these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has

page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)

History & Hack Information
- So, what is the v3 Arcade?
The v3 Arcade is exactly what the name implies - an online games arcade that offers seamless integration with your vBulletin forum.

The v3 Arcade is the first of the new generation of vBulletin additions. Back from its roots, the v3 Arcade is the vBulletin 3 edition of my original Arcade written in late 2002 (not to be confused with futureal's 'ProArcade', which was written during the Arcade's beta phase).

v3 Arcade Features Include:
? Integrated Flash gaming for vBulletin 3
? Advanced leader board system
? FULL Mozilla/Netscape Compatibility
? Moderation abilities for Mods/Super Mods/Admins
? PM & Email notification for events
? Advanced statistics for all users
? A higher level of security
? "Arcade Challenges", 1-on-1 contests between users
? Arcade awards system
? Automated and manual score pruning tools

This installation comes loaded with the following games:
? Tetris
? Snake
? Asteroids
? Chopper Challenge
? Space Invaders

If you have the source (.FLA) for a game that you want to use in the v3 Arcade, you can send the required files to john@v3arcade.com for conversion. (Providing permission has been given by the original author.) Within a reasonable delay, I'll post the converted game and installation script on vBulletin.org.


Testing
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.3, across multiple unhacked installations.


Thanks to...
? Kura: For helping out with vB3 difficulties!
? Erwin: Whose vB2 Flash Player inspired the original hacks
? Paul Neave: For providing the source for 4 of the standard v3 Arcade games


IMPORTANT NOTES
? If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. There are going to be some updates for this which you're really not going to want to miss!
? Each Arcade page has an Eovie Interactive and Flash Player link at the bottom. This is optional, but greatly appreciated.
? You may have noticed that this release of the v3 Arcade is not fully phrased. To phrase the arcade would require well over a hundred phrases to be added, making for a lengthy installation process! Futures version of the v3 Arcade will be phrased, with a more automated installation.
? And don't forget - BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!


Regarding the "ProArcade"
There has been a lot of debate on vb.org recently about the ownership of hack "concepts". My original Arcade hack (on which the v3 Arcade is based), was a progression of the my vBTetris Leaderboard hack - both of which came about before the ProArcade. I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Fixes
If you're installing the Arcade from scratch, there are no fixes or updates to be applied. Simply follow the instructions in Installation.txt.
If you've already installed the Arcade, make the changes in Updates.txt.

Hi Intex, I did try what you suggested such as setting usergroup permission, but it is not working. Also all the game settings are active.

You were discussing something about sql editting with sarge, does that help this situation?

[Intex]

Are you sure you have it installed on all the templates? Double-check in AdminCP and confirm they're all there. Also, make sure you database contains the tables for the arcade with something like myphpadmin.

No, this was only because he was asking about how to remove an entry in the database. I'm not sure why people are having problems. I've confirmed this works with 3.0.3 as well.

Darnit!

[hello]

Intex everything is there but it still doesn't load on. When i was on invision board the happened to me on posts so i went to admin cp and on the setting for Type of auto-redirect?
(This is for quick no page redirects) and it was on Location type (*nix savvy) so i put it on HTML META redirect (If all else fails...) and then it worked but i can't find the setting in the vbulletin admin cp

[KTBleeding]

I upgraded to 3.0.3 and now none of my posts show up after this hack.

I'm pretty sure it's because I could not figure this out at all:

=================================
includes/functions_showthread.php
=================================

Find:
___________________________________________________________________________________________

// ###################### Start getreputationimage #######################

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Above this, add:
___________________________________________________________________________________________

if ($arcadegeneral['awardson']==1) {
	// declares the arcade image directory
	$stylevar['imgdir_arcade'] = "images/arcade";
	$arcade_result = $DB_site->query("SELECT shortname,title,gamesettings,highscorerid,highscore,miniimage,gameid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games ");
	while ($arcade = $DB_site->fetch_array($arcade_result)){
		if (($arcade[gamesettings] & $_GAMESCHECK['showaward'])){
			$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['userid'] = $arcade['highscorerid'];
			$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['gametitle'] = $arcade['title'];
			$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['icon'] = $arcade['miniimage'];
			$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['highscore'] = $arcade['highscore'];
			$awards[$arcade[shortname]]['gameid'] = $arcade['gameid'];
		}
	}
}

I can't find that line anywhere.
Anyone know where else I should put this?

[sarge0087]

KTBleeding, you're right, there is no line like that. Instead it's called:

###################### Start doimicons #######################

[sarge0087]

Well... I still have my same problem. Just to update someone that may help me:

Go to my forum and login with the following:

Username: Testarcade
Password: test

Go to the Arcade and try and play a game. Why am I having that problem? Why does it go to "extendsession" instead of the game?
