It says "video arcade" right under the banner

no one is reporting any problems - just vbb is sending me the sql error messages

To tell you the truth, I dunno what the problem is. *Nudges futureal*

Never mind

This error is unrelated to my hack. You have apparently inadvertently installed some sort of vBulletin 2.2.7 code into your vBulletin 2.2.6 -- the althash field is something that was introduced in 2.2.7.

This is a known bug having to do with the ' character in a user's name. It has been FIXED for Beta 2. For Beta 1, find this line in proarcade.php:

And change it to this:

That should fix the error.

ok so for games to keep score we need the fla source right?
otherwise we can add but it wont keep score?

Well futureal, here is a zip with 18 games in it :) fla source...some better then others, let me know what you think...

Games Zip

the zip has some problems..

you might have tryed to download before i finished the upload i didnt realize it would be so big :)

the file size is 13.8 megs

if you still have problems let me know...

When will the final version be released?

when it's done - I think :D

I updated from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7 before I installed your arcade hack.

Was that a bad thing?

No, it shouldn't be. Everything works fine in 2.2.7 as far as I know. Could you tell me where that althash error is being generated?

I don't directly address the sessionhash stuff at all in vbProArcade, other than passing it from page to page, so there shouldn't ever be a time where I am pulling it from the DB.

Since you're getting an "unknown column althash" error, it almost seems like one of the ALTER queries in the 2.2.7 upgrade did not work. Did you run the upgrade script and all that?

There is no real timeframe yet. I am adding new stuff every couple of days right now, and then there will be a Beta 2, which will turn into a Release Candidate and then into a Final Release.

My biggest goal is to finalize the SQL table structure in Beta 2 so that future installs will be easy to upgrade. I already have a SQL conversion script for Beta 1 -> Beta 2.

very nice!! this is an awsome hack :)
were you able to d/l the game zip i attached without any problems?

You didn't run upgrade20.php which *was* a bad thing. ;)

I did run update20 before installing the hack.

Anyway for some strang reason im not gettin any more errors. There are a few hundred people on the arcade with no problems.

Very odd

Anyway thanks for the help - cant wait to see more of this hack

Yup, I got it. I will check it out as soon as I finish a few more things on the arcade.

If anybody has seen the more recent pages on Shadows, you will see some of the new features that I've moved over from my test site. :)

cool deal, i'll keep an eye out for any more cool games i can get my hands on :)

looking foward to beta 2 :)

has anyone gotten any new games modded for use with this arcade....

if not does anyone know how to go about this. If you do let me know. I will do what I can to get some more games out for use. thanks again.

later

well i just gave futureal 18 game sources, i'm sure if you find any good ones he would do his best :)

Wow, excellent, what ones were included?

Craig

Guys, read a few pages back where he talks about putting more game integrations on hold as he wants to concentrate on other areas of the hack first.

Futureal, another request/question though...

How about having the option to reset the scores via the admin cp? This way we can have a bit more control over it. As it is now, we must go into mysql to clean up.

Yup, that is one of the planned additions. :)

very cool! i already have tournament for prizes lined up :)

How stable is this hack at the moment?
I'm thinking of installing, but am not sure whether to do it now.. or wait for the final release.

It is perfectly stable right now -- I am not aware of any bugs that have not been solved.

The next Beta will basically be expanding it with a lot of new features. I still have no release date in mind as I'm only about 50% done with what I want to do with it.

Hehe... I do too actually. :) I promote club events and we're doing one October 5th where we're setting up a video game tournament and having projectors + 4 huge screens for the games to be played on. I'm giving away free tickets to the top scorers for each game, so it worked out rather nicely that this was released when it was. :)

I installed everything manually like three times. Everything works except when I go to the arcade and I click one of the games it shoes the box but it sits there and loads nothing. However it will show the outline of the game just nothing inside the box. I uploaded the games folder in both the public_html and forums folder. I'm lost on what to do.

nevermind I got it to work ^_^ amazing hack btw

yup futureal deserves mad credit for this one :)

BloodThirsty229 > don't forget to activate the game via the admin cp.... lol

so futureal, thanx for ur hack.. great one... thanx to make my members happy...

waiting for the next release, and hope to have the possibility to upgrade this one to the next release...

i just traduce it in french and everything is ok...

regards

Yup, I'm forseeing a popularity that rival's Lesane's Store Hack. ;)

Go Futureal!

(btw...don't let him play on your arcade though....he'll put an impossible Pacman score on it that just can't be beat...which is why the real reason I want the admin cp ability to reset the scores.) :)

hehe..true his record still stands in my forum...lol

great
finally it works for php safe mode
GReat JOB:D

Yea I finally got the top spot back at my own site, 85K or so. :)

This is an awesome hack.... can't wait for the full version :D

I'll challenge anyone in Tetris. I've got 577,000 on my board. :D

Lol you think that's much, on my forums someone got 1.5 million. :D

Yah... I thought I was doing good since the next highest score was about 166,000... Then of course someone else comes on there and scores 871,000. Guess I've got my work cut out for me. :)

I think the top score on mine is 1.67 million by someone.

The problem is that after the game hits 1000 lines on level 10, it resets. I've had a few unhappy users from that.

Once the hack itself is done and released, then we'll start worrying about getting all the games in order.

Does anyone know how secure the script is and how hard it would be to edit the high scores? As I said above, I'm using this to make a little contest on my site and giving away free tickets to an event we're doing (worth $25 each) to whoever has the highest score in each game. One member has the highest score on each game and there's a couple of things that look a little suspicious... Ex - making a high score in one game, then another 4 minutes later... He beat my original Tetris high score of 127,000 by a few thousand, then when I managed to get 577,000 he came back and beat it by almost 300,000 4 hours later. He also doesn't appear to have played the games much, so that's why I'm a little suspicious. Is there a way I could maybe check my log files or something and see if someone other than myself has been in the server? Also, one of my users pointed this out on the board... "there's a problem inherant with having the game and the score-reporting client-side". Anyways, if anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated.
