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 have a problem I hope someone can help.. I installed v3arcade.. then saw this one, I uninstalled v3m and installed this one..

well, v3 deleted the words in the usergroup manager but not the check boxes and when I go to change a permission i get an error, it says

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

Any way to delete that query or add the right column, I am stupid when it comes to sql so if i need to add a column pleas give me detailed instructions..

Thanks..

Zero, I have not been able to upgrade ot the latest arcade version yet BUT, I noticed I have disabled the tournament crowns info in postbits but I still see this query:

SELECT c.*, g.gname, cat.password FROM games_champs AS c, games_list AS g, games_cats AS cat
WHERE (c.champ_gid=g.gid) AND (g.gcat=cat.c_id) AND trim(password)=''

So there's 15 pages and I'm not really in the mood to look through them all but do you know if this arcade has more games that v3Arcade? Thanks!

Short Awnser: Yes

Long Awnser: Yes, because it lets you use v3arcade, ibproarcade and pnflashgames.....

It seems a lot of people are having this problem with the scores and being logged off when trying to submit the scores.

So is there anything more knows about these bugs?

[MortysTW]

The only "logging out" issue I know about is non-arcade related. Tends to happen on my site if someone is playing a game that literally takes over 5 minutes to play. The games are all flash and therefore fully loaded onto the visitors PC so the "playing" of the game does not get noticed as "activity" by vbulletin so the user is auto-logged out of the site. When hitting SUBMIT SCORE when they complete the game, the forum realizes they aren't logged in and requests the login. The way people avoid this issue is by making sure they click the REMEMBER NEXT TIME box when they log into the site upon that visit.

To sum up my reply, I don't think the logging out is an arcade issue, its a "lack of activity" issue of the user. Same thing would happen if it took them 10 minutes to hit the SUBMIT button on a typical post after they had hit the REPLY button. (But this issue might not exist anymore due to AJAX, dunno.)

[Ohiosweetheart]

I have a completely different problem.....

When I first installed this last week, the champions were scrolling right to left above the join date in the members postbit. NOW, they are being listed vertically, rather than scrolling, which is vertically stretching out the postbit and it looks horrible!

Anyone know what might have changed to make it do that??

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.

I'm using 2.5.3 and users are using IE

[cyberhypnotic]

Upgrade to version 2.5.4. It has a fix for IE users. I had the same problem and what I did to fix it temporarily was make the default skin v3arcade. For some reason, IE users were able to play tournaments with it that way.

But download the new version 2.5.4, it has a few fixes in there. It also has a few bugs, so you'll have to read back about some of the tweaks you gotta make to the script(s).

[Synth]

Cool, thanks. I upgraded and everything went fine and the tounament works now The only problem I have now is that when I confirm the tounament i get this error on a white page after the redirect:

mySQL query error: SELECT userid, username FROM user WHERE userid IN() ORDER BY userid

mySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY userid' at line 1
mySQL error code:
Date: Saturday 28th of January 2006 09:35:30 AM

But the tournament is still created and works fine.

Thanks for the help
