vbProArcade Beta 2
1/5/03: Beta 2 released 9/12/02: Beta 1.03 zip updated to include safe mode fix 9/3/02: Beta 1.03 released -- small bug fixes, see below 9/1/02: Beta 1 of vbProArcade has been posted. Please see below for installation instructions. Background Information vbProArcade is a fully-customizable Flash arcade add-on for vBulletin, complete with game-by-game scoreboards, forum integration, a "champions" system, statistics, and more. This is an extensive hack that is still in BETA form, and I don't recommend installing it if you are not willing to work through potential issues and future updates/upgrades! I am working on making the installation instructions as easy as possible, but it will probably be some time before it is perfect. Watch this post for updates as they happen, and check out screenshots from the list below. If you would like to see the hack in action, you may visit my Shadows of Namek forums. You will need to register to play, but you can view the scoreboards and the arcade itself as a guest. Credits This hack materialized thanks to work and help from a number of people and forums. Here they are:
So far, there are FIVE GAMES that work correctly with this hack. They are: Breakout Pacman Snake Space Invaders Tetris All five .SWF files are included in the release archive. There is now a Flash Games Development Thread for the purpose of modifying existing games to work with vbProArcade, or for creating new games to be compatible with vbProArcade. If you have a game that you wish to see modified but don't know how, post the .FLA source in that thread and hopefully somebody can assist you. Installation Instructions Download the file attached to this post, unzip it and familiarize yourself with the contents BEFORE doing anything. There are TWO separate files worth reading, the Documentation and the Installation Instructions. I recommend that you read both BEFORE doing anything else. Once you have done this, the instructions to be followed are contained in vbproarcade-install.txt. Follow them as precisely as possible. If you encounter an error somewhere, it is likely that you missed a step or made a small error. Please double-check your work BEFORE posting about problems here. And it cannot be said enough: read that file before you do anything, and if you are unsure of something, please post your question(s) before attempting to install the hack. Problems and Fixes/Workarounds (as of 1/5)
Here is the list of stuff that I know does not work. I will be working towards correcting these bugs BEFORE adding new features for the next release.
Here is the list of posts from this thread that contain screen shots for the new version. Check them out!
This is the stuff that is in progress for future release:

Will this ever be moved out of the beta classification?

Yes, when I am confident that it is worthy of being a final hack. It still lacks some major stuff (notably the Mozilla support).

I haven't really had time to follow this hack in quite some time, so I'm not sure if someone has mentioned this before... If anyone is still having an issue with the amount of time it takes to load the main arcade page when there are a lot of games, I've found a pretty simple fix for that problem. If you log into phpMyAdmin and run the following two queries it will help improve the speed dramatically...
ALTER TABLE `arcadescores` ADD INDEX ( `game` ) ALTER TABLE `arcadescores` ADD INDEX ( `username` ) That doesn't help with the number of queries on that page, but it does help a lot with the page generation times. Before my page took around 2.5 - 3 seconds to load (with about 15 games), but now it's down to about 0.5 seconds. ![]() |

Tigga, good call, optimizing the tables for scalability is something I never thought about or worked on. I'll have to add that stuff to a coming version.
PixelFx, I have actually been working hard with the Gamma version, and rewriting a good deal of the code (especially the admin stuff). I will have the 2.1 beta for vB2 out soon, I swear! |

A query? What is a query? Do you mean this ***/admin/proarcadeadmin.php?

Ummm nope this code
[mysql]DELETE FROM arcadescores;[/mysql] Is called a MYSQL query. Basically it is code that modifys your database in one way or another. It has too be run in your hosts control panel in the database section, usually through a program called PHPMYADMIN |
