This hack is just what I was looking for. I installed it and everything works except for one little thing. And that is that users are gaining the amount of points the have to pay instead of losing them. What did I do wrong. I followed every step exactly.

How many points do you charge?

100 (I changed it to -100 just to see what it would do and it gave the user 5 points for playing a game, very strange)

It gives the user money from the jackpot using a formula (this is after the game ends).

jackpot/position

So, when the user starts the game, they loose 100 points and that is added to the jackpot. So, if the jackpot is 500, for instance, and the got 2nd place, then they would get half of the jackpot, in this case it'd be 250 points. So they would end up with 150 more points than they had when they started the game.

I do have one small problem with this hack.
After installing it, I lose user's usernames on every thread?
Um...here's a screenshot of Before and After....

And here's after....

That is not related to my hack. My hack does not touch anything that deals with usenames. It is possible that the store hack part messed up. Make sure all store hack templates and all edits have been made correctly to functions.php (for the store). :)

Is there a way to make the jackpot value increase when a person with a pass plays a game? If everyone has a pass then they'll be no jackpot.

Sorry Link, but this addon do not work for me. Please have a look at my Proarcade.
If a user is loggedin, unregistered or without a pass...he gets the Arcade-Playon template,...whats the error with it?
If i go to my Database and look at the usertable, all looks ok. I am the only user with a pass and this is written in my field arcadepass-field: 1037613669....
Please help.... :(

^bumb^

When someone with a pass plays a game, the jackpot is increased *after* the game is over. This is to stop people from hitting the link into the game over and over and over...
