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):

Me neither. I can get some games to load if I unzip them and load them FTP. But I don't get the image icons. I also can't seem to keep the files CHOM'ed 777 via my FTP client...strange.

Hello,
Thanks for such a great hack...i've installed it successfully, and its working fine...
but the only problem i'm getting is, whenever i try to edit any Usergroup in "UserGroup Manager", i got an error ....

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ' in /home/quickry/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php(888) : eval()'d code on line 13

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ' in /home/quickry/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php(912) : eval()'d code on line 27

Please tell me how to get it back to work...since i want to add more usergroups, and i cant do them ....

[MrZeropage]

@Sagesseforum:
Upload the PHP-Files again and make sure they are uploaded properly

[MrZeropage]

@Jazzz:
Seems like one of your Usergroup-Names include a special character -> '
Remove it ...

[Jazzz]

Thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately that doesnt work...i dont have any sort of special character in the UserGroups....
heres what comes at the bottom of the above posted error..

"MySQL Error : Unknown column 'arcadepermissions' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054"

Maybe i think its because the iBPArcade uses its own "Group Permissions" for the specific Usergroups...

What do you think?

[Ambie]

Hi, I have two problems. Well, three actually.

1. The leaderboard keeps resetting itself and wiping clean every day.

2. The games are real small in the pop up windows.

3. Some games are not taking scores because it says "only high scores are recorded" even though the person DID get the highest score and I have it set in the admin panel to record every score. (This has only happened twice)


Any ideas? Great mod BTW. Thanks.
PS. I am running 3.09

[mariannet]

I have translated everything in ibProArcade v2.5.3+, will I loose this when updating to ibProArcade v2.5.4+?

[Synth]

Is there any update to the game not showing up when a player trys to start the game in a tournament?

[dapinard]

Great mod. I have a couple of quick questions.

1.) I noticed that scores attained in a tournament do not seem to be credited towards a users high score, personal best etc. For example if I score higher in Asteroids in a tournament, my personal best etc, will still be whatever my highest score was "outside" of tournament mode. Just wanted to see if this was by design, or a bug.

2.) I am also having users logged out, and the resulting issues posting scores. I have upped my VB cookie timeout to hopefully help with some of this but wondered if there was anything else we could do? I realize I could open every game in a separate window and refresh my main forum window before submitting scores, but don't think thats something I want my users to do. Any thoughts on this?

Again, great mod, thanks for all your hard work.

[EDIT] I'm running VB3.53, VBAdvanced 2.0.0 and ibProArcade v2.5.4+

Are you using ibproarcade v. 2.5.3 or 2.5.4?

Are these users using Internet Explorer or Firefox?

Version 2.5.3 is moslty optimized for Firefox. So if a user uses Internet Explorer for tournaments, the games won't show up. Probably just a horizontal bar will show up instead of the game. If this is the case, then update to version 2.5.4.

For more support questions, I suggest posting here.

If you have any other questions, I could possibly help you. I've gone through a few problems that others seem to be dealing with also. Just send me a PM and I'll do my best to try and help you out.

I'm trying to be a nice guy and field some questions so MrZeropage can try to have some more time to work on bugs, fixes, etc. for any future releases.
