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):

EDIT: actually, i'm getting that error when trying to view any arcade function, period.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

So looking at that path, it appears you do NOT have a /forum/ directory? Because your arcade is in the root of your website and not in your forum's root. That being that your forum isn't in the root of your site.

[DoB Rhapsody]

*sigh* My forum is in the root directory.

BTW, I just upgraded to the new version and it worked fine for a few hours, then the error came back!

can i download games for ibProArcade vxxx and have them work in ibProArcade v2.6.3+? i see the arcade is now up to v3.3 or something. can i use those games with ibProArcade v2.6.3+?

[Totti]

Ho, i like ibPro a lot ... but we just tested the tournament mode and it looked heavy bugged!

First problems were that ibPro says a player has played 2/2 (we made 2 tries), when the player just had started his second try. But ibPro thought he'd be finished and showed his opponent in the next round! Well if one of those two had finally advanced to the next round this player was supposed to play against himself in semi final - at least it was shown that way.

Just for a test one of us suspended a player, who was waiting in semifinal ... well, this mixed anything up as you can see on the screen. The suspended players succeeded to the final, although his opponent in semifinal has not played out ... but one player of the other semifinal replaced him, so the other player was present in both semifinals.

Anyway ... the player who advanced into the final against the suspended player hadn't any chance to win ...

dunno if this all was just messed up due this suspending stuff, but if so, there should definitely be a option in ACP to disable suspending players ... !

how come when i go to the arcade.php, it didn't go to the arcade page but it show up a download box for me to download the file arcade.php...can anyone help me??

[XFSImperial]

Is there a way for a member to rate a game, but not have to add it to their favorites in order to do so first?

[cache]

somehow, sine that time, every game I install there is this error message. So this may
not be particular game. Am I the only person who has this problem?

FYI, a way around those goofed games is sometimes placing all the files in their proper location instead of using the automatic un-taring function and installing them manually. Info on how to do that if you don't know can be found in the support forums. Link is in the "creation post" of this thread.

(This forum section is about the arcade platform. Which is a platform to run games created by others all around the world. The creator of this arcade isn't responsible for or have much knowledge of what games are out there and who is making them and if they work or not. He just maintains the script that makes it possible to play these games. The working games that is.)

[MortysTW]

Please re-read #1 of what I wrote that YOU even quoted. Please do not reply. Just go to the support forums and start a new thread with full details of what arcade, vbulletin, and anything else you have and versions you are running. Possibly even some server information. You will receive help there if you ask for help.

I have been told that this mod consumes a lot of bandwidth. Is this true?
