vbProArcade Beta 2
1/5/03: Beta 2 released 9/12/02: Beta 1.03 zip updated to include safe mode fix 9/3/02: Beta 1.03 released -- small bug fixes, see below 9/1/02: Beta 1 of vbProArcade has been posted. Please see below for installation instructions. Background Information vbProArcade is a fully-customizable Flash arcade add-on for vBulletin, complete with game-by-game scoreboards, forum integration, a "champions" system, statistics, and more. This is an extensive hack that is still in BETA form, and I don't recommend installing it if you are not willing to work through potential issues and future updates/upgrades! I am working on making the installation instructions as easy as possible, but it will probably be some time before it is perfect. Watch this post for updates as they happen, and check out screenshots from the list below. If you would like to see the hack in action, you may visit my Shadows of Namek forums. You will need to register to play, but you can view the scoreboards and the arcade itself as a guest. Credits This hack materialized thanks to work and help from a number of people and forums. Here they are:
So far, there are FIVE GAMES that work correctly with this hack. They are: Breakout Pacman Snake Space Invaders Tetris All five .SWF files are included in the release archive. There is now a Flash Games Development Thread for the purpose of modifying existing games to work with vbProArcade, or for creating new games to be compatible with vbProArcade. If you have a game that you wish to see modified but don't know how, post the .FLA source in that thread and hopefully somebody can assist you. Installation Instructions Download the file attached to this post, unzip it and familiarize yourself with the contents BEFORE doing anything. There are TWO separate files worth reading, the Documentation and the Installation Instructions. I recommend that you read both BEFORE doing anything else. Once you have done this, the instructions to be followed are contained in vbproarcade-install.txt. Follow them as precisely as possible. If you encounter an error somewhere, it is likely that you missed a step or made a small error. Please double-check your work BEFORE posting about problems here. And it cannot be said enough: read that file before you do anything, and if you are unsure of something, please post your question(s) before attempting to install the hack. Problems and Fixes/Workarounds (as of 1/5)
Here is the list of stuff that I know does not work. I will be working towards correcting these bugs BEFORE adding new features for the next release.
Here is the list of posts from this thread that contain screen shots for the new version. Check them out!
This is the stuff that is in progress for future release:

in the proarcade.php file you will see something like this
($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 2) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 5) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 7) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 8) you need to find out what is ypur newgroup's # and add the stastement to it... if you look back in this thread you will see others including me had the same problem in the passed...its a very easy fix... good luck

well like audionuts said before..
surely u create some usergroup... or rename the old one check the usergrouID of the concerned members... CP > UserGroups > Modify now mouse over on "edit" (the usergroup u want), u will see a the bottom of ur page something like: "http://www.yoursite.com/xxx/xxx..../usergroup.php?s=xxxxxxx xxxxxedit&usergroupid= Y were Y is the "level" of ur usergroup now go and edit proarcade.php: u should find by default this: if ( ( ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 2) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 5) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 6) and ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 7) and just insert a new line or midify the number... like i done 10 posts upper... or like the copy of audionuts so be careful, check if you did'nt give the right to play for non registred... lol and sorry for this terrific english...

Hey Futureal...the hack works nicely.
 I do have one comment though..i followed the instructions to a "T" and one of the things I have found was that the original instructions need to be updated with a few things. One: Make sure that the manual instructions include the allgames.sql query that needs to be run. Two: Make sure that the original changes to online.php in the manual instructions include the following fix from this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...235#post294235 This will fix the online issue in 2.2.7.  Three: The top scoreboard apparently only shows 3 entries. My question is, I have the following scores let's say in Snake. 24,8,7,2,1. Now logic would stand to reason that the TOP scoreboard would reveal 24,8, and 7 as the top scores. However..this is not the case. 24 and 1 are scores I achieved, while 7 and 2 are ones another member have achieved. What it is showing is 24, 8, and 1 My guess here is that only one user per high score will be shown...is that correct? Sort of a personal best pitted against the other members?

As for the Top Score Board, it is designed to display each user's single BEST score for each game. So basically, we're ranking the users based on their best scores. This is in place since some users may play a game many times and fill the scoreboard with their scores; it seems more useful to be able to see only the single best score for each user.
