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 apologize for the long post. I have now had 7 others review my file hacks and no one is able to find the difference.

This is the only hack I have installed.

I suppose I will offer a reward to anyone that can find the differences in my file hacks that does not allow the scores to be saves.

Here are my hacks:

In admincp/index.php:

Code:

	$printhr = false;
construct_nav_option("General Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=general', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Game Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=games', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Score Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=scores', '<br />');
construct_nav_option("Challenges", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=challenges', '<br />');
construct_nav_group("Arcade", '<hr />');

	if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
	{

In admincp/usergroup.php:

Code:

	print_table_break();

print_table_header("Arcade Permissions");
print_yes_no_row("Can View the Arcade? <dfn>Allows usergroup to view the arcade, including high scores and leaderboards</dfn>", 'usergroup[canviewarcade]', $ug_bitfield['canviewarcade']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Play Games in the Arcade? <dfn>Allows usergroup to play arcade games</dfn>", 'usergroup[canplayarcade]', $ug_bitfield['canplayarcade']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Post Comments? <dfn>Allows usergroup to post comments when they achieve a high score</dfn>", 'usergroup[canmakecomments]', $ug_bitfield['canmakecomments']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Edit Leaderboard Comments? <dfn>Allows usergroup to edit comments left by other members</dfn>", 'usergroup[caneditscores]', $ug_bitfield['caneditscores']);
print_yes_no_row("Can Delete Leaderboard Scores? <dfn>Allows usergroup to delete scores and comments left by other members</dfn>", 'usergroup[candelscores]', $ug_bitfield['candelscores']);
print_table_break();

	print_table_header($vbphrase['forum_viewing_permissions']);
	print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['can_view_board'], 'usergroup[canview]', $ug_bitfield['canview']);

Code:

Again, very sorry for the long post, but this is becoming very frustrating.

I sincerely appreciate all the help.

$50, plus $15 a month for the service - the author's fees, I'm afraid. I'm trying to get him to come down, but he's being stubborn.

GamerzWorld · #**1294** 02-16-2004, 02:24 PM

$50 a month for the little lobby thing in the arcade... jesus lol

It's definately not a slow connection problem as we're on broadband and it's submitting all lower scores fine. I can choose try again no problem but after achieving a score of 3235 it will not let you submit anymore scores regardless of what amount they are. But on reloading the game it works fine. It's also not a timeout issue as she got it the 2nd time after only about 30-60 secs of trying.

Any ideas as this is stressing the hell out of her as she should be champ!

Anyone able to help as this is driving my users crazy!

Cheers

No, it's $50 for the license then $15 a month for the socket software, iirc. I think John just typo'ed... I hope he did anyway.

John · #**1297** 02-16-2004, 03:01 PM

Yeah, sorry.

Edit: Fixed, forgot to save/upload global

GamerzWorld · #**1299** 02-16-2004, 03:24 PM

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
