PNflashgames does even offer Multiplayer-Games.


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):

Well again Nice try.

PS says it works with 4.0.x.. Last update was Dec 09... How does he know? There have been two releases since Dec 09

The laundry list as you so eloquently put it, is posted in this thread - the modification release thread. What a great number of posters seem to have ignored (or be blind to) is the part in the very first post, which is both big and green!

This isn't a support thread! So yes, the list is going to keep on growing so long as people continue to ignore the above. There's a support section for this mod, an actual DEDICATED FORUM for any/all issues to be posted in. The majority mentioned on this thread have already been dealt with so I really don't blame the developer for not wasting his time on this particular thread.

Ps - he says it works on 4.0.x - and he's right! Currently have it running on my site and my members love it.

So in your own words - nice try, but I'm afraid you failed.

AdminCP options Style & Language Settings Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? yes

Arcade style not work correctly by default vbulletin theme

I've always been curious about this thread, as to why it exists at all. Most questions about any mod involves support, so why is this non-support area for this mod here at all? It clearly confuses many people, as many discussions here involve questions for support followed by a reply about this not being a support area.

What IS the purpose of this area then?

One would also assume that said Coder would not have to answer to a problem more than once if said problem was corrected in the Add-On.

Secondly he has no posted ANYWHERE since Jan 31st. That includes the Respective support forums.

I commend you on your support for a fellow coder, however none of my statements are incorrect.

Your under the misconception that every problem can be fixed just by tweaking a few settings in the add-on. That isn't always the case. Sometimes it's unique to individual forum owners, or something that can only be fixed with a manual edit to something on your website. Something the coder doesn't have access to.

This is the download thread, which all mods have to have. But because this mod is so major, it has it's own support forum in the link above.

Thanks DJ!

Yet another Nice Try! Post your picture so we can see the definition of fail.

Do you think I have not gone to the support section and seen the larger laundry list of issues that have not been answered. The support area is full of members "trying" to help other members. When you view someones profile and click on "find all posts by member" it SHOWS posts there also. None of which have happened since Jan 31st. Apparently DJ is trying to help with issues but ZERO is MIA or someone stole his keyboard.

Your juvenile attempt at a comeback or sarcastic reply was a waste of font and keystroke.

What you failed to see or as you put it "are blind to" is that I have not asked for support here. The support section is for that. I simply stated that this product "seems" to be no longer supported by the Coder that posted it and developed it.

P.S: That "other" list of lists is growing also.

[Nadeemjp]

after upgrading to vb4.0.2, the scores are not saving, saying "missing security token" or something.

It was working fine on 4.0.1 but after the upgrade it is going nuts.

please help

[ArcadeSyndicate]

have you made the filechanges again?

[ftechuk]

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was looking for a way to have new high scores from the arcade shouted in the VSa - Chatbox and could find nothing in this thread, so I created this...

Obviously need to have VSa - Chatbox & ibproarcade installed. This is currently working for the latest versions of each on my site, which can be viewed HERE

Also create a new bbcode called 'siteurl' with the code
<a href="{option}">{param}</a>
(This makes the game link in the chatbox open in the same window rather than a new one)

Title = siteurl
BB Code Tag Name = siteurl
Replacement = <a href="{option}">{param}</a>
Example = [siteurl=http://www.example.com]Example Web Site[/siteurl]
Decription = This open site urls in the same window rather than the default target="_blank"
Use {option} = Yes
Button Image (Optional) = Leave Blank
Remove Tag If Empty = Yes
Disable BB Code Within This BB Code = No
Disable Smilies Within This BB Code = Yes
Disable Word Wrapping Within This BB Code = Yes

(Please bare in mind I am not an expert so take no responsiblity for any damage you may cause - backup arcade.php first!). If there was a simpler way to do it, I searched but couldnt find it.

Open arcade.php and find around line 3846

PHP Code:

                        // finally update Highscore-Table
                        if ( ($this->arcade->user['id'] != 0) && ($player_score <> 0) )
                        {
                                                $DB->query("UPDATE ibf_games_champs SET ".$db_string." WHERE champ_gid=".$gid);
                            $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];
                            $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];
                            $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score; 


Add after

PHP Code:

// Insert New Chatbox Message
$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");
while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )
        {
            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";
                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("
                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox
                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)
                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')
                    ");
        }
// End insert 


Then Find

PHP Code:

                    if ($player_score <> 0)     // no champ with no result ...
                    {
                                $DB->query("INSERT INTO ibf_games_champs (" .$db_string['FIELD_NAMES']. ") VALUES (". $db_string['FIELD_VALUES'] .")");
                        $ginfo['champ_mid'] = $this->arcade->user['id'];
                        $ginfo['champ_name'] = $this->arcade->user['name'];
                        $ginfo['champ_score'] = $player_score; 


Add after

PHP Code:

// Insert New Chatbox Message
$DB->query("SELECT c.*, g.gcat, cat.password FROM ibf_games_champs AS c, ibf_games_list AS g, ibf_games_cats AS cat WHERE c.champ_gid=g.gid AND g.gcat=cat.c_id AND g.active=1 AND trim(password)='' ORDER BY champ_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");
while( $row = $DB->fetch_row() )
        {
            $newchattxt .= "[color=green]".$row['champ_name']." set a new high score of ".$row['champ_score']." in [/color][siteurl=http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=".$row['champ_gid']."]".$row['champ_gtitle']."[/siteurl]";
                    $vbulletin->db->query_write("
                        INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."vsa_chatbox
                            (userid, userip, message, dateline, textprop)
                        VALUES ('42', '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."', '".$newchattxt."', ".TIMENOW.", '')
                    ");
        }
// End insert 


Change BOTH INSTANCES of 42 in the above to the value to the userid of the users name you wish to appear in the chatbox. i.e. I have a user with id 42 called Arcade who does all the arcade shouting.

Thats it.
Jim.
