PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Well I would like to use this, however, without the scoring working guess it is kinda pointless. Will keep an eye on the thread to see when it is resolved.

It is an excellent hack, zero, very nicely done...just need to get that darn score thing taken care of

How can I edit the templates? With my skin, the link text is unreadable on a white background.

Thanks

Resolved? Those that are having problems are finding out it is not the arcade causing the issue. I'm not sure what more we can do. It works for almost everyone else in the thread.

In the arcade/skins/ directory there is a file called skin_arcade.php. That is where you edit the html code for the page.

Does not work with MKPortal - same Error :

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class db_driver in /poltbofu/www.politikstube.de/mkportal/include/mk_mySQL.php on line 7

The Score is saved but the Error is showed - and Arcade is still not showing the navbar from MKPortal.

I have tried it with the full path including www.politikstube.de of course and without.

What MKPortal does is to add a Line at functions.php :

// parse PHP include ##################
if (!is_demo_mode())
{
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('global_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;
}
//added from MKportal
define ( 'IN_MKP', 1 );
require_once "../mkportal/include/VB/vb_out.php";
$output = mkportal_board_out($output);
//end added

Why does this not work for this Arcade ?

Firstly.......Great work Mr Z & all your helpers.

I'm using vBadvanced and found the code below allows scores to be saved, I did edit out the first section of it though as it was giving me errors, all seems to be in order now.

//if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames"){
// $_GET[act] = "Arcade";
// $_GET['module'] = "arcade";
//}
if($_POST['func'] == "storeScore"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "saveGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
}
if($_POST['func'] == "loadGame"){
$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
}
$act = $_GET[act];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}

Just put that at the top of the cmps index.php file under <?php
Then upload it and all should be fine

[TosaInu]

Very neat hack.

How resource intensive are the games themselves? Is the user loading data into his browser and is the whole game played 'locally' from there on, or does the server proces each second of fun for all users?

[MrZeropage]

Games are downloaded and played in local browser, you just have the traffic for each game to be transferred to the user

The whole installation went fine and the arcade is running. However I have about 1,000 games and over 30,000 scores in the scores table. Any page in the arcade takes over 30 seconds to open on my test site. If I check the server (and this is a Dual Opteron server) I can see MySQL is going mad on queries. I guess it is trying to calculate the new top tables, does it do this on every page!?

I have the same problem on a dedicated server with only 200 games. It's a bit bogged. It's the main page, scores pages and everything, not just the game pages.

Other than that, it's great. :nervous:
