This is an awesome hack, is it confirmed to work on 2.2.8 flawlessly in its current state?

EDIT: Also, when are the next updates going to be released? I may wait out for a day or two if another release is just down the road...

Beta 2 looks good futureal. I can't wait to get my hands on it! ;)

Works fine on the 3 2.2.8 forums I've got it running on :D

Beta 2 is looking KILLER and I cannot wait to get my hands on it:)

BTW, can you add a game or two in there? Here are two you can do right off the bat:

Frogger. The zip has the FLA and SWF files for easy modification, and it's free and clear - no license restrictions or anything (it's actually called "Froggy" but it's so close to the original Frogger as not to matter:) ).

download zip here

Moon Lander. Same as above, includes FLA and SWF file, no restrictions. Free for the world and more important, free to add to this hack.

Download zip here


Also, I would KILL/pay even for one or all of the following:

Joust
Missle Command
Galaga

Anyone who can come up with one or all of those to add to this excellent hack is a hero in my book.

Still no release date set in stone. I am really trying to fit in as much work on the hack as I can but other obligations have been nailing me. I will keep everybody posted.

As for more games, yes, there will be more games, I promise. Along with Beta 2 I will likely release the current .FLAs of the games so others can tinker with them (I think). We should be able to keep an "open development" environment for vbProArcade-compatible games.

I do still have a whole list of features I'd like to get into Beta 2. And yes, Beta 1 should work fine with any 2.2.x copy of vBulletin.

An obvious question but it has to be asked....

My users love Tetris which I currently have working on our board, and they are really hassling me to add more games via your Beta 1 hack.... BUT..

HOW easy is it going to be to update to beta 2 when it is released?

Am I better waiting for v2, or go ahead now with the beta 1 ?

Yeah, I am in the same spot as BrainZ, I'd like to know how easy it is to upgrade...

Same here. I cannot wait for the upgrade this is an amazing hack. I love this feature.

HI all
Love the look of the hack!!
Just a couple of questions, I am quite new to PHP and MySQL and although I have a good understanding of html I am a bit dubious of installing.
I have been reading some of the 36 pages in this post and it seems a lot of you have changed you php code and had slight probs with the sql as well.

Anyway what I am trying to say is I would love to give this a go but don’t want to damage my forum. I have read through the install notes and understand all the CHMOD and php stuff but am not sure about the sql side of things.
Can anyone offer me any advice at all, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks again.

XrayHead - The problem with this hack is that it's still only BETA, and has been for quite some time. This means that while it may work perfectly well on your system, it might not at all.

MySQL is a simple enough thing to use - my recomendation is that you do a back-up of your database before you start installing this hack (something that is recomended before any new hack) and then run the queries in phpMyAdmin (if you don't have this, ask your host).

After that, do the rest that is needed and test it out.

Good luck.
