Yup, that worked.

btw, I was getting the red X's w/ the arcade graphics. But I can upload any graphic via admin cp for avatars...and users change their avatars to custom avatars freely on the site all the time.

Man, I dunno why it doesn't work for you. The code I'm using is the same that vBulletin uses. If you're willing to provide me with a shell account and admin access briefly I can take a look at it and see what I can do, otherwise I'm stumped. I don't understand why it gives no errors, but still fails. :(

check your pm's.

BUG FIX: I have fixed the top score board problem and along the way addressed some performance issues/ugly code. However, the basic structure of the hack was changed, so an update will not come until Beta 2.

There are now 4 tables:

arcadeconfig
arcadegames
arcadescores
arcadetopscores

Keeping track of topscores in a separate table allows for the Top Score Board (and to some degree, the upcoming stats page) to operate MUCH more efficiently -- and correctly.

I have a simple conversion script that will convert your current arcade table to the scores/topscores format when Beta 2 is released, so there's no need to worry about that.

I will work more on safe mode tomorrow. If anybody else is running in safe mode and can give me some feedback, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am having the same problem as apok2002 with the red X's in lieu of the images showing up. Not running in safe mode, and no problems uploading other images from the control panel. I've tried the different versions of the proarcadeadmin.php file as well.

It's running on a test board, and I haven't had a lot of time to do much more than play a couple of games, but this seems to be the only problem that has yet to be addressed.

Once again, thanks for a great hack!

how do i add these games :D

You can add the games but the proarcade system isn't compatible with the Scoresytem from the Games
A Flash Profi must convert these files to work with the proarcade-system.

Wait for the next Release.
My list should show merely some examples of games these use a Scoresystem.

ok d00d can i add something to the flash file to make it work with Score System :D

another feature that you might want to look at while finishing it up and I know alot of people would like to see in the feature would be intgrating it with the lesane's store hack :)

I am not doing ANY further work on this hack until I can figure out what is going on with the safe mode. There is no point in keeping this hack in a released state if it is not going to work on 50% of the forums out there.

Unfortunately, I don't have a safe mode server to test it on so unless I get some help here, the hack is dead in the water. A couple people offered to let me test things on their servers, but one had a bad server config and the other gave me admin access only to take it away the next day before I could even try anything.

Additionally, I have posted messages both in the Hacking Discussion forums here (0 responses) and over on vb.com (0 responses). I am rather fed up with the whole thing and am just about ready to pack it in for good. I don't like the idea of having this thing out there in a potentially unworking state.

So, once again, if anybody who knows PHP well can give me some direction here as to what I'm doing wrong, it would be most helpful. OR if you have a forum up and running in safe mode that I can test some ideas on, that would be great too.

Thanks.
