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):

Guys, we should get together somehow and "force" MrZeropage to upgrade this to VB5 and also to fix some issues with VB4. Small donations and nice word can do miracles. Are we allowed to create separate thread in order to do this, to gather and see who is interested?
Can we talk about ammount of donations and to see how many of us are interested and later on to contact "Zeropage" and see is this possible.
If we are not together we cant do much, but together we can do a lot!

Pretty sure you'll run into a blank on that, because of this:

Where would be proper place to ask "vBulletin Solutions, Inc" to simply give free licenses to some coders here?
This would benefit everyone, if only license is a problem but I am afraid there is more to this than just a license.
Only trying to do something, better than doing nothing.

In your dreams. It's not happening.

It was an idea, suggestion. You sound like I placed my hand in your pocket
Big companies with lots of resources tend to invest in future, and this will be investing in future of VB.


Anyways, I am 99% sure that Ibproarcade will be upgraded to VB5 sooner or later, I bet sooner

This comes up from time to time, and I can categorically state it isn't going to happen.

This wouldn't be investing in the future of vB though - it would be investing in the future of people making add-ons and then selling them for profit (which is what would inevitably happen).

As I can see many of us will not upgrade to VB5 as there is no enough modifications, would say that many of us will not go for VB5 without favorite modifications.
If you look at VB5 modifications that really looks pathetic now, after how many years ?

Things go two ways, no mods less sold licenses, more mods surely few more or much more (I dont know) licenses will be sold...
How it is not investing in VB future?
Its like when real estate companies invest in parks....

I upgraded to VB5 because I was thinking few of my active members would not mind that much when it comes to modifications like Ibproarcade, I was very wrong and now thinking to go back to VB4...

ps
Used VB5 license we can find from 80$, think about it.
And I bought my first VB license because of modifications, if in that time I would see just few modifications I would never purchase it....
