For vb 4.x: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239817

This is a late-Beta, it has been tested fairly extensively and all the big kinks should be worked out. That said, once this hits more sites a couple other bugs are bound to work themself out. It works going back at least as far as the 3.6 branch of vBulletin, not sure about 3.5.

This is the free version of The Gameroom by http://vbgaming.org, the follow up / expansion of the Casino plugin for vBulletin. It improves the multiplayer gaming aspects by bringing in more games, and allowing users more options when starting and joining games.

- Seperated framework, Flash caches this once, and only once. Resulting in a smaller file size everytime after the first. It is cached across sites as well, so there is a good chance most people already have it
- Roulette history was showing '37' when it landed on '0'
- Chess - Optional grid labels / moves in chat box

Updating:
1) Upload the framework files, they should go into the main forum folder with the .swf files folder. You will only need to do this once, which is why they are in a seperate file.
2) Upload the files in the main package, make sure everything overwrites old copies.


*********************************
** Common Problems **
*********************************

Non-english letters are not working properly
This is a problem with flash player and has been in there bug tracker for a long time. The workaround is to edit the "gameroom" template, remove the line that ways "wmode='transparent'", the downside it your popup menus will come up behind the flash box, rather then in front of it.
Images are working in IE, but not in Firefox
You likely have some form of image hot linking turned on, it is causing the requests for the images to be blocked.
Locked self out of admin panel
In the tools folder there is a file called 'makemeadmin.php', upload this and go to that page. It will make you admin, don't leave it on your server when you are done.
Updated and it is acting funny
Make sure all of your files are up to date. When you update ensure that all files are overwritten. Having mix matched files will cause funny behaviour. You may also have to clear your cache and reload the page after uploading a new gameroom.swf file.

*********************************
** Uninstall **
*********************************

If you want to uninstall the following procedure will get you through it without tossing any DB errors:

1) Dissable the product, this shuts down all the plugins. If the files are removed and plugins are still active you may see errors on your site.

2) Undo the template changes, changes where made to the navbar template and the postbit / postbit legacy template.

3) Delete all files. If the files are still present and you remove the database entries by uninstalling the product anyone that attempts to access one of them will cause a error. The Flash Banner could cause many as it could still be making calls after the template changes are undone.

gameroom.php
gameroom.swf
gameroomBanner.swf
gameroom/*
includes/cron/gameroom_nightly.php


4) Uninstall the product file, which removes all database entries, that means the following are removed:

tables with 'gameroom_' as a prefix
gameroom_cash field within the user table

Andrew a few bugs i found. I just installed the 0.9.7 version. I had 6 of my friends and we started a poker game but it was messed up first hand i had aces and my friend had aces. 2nd hand two people had pocket aces again. i have a screenshot of it because they both had ace of hearts and ace of spade both of them so we quit playing.. i just played my friend in chess and i had him in check and he did the king counter(roshee) or however u spell it while he was in check and that isn't allowed.

Hi Andrew - I'm having a tough time installing this - I can't get any of the images to appear. I'm using Firefox and I just tested and they work fine in IE.

Any ideas?

I'm having issues with this plugin. Every 5 minutes while this is enabled it causes the posts table to have to be marked as crashed and therefore needs to be repaired. Am I alone on this one?

It doesn't touch the posts table... are you sure this is the cause?

I understand it's a beta version but it seem there is a lot of work to do.
It crash (freeze) after few minutes of playing in poker for now.
When you start a new game in poker with 2 players we always have the sames cards, one with 2 aces and the other 2 queens and a five.
when making a new game, it's take few minutes before the other player see it and sometime the game disappear from the list.
In chess, we never can start the game.
In IE 8 the game appear in the upper left corner of a big grey square, in IE 7 and Firefox it's ok.
i run the last version downloaded this afternoon.
It'a super nice game, hope it will work fine sometime.
