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):

This is not a fix but a work around. I had this problem too ages ago i have not tested to see if it still persists but i put a notice up in arcade to tell members to check the remember me tab when they sign in this way they will not get signed out!

Hello Alfa owner - did you ever find this?

I know this get's mentioned, overlooked and seldom enforced, but it would be appreciated if you guys would start directing your support questions (and answers) to the ibProArcade Support Forum. That's an entire section of vBulletin.org devoted to support of this modification. Mainly, because it's the most popular modification here. It requires something better than a single thread.

The reason the same questions are getting asked over and over again is because it's virtually impossible to find what you need in a 409 page thread. But a support forum can be searched more readily. Problem is, few of you are using it, or trying to get faster support here. Also, some of you, while certainly having your hearts in the right place, are not helping matters by helping people within this thread. Please direct them to the support forums and help them there. That way we can start building the threads we need with the most common answers to the most common questions. It will make this thread and that forum so much more organised and functional in the long run.

Hello Digital Jedi -

I asked this question a month and a half ago in the support forum, and the only reply I got was from another user that had the same problem.

I'm just looking for an answer from a script which the last post in the support forum from its developer was May 16th of this year.

I am appreciative of the archival value of thread-based support, which is why I have a forum in the first place. But after a month and a half of no reply, I'm expanding my search for support wherever I can find it.

Hope you can understand why after a month and a half of no answers in the appropriate area, why I am trying other sources.

If you'd like to take a crack at my original question, it is located here:

I understand that. Also understand that MrZeroPage left explicit instructions not to use this thread for support or game requests.

If after a couple of days you don't get a reply, check to make sure the question hasn't already been answered many times before. If not, a couple of days is safe to nicely bump your thread again. Remember that this section isn't any different than the rest of the forums, and sometimes threads there get missed to. We all do our best. (Remember, too, that if people don't know the answer, it's tough to offer any suggestions.)

Let's try and get this thing organized so that not so many people are left hanging. The reason that forum has been overlooked in the past is because many of our users here aren't bothering to go there. We're not using this setup to its full potential. Let's also not use this thread as a way to to call attention to our support threads. If we get this going correctly, it will be of benefit to all of us.

Please direct your support questions to the ibProArcade Support Forum

[hardboiled]

Wondering how I can change the background color of the arcade. Right now it's a very light-blue, and contrasts with the white text in a very unflattering way. Any ideas?
