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

page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.

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.

Uploaded and installed - however I have one error in the home page of the vB backend home page:

Code:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_nav_option() in /home/XXX/public_html/boards/admincp/index.php on line 456

Now this is the code it is referring to:

PHP Code:


			
construct_nav_option("General Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=general', '<br />');

construct_nav_option("Game Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=games', '<br />');

construct_nav_option("Score Settings", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=scores', '<br />');

construct_nav_option("Challenges", 'arcadeadmin.php?do=challenges', '<br />');

construct_nav_group("Arcade", '<hr />');

My arcadeadmin.php file is also not working. Whenever I try to load it, it's just a blank page. Anyonw know what's wrong?

and in the first post pages of this forum

I think they should prune this thread down to game links & fixes to questions that are not double.

Have you verified your AdminCP modifications? If so, paste 3 lines above to 3 lines below so we can see what you have in there.

I'm trying to convert back from IBProArcade. I think I got everything, but apparently I missed something.

Here's the arcade page:

http://www.powwows.com/gathering/arcade.php

The header shows, but nothing else???

Thanks

pgowder · #**4138** 08-29-2005, 02:21 PM

Ok, got that part working. Now you can see all the games and my old scores are still there.

Now when you play a game, it won't submit the score. It says, waiting on powwows.com, but it doesn't go through??

Thanks!!

I've only recieved 2 error emails, and not for the games I was trying. But maybe it will help:

PHP Code:

Maybe this bug has already been reported, but with 250+ pages to search through, I thought I would try this...

So the bug is this: When someone matches the high score for a game, the arcade homepage will sometimes show the wrong trophy holder. It appears the query to select the current champ is a bit flawed as it queries only for the highest score, and if it finds two or more, will sometimes select the wrong person (ie. The person who did not get the high score first.)

The bug appears to be in this code block in the arcade.php file:

PHP Code:


			
    // While loop, where part of an SQL query is constructed

    while ($thesession = $DB_site->fetch_array($result_topscores))

    {

        $where[] = "(gamename='$thesession[gamename]' AND score='$thesession[score]')";

        $playedcounter[$thesession[gamename]] = $thesession['played'];

    }

    $DB_site->free_result($result_topscores);

    // Query built

    if(!empty($where)) {

        $whereclause = "WHERE ".implode(' OR ', $where);

    }

    

    // Query to get the other data for the high scores

    $result_topscore2 = $DB_site->query("

        SELECT gamesessions.*, user.username, user.userid, games.*, games.title AS title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "gamesessions AS gamesessions

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON user.userid = gamesessions.userid

        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games AS games ON gamesessions.gamename = games.shortname

        $whereclause AND $sessionclause ORDER BY gamesessions.gamename DESC

    ");

This query needs to be modified to search for the high score AND the lowest final session time (final). I lack the SQL skill to get this done, can anyone help out here?

Thank you!

I've started over from scratch. Now you can play the games, but it won't submit scores. None of the games work. They just hang there at the end.

I've seen several people post about this, but no solutions.

Help!!!
