page navigation system, allowing users to browse games by page. By default, 10 games appear per page.

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.

Have you tried that game? It last about a minute & it looks like it was a game design from the 50's

I am getting this error everytime I try to change the init.php file:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ')' in /home/lounge/public_html/forums/includes/init.php on line 918

[AlexUK]

OK, I found the problem in my situation.
Its in the init.php, you have to fix it there and then login into admin panel and make sure the arcade is active, even if it is just refresh again.

Look here:

);

$_ARCADE = array(

'active' => 1,

'netplay' => 2,

'awardson' => 4,

'quickreg' => 8,

'autoprune' => 16,

'highonly' => 32,

'vbcodeon' => 64,

'imgcodeon' => 128,

'smilieson' => 256,

'allowemail' => 512,

'challengescores' => 1024

);



$_ARCADEUSER = array(

'firstvisit' => 1,

'settingschecked' => 2,

'allowchallenges' => 4,

'allowemails' => 8

);



$_GAMESCHECK = array(

'active' => 1,

'netplay' => 2,

'playpanel' => 4,

'challenabled' => 8,

'showaward' => 16

);

Let me know if it works for you guys.

[Lottis]

That dident do me any good.

Are you using 3.0.9 ?
And is there anyone who has got it to work in 3.0.9?

[AlexUK]

I am using 3.0.9. yes.

[Wisch]

I've noticed a lot of people asking for this, and I really want this also, and think it would be very worthwhile in terms of longevity for a community arcade.

Coders interested in some side $$ please take notice:

Thanks!

I can't seem to figure out where I have gone wrong. I check the file and see nothing wrong with edits..... when I replace with original functions.php file forums and arcade works with the exception of the images.

PHP Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/clanspy/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 2018

Please help...I can't seem to figure out how to show more than 10 games on my Arcade Home...I just realized this tonight, and most of the better games are the first 10 (I have about 20 in total). I don't see a "next page" or anything and when I went to the admincp, i don't see a setting where I can enter how many games I want on my Arcade home...

Please help, thanks.
