ibProArcade is compatible to ibProArcade-Games (*wow* surprise!), v3arcade-Games and PNflashgames (www.pnflashgames.com, use POSTNUKE format).
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):
---MAD---, Acers, Aftermath, beacher, dede1, E=mc?, Esposito, Feckie (Roger), Gemma, ggiersdorf, GrendelKhan{TSU, Huijting, jbd, JTyson, kall, kylek, MasterMaik, matrix, media4you, micheal332001, MissKalunji, MrLister, nitro, nullified, Okie, Paul_Hollibone, Scotty2k, Ski-Whiz, slank, Smoker, stangger5, Synper, soniceffect, Sooner95, tcs, Tekram, Willy, Wordplay and everybody else I forgot to mention here

No Paul. The security flaw was there long before that.

Right - so when did you get a time machine then ?

Alternatively, perhaps you would enlighten us all as to how you fix an issue before you are informed of it.

I think this is bad advertising for an alternative product, I was here in time and provided a fix within one day !

Ron, thanks, I will setup vB4 latest release next weekend on my testsite and implement fixes for that, leading in ibProArcade v2.7.2+ then

Oh okay.

Does this mean:

A. You finally fixed the previous security flaw that's been up for months.

B. You noticed the previous security flaw during an update and fixed it thinking it was new.

C. You only fixed the new security flaw.

Your right. I don't know if they posted the issue in this thread after they got hacked.

If anything, I should've mentioned it myself in this thread after it happened last month.

Sorry.

[BirdOPrey5]

If no one reports a confirmed hack neither the staff or the mod author have any idea anyone is "being hacked" through this mod.

You can report being hacked by using the "Report Post" feature on the top post or PMing a staff member. Posting in a thread is not a report because quite frankly we don't all read every post, and the details should be kept confidential anyway.

Yes it's very important to let us know, don't specifically post the code for the reasons I noted a few posts back, use the report feature as a member did recently who brought this to our attention, it was further reviewed by staff then submitted to MrZeroPage who then promptly fixed it and that's how anyone should handle this from here on out.

I also understand how some want to notify everyone "ohh there's a flaw let's post it and warn others" i.e. helping while genuinely sincere can cause mass panic (I mean really ladies and gents the insults that are thrown or hinted to are simply ridiculous sometimes, honestly or I wouldn't take the time to say so please try to afterwards, understand from another perspective that they are unwarranted at best imo.) when all you need to do in nearly all similar situations is disable or uninstall the mod and security should not be pfff'd away as you all say and stress - it's up to everyone one of us to secure our forums, it's up to end-users to trust in those forums yet we must all assume responsibility for using the sites ourselves imo as we can't always take action against those doing the actual harm .

Will updating make it appear as thought my games have been wiped?
If so, how do I get them back to normal?
I will update tomorrow.
Thanks for updating this @ Mr Zero

Just updated to latest version and now get this message when trying to submit a score:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

[Black Tiger]

Thanks for the quick security fix.

However, I discovered a bug which was also present in 2.7.0.

Upgrade to 2.7.1 or disable the mod completely.

Disabling won't work, because if you set this to disable in the Plugin and products section, the arcade won't be disabled at all. I can still keep playing games.
This should not be the case.

I can even still play games if the arcade is turned of in the arcarde main settings, but this could be because I'm admin.
However, when disabled within plugins and products, the game is -not- disabled. This would need a fix too.
