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

order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)

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.)

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.

v3arcade will currently not run on v3.5. I believe you have ibProArcade installed.

I checked and rechecked all the mods to files and no errors.

One of the mods or coders give me some advise here please!!

[Kalipo]

im getting this error on all pages when hack is complete..

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 2998

this is the code, as i say it only does it when the arcade is installed..

$returndate = $vbphrase['1_minute_ago'];
}
else
{
$returndate = construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_minutes_ago'], intval($timediff / 60));
}
}
else if ($timediff < 7200)

I modified every file except functions.php because I got an error with it when putting in one line of code at Line 3679:
$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";

The error said:
PHP Parse error: parse error in d:\home\hnt22b162\forums\includes\functions.php on line 2018

Line 2018 is:
$debughtml .= " (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') '?')'?')'?')'?')'?')=== false, '?', '?','?','?','?','?','&amp;') . "tempusage=1\">Template Usage</a>) (<a href=\"" . htmlspecialchars_uni(SCRIPTPATH) . iif(strpos(SCRIPTPATH, '?') '?')'?')'?')'?')'?')=== false, '?', '?','?','?','?','?','&amp;') . "explain=1\">Explain</a>)<br />\n";

(Without changing functions.php) I was able to modify every file, add every template, install the arcade, modify the navbar, etc. but when I uploaded the modified functions.php, nothing would work at all and I'd get the same error, no matter what page I tried to open.

The only problem I have is the images on the Arcade do not show up because it doesn't know where the arcade images directory is.

Any suggestions?

I have same exact experience. Not sure what I am missing, but something isn't correct.

[HormZ]

When in Arcade and I click on Your Settings, this error message appears:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/rbruce/public_html/forumdb/profile.php on line 2665

How do I fix it?

:surprised:

One of my buddies noticed that all the images were looking for themselves in the root directory. I posted my images there and everything works fine now.

Right-Click on your images and look at the properties and see if yours is doing the same thing.
