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 don't really give a sophisticated and desirable color to your aura by knocking somebody trying to protect an author's interest. Whether his pc is 100% clean or not is not the issue - he's putting a foot down on the clean side of the line and everybody should respect that.

Making a statement like you just did makes you look like a thief. Are you a thief?

I have nothing in my P.C. that I had not purchase. I can get support from Microsoft for my OS and Virus software come with ISP package. So what else I have is trail software, which is limited to 30/90 days. Unlike you that seems to admit to having pirate warez.

Read the post if you have a problem with thief pm me. Lame

That easy to know, only neave.com games in v3 arcade games that come with the hack are the only one's that are okay by the author. All the rest are suspect like 'YetiGames' & 'mini clips' those are stolen flash from the site.

Like I said pm me if you have problems with thief!


If you want free games then either pm me or do a simple search or go to my site?

What about that hack and vBulletin 3.5.0?

[LEAD_WEIGHT]

Both of them have games that should not be on your board. They do not respond in that forum.

It's theft, not thief. If you going to act all high and mighty then at least try and get it right.

Do not respond here if you can not read! reply to pm if you have problems.
Seems you should stay away from criticizing typo's and stop defending stolen games. :speechless:

Actually I can read fine thanks. In fact, I've read quite a few of your posts in this thread (and others) and can't remember finding anything useful or constructive in any of them. It does also seem that you have some difficulty reading my posts, since my previous post mentions absolutely nothing about "defending stolen games". Still - feel free to invent things as it suits you - I hear the inland revenue are quite good at this. FYI - I probably won't waste my time reading your reply, as again, it's unlikely to contain anything useful to me (or anyone else I imagine). Goodnight.
