vbProarcade requirements to play games addon
 

Lately I was getting a lot of 0 post members, all because they just signed up to play in the arcade. And more bandwidth was being used because of this. So I decided to put in post count and time registered requirements and a points per play cost. First attachment is the instruction for the first 2 requirements. Second one is for those that also have the store hack installed.

This hack should work fine but I put it in the beta hacks forum until vbProarcade is no longer a beta hack.

you do know theirs a store hack add on for the arcade already right?

Whoops thats a shame. Suggestion : How about a hack then that doesnt require the store? But you can set how many posts etc a user has to have before they can play the arcade? Sorry for posting this here but i thought i might aswell seeing as this is an add on and sabret00the has pointed out its made already ;) And i babble on and on and on...........

Erm this doesn't require the store. The first instructions is for adding a postcount and time registered requirement. The 2nd one is optional if you have the store. And as for that one, you probably mean the arcade pass hack but it's not working properly. The hack creator posted this in that thread: "This hack is very old, bug-ridden, and worthless. I no longer have vB2 installed to update this addon, however, I will rewrite it when the arcade is re-written for vB3."

uhm, for some reason. the store addon isnt working, its supposed to cost 500 per game right? if i set it up for 500... but it isnt deducting the points.. not sure why..

Definitely someone I want on my forums. Waiting for a few more replys before installing.

Why not just add the arcade pass hack?

fyi, i've never had a problem with it :confused: it's a great hack

Forgot 1 step in the 2nd attachment:

2.3. Find:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
// evaluate the code to call the game
$gcode = addslashes($gameinfo[gamecode]);
eval("\$gamecode = \"$gcode\";");
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. Add below that:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET storep=storep-$arcadeinfo[pointsneeded] WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
-----------------------------------------------------------------

nicely done Dark Jim! No bugs at least from what i can see. A+
