Is there a newer thread out of beta for this hack that I'm not finding in my search?
I'm unable to fix the below issues with this hack ... or know if they have been reported elsewhere or addressed yet.
If anyone could direct me, I'd be obliged

Tip:

To get it to show on left hand panel in admincp, edit admincp/index.php

Find:
Add Below:

After doing this, upload admincp/index.php

It should now be accesible from left hand menu under Arcade.

'Course, you could create a separate group for it, too...

I'm not sure where to post this at but since it has to do with getting around having a pass or using points and wouldn't matter as much if you didn't use this hack I chose here. There is an exploit that will allow anyone who has the same game on their home pc to play without using a pass at all as if they are doing it from your website. This is how the person done it on my site and used it. It happened to be a friend so he warned me about it and told me how he done it. The info he sent me word for word:

You create an html file on your computer and embed the flash game like the arcade.php file does. You can either download the game and run it from your computer or run it from the web, either way. The key is to set this html tag to point to the same directory that the arcade.php file is in, which should be the forum root. Below is an example of the tag that was used on my site minus my real address.

<base href="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/">

He did use it a couple times but I caught on right away since I just payed for vbulletin a couple weeks ago and less then 24 hours ago added the store and arcade pass. There was no way he should have been able to have what he has so I asked him what he was doing and he told me. Is there a way to fix this or is it only happening on my site?

Error

SQL-query :

INSERT INTO `phrase` ( `phraseid` , `languageid` , `varname` , `text` , `phrasetypeid` )
VALUES ( 6472, 0, 'settinggroup_arcadepass', 'Arcade Pass Hack v3 Settings', 5000 )

MySQL said:

Duplicate entry '6472' for key 1

Can someone please address this? 2 people have posted multiple times about it, and I'm getting the same error. Is 6472 taken up by another hack?

Here's one for you, I have the pass installed and the UT shop and store hack but cannot get the pass to admit it needs to take points! Any ideas?

Anyone?

I will wait until this is working with no errors to install.. :(

I have no errors, just can't turn the dang thing on!?

There's a very easy fix to get this all working.

Do everything via the TXT install, rather then the HTL install. Run db_queries and setting in MySQL first. Then, go through file_edits and template_edits. Finally, add the phrases via Download/Upload in the ACP. Point to arcadepass_phrases in the HTL folder. Do the same for the new templates, pointing to arcadepass_templates. This will work, and it works well.

As an added feature for the full release, how bout a field in the ACP to change the cost of the pass?

After trying to install this hack I received this error in Admincp for Import/Export

Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Target 3.0.3:
