ibProArcade is compatible to ibProArcade-Games (*wow* surprise!), v3arcade-Games and PNflashgames (www.pnflashgames.com, use POSTNUKE format).
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):

It was becoming a bit of a joke that a supposedly supported product hasn't been updated since Dec 2009!

I've therefore switched over to v3 Arcade, and all I can say is its a real eye opener and I wish I had switched a long time ago. Upload a few files (and I mean a few, not like the bloated load you get with this one), and import the product. No manual template edits, no editing to fix errors or issues. It just works out of the box and very well.

I highly recommend everyone considers switching to v3 Arcade because it really shows what a well supported product should be like. This ibProArcade has obviously not been developed or properly supported for over 2 years now, and only a half hearted effort to update it for vB4.

Works flawlessly if you want to do a few things..


you never asked for help in the support forum or anywheres from what I can see other wise it would of been working that very same day
to each it's own..

No problems reported for me on vb 4.1.1

Umm...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=244726

You even replied in my thread, although not directly to me... and as can be seen others have the same issue running the same configuration. (vB index.php file outside of the forum dir so the CMS is running in the domain and the forums below in /forum/ dir).

I'm not arguing that with a lot of work this product probably could be made to function.

But it wasn't just that which made me switch. ibProArcade is broken. No one can download the product offered on this page, install it and have it working out of the box. They have to edit files to fix a lot of bugs. Things like the arcade's template loading messed up in vB4 after the default install, no native support for adding a new arcade tab in vB4 (requires someone elses plugin), hiscores not saving.. etc. If this product was supported by its developer they surely would have taken all these fixes from the community by now and built a fully working and fixed new version of this product. They haven't, therefore it isn't supported and is broken.

Another is the need to still manually edit forum template files. These should all be auto edited by the product these days. The need to manually edit files should be long gone.

I do commend you Hippy for your personal dedication to this product and all the help you seem to now be giving to members with problems. Why don't you do exactly what I suggest? Fix the product and offer an updated fixed version that actually works with vB4? I would even suggest you offer to take over this project from the developer as you are supporting it 100 times better than he ever did.

Another huge thing that V3 Arcade is doing, which this product really needs to do, is ditching custom templates within its own product and moving over to using vB4's own template structure. This means the product uses the forums custom templates and will automatically look right.

[Hippy]

I see my post, It was directed to you
since I posted after all those people I allways reply to the first post first ...
then the others come next ..
I should of quoted you
but some times I hit and run so much to read in a short time.

anyway I see your point...

I just can't give it up since I have ran/ worked/ etc since day 1.. on so may forums..
and now I try to help many keep it alive..
Search my posts I asked a few things and 99.9% of the time it was not answered so I figure I would learn how it ticks and fix it my self..
so I try and share the info I learned..

it needs to be updated big time and I have it all worked out ATM, if it was my mod I would release it

but since it's not mine, I don't have permission to I can't. I can just help..

sorry it didn't work out
But if you ever want to install it again I can help you get it looking /working as it should

regards
Hippy

Scores not saving, oh dear.

[Sw0rDz]

Arcade is logging people out. Few users have been getting logged out when they visit/play the arcade game. I've been using the following code so users are able to submit scores.

Index.php

// ibProArcade
if($_POST['module'] == "pnFlashGames")
{
	require_once('./global.php');

	switch($_POST['func'])
	{
		case "storeScore":
		$_GET['act'] = "Arcade";
		$_GET['module'] = "arcade";
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFStoreScore";
		break;

		case "saveGame":
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFSaveGame";
		break;

		case "loadGame":
		$_GET['do'] = "pnFLoadGame";
		break;

		case "loadGameScores":
		$gid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'gid', TYPE_INT);
		$uid= $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
		$game = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games_scores WHERE mid=$uid AND gid = $gid ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 0,1");
		$scores = $game[score];

		if($scores != false)
		{
			//Return true
			print "&opSuccess=true&gameScores=$scores&endvar=1"; //send endvar to keep opSuccess separate from all other output from PostNuke
		}
		else
		{
			print "&opSuccess=false&error=Error&endvar=1";
		}
		break;
	}
}

$act = $_GET[act];
$autocom = $_GET[autocom];
$showuser= $_GET[showuser];
if($act == "Arcade" || $autocom=="arcade") {
include "arcade.php";
exit();
}
if(!empty($showuser) && $showuser >= 1) {
$u = $showuser;
$_GET[u] = $showuser;
include "member.php";
exit();
}

// end of ibProArcade
