these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.

History & Hack Information
- So, what is the v3 Arcade?
The v3 Arcade is exactly what the name implies - an online games arcade that offers seamless integration with your vBulletin forum.

The v3 Arcade is the first of the new generation of vBulletin additions. Back from its roots, the v3 Arcade is the vBulletin 3 edition of my original Arcade written in late 2002 (not to be confused with futureal's 'ProArcade', which was written during the Arcade's beta phase).

v3 Arcade Features Include:
? Integrated Flash gaming for vBulletin 3
? Advanced leader board system
? FULL Mozilla/Netscape Compatibility
? Moderation abilities for Mods/Super Mods/Admins
? PM & Email notification for events
? Advanced statistics for all users
? A higher level of security
? "Arcade Challenges", 1-on-1 contests between users
? Arcade awards system
? Automated and manual score pruning tools

This installation comes loaded with the following games:
? Tetris
? Snake
? Asteroids
? Chopper Challenge
? Space Invaders

If you have the source (.FLA) for a game that you want to use in the v3 Arcade, you can send the required files to john@v3arcade.com for conversion. (Providing permission has been given by the original author.) Within a reasonable delay, I'll post the converted game and installation script on vBulletin.org.


Testing
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.3, across multiple unhacked installations.


Thanks to...
? Kura: For helping out with vB3 difficulties!
? Erwin: Whose vB2 Flash Player inspired the original hacks
? Paul Neave: For providing the source for 4 of the standard v3 Arcade games


IMPORTANT NOTES
? If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. There are going to be some updates for this which you're really not going to want to miss!
? Each Arcade page has an Eovie Interactive and Flash Player link at the bottom. This is optional, but greatly appreciated.
? You may have noticed that this release of the v3 Arcade is not fully phrased. To phrase the arcade would require well over a hundred phrases to be added, making for a lengthy installation process! Futures version of the v3 Arcade will be phrased, with a more automated installation.
? And don't forget - BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!


Regarding the "ProArcade"
There has been a lot of debate on vb.org recently about the ownership of hack "concepts". My original Arcade hack (on which the v3 Arcade is based), was a progression of the my vBTetris Leaderboard hack - both of which came about before the ProArcade. I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Fixes
If you're installing the Arcade from scratch, there are no fixes or updates to be applied. Simply follow the instructions in Installation.txt.
If you've already installed the Arcade, make the changes in Updates.txt.

I'm going to assume that causeyjr_ is your table prefix. Why is it putitng a period between the table prefix and the table name? I'd assume youd cahnged something or didn't do something right somewhere.

causeyjr_ is my table prefix but got a little expeirmental
on line 18 added a ../includes/init.php in global.php it locked my out of the control panel for the admin but got the board back up ...

Upgraded to 3.01 and works fine going to try from scratch again very slowly this will be the third time! :nervous:

*install*

[Oldfart]

I got this error message on trying to run the installer:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/forum/includes/init.php on line 506

I checked the line 506 in int.php and this is it:

'stylecache',
'arcadesettings'
), $specialtemplates);

Any suggestions?

  	<if condition="$post['arcadesettings'] & 4 AND $post[userid]!=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $bbuserinfo[userid]!=0">
  		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newchallenge&userid=$post[userid]" target="_self">Challenge $post[username] in the Arcade</a></td></tr>
  	</if>

• Allow challenges is set to 'YES' on the two users I'm testing it with

However it still doesn't appear. The champion awards is fine.

Any ideas?

File: /home/gpf/public_html/forums/global.php
Line: 638

I am doing all the file modifications first and then re uploading them into their respective directories again. The the install file tells me to do the template modifications and when i go to login to the admin CP i get that error. Has anyone experienced this, or can someone tell me what I am doing wrong??

Thanks

Will this hack work with other hacks installed? That is the only thing that I can think of that is causing me problems. Currently I have the following installed

Ushop & ucash
Timeslip database
welcome panel v1
Prevent Doubleposting

Is there a different way to be installing this than what i stated above?

Thanks again
Charlie

Boofo - I don't suppose you have any ideas about the problem I'm having in post 2228 above?

You know it only shows in the drop down menu for the username, right?
