Updates
==========================
1.0.0 - Initial release

1.0.1 - Bug fix update
? This release addressed a couple of small bugs. Information on fixing
these issues can be found in the FAQ. (Included in this zip.)

1.0.2 - Bug fixes and new features
? This release makes all games on the Arcade main page appear in the
order which they were installed, regardless of whether or not it has
been played. (With the newest games at the top.)
? It includes a
page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.
? There is also a new search feature, for finding games by name/description. (Accessible through the "Search" menu in the navigation bar.)
? This release should be less CPU intensive than previous versions.

1.0.3 - Bug fixes
? Security fixes

History & Hack Information
- So, what is the v3 Arcade?
The v3 Arcade is exactly what the name implies - an online games arcade that offers seamless integration with your vBulletin forum.

The v3 Arcade is the first of the new generation of vBulletin additions. Back from its roots, the v3 Arcade is the vBulletin 3 edition of my original Arcade written in late 2002 (not to be confused with futureal's 'ProArcade', which was written during the Arcade's beta phase).

v3 Arcade Features Include:
? Integrated Flash gaming for vBulletin 3
? Advanced leader board system
? FULL Mozilla/Netscape Compatibility
? Moderation abilities for Mods/Super Mods/Admins
? PM & Email notification for events
? Advanced statistics for all users
? A higher level of security
? "Arcade Challenges", 1-on-1 contests between users
? Arcade awards system
? Automated and manual score pruning tools

This installation comes loaded with the following games:
? Tetris
? Snake
? Asteroids
? Chopper Challenge
? Space Invaders

If you have the source (.FLA) for a game that you want to use in the v3 Arcade, you can send the required files to john@v3arcade.com for conversion. (Providing permission has been given by the original author.) Within a reasonable delay, I'll post the converted game and installation script on vBulletin.org.


Testing
Tested on vBulletin 3.0.3, across multiple unhacked installations.


Thanks to...
? Kura: For helping out with vB3 difficulties!
? Erwin: Whose vB2 Flash Player inspired the original hacks
? Paul Neave: For providing the source for 4 of the standard v3 Arcade games


IMPORTANT NOTES
? If you do install this hack, please click on the INSTALL button. There are going to be some updates for this which you're really not going to want to miss!
? Each Arcade page has an Eovie Interactive and Flash Player link at the bottom. This is optional, but greatly appreciated.
? You may have noticed that this release of the v3 Arcade is not fully phrased. To phrase the arcade would require well over a hundred phrases to be added, making for a lengthy installation process! Futures version of the v3 Arcade will be phrased, with a more automated installation.
? And don't forget - BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!


Regarding the "ProArcade"
There has been a lot of debate on vb.org recently about the ownership of hack "concepts". My original Arcade hack (on which the v3 Arcade is based), was a progression of the my vBTetris Leaderboard hack - both of which came about before the ProArcade. I've spoken to Erwin regarding this, and he can confirm that this has always been an independent development; hence the v3 Arcade was authorised for release.

Fixes
If you're installing the Arcade from scratch, there are no fixes or updates to be applied. Simply follow the instructions in Installation.txt.
If you've already installed the Arcade, make the changes in Updates.txt.

I installed v3 Arcade and 18 games without a hitch. Very well done I must say I love the simplicity behind installing games. No complicated codes and database management necessary.

I just installed this hack. No problems while the installation. However, whenever I try to access the arcade link, it says I don't have permission to enter the forum. So I go to the usermanager and it's on 'yes' for me. Where did i go wrong?
If you've made any custom usergroups, they will be denied access by default. Only the original usergroup numbers are given default access as was the case with my forum. Check your usergroup permissions (AdminCP - Usergroups - Scroll down to the Arcade Management).

but the "ORDER BY shortname asc" orders them in descending order and when I use desc it does the same thing.

Any ideas guys?

My arcade can be viewed here - http://forum.cricketweb.net/arcade.php?
Try capitalizing ASC. SQL commands are case sensitive in some usages.

ORDER BY title ASC

This is my original arcade.php file, Could anyone have the time to look at it an tell me if he/she sees something wrong on it, thanks in advance.

This was my first message:

Quote:
Well I was messing with the files trying to translate them to my language, but now when you try to add a comment to a game that you just finish playing you get a blank page with the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_no_permission() in /home/webadmin/forospanama.com/html/arcade.php on line 1352

I think that I changed something in the template that it is related to the main arcade.php file, can anyone help me with this, Thanks.

Multiple pages ?

I have installed numerious games, and when I check your site ithas a "Page 1 ..2 ...3 " etc in the bottom right.

On mine, it only shows the first page with 10 games on it.

How can I solve this, so it shows multiple pages ?

I have the latest version etc...

Sounds like you didn't complete the upgrade instructions. Make sure you do the step where you edit the template.
