Updates
==========================
1.0.0 - Initial release

1.0.1 - Bug fix update
? This release addressed a couple of small bugs. Information on fixing
these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

1.0.2 - Bug fixes and new features
? This release makes all games on the Arcade main page appear in the
order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)
? It includes a
page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)
? This release should be less CPU intensive than previous versions.

1.0.3 - Bug fixes
? Security fixes

History & Hack Information
- So, what is the v3 Arcade?
The v3 Arcade is exactly what the name implies - an online games arcade that offers seamless integration with your vBulletin forum.

The v3 Arcade is the first of the new generation of vBulletin additions. Back from its roots, the v3 Arcade is the vBulletin 3 edition of my original Arcade written in late 2002 (not to be confused with futureal's 'ProArcade', which was written during the Arcade's beta phase).

v3 Arcade Features Include:
? Integrated Flash gaming for vBulletin 3
? Advanced leader board system
? FULL Mozilla/Netscape Compatibility
? Moderation abilities for Mods/Super Mods/Admins
? PM & Email notification for events
? Advanced statistics for all users
? A higher level of security
? "Arcade Challenges", 1-on-1 contests between users
? Arcade awards system
? Automated and manual score pruning tools

This installation comes loaded with the following games:
? Tetris
? Snake
? Asteroids
? Chopper Challenge
? Space Invaders

If you have the source (.FLA) for a game that you want to use in the v3 Arcade, you can send the required files to john@v3arcade.com for conversion. (Providing permission has been given by the original author.) Within a reasonable delay, I'll post the converted game and installation script on vBulletin.org.


Testing
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.3, across multiple unhacked installations.


Thanks to...
? Kura: For helping out with vB3 difficulties!
? Erwin: Whose vB2 Flash Player inspired the original hacks
? Paul Neave: For providing the source for 4 of the standard v3 Arcade games


IMPORTANT NOTES
? If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. There are going to be some updates for this which you're really not going to want to miss!
? Each Arcade page has an Eovie Interactive and Flash Player link at the bottom. This is optional, but greatly appreciated. :)
? You may have noticed that this release of the v3 Arcade is not fully phrased. To phrase the arcade would require well over a hundred phrases to be added, making for a lengthy installation process! Futures version of the v3 Arcade will be phrased, with a more automated installation.
? And don't forget - BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!


Regarding the "ProArcade"
There has been a lot of debate on vb.org recently about the ownership of hack "concepts". My original Arcade hack (on which the v3 Arcade is based), was a progression of the my vBTetris Leaderboard hack - both of which came about before the ProArcade. I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Fixes
If you're installing the Arcade from scratch, there are no fixes or updates to be applied. Simply follow the instructions in Installation.txt.
If you've already installed the Arcade, make the changes in Updates.txt.

I get that when I go to arcade.php after installation. I'm using a vb3_ extension for all my tables

[badboy1]

Read the install . Scroll down and it says run the php querie into phpmyadmin. That will fix your problem.

[anabolicedge]

after uploading the functions.php file this is what errors i get

Parse error: parse error in /home/anabol/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1755

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_browser() in /home/anabol/public_html/forum/global.php on line 59

[Zachery]

John great work, ill be installing this on 2 of my sites once vB3 goes gold (to avoid rehacking alot :))

[Ajay]

Everytime I install it I get this error:
Parse error: parse error in /home/ircspy/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 1755

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_browser() in /home/ircspy/public_html/global.php on line 59
I follow the steps exactly and I don't have any hacks installed.

Then after that I upload all of the original files and overwrite the hacked ones, and I still get that error. I have to delete everything and upload all of it again.

[accyroy]

Nice work. Installation went fine (great instructions by the way) but I think I may have found a little bug... On the postbit when you are shown as champion, clicking on the little game icon doesn't insert the game id into the url. It may well be my installation - I'm just re-checking.

[Zachery]

Everytime I install it I get this error:

Ajay, i guess it's an Apna thing :)

I'm having the same problem. I think it's the functions.php file. Try putting the original functions.php file back. It doest work when you revert the changes and upload. You have to download it again from vb.com and then upload that file... i dont know what that's the case but it worked after replacing the functions.php file originally from VB

does anyone know why we're getting this error?

HELP

[Ajay]

my best guess is you dont have somthing setup right or your not using the right version of vBulletin :)
I'm using RC2, I have no idea what I could be doing wrong. Both times that I tried installing it the same error showed up. I'll try it again tomorrow and see what happens.

[anabolicedge]

my best guess is you dont have somthing setup right or your not using the right version of vBulletin :)
im using vb3 RC2... any other suggestions?

It seems to be the function.php file. I just reuploaded an untouched functions file and i dont get those errors... all that's wrong is the images dont show up in the arcade, i guess because that's where the functions.php files comes in... can i add this piece of code elsewhere?


// declares the arcade image directory
$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";

[BillaBongUSA]

HOLY MAJOLY1

Thanks for the hack, I've been waiting for this one! Works great, I haven't had any problems yet!

[MaDCaT75]

Can someone modify this copter swf (already works with the old arcade) but make it re-direct to arcade.php when clicking submit score? Thanks.

[BillaBongUSA]

We'd need the .FLA file to modify it.

[anabolicedge]

ok well i got mine to work without using the includes/functions.php file modification. I'm assuming that this mod was for the images folder only? I just uploaded the images to my /html_public/ and it works...

[Bahawolf2]

I'm having the same problem as the other user who is recieving the error upon clicking the link in the postbit. Also, deleting a comment doesn't work either, and comes up with a 404 error.

EDIT: Yet another bug.. failure to open the phrase after saving the settings.

[accyroy]

What about converting the other neave highscore game, pacman? I've attached the fla and php files here.

[corsacrazy]

can any one send me a modified fuctions file or the modifyed php files :)i cant be botherd to do all the changes manually lol

[theXME]

This is one of the hacks i'm waiting for, very great.
Thanks to the creator.

[corsacrazy]

its annoying because i wil have to do this all over again for gold :(

[corsacrazy]

any one got the fix for functions and images ? i dont like the idea of having images loose in my public_html root

[M1th]

As I've already told you John, this has got to be one of the best hack made for vB3. Great work! :)

[CHeeKY]

all fine apart from....

1. whenever anyone who is logged in, tries to play a game they get "you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:" message,

even myself as admin cant play.

Also the settings wont save for each person, just comes back saying change settings.

Please help...

[corsacrazy]

on the postbit the url when a game icon is clicked is

website.com/forums/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=

so there is no gamer id :s

what are you refering to here mate?

[MindTrix]

Congratulations on the hack. Im still drewling just from looking at the screenshots. The concept of beeing able to challenge other people is what takes this all the way ;) I'll install soon thank you.

[KuraFire]

I installed this thing without a problem...

People, keep in mind that this only works on RC2 - don't try to install this on earlier versions as that may well cause problems.

Having said that, I gotta say that I love the design of this arcade. It fits very nicely with the rest of vB3.

And YAAAY Mozilla compatibility, finally! :D


Good stuff John, Very good stuff! :)

[Breaker]

great hack, installed perfectly. only problem i came across was a parse error when trying to browse the arcade with board turned off :|

[MindTrix]

Breaker -- Post the Parse error here, and then post the code area it tells you it is comming from.

[shad-gt]

seems to be a great hack. I would install him later, if some games more converted for the hack :)

* shad-gt clicks later on install

[KuraFire]

John, are you going to make a Hack Tracking Log installer for this once you can (ie. once I have the HTL released) ? :)

[John]

after uploading the functions.php file this is what errors i get

Parse error: parse error in /home/anabol/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 1755

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_browser() in /home/anabol/public_html/forum/global.php on line 59

A lot of people have been getting this error.
I presume you're all using the Dreamweaver text editor?

The solution is, don't! ;)

Dreamweaver appears to automatically edit (and screw up) this line in functions.php (1755):
$debughtml .= " (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') === false, '?', '&amp;') . "tempusage=1\">Template Usage</a>) (<a href=\"" .

Use a different text editor to make the change to functions.php, and you won't have this problem. :)

Have you set your usergroup permissions for the arcade in the Admin CP?

[AshAbed]

ignore my post, the templates added were on a different style, thats all

If you want to install it on a different style, just change your current selected style and run the first part of the installation script again.

Yep. :)

[CHeeKY]

All groups can view and play the arcade as set in the usergroup permissions.

still get permission denied when clicking games and setting still wont save :(

[shad-gt]

i dont know who is the author of the great flash game "Curveball". It would be great if someone gets a .fla file of this game. Ive see it on a vbulletin with a hack thats called "vbulletin pro arcade" or something like that. It was a vb2.x.

Could we contact that author and ask him for some fla files?

1. Check to make sure that your bburl variable is set correctly. (I.e. the URL of your forums, in vB options.)

2. Did you add the "arcade_cp_settingssaved" phrase to the correct group? (I.e. "Control Panel Stop Message", not "GLOBAL")

[corsacrazy]

correct :o

[corsacrazy]

can you please read post 48 john :) cheers

[KuraFire]

Yep. :)
Wheeee, HTL hacks! :D

[John]

correct :o

I used Dreamweaver's text editor a lot of the time, it didn't take me long to discover that it kills functions.php when you edit it. ;)

Still, it works fine for all other files. Just use Wordpad/Notepad for those changes, and you shouldn't have any problems.

[John]

can you please read post 48 john :) cheers

In includes/functions_showthread.php

Find:
$arcade_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT shortname,title,gamesettings,highscorerid,highscor e,miniimage FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ");

Replace with:
Find:
$arcade_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT shortname,title,gamesettings,highscorerid,highscor e,miniimage,gameid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ");

can we have challenges set to on as default per user? because i cant challenge the people i want to challenge PLUS is it possible to make it clearer on HOW to challenge a member (i know the link is in their arcade stats page) but its only on some pages and itsnt clear for users as i have already had many pms about how to challenge

[John]

To turn on challenges by default for all new users, run this query:
ALTER TABLE `user` CHANGE `arcadesettings` `arcadesettings` INT(13) UNSIGNED DEFAULT "15" NOT NULL

However, this won't turn on challenges for existing users. To have challenges enabled and email notification turned on for every user, run this query:
UPDATE user SET arcadesettings=15

I still cant access the games, all usergroups have rights as set in the usergroups in admincp, I saw in the install that usergroup ids are set, are the relative to the board ids?

?? Is this another arcade or is it Futureal's? If so then we have two arcade hacks soon i'm afraid.

[John]

?? Is this another arcade or is it Futureal's? If so then we have two arcade hacks soon i'm afraid.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Futureal's "ProArcade".

The v3 Arcade is the vB3 adaptation of my original vB2 Arcade. Futureal is going to release a port of his vB2, but this is completely different.

Presuming you're using RC2, I'd look to this being some sort of installation problem. Check through the code modifications you've made, and make sure you haven't missed something.

[macshrine]

i just cant seem to get the files right, no matter what i do. i done everything in the instructions, but it still doesnt work :( it would be super if someone could attach all the files with the changes already in them. could someone do that?

[MindTrix]

Installed without a glitch nice one. But!!!

I just played the heli copter one. And after about 7 trys, i clicked back to arcade link on the right.

Now on the arcade page it says that i am the champion for it with a score of 0 points. Then when viewing the leader board nothing shows.

[John]

i just cant seem to get the files right, no matter what i do. i done everything in the instructions, but it still doesnt work :( it would be super if someone could attach all the files with the changes already in them. could someone do that?

Unfortunately not, it's against vbulletin.org rules. :(

[MindTrix]

Ok turns out thats more of a bug ;)

Noticed you need to click submit score

[John]

You are using RC2, right?

[John]

Ok turns out thats more of a bug ;)

Noticed you need to click submit score

Phew, don't scare me like that! ;)

Yeah - Chopper Challenge really does throw you right into the gameplay, so I thought a submit score button would be a better idea. It can get annoying having to hit "Back" all the time. :)

[MindTrix]

Sure does!!! I cant get past like 150 points :p Thats about 5 seconds gameplay lol

It's annoying because i dont want to play all the games because i wont stop, so im letting my members get ago first (All 8 of them **sigghhh** sucks openin a new site :) )

[macshrine]

well, im stuck with a little problem now :( i 'tried' to install it as you know, but kept getting that error. so now i uploaded the old versions back up, the ones without the modifications and such. i left all the other arcade files up, to save me time. but now i dont know what to do, if i mod the files again, can i just upload them and it will work? or will still have to redo the install.php. cause i already did the install.php previously.

sorry if thats confusing :)

[John]

If you're using an unhacked RC2 vBulletin installation, the Arcade will work - and if it doesn't it means you've made a mistake somewhere along the lines.

Have another go, follow the instructions to the letter! ;)

[badboy1]

I have no idea what they are talking about all these bugs for.. Lol my forum has had 0 bugs so far :\.... Any ways just want to say gj again and i will try to make some flash games.

[NuclioN]

I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Ok. But how about all the games we have altered for vb proarcade. Are they usable for both? Is this ok with Futureal?

[macshrine]

im using rc2 and the only other mod i got is the Talker mod.

[John]

No, this is a completely different system - it has absolutely nothing to do with the ProArcade or futureal, period.

However, it won't take long to start collecting games to be converted for the v3 Arcade. When these games are converted, I'll post them here. :)

[John]

im using rc2 and the only other mod i got is the Talker mod.

In that case, you must have made an installation error somewhere along the lines. Did the installation script (install_arcade.php) run successfully?

[macshrine]

yes

[CHeeKY]

You are using RC2, right?


yep RC2 here... will pm you link to site...

[John]

Any chance you PM'ing me instructions on how to edit a game to work with this? I got some i want to see if i can get working.

[DuffMan]

Wow, this looks amazing! I'll definitely be installing once RC3 is released.

[deathemperor]

some more games that may need ^ ^
this is a great hack. gonna install it.
5 games arent enough yet, I'll try to find out more for me and others ^ ^.

[MindTrix]

how do you challenge someone :s

[John]

yep RC2 here... will pm you link to site...

CHeeKY, you made a mistake in file modifications.

in global.php, it asked you to find:
echo "End call of global.php: $aftertime\n";
echo "\n<hr />\n\n";
}

Instead, you searched for:
echo "\n<hr />\n\n";
}

The end result is that you've put the additional code in the wrong place, because there were two instances of what you searched for.

Check the installation text and try again. :)

[macshrine]

yay, it worked :) thanks.

[John]

how do you challenge someone :s

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=464346&postcount=78

You'll only see the "Challenge <username in the Arcade" option if that user has enabled challenges...

[John]

yay, it worked :) thanks.

Glar to hear it! :)

It's always good to know that the only dud installations so far have been caused by Dreamweaver, and mistakes. ;)

[MindTrix]

Cheers!

[Dean C]

Trully amazing John :)!

[macshrine]

i want to get rid of the awards appearing under everyones names when they post. I want them displayed in there profile only, not on display like that.

[NuclioN]

To boost the amount of games for this i think you must release a sort of pretext written php with marked spots where certain information is needed. The problem in vbarcade was the highscore variable. Is this a problem with this hack to?

[MindTrix]

Macshrine -- Just undo the template edit for Postbit then.

Nuclion -- I believe he is working on that ;)

[macshrine]

but how do i get it to be in there profile instead?

[CHeeKY]

big big thanks john I will go through again, thank you for taking the time :)

[Oblivion Knight]

It might be useful to create a seperate thread for the flash games that are compatible with your arcade (like ProArcade), otherwise this thread is going to be cluttered with requests and games.. ;)

Once again, congratulations with the release John.

[VampireMan]

Brill hack ... now i wont get so many complaints from the arcade addicts.
Easy to install :)

New game: Simon
with thanks to Paul Neave, for providing the source. :)

Installation
To install Simon, upload the following files to your forum:
simon1.gif -> /images/arcade/simon1.gif
simon2.gif -> /images/arcade/simon2.gif
simon.swf -> /games/simon.swf
simon.game.php -> /admincp/simon.game.php

Point your browser to /admincp/simon.game.php. (E.g. http://www.yourforums.com/forum/admincp/simon.game.php).
Don't forget to delete the script once you're finished!

[John]

madhouse, do you have a "status" field in your user table? If so, what's it for?

[Nmidia]

Is there no way that this will work in RC1? If it will, what do we have to change?

[madhouse]

I think we are using a Status setting for Clan members , were clan leaders can accept new players for their clan when they make a request.

I can setup a temp admin account for you if you wish to view what I am talking about.

[corsacrazy]

glad to see a top hack coming from a fellow british geeza ;)

[KuraFire]

You have to upgrade to RC2. There was a huge security leak in RC1 so you really should upgrade immediately!

[Nmidia]

LOL - just added a post in the lounge about this. What is the best way of upgrading? I assume that when you do you lose everythihg - all code additions to php files and I assume templates are overwritten as well. So, is there a quick way of upgrading that keeps all of the hacks I have applied? If not, I may as well wait for Gold to be released.

[D|ver]

really great work, the challenge system is amazing :D

hmm i really want to install this hack, but is there any way to import the scores of the vb2 version of futureals proarcade hack?

madhouse, I've updated arcade.php to fix your problem - download the zip and overwrite the old arcade.php.

[Deska]

John, I hope you will release update version for vB2 too, :D

[MindTrix]

You dont HAVE to totaly upgrade. It was mainly replacing 2 files to fix the major security issue

Read the vBulletin.com announcements about RC1, RC2 and the security leak/issue. IF you wish to wait with upgrading, go check them out thoroughly to figure out what exactly you need to do to fix the major security leak.

Seriously impressive hack. :D I do have a question though, I played the snake game to test things out and it seems that it won't submit the sores. It just gets stuck and doesn't redirect to the high scores page. Then it shows that I have a high score of 0, but doesn't list any entries in the highscores page. I thought maybe I missed a step so I restored from a back up I'd made before installing and I still get the same thing.

Any idea what might be causing this? I do have several hacks installed, so it's not on a clean vb3. Thanks for your help!

[Zelda-King]

I had a browse. It's very impressive. That challenge mode is a winning gimmick.

COOL HACK...but ! In POSTBIT...it didn't show anything. About CHAMPION & the challange. Here is my postbit. And ofcourse...i am the champ of tetris, snake, etc.

Also, the CHALLANGE is not working. And i have try on a user ho have challange enabled !

All this things in POSTBIT only.

Anyway...the hacks works greate ! I have RC2 and i got no mysql errors.

[John]

Hi PET,

You're using postbit_legacy, right? In which case, you need to make the changes to that template, rather than postbit.

In what way are challenges not working?

[Davey-UK]

Curveball and Breakout are being requested on my forum........

Any chance of finding the authors of these games.?

[PET]

Hi PET,

In what way are challenges not working?

When you click on the USER nickname on POST BID...is that MENU ho is showing...well...the CHALLANGE is not apearing there. But...how you sayd...i must modify in LEGACY :)

[Link14716]

You converted your arcade and improved it alot, John? Cool. I'll use this one instead of waiting for futureal's then. Nice job, and thanks. :)

[PET]

Now it works...but i need to...put them...in other place. I'm champion on all the games so my postbit is abit messy :)

yes hacked and yes RC2

yabba, I've made one last update and tested it - try the new arcade.php (also replace the arcadeadmin.php file in the admincp with the new one).

It should work fine now. :)

btw. i have some users that told me that they only gets a blank white screen. They are in usergroups where other users without problems are.

For me all works perfect. But some less members have this problem.

Ive seen this problem allready earlier. In some of my scripts. Some users have no problem (with all recent browsers: konqueror, opera, mozilla, mozilla-firebird, netscape, konqueror), and some gets only a white blank page.

This problem was an exit at a not so good point. I dont know why.. php is server sided. But this problem was fixed if i moved the exit.

This is because you need to add the arcade templates to each style on your forum.

[NuclioN]

We're hunting it down!

I hope you will find it. Please remember that the best games found do NOT have a fla file but still they can be modified for the arcade. If you want to harvest fla's first then you have to wait untill you share the method of writing the scorevariable. Untill this time i will sit down and wait.

Ok, I've updated the zip file (again).

Now there's an extras folder where I'll put additional instruction files.
At the moment it contains instructions on how to add the "Arcade Awards" section to member profiles. (Just for you, shad-gt ;))

[corsacrazy]

hows about having more options in the arcade settings? because at the moment there are just two settings:( i can think of one

Recive pop up when you are being challenged YES NO


then you can include pending challenges within the actuall challenge page as well is it being displayed on arcade.php

[John]

Challenge popups are based on PM popups. If a user has PM popups disabled, challenge popups will also be disabled.

Yeah, a lot more stuff will be added. I could go on adding more features forever... but you've got to release it at some point! ;)

[CarolinaKid]

lol seem i have a problem after installing hack games work great but if i click on a thread i get a white page. It has nothing wrote on it any idea's. I have tried to reload my showthread.php witch did not help.

How can i fix the problems from POSTBIT ? If i (or any user) is a champion to a game...the CHAMPION apears in postbit...but if i click on the image i got that i don't have permision. Also...this is the link that it sends be to :

BLABLA/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=

It seems GAMEID is not complete. If i am a champ on tetris ho let's say its game ID 1...it shall write arcade.php?do=play&gameid=1 wright ? How do i fix this ?

A lot of people have been getting this error.
I presume you're all using the Dreamweaver text editor?

The solution is, don't! ;)

Dreamweaver appears to automatically edit (and screw up) this line in functions.php (1755):
$debughtml .= " (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') === false, '?', '&amp;') . "tempusage=1\">Template Usage</a>) (<a href=\"" .

Use a different text editor to make the change to functions.php, and you won't have this problem. :)
Thank you SO much... worked like a charm... how come dreamweaver does this??? Can you recommend another text editor, something with a good "FIND" ?

Notepad has an extremely great FINDing tool. Use notepad or wordpad. But wordpad sometimes dont find stuff as notepad does.

You either ran some queries wrong or did some phrases wrong. Make sure you ran the installer also. And are you sure its VB RC2? or any VB RC

Congratulations... Well done

Ok i found out how to challenge. You can only challenge people who have used the arcade tho. Also the Champion isnt appearing in postbit but im guessing thats my fault

[jluerken]

very very very nice hack but one question.

is it possible to exchange all hardcoded phrases with variables that I can translate this hack to german?

[dede1]

You haven't added the phrases.

It'll be fully phrased once Kura's HTL is released.

On one of the earlier pages in this thread I've posted two queries to turn challenges on by default.
