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):

hey guys, i have ran into a little problem installing this mod, any help would be appreciated.

Im installing this for VB 3.6 - heres the problem,


everything has went fine during the install process, except the very last step.

The last step says to:
* edit the Template navbar (below "Navigation/Breadcrumb Templates")

In this navbar-Template search for:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Below add:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Arcade</a></td>

The problem here is that when i search for

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

It's no where to be found in the file. I am posting below my exact navbar template, so someone can hopefully tell me where to place the code.

My Template:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Anyway to get this in a cleaner interface like v3arcade?

[casper989]

In the Arcade Settings in the AdminCP>Arcade you will find a drop down option of setting the interface to v3arcade if you would like. I agree, and I have mine set to the v3 style.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. Sorry.

everything has went fine during the install process, except the very last step.

Personally, when I am doing template modifications like this doing the FIND/REPLACE/ADD/WHATEVER steps, I often have problems too and I take a part of the FIND bit the author mentions and then compare and see if what I "found" is what they mention. Cuz alot of times the only difference is a SPACE or something else really simple that causes the issue of not finding a match.

So for this particular thing, I would do a search for calendar.php every time it appears I'd visually look over that bit of code/html and see if it matches what the author is referring to. If you do that, I'm sure you will quickly be able to complete this installation.

I always have to do this too, but this time, there is no mention of calender.php referenced in my navbar, you saw what i posted above, my entire navbar template - you can scim it yourself and see there is no reference to it, maybe you could look @ my navbar template i posted and see if you know what i need to do. Thanks

I too do not have a calendar.php in my navbar template so what I did was I found another link.. say 'Classifieds' and mimiced what I had there. Worked like a charm.

What I do not see in your Navbar Template is what I have in mine...

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
    <tr align="center">
      <if condition="$show['member']">
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">User CP</a></td>
      </if>
      <if condition="$show['registerbutton']">

</if>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'forums'">
      <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forums.php">Forums</a></td>
</if>
      <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbgooglemapme.php" accesskey="5">Map</a></td>
	  <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbarticles.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Blogs</a></td>
      <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="arcade.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Arcade</a></td>
	  <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="/photoplog/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Photos</a></td>
      <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbclassified.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Classifieds</a></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

So maybe you need to create it so you actually have somewhere to place a link.

[elitemerlin]

Ok i fixed this problem instead of finding this line of code

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

in the navbar template, i found something simular to this in the Forum Home Templates > Header, the code i found was this.

<td class="h_nav"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

So i took this code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Arcade</a></td>

and modified the code like this:

<td class="h_nav"><a href="arcade.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Arcade</a></td>

and placed it under it like the install read me says to. and it worked. So to the author of this mod, it might be a good idea to add in, that if you cant find what your looking for in the navbar to look in the header, and make the appropriate changes.

Now on my site, in the header i see the Arcade link, and when i click it, i go to the arcade page, and it looks awsome, im a admin on my site (obviously) and when i try to play a game it says this:

The administrator has disabled playing games for your usergroup.

So i did the obvious thing to do (what the read me says) and logged back into my Admin CP and look for the Arcade drop down menu in the AdminCP, click permissions and adjust accordingly, the thing is, i have no Arcade menu in the Admin CP on the left like it says.

What should i do so i can view this in the admincp?

[elitemerlin]

I have fixed the AdminCP problem, it turns out by default Arcade.php (the one you place in the admincp) was permission to 644, i changed it to 755, refreshed my AdminCP and it was there.

[b6gm6n]

Hello... one of the most bizarre aspects of my arcade is the odd scoring and duplicate scores... for example one guy got the high score to a game, entered his comment and it registered...cool, under that in 2nd place is the exact same score by the same member, different time (1 sec difference) but with no comment... thats everywhere on my arcade... i dunno who's cheating, even if there not...how can i fix this?...i believe its a problem for me
