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:

If not, give me a URL that I can look at to see if I can determine what the problem might be.

Savant: Did you replace the old versions of the games with the new versions?
If that isn't it, find the line near the top of proarcade.php that says something like $vpadebug = "off" and change that to "on" and then let me know and I'll look again.

To all:
I am leaving right now for the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and will not be back consistently until around the 14th or 15th of the month. I will TRY to stop in when I can usually my cell modem and notebook, but I make no guarantees. So, until then, good luck with the hack and I hope you all enjoy it.

I have to jet out of here right now. I will try and figure it out and get back to you. Good luck. edit: Upon further inspection, the hash that is going to the game does not match the one that is being pulled back from the database. I can think of no reason why this would occur, and it's the first time that I've seen it. If anybody else sees this same sort of behavior, it might be back to the proverbial drawing board for this hack. heh

welp, as a temporary bandaid, in proarcade.php, i changed this:
// now, we check gamehash if ($newhash == $hashcheck) { to this: // now, we check gamehash if ($newhash == $newhash) { and that'l at least get the games working for now. The good news is the records scores and everything else seems to be in order  thanks again futureal!
