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):

If the upload doesn't work for you... it failed for me... you could upload/FTP the file to the "./includes/xml/" folder in your installation. Then just use what is already there for the import. "./includes/xml/product-ibproarcade.xml"

That was what I had to do to get it to install correctly for me.

Ahh I see. I didn't realize I could do that Thanks for all of your help guys. It's up and running now.

After upgrading to 4.0.3 I can't submit scores it tells me my security token is missing.

Any help is appreciated!

[gle041]

I have installed but now it looks like it is missing the CSS or something. It looks like the picture below. I tried with a few different styles, all are like this. How can I fix it?

Read back over the threads and add the code as it tells you.
Not sure why that hasn't ever been fixed but hey, when you add it, the scores work fine as does the arcade itself. Not sure why so many others have issues but I am going to guess there is some other plug in or mod messing with things.

disable all the plug ins and see if it works then.

[stuky4ever]

Could you make it work with UCash? Get certain points for every game won?

This statement is not true for me.

I have made a completely new and fresh install. Fresh database and 100% new install. No style changes or hacks or plug ins installed. The only item installed is this arcade. When I went to create my new site, this was the first thing I wanted running. I have had this arcade running on multiple 3.x sites prior to this 4.0 version without any issues.

But just adding the code to the index.php does not fix this problem. I have posted the things I have tried and my results in the support forum.

As with many others, I continue to wait patiently and hope that the new version that is supposed to be in testing now will address this security token error.

Does anyone knows when arcade is going to be VB4 fully compatible without messing templates up? Thanks.
