Arcade Pass Hack v3!

11/09/04 - Installer upgraded, nothing more.

11/05/04 8:28 PM EST: I botched the release because the important files "mysteriously" disappeared. I have updated the attachment.

11/04/04 9:00 PM EST: Changed to the Hack Installer System for installs. Just upload all the files in the upload folder and run forum/install/hack_install.php, chose Arcade Pass v3 and follow with the instructions. Should make a great replacement for the defunct HTL and the crappy TXT installer.

This is the Arcade Pass Hack v3. While it takes the name and feature set from it's predecessor, the Arcade Pass Hack 2.0 for vB2, the code has been improved, dependancies for the store removed, and the code completely re-written on vB3. The same code was then back-ported to vB2. Right now, the Arcade Pass Hack v3 supports both vB2 and vB3, and vbProArcade Beta 2 (for vB2) and the Arcade v3 (for vB3). When new versions of the arcades are released that have significantly changed code, another version of the Arcade Pass Hack v3 will be written for it.

The vB2 version contains a txt-based install as well as a vbHacker install, and the vB3 version uses the included Hack Installer System. Chose the appropriate vB version, then the appropriate arcade, and then chose the appropriate install and go from there. The arcadepass.php in the vB2 and vB3 folders must be uploaded to the root forums directory.

--------------------------------------

What does this hack actually do, you ask? It allows you, as an administrator, to force people to either buy an arcade pass for a set amount of points (point system not included - you'll have to install one from another hack and then configure this hack to use it) or make them pay a set amount per game (setable per game), or make them pay only if they do not have an arcade pass.

This hack also features a jackpot. First, a default jackpot (amount configurable) is set up, and after each game played, the cost of the game plus another amount (configurable per game) is added to the jackpot. If the user ends up with a high enough ranking (minimum ranking configurable), then they'll get a piece of the jackpot - if they are in 3rd place they'd get 1/3 of the jackpot, if they were in 50h, they'd get 1/50th of the jackpot, etc. Once someone takes 1st place, they default jackpot is entered back in and the lucky winner gets ALL of the jackpot.

This hack currently supports the following arcade/versions:

vB2:
vbProArcade Beta 2

vB3:
v3 Arcade (1.0)

If it helps, I never got pay-for-play to work, ever. But everything else worked fine. Dunno if that was the problem you had...

I recently changed the price for the arcade pass and now users that had already bought passes show that their passes are expired (which they should), but it still letting them playing the game...Help?

Sorry if this was already covered, but I scanned thru the 13 pages of posts and didn't see anything...

I have the ushop hack installed, and my arcade.php was modded for a playing card layout, rather than the standard column layout of all of the games.

Will the auto installer screw things up here? (I'm backing up the entire site as I type this before I try).

Also, I'm not sure if I'll use the arcade pass part (I may activate it to menbers who help me with my site) but I do want something like 10 points per game to be deducted from the point system I have installed. The problem is I have close to 550 games on my site! Will I have to set up each game and jackpot?

i had to set mine up for every game

I wonder if theres way so that games have default values so you don't have to edit each game after installing it

Hi, I have a question, or help if anyone can provide.

I have implamented the arcade pass and credit / points usage, how can i make the challenge part take points from the person challenging as it's currently free no matter if you have points or not.

If anyone can make it charge points for challenges it would be appriciated, i am using ushop for the points, if it matters

This hack works...

But when a user wins a game and gets a highscore, I get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE forum_user) SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+525 WHERE userid='1'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near ') SET uttpoints)=uttpoints)+525 WHERE userid='1'' at line 1

mysql error number: 1064

This error doesn't occur if they don't get a highscore and are getting the jackpot points.

It looks like it's got an extra ")" in the code somewhere which I must have added inadvertantly. Can someone tell me what to change to fix this?

I don't think any of those ) are supposed to be there. Go back over the steps of the hack and take those out.
