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):

Ok, people, let's stop this before it gets any further. It has gone on long enough. This thread is for IBProArcade.

No one is bashing anything here, or shouldn't be, anyway. It's a matter of opinions and nothing else. Both Arcades are equally good in their own right. And both Authors have worked hard on their Arcades. Let's try to remember that and give them both the credit due in their own threads. I retract my statement about any calling out features of any arcade as I reallt don't know for a fact if that is happening or not. And I stated IF when that post was made, by the way. Both John and Zero deserve more than this from all of us. Please, let's get back to what this thread was posted for.

Thank you.

You beat me to this post!
Thank you!
I can understand the bickering but I just would like to get a step by step in reolving my issue:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class db_driver in /home/cpfools/public_html/mkportal/include/mk_mySQL.php on line 7

when completing any game and it goes to update score. Post #301 has got me more baffled than help. If anyone has exact steps of the file and where to get it and what exactly to add or modify please?

[ahennings]

Fantastic job!!! I have one question though. Seems all usergroups can see the Arcade ModCP button. How do I make it so just admins can see and use it?
Keep up the great work guys!!

Have you checked it in other usergroups? The only ones who should be able to see that are staff. Check your arcade usergroup settings.

I'm gone for ONE day (due to work and whatnot) and find that 2.5.3 is posted with nearly 200 installs and 35+ pages! @_@

/me clicks install

[ahennings]

I cant seem to find anything in group permission to enable or disable this function.

vB Version: 3.5.1 
Style: Dark Blue  Hi there

I use CPMS as my main index.php file too and i have added this code to it to save the scores of the arcade.


PHP Code:
 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

Thank you.

Nicely said, and entirely true. For what it's worth, your involvement with this project is largely what drew me in to check it out. Nothing personal whatsoever with my earlier comments -- like I said, I just didn't see the point of open combativeness between projects in a community site like this. As a license holder with zero coding ability, guys like you, John, Zero, even Jenta are saints in my eyes, as you bring extra functionality to our sites. All I can offer in return is my appreciation, and everyone who contributes to this site has it. I just don't like to see *any* modification or author take unnecessary shots.

[C_P]

Thank you much! However, I do not have a cmps index.php file to do this with mkportal. Where would I find that file to modify?
