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.

You may want to go through your file edits again, and make sure you added the New Phrases as well.

I have gone through them several times, and I have added all of the "new phrases".

i seem to have a problem with the /includes/functions.php file. whenever i edit it with the following code:

Code:

======================
includes/functions.php
======================

Find:

// get CSS width for outerdivwidth from outertablewidth


Above this, add:
	// declares the arcade image directory
	$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";

it always ends up with this error:

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /usr/local/www/elitegaming/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1887

any ideas?

I have installed this hack on a clients site. It worked just fine, UNTIL I started to add more games. Get this, Now only some of the games work, others just show a blank square.
He's running (vBulletin 3.0.1) I would like to update him, but the previous Webmaster hacked his poor site to death. I've managed to clean allot of it up, but I really don't want to update him and have to reinstall all those hacks.
Any help would be appreciated

EDIT 10-20-04:

All the games work now, what I did was make a GAMES foldes in the /FORUMS area, now all 77 games work just fine.

Just like to add... Thanks again John, Mods like this make me look great

make sure you have the ; at the end of the line or the line before it.

I am having a problem when trying to install the script to a different style. I get this message:

Heres exactly what I see, and as far as I know, Ive followed the instructions on how to install the arcade on a different style.

First I modified the install_arcade.php file by doing this: (The ID of the new style is 10)

// ################################################## ###########################
// step 1
if ($_POST['do'] == "stepone")
{

$styleid=10;
$template = array();

So then I uploaded it to my admincp directory and ran the script...

And then it gives me the error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
CREATE TABLE gamechallenges (
challengeid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
type tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengerid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengedid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
game varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
status tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
datestamp int(13) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengersession int(20) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
challengedsession int(20) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (challengeid)
) TYPE=MyISAM

mysql error: Table 'gamechallenges' already exists

mysql error number: 1050

Could someone help me ASAP, or tell me where to go for support? Thanks.

All of a sudden yesterday, I started getting this email every hour for a different user:
