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:

I decided to do some cosmetic work on the admin side of things, which is something I've been meaning to do for awhile. I want to eliminate the step of adding code to adminfunctions.php, so I will just do my own HTML formatting for the admin section.
Since it will be less dependant on vB's predefined functions, this will also make it much easier to "drop" the hack into vB3 when it is released.

I think this would be a nice feature; the hack automatically putting in the HTML code for the flash file, but allowing you to define the width and the height when adding/editing a game (in a text box). Also, if someone wanted to edit the HTML embed code, you could always offer an [Edit HTML Code] button somewhere. That would be pretty cool, if you can do it

vB-Host.com: Those are known issues; the arcade only works with IE on Windows-based systems, with a few possible exceptions.
Galforce: That is a possibility...

futureal - A nice addition I added to my forums that you might be interested in including with the next version would be allowing the users to select different sizes for the games. I altered mine a little so it has a default size, then the users can pick a size 0.75, 1.25, 1.50, or 2 times as large. It's not very hard to do and IMO it's a great feature.

Tigga: Cool, I will add that to the feature wish list. I am still not adding new features, at least not for Beta 2.1, I am just cleaning up old code, fixing bugs, and optimizing things.
And while we're on the topic, it's time for some new teaser screens... From the Modify Game section of the Admin CP:
