1.0.1 - Bug fix update
? This release addressed a couple of small bugs. Information on fixing
these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

? This release makes all games on the Arcade main page appear in the
order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)
? It includes a
page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)

1.0.3 - Bug fixes

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.

It looks like there are un-needed \'s in your code.

For example:

<table cellpadding=\"860\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" class=\"tborder\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"> 
  <tr> 
    <td> <table cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"1\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"> 
        <tr align=\"center\">
          <td class=\"thead\" width=\"20%\">
<span class=\"smallfont\"><b>Logged in</b> as</span></td> 
          <td class=\"thead\" width=\"40%\"><span class=\"smallfont\"><b>Welcome</b> to the <b>Arcade</b>!</span></td> 
          <td class=\"thead\" width=\"40%\"><span class=\"smallfont\">Arcade <b>News & Events</b></span></td> 
        </tr> 
        <tr align=\"center\"> 
          <td class=\"alt1\" width=\"20%\" valign=\"middle\">

All of the \'s before the " tag shouldn't be there.

Cheers,

Anyone can do it by flash capture unless u have it open in window without tool bar showing.

I have looked at the code but I am wary of messing about with it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Shill - go to Arcade.php - roughly around line 1376 (use Textpad ... www.textpad.com ) and find this

$awardlist .= "<img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_arcade]/".$award['miniimage']."\" border=0 align=\"absmiddle\"> ";

replace it with this

$awardlist .= "<a href=\"arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$award['gameid']."\"><img src=\"$stylevar[imgdir_arcade]/".$award['miniimage']."\" border=0 align=\"absmiddle\"></a> ";

I think that should do as you want ... any problems , please let me know

[Riotblade]

Hey I've already searched this thread for "challenge bugs" but is anyone else able to refresh their score for challenge if you were the first one playing? It goes to the outcome score and if I refresh, it'll add more to my score or screw around with both scores.

Thanks

I've added this mod, but when I go to the arcade link on the navbar, it shows me an empty arcade. (see picture.) I rechecked all the files mods, phrase additions, template changes, etc and everything looks good. All the files were uploaded to the server to the correct folders. I can't figure it out. Please help.

one of the styles i D/l'd has this code under the nav bar coding

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(gray scale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>
