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 am missing all those Hacks and Additions for v3arcade - John should backup them here or reopen his forum "readonly" with only those Hacks left within ...

[Slapp3r]

John sorry to hear u have closed ur site m8 hope u get up and running soon

[Oblivion Knight]

Magical1, I'd love to know what work you've actually done to make you think that you can actually sell it on as an "improved" version of v3arcade.. From the sound of it, you've basically installed addons from other sources, slapped it all together for a new installation and are trying to pass it off as your own work.

No, that is only an issue with ibProArcade (I think).

I miss vb3arcade forum I was just getting deep into it. Fortunately I backed up the most popular hacks and the 700 game package. I hope you return soon John

Hey everyone!

Well I am quite gutted. I just bought a VBulletin licence yesterday - With one of the main intentions to have the VB3Arcade as a major feature on the site! As you can imagine, it's pretty disappointing to see that the game producers have decided to close the site, along with the game add-on packs. :disappointed:

Just wondering if anyone has additional game add-ons somewhere on their site, or able to give me access to them. (Note not the actual game installation package, as I know we want to keep that as requring a licence to download).

If anyone could help that would be much appreciated! :nervous:

Cheers!
