade.php/ after playing a game instead of letting the user input a comment?

Put this in your main directory and change the settings of the redirect to your path. Mac users will continue to play but cannot comment or enter scores. I have found no way to fix that issue for mac users like me.
But it will not 404 anymore<?php

After I installed this hack, once in a while I'll have a lot of guests on from the same hostname which always appear to be in the arcade. This happens even when the actual user is somewhere else, like reading or replying to a thread.
Any ideas why?

Regarding Tetris scores, the highest I've seen are in the 1.6-1.9 million range. Given that they usually occur on my forums from the same people, and with similar durations, I tend to believe that they are real.

pretty easy really, all thease last games have been ripped from that german game board (link has been added here before) it's not a vbb, and someone sad that they doesn't work on vbb (but they do) I tested 10 of them and 7 was working, that game was one of them ;) and there have been several game added the last few days from that board (like kart racing, shooter and so on)
It doesn't have anything to do with the hack itself, it's the game that does that, someone needs to edit the fla file and change that. And for those of you who took them and didnt give the guy who really modify them SHAME!
I'm supprised i havent seen all of them here yet tho, there is still like 10 games out there that really works on vb arcade 2.0, and all of them work on vb 1.0

Um, excuse me? I think you need to get your facts straight before making accusations. I got Kart Racer (and all other games I posted) from this site:
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/Full_Game_Source/
All games that I released were modified by ME, not that site you mentioned.

but if you really did modify them yourself then i'm sorry.
EvilLS1
04-08-2003, 11:03 PM
1. Lots of boards have working games that they got from that same place (flashkit.com) and they just haven't released them for whatever reason. The only difference between me and them is that I decided to share them with everyone while they choose to keep them for themselves.
2. If a game has german comments its because its written into the game itself, not the code added to make it work with vBulletin proarcade.
I can assure you, all games that I released were modified by me. Also, the shooter game that "The Wedge" released came from flashkit.com aswell. I saw it there when I was looking for games to modify.
Its very easy to modify games to work with vB, so there's really no need for anyone to "rip" pre-modded games from other sites. ;)

1. I know, most of them comes from those german game boards from the start (they uses a modify version of this arcade hack) and the guy who have modify those games dont have a vbb, so he doesn't come here (thats why they cant be found here) and other vbb has them too, but i guess they dont wanna release somthing they dont have done themself here (or they dont get permission from the guy who did)
2. I know, thats what i was trying to say ;) "someone" have modify it so there is german text insted of "No Comment" (if you dont type any comments. And that only happend with "some" games, the same games that those german boards have modify.
But like i sad, sorry if i was wrong abot you're game, i know 100% that the pinball game that was submitted comes from a german board tho, the guy who submitted it still had that guys name in it (who modify it)
Sorry! no need to keep this up, right? i'm sorry and it was all my fault, and this is why i never types anything :P

Is there a way to prune low scores so they don't take up space in the database? I would onlylike to keep the top 10 scores. . .

04-09-2003, 07:17 PM
Why are people so concerned about the scores taking up too much space in the database? I currently have almost 4,000 scores recorded and it only takes up 366 KB of space. My entire database is 334 MB, so that means the scores are taking up about 0.001% of the entire database.

vb Pro Arcade beta 2 - Install Addon v1.0
Addon Update by: PixelFX
I've posted proper credits in install readme included in zip. I talked to fuctureal and he said to go ahead and post this. I hope you guys find it useful.
FIRST BACKUP your database:
This hack/addon in conjunction with the main install.txt file that comes with vb pro arcade beta 2.
This is a two part template hack, bug fix and way to speed up the install of vb arcade beta 2,
When I first installed this hack, there is a section where your personal score boards are black, and the links don't work linking back to your main arcade. This addon fixes that, shows you what I changes.
I also seperated all 23 templates in the install zip into 23 template txt files. Which I've included in the zip. In my install readme I've explained how you can install all 23 templates in just under 5 seconds :P
example of how my arcade looks with this addon,

using the crown system, is there any way to create a dual crown system so the highest high score is permanently recorded for one score while another is the weekly high score?
I'll try to explain this again just so I won't be misunderstood. I want to create a dual crown system, one that is the highest score ever for each game while the other one is a weekly high score. This way every member has a chance to get a crown weekly while the highest score is also rewarded constantly instead of just being a weekly thing... any thoughts?

Just wondered if there was and update on all the compatibility problems.

A very IE only hack (not that i'm complaining but all my users would love to take part!)

04-22-2003, 08:33 PM
I am truly doing what I can to solve the interoperability problems, but it is more of a Flash/PHP/Browser issue than anything I can solve with coding.
I don't have a Mac available to me to test with, and I was previously unaware of Mac-related problems. I will keep trying, though. There are people developing stuff on FlashKit that have had limited success with stuff.
I am also probably going to toss the hash security in stuff in favor of something else. It is still easily broken and is probably more pain than it's worth. One easy solution is just to give a security error if the HTTP_GET_VARS (I think that's the identifier) shows up as existing, since everything should be sent via POST. Still, though, that does not prevent somebody from editing values directly in memory.

Then go through this thread to see if any of your bugs have been addressed, if not post them, for futureal to review. This will help speed up the process.

Although I personally don't know what sleep is, I've heard it does wonders for helping get stable releases out ;)
I'm not talking about bugs. I have no problems with the arcade except the optimization of it and Futureal has already addressed that a more optimized version was in the works.
I'm asking when it's coming out.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before in the 81 pages of this thread, but it would be nice on the page where you add a comment if a person had a choice not to submit their score... Sometimes it just doesn't make sense if the game ends right away and they have a score of 1... lol..

once we add more games the list is pretty long, it might be good to have a drop down menu to select which game to modify instead of list the games out directly

It makes all of the Vbproarcade templates into one category.

Try using Internet Explorer (assuming you aren't doing). All cases I've heard with this problem are using Opera, or maybe Netscape, and frankly Netscape is SAID in the details for this hack to not be very compatible with ProArcade.

hmm, try doing this:
go into phpmyadmin run this query:
SELECT *
FROM `arcadeconfig` LIMIT 0 , 30
edit the row in the table. Find the "useraccess" row.
the value should say something like this
1 2 5 6 7
add all the usergroup ids that you want access to the arcade.
for example, if i want my "A group" to have access to the arcade and their usergroup id is 9,
i would do this:
1 2 5 6 7 9
hope this helps :)
DigitalDesktops
04-27-2003, 02:49 AM
or another way you could do this is edit it via Admin CP. lol :D
go into the general options of the arcade.
Find "Current Groups that can Use Arcade"
you should be able to add/remove the user groups below that.

In your Forum Admin go to the edit templates area. Under Custom templates there will be a bunch of templates that start with vbarcade or something to that effect. You have to find the proper templates that include the tables you want to change and change the bg colors.

Its and issue with your style table background image, it's loading a background image in the table fields of your main forum's style.
You need to find where table background is loading in your forum style and either delete just the background image, aka background="image.gif" it or change the vb arcade code to use a background other than the table background ;) did that make sence?
Hopefully that will help ya. or point you in the right direction...

Is it possible to upgrade from Beta 1 to Beta 2 without having to go through uninstalling Beta 1 first?
futureal
04-29-2003, 12:59 AM
GaleForce: Sadly, not really.
The templates you could probably just replace with never versions, rather than removing the old ones.
The SQL tables should be removed and then re-installed.
The actual code changes will mostly be in the same places, but not necessarily. That's why I've recommended uninstalling the original Beta 1 before installing Beta 2.
GaleForce
04-29-2003, 01:27 AM
I don't have the instructions to Beta 1 installation, could you attach those so that I can download them and use them to uninstall beta 1? Thanks.

This is what is done for Beta 2.1 so far:
- Fixed SQL Error in User Detail Screen
- Fixed Game Ordering in User Detail Screen
- Fixed $bburl in User Detail Screen
- Fixed Mini-Scoreboard Display to show "Nobody" when a game is new
- Added Additional $_GET security (check for GET variables)
- Optimized Mini-Scoreboard Display, now 1 query per game
- Added Additional Statistics to Arcade Page (total users, games, time)
- Added Browser Compatibility Disclaimer
Before I release this sucker, can anybody think of anything else (major) that needs to be addressed?
I don't plan on adding any new features to the Arcade until there is a close-to-100% stable version that I can actually call a true release. I am more focused on fixing bugs and compatibility problems right now.

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.
I keep getting that error whenever I try to play. Other than that, the new arcade (Version 2) is very good. Would you mind modifying the 2.1 instructions a bit so that us 2.0 users could just upgrade instead of reinstalling it? Or you could just offer it as an upgrade, like install 2.0 first, and then install this "patch" :)
Also, how can I reduce the font size used for the $vpachamptext variable?

I checked out your demo site, it looks great, did you change the admin cp at all? otherwise from an outside look I can't wait to install it :)

I don't know if this is the case with the proarcade but i read a page with the warning of a vulnarabilty in highscores (in general), where people can alter the score if they know the way it is set to the database, for example www.test.com/forum/proarcade.php?name=You&score=**** or something like that. I did'nt test this though and i hope this is a problem already solved or irrelevant. ;)

You can't, because the page send the flash thing a hash, and then the flash page does something and sends the hash back...
That is why there is a hash code in the settings... it's what prevents people from cheating so easily...

Upgrading from Beta 2 to Beta 2.1 will be quite simple. Just upload the new files and make a few small template changes (so far).
Since I decided to stop adding features until an actual release is made, the table structure has not changed at all.

There will be upgrade instructions for all future releases. Beta 2 to 2.1, 2.1 to release (or whatever). There were no instructions for going from Beta 1.x to Beta 2 because I changed just about everything... there really was no possible upgrade path.

I decided to do some cosmetic work on the admin side of things, which is something I've been meaning to do for awhile. I want to eliminate the step of adding code to adminfunctions.php, so I will just do my own HTML formatting for the admin section.
Since it will be less dependant on vB's predefined functions, this will also make it much easier to "drop" the hack into vB3 when it is released.
GaleForce

I think this would be a nice feature; the hack automatically putting in the HTML code for the flash file, but allowing you to define the width and the height when adding/editing a game (in a text box). Also, if someone wanted to edit the HTML embed code, you could always offer an [Edit HTML Code] button somewhere. That would be pretty cool, if you can do it :)

futureal - A nice addition I added to my forums that you might be interested in including with the next version would be allowing the users to select different sizes for the games. I altered mine a little so it has a default size, then the users can pick a size 0.75, 1.25, 1.50, or 2 times as large. It's not very hard to do and IMO it's a great feature. :)
