If you downloaded this and have a file named gameroomBasic.swf, it should be named gameroom.swf, sorry about that, it's fixed in the archive now.

I installed this mod on VBul 4.0.4 and it has totally screwed my site. This is what I get when I try to login the admin pannel. I doesn't open the admin pannel it takes my back to my shafted site.

I can't even disable the mod, i'm not locked out, I am screwed!

You can disable all mods by adding a line to your config.php file to disable hooks, offhand I don't remember what it is but I'm sure if you search here it's posted all over.

Once the mods are disabled you can login and uninstall as normal.

To disable mods, edit file config.php

add at top, after <?php

define("DISABLE_HOOKS", 1);

Great mod installed in vb 4.0.5 works great but i have a question, is this safe?im not a big fan of installing game in my forum cause of the secure.
Do i have to worry about that?

Thanks

to date there are no known exploits but you never know- that is a risk with any mod (or forum for that matter.)

Yeah i know nothing is 100% secure but some mods are more insecure than others.
I will take the risk in this one because is a great add for my forum.
Thanks for your answer

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try, this was my test site and I was about to do an entire rebuild.

i wish the regular casino was back, but on vb4. :P

i like having the admin controls inside the actual admin area, not in a tab on the game.

[RollaJedi]

now that i'm going through it more, i take back my comment.

I'd really like to know what the difference between the free and pro is

[BirdOPrey5]

The pro has more games, including 'battleship' which is by far the favorite on my forum.
