This Hack was originally done for Invision Power Board (IPB) by Chris Kelly and later adapted to work within vBulletin 3.0.x but had no real integrated AdminCP and even some illegal licensed Files from IPB included, so it was removed from official vBulletin-Sites.

ibProArcade for vBulletin comes along with a complete new AdminCP with even more options and improved functionality, has been bugfixed alot and I implemented some additional feature that where missing. All known security-issues found have been fixed.

ibProArcade is full compatible to PHP4 and PHP5 and works with all vBulletin 3.x.x (yes, 3.0.x + 3.5.x + 3.6.x + 3.7.x + 3.8.x) with all the same Scripts !
ibProArcade v2.7.5+ and later is full compatible to PHP5.6 and PHP7 and works with all vBulletin-versions 3.x/4.x with all the same Scripts !
PHP7.0/7.1 require minimum vBulletin 3.8.11 or 4.2.5 and ibProArcade v2.7.5+

Installation of ibProArcade is very simple and easy:

vBulletin 3.0.x
upload the Files
run the Installer
edit 4 PHP-Files
edit 3 Templates
add 1 new Template


vBulletin 3.5.x & 3.6.x & 3.7.x & 3.8.x & 4.x.x
upload the Files
import the Product-XML-File
edit 3 Templates



If you are upgrading from an existing Arcade, some information:

• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.6.6+ and older) check the included Upgrade-Information (look in Archive)
• For existing ibProArcade-Installations (v2.5.1) just do everything like a fresh installation, your Games and Scores should be kept automatically
• For existing v3arcade-Installations (v1.0.x) for vBulletin 3.5/3.6 there is the converter available.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody who helped in the 3 months of development, testing and bugfixing the initial v2.5.3+ (in alphabetical order):

Where do you find games to add?

[DoB Rhapsody]

I'm a getting a particular error on like 56 of functions/functions.php.

I'll re-up all the files again and the problem will be fixed. Only for a similar error to appear a few hours to a day later.

ERROR:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';' in ******/arcade/functions/functions.php on line 59

Sometimes it's a forward slash instead of the semi-colon.

PLEASE HELP. The only thing i can do is keep re-uping the files for a few hour fix. This problem appeared randomly last week. I'm running the lastest version of the mod aswell as vbcredits integration mod.

Yes. It eats bandwidth. But its not the mod itself, its the fact that you have files on your server of various sizes that are your individual GAMES and everytime someone plays a game, those files get loaded.

Its no different than a stack of video files. Everytime someone watches a video, your bandwidth is being "eaten" and you must protect your small children.

But the code itself isn't to be concerned with. It was made with German technology. Just look at the VW Jetta and the GT. Stylish, sleek, and handles well. Please visit www.VW.com today to schedule a test drive at a dealership near you.

So, the only thing you are "re-up'n" is the actual functions.php file? Not the product.xml file?

Cuz in no way should your functions.php file be allowed to be "written" to where it would be altering every few hours. Unless you've been hacked and their is some weird Cron job going on that keeps tweaking that file.

But if you are doing the product too, I'm guessing its a "scheduled event" in your AdminCP>Scheduling & Maintance (SOMETHING LIKE THAT)

Its at the very bottom.

Turn off that CREDITS mod for a few hours and see what happens. Might not hurt to check just for the hell of it that you don't have any users with a ; or a / in their username.

Alright. I'll uninstall the vbcredits with ibproarcade mod and report back.

Hi! In my navbar hook I added a code so the variable works on forum, but it's not working on ibp! Anyone help?

I said turn OFF not uninstall. You can just DISABLE any mod/plugin/product that is running on your VB without deleting or removing it.

Uninstalling works too though I guess. Just more work than needed.

Try doing the full path in your hook's code snippit. Because the arcade has a bunch of itself in /forum/arcade/whatever_page_here.php. I'm guessing your hook has something like ./whatever.php instead of /home/mysite/html/forum/whatever.php

I have a question for Mr Zero

I have 3 types of visitors that are allowed to play games

- Guest - Play games in categories X and Y, not allowed to save score
- Members - Play games in categories X and Y, can save score
- Sponsor Members - Play games in categories X, Y and Premium categories, can save scores

When a guest or a member clicks a game belonging to the Premium category they get the message "Your usergroup is not allowed to play any game from that category"

Would it be possible to change that message to something like " Only Sponsor Members have access to Premium games. To become a Sponsor or to learn more Click Here"


Many Thanks for a Superb Mod

I'm not him, but open up the file /forums/arcade/lang/lang_Arcade_en.php

Take notice to the _EN at the end of the file, cuz the lang_Arcade.php file is for a whole other set of phrases.

Around line 184 you will find:

err_category => "Your usergroup is not allowed to play any game from that category.",

Just make sure you don't use any words like DON'T CAN'T WON'T, the ' will goof things up. Make sure to leave the " on the front and end too and do not remove the comma on the very very end. So basically just edit the words in between the " "

Not positive, but when you are doing your link at the end or any type of HTML that needs a pair of " " around it, such as src="http sorta thing, make it with a single so it looks more like < src = ' http url goes here ' and target = '_blank ' > type of setup

Let us know how that works out, because I'm unable to test it here at work since my site is banned from my company's internet access.
