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

order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has

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.

hmmm...

I Cannot seem to update the settings in Arcade General Settings...everything is currently at no, and when i choose yes for like "Is the Arcade Active? " then click update, it still says no x.X

[RichieBoy67]

I know this has probably been covered but I cannot find it.

Right now my arcade has 122 games all on one page. How can I get them listed maybe 15 games per page???

Thanks,

Rich

My users are complaining that their scores arent' getting posted. I tried to submit the scores and got this mysql error,

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE user) SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+262.5 WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+262.5 WHERE userid='1'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

Everything was working fine for the past few months.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction to figure this out?

Hi,

I deleted my styles by mistake, when I try reinstall Arcade I get the error message below.

My question is, would it be possible re-install Arcade using the existing database files relating to this hack?

I've got a weird problem, I can post comments about a score but my users cant, even though the option for them to be able to is set to on in the usergroup settings. I really have no idea why and I dont want to mess with your files to find out why, any assistance you can give would be very much appreciated.
