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.

That is not a command. The arcade cp is in your forums admincp. There is an option in there to reset all high scores in the database. Use that option in your arcade cp. If you only want to remove one persons high score there is a new hack on http://www.vbarcade.com that will allow you to remove an individual's high score. Here is a direct link to the hack to remove an indiviual score... http://www.friedwalrus.com/removescores.txt

When clicking "New Reply" I get pic. #1
After writing and then submitting I get pic #2

Then it says:

Please complete both the subject and message fields. Press the back button, correct the problem and try again.
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Both are as should be, but it seems that it does not read these fields.
If I edit a post, it says "edited by" but the new text or alteration does not show up?

Thanks for your time!

Thanks guys, everything's finally setup at spoofee.com!

[Ganon]

I had a user get disconnected before their high score could be submitted. I know there's no option in the CP to edit in a score, but is there some sort of backdoor way to do this?

[Jason McConnell]

Got this install with nary a scratch

Only problem I'm having, and this is minor, is that the Arcades link works just fine in my forum... but not on my portal. The portal index is outside the forum directory in the root, so how would I go about re-writing the link and have it work both ways?

I'm pretty sure a conditional statement would work, but I'm a n00b. Any help would be appreciated
